When Kathy woke up the next day, she was a little dazed and didn't know when she fell asleep last night.
The place next to her was already empty and cold. Apparently Joseph had been up for a while.
Laying on the bed with her eyes closed, Kathy heard the footsteps from the stairs.
Someone knocked on the door outside, "Kathy, are you up?"
Kathy hurriedly finished washing and went to open the door.
"I cooked the porridge." The hostess put the food on the table with a smile, "Drink another bowl of ginger soup after eating. After all, you get wet in the rain yesterday."
Kathy remembered the ginger soup last night, smiled and said, "Thank you both."
"It’s my fault. I didn’t remind you not to go to West Mountain. It’s easy to get lost... Yesterday Joseph came back and found that you were gone. He was so anxious that he went out to look for you. When he came back, he insisted on staying there until he finally found you."
Kathy had been drinking the porridge in silence, and the hostess was still talking, "Later, he kept reminding me to make ginger soup for you..."
"I'm done drinking." Kathy suddenly interrupted the hostess, smiled and said, "Thank you."
Because they will leave in the evening, Kathy started packing.
She folded the clothes and put them neatly in the travel bag.
First she put her own, and then put Joseph's, but when she just put his clothes in it, she tore off his clothes angrily.
Thinking of Joseph's threats to her and maintaining such an obscure relationship with him, she took a deep breath and felt a tremendous pressure on her chest.
At this time, Joseph had already entered, and he sat opposite her. He looked at her with a complex expression in his eyes.
Kathy bit her lip tightly. She didn't want to expose any emotions in front of Joseph, so she turned her back to him and reorganized all her clothes.
After lunch, Joseph didn't rush back, but raised his eyebrows at Kathy and asked in a low voice, "Can you walk?"
She sipped her tea and did not look up, "Emm?"
The old couple seemed to notice something unpleasant between them, so encouraged them, "Why don't you go for a walk today? The weather is so good, since you will leave at night, go out and take a walk. We can cook meal at home to wait for you."
Kathy smiled at the hostess's enthusiastic smile and nodded involuntarily.
After a night’s rest, the wound of Kathy's ankle was healing. She walked very slowly, and he did not urge her. The two were walking slowly along a river in the town.
"Is that child a boy or a girl?" Kathy asked suddenly.
When Zofia called Joseph, she heard the child's voice.
But she can’t hear clearly.
Joseph frowned. He kept watching Kathy without any expression on his face.
"Boy," he replied.
Kathy smiled. She wanted to ask if he and Zofia were married, but it didn't seem to matter anymore. She didn't want to know anything about Joseph anymore.
She would rather be kept in the dark all the time.
He turned his head, noticed the indifferent smile at the corner of Kathy's mouth, and his mouth suddenly tightened into a thin line.
