My Sweetheart novel Chapter 270

“Do you agree?” Veronica raised her eyebrows.

“Yes. He doesn’t look focused. Maybe, to him, she’s no different from others,” Kathy answered calmly.

“Are you not willing to marry my brother? Because it seems so.”

“Of course not. Joseph is impeccable from his status to his personality. There’s nothing to dislike about him.”

“You’re right. That’s why many girls like him,” Veronica agreed.

Her personality was similar to Kathy’s.

“I think I spoke too much. I must have been bored spending a long time not being able to come out. Now that I’m out, I feel relaxed,” Veronica continued, “ I will go back too my room first. I don’t feel well.”

Looking at her shadow, Kathy looked down at her feet.

Even though she’s wearing a skirt, she had a pair of prosthetic legs.

She’s just in her early twenties, but she didn’t have the enthusiasm that she’s supposed to have at her age.

At night, her grandfather asked her to stay back for dinner. However, Joseph left as he had business. He would pick her up when he’s done.

Kathy sighed in relief when she knew that Diego wouldn’t be around. She’s not afraid of him, but she didn’t want to be with him either.

Joseph came back after finishing his job. He went up to Veronica’s room after knowing that she came back.

“Why are you messing around?” He asked her angrily.

Veronica lifted her head and looked at her brother. Her lips curved into a smile as she spoke, “Brother, I finally meet you.”

“Why did you come back?” Joseph remained strict.

She asked him, “Don’t you want to see me?”

Joseph went silent. He felt pity for her.

“I know that you’re worry about me. However, I can’t hide from him forever, can I?”

“I will still be worried about you.” Joseph looked serious.

However, Veronica smiled and said, “This happened a long time ago so don’t be too worried about it. I just want to attend your wedding. He won’t be around.”

“He is.”

Veronica’s expression slightly changed.

“I will protect myself this time.”

“Veronica.”

“Brother, let me attend your wedding, please?” She desperately begged her brother.

“Go back immediately after the wedding,” Joseph sighed.

Veronica grinned and nodded her head.

Joseph’s expression remained tense on the way back home.

Kathy looked at him. He seemed to not be in a good mood after meeting Veronica.

“Is there anything wrong?”

Joseph didn’t say anything. Instead, he drove the car faster.

Kathy held onto the door until they reached home.

This was the first time Joseph drove past the speed limit.

Even though he had good driving skills, but it’s still too much for Kathy…

She immediately opened the door and left the car. It was only then Joseph came to his senses. He immediately went over to her and hugged her.

“I’m sorry.” He still seemed stressed out.

“Can you tell me what happened?” Kathy asked while looking at him.

His eyes slightly dropped.

“My heart sank when I saw Veronica.”

“What happened to her leg?”

“Three years ago, she tried committing suicide. She was saved after that, but her lower body remained disabled for life.” Joseph explained.

Kathy was taken aback. Suicide…

She looked at the scars on her wrists. She could relate to that feeling.

“She will recover from it.” Kathy tried to console him.

“The mental scar will remain there forever.”

“So, the reason you didn’t want her to come back to City N, is because that happened when she was here?” She guessed.

Joseph didn’t respond, which meant that he agreed.

Kathy then stopped asking further. She knew that, this incident had not only hurt Veronica, it also made Joseph mad.
