Joseph’s appearance let Rebekah forget struggling and she was ended up being pushed back to the bed.
“You guys can have a talk.”
Hayden then put the apple and knife at the night stand. While passing through Joseph, she let out an encouraging smile.
It was not easy to clear up a twenty years of misunderstanding which was full of resentment. They needed much more time to heal this wound.
After Hayden, Rebekah looked more uneasy. “Joseph, I’ll leave this afternoon and won’t trouble you.”
Looking at Rebekah, Joseph frowned. “The doctor said that you should stay in the hospital for a whole week. If you just leave this afternoon, the doctor will just ask me where did you go. Isn’t this troubling?”
Hearing his words, Rebekah paused and didn’t know how to respond.
Joseph frowned more and seemed unnatural.
It was then all quiet in the ward. “Zed was detained for now. He had committed a lot of crimes before, so he probably would be sentenced dead. Do you have anything to say to him before the trial?”
Joseph even mentioned Zed and wasn’t dodging his existence.
Rebekah’s hands which were clutching at the blanket then relaxed and said lightly, “No.”
Since Joseph had already known the truth, it would be much awkward for her if she just pretended that nothing had happened. It was better that they cleared everything up.
Joseph nodded and said, “Benjamin’s injury isn’t that serious. He is running a fever now and hasn’t woken up yet. He is transferred to the military hospital in Nanking yesterday. If you don’t want to live here, you can just transfer to his hospital.”
Rebekah looked up in surprise, “What... what did you call him?”
She hadn’t never expected that Joseph would be willing to admit that Benjamin was his brother. It would be good enough for her if Joseph just saw him as a stranger.
But Joseph just avoided her look and said, “He is still father’s only son and grandfather’s only grandson no matter what. He will also be the Beckham and ST Group’s heir in the future. I’ll be responsible for his life after.”
Rebekah suddenly felt painful inside.
Her biggest feat was that Joseph would start questioning himself if he knew everything. It really just happened.
“Nonsense!”
The serious atmosphere in the ward was suddenly broken by an old voice.
“Grandpa?”
“Dad?”
Joseph and Rebekah both shouted out.
Old Mater Beckham then walked in with a serious and angry look.
“Your father raised you thirteen years and I raised for twenty years. How can you say that you are not his son and my grandson? Is this the way you are respecting us?”
Though still frowned, Joseph’s face lightened a bit.
“I’ve known everything.”
Seeing the daughter that he hadn’t seen in twenty years in the hospital bed, the Old Master Beckham suddenly felt emotional and his eyes started welling up. But he didn’t want any more to see it and just tilted his head to wipe away the tears.
Rebekah hurriedly wanted to get out of the bed. “Dad.”
“Don’t move.”
The Old Master Beckham just waved his hand and sounded upset, “You are injured. Don’t move. We can just have a talk here. You can just also tell me how you raised Benjamin up alone all these years.”
