Suddenly, there was a violent sound from the elevator, and the calling machine responded.
Kathy picked up the interphone,” We are trapped in the elevator.”
“I have arranged rescue personnel, Kathy, I am here.”
He was here.
Kathy finally relaxed.
But in the next second, Edith frantically pulled Kathy's hair.
"You bastard, you must die..."
“Ouch…”
Kathy didn't hold back the scream, and subconsciously pushed Edith away.
She was hit on the back of her head and fell to the ground.
Kathy was startled. When she turned around, the smell of blood made her tense.
Edith didn't seem to move…
She squatted down to help Edith up, and couldn’t talk to Joseph.
But she didn’t response at all.
“Edith!”
She turned on the flashlight and saw the injury on Edith's forehead, which must be dealt with immediately.
But she had nothing here.
She hurriedly picked up the interphone, “Joseph…Edith is unconscious…”
Kathy panicked without hearing Joseph’s voice.
Joseph’s voice came again a few minutes.
“Kathy.”
Kathy looked up and watched the elevator doors open little by little. Finally, Joseph's long figure came into her view.
She breathed a sigh of relief, and fell right on her rear, seeming like she was wiped out.
Joseph strode in, held Kathy's cold hands, and took her into his arms.
He frowned when he saw the blood on Edith’s face.
He said to the security guard behind him, “Call an ambulance.”
"Let's go back first." Joseph didn't want Kathy to stay in this bloody place.
Kathy nodded, and asked when she thought of Edith, "She is your sister, don't you go to the hospital?"
“I will ask Conor Nicholson to go.”
Pursing her lips, Kathy got on the car and was still in shock.
The chilling scream of Edith seemed to still linger in her ears.
“Has she ever been raped before?” Kathy asked.
Joseph frowned and said, “Yes. She stayed in the Wesley family when she was young, and her uncle tried to rape her, so I took her to the Joseph family later.”
Kathy realized that Edith’s childhood was overshadowed by Living in such an environment.
Joseph was the one who pulled her out of trouble. She could understand Edith's feelings for him.
“What are you thinking about?” Noticing her silence, Joseph turned Kathy’s face and asked.
Kathy shook his head, but her expression showed that something was bothering her.
"I was wondering why you didn't like her.” Kathy murmured.
Joseph squinted and knocked on her head, "Don't think about these all day long."
“Fine.”
At this moment, out of the corner of his eye, Joseph saw that there were several injuries on her arms.
Maybe she and Edith collided just now.
"I shouldn't have agreed that you work with her." Joseph said coldly.
“It is just an accident and had nothing to do with her.” Kathy explained.
” I knew that you two didn't get along well.”
Kathy pursed her lips and smiled ,” You have so many admirers, wouldn't I be tired if I avoided all of them?”
Joseph turned his head and smiled, “Are you jealous?”
there was a slight blush on Kathy’s cheeks,” No.”
After returning to the Booth’s residence, Joseph asked the servants to bring the medicine box.
Kathy sat on the sofa and Joseph applied medicine on her wounds.
