"Joseph, are you alright?"
Zoe's eyes were filled with joy.
Joseph only felt that his eyes were burning. He was in no mood to answer Zoe. He did not know what had happened to him just now. His eyes indeed hurt terribly.
"Where's Daddy?"
Joseph still couldn't open's his eyes. But he thought of something.
Zoe hurriedly said, "Daddy is still confessing, like possessed by evil. Joseph, you were just the same. This ancestral hall is evil. Hurry up and save Daddy."
"Do what you did to me to save Daddy."
Joseph could not open his eyes at all.
Although Zoe's method was rather ruthless, it was very effective.
However, Zoe smiled bitterly and said, "I don't dare. That's Daddy."
She could do that to Joseph, but not to Samuel.
Joseph hurriedly said, "Be bold and do it. If we delay any longer, something else might happen. Hurry up!"
Zoe nodded.
Zoe didn't hesitate anymore. She sprayed the chili water on Samuel's face.
Samuel let out a cry.
Samuel became stunned for a while. He groaned due to the burning sensation. Zoe said timidly, "Daddy, don't blame me. I'm trying to save you. I'm not a doctor. Daddy, are you awake?"
Samuel's heart suddenly beat fast.
He frowned when remembering his reaction just now. His solemn expression frightened Zoe. She hid behind Joseph.
"Joseph, will Daddy hit me?"
"I won't!"
Samuel answered her.
"Zoe, ask the people outside to fetch a tub of water."
"Got it."
Zoe sighed in relief after seeing Samuel back to normal.
She intended to fetch the water by herself. But this place scared her. She followed Samuel's order.
"Someone, go fetch a tub of water. Hurry up."
Zoe could be serious and dominating.
The bodyguard quickly followed her order.
Samuel and Joseph washed their face and left the ancestral hall.
Joseph applied some ointment around his eyes and Samuel's. The burning sensation was relieved.
Samuel stared at the ancestral hall and pondered.
He knew what he had done just now. It was like a nightmare. He could do nothing to prevent himself from acting crazy.
That was perhaps the deepest guilt in his heart.
He blamed himself.
He blamed himself for neglecting the changes in Vincent. He thought that under his protection, Vincent would be able to live a carefree life. He assumed Vincent could do anything he wanted with his life.
He didn't know whether Vincent blamed him or not, nor did he have the chance to know. However, his past choice became some kind of trauma he could never recover from.
Samuel was held by a pair of soft hands.
Samuel was slightly stunned. He lowered his head and saw Joseph.
Joseph looked in the direction of the ancestral hall and frowned, "Daddy, this ancestral hall is too strange. Are we still staying here?"
"Some clues can only be found here, so we can't leave now. Joseph, thank you."
Samuel did not forget what Joseph said after losing his mind. Was that the real thought of Joseph?
However good he and Nicole were to Joseph, they couldn't replace his biological parents, right?
He actually hated them, didn't he?
Samuel was filled with mixed feelings, not knowing what to say. He pretended that he didn't hear anything. He didn't want things to be too difficult between them.
However, Joseph did not understand Samuel's feelings. He whispered, "I was in a nightmare just now. I knew those words would hurt you, but I still said them. Daddy, I don't know if that's what I really think in my mind. I love you and mom, but just now...."
"That's ok. I understand, Joseph. I don't blame you, really."
Samuel felt sorry for Joseph.
When he found out five years ago that Joseph was the only son of Vincent, he wanted to give him everything of the Green family.
But Joseph shook his head and said, "I love you, Daddy, and I love Mommy, too. But the words seemed to be my true feelings. I don't know how to face you and myself. Put the issue aside. Time will prove everything. Perhaps I'll change my mind after ten years."
He looked at Samuel with a smile, resembling Vincent.
Samuel's heart ached slightly.
He regretted.

What is it with Chinese authors.
