When saying goodbye to the old couple, Kathy was still very reluctant. After all, the days here were too peaceful and comfortable.
It would be perfect without Joseph by her side.
"Come here next time when you are free." The hostess hugged Kathy warmly.
It wasn't until Joseph drove back that Kathy recovered from the sense of loss in a daze, and asked, "Did you... have you paid for the room?"
Joseph curled his lips, but didn't answer.
Kathy turned her head stiffly, and the surrounding area suddenly became quiet. There were not many cars on the highway. It was deserted. Kathy leaned on the seat and looked at the humdrum scenery outside the window. Gradually, she felt sleepy.
When she opened her eyes again, she realized it was completely dark, and the car had parked, and there was no one in the driver's seat.
Kathy unfastened his seat belt and went down. In the dark night, Joseph was leaning against the door of the car and his fingertips held a cigarette end which glowed red in the darkness.
"You... don't you want to rush back?" Kathy couldn't help asking.
He didn't speak and just turned around in the dark. His eyes fell on her, and asked coldly, "What's the matter?"
Kathy hesitated for a while, but still said, "I'll let someone come and pick me up."
He did not answer. He got into the car and turned on the lights. He waited until she was sitting next to her before speaking faintly, "No need. Are you going to see your mother? It just so happened that Zofia brought the child over and was in the same hospital. ."
The car was galloping on the streets of Country F. Kathy looked at the city that was still unfamiliar to her and felt cold all over.
"Are you sure you want Zofia to see us together?" She tried to speak calmly.
He suddenly smiled, and finally turned his head to look at her, "You still have five minutes, maybe you can try to make me change my mind."
Kathy's head lolled, her nails almost scratching her palms.
Her mind was blank, and she couldn't say a word.
"Why?"
After a while, Kathy finally asked, "Don't you love her?"
The relationship between him and Zofia was undoubtedly a couple in everyone's eyes, but she couldn’t find any intimate behavior between the two in the past.
"You can guess." While waiting for the red light, Joseph suddenly leaned over and patted her cheek lightly.
She avoided, her delicate eyebrows furrowed tightly, "Did you quarrel? So use me to stimulate her?"
A shadow of a smile touched his mouth, but his tone was meaningful, "I'm not willing."
What did this mean?
He was unwilling to hurt Zofia, or unwilling to use Kathy?
Kathy was stunned. The red light quickly turned green, and the car continued to gallop away. Joseph didn't speak any more and bends. Then they arrived the hospital.
The car drove into the parking lot quickly, and Kathy's heart beat quickly. She was very nervous.
When the car stopped, she didn't move for a while. He patiently helped her unfasten the seat belt and opened the door again. He said with a gentle attitude, "You can get out of the car."
The lights in the parking lot were very dim, and Kathy walked very fast. Since the incident of being secretly photographed, she will now subconsciously become more vigilant.
The footsteps behind him kept catching up, and Joseph clasped her wrist, "Why are you walking so fast?"
When Kathy raised her head and met his dangerous eyes. There was a hint of smile hidden inside. She was a little angry and pushed him away forcefully.
