Rebirth Reclaiming Her Self (Angela and Joseph) novel Chapter 404

Chapter 404 Can We Talk

Joseph felt a sense of unease as Scarlet abruptly grabbed him and spoke frantically

He was originally anxious for a while when a rush of realization hit him. He recalled Christopher mentioning yesterday that Zachariasmatch had been arranged, and Scarlet seemed to have agreed, too

In the midst of his confusion and Scarlet’s urgency, he had completely forgotten it. What’s going on? Something seems off

Scarlet continued to be restless, and her voice grew increasingly desperate. Bring that wretched Angela here! If something happens to Zacharias, let her make amends with her life!” 

Her voice had become raspy, and her eyes were bloodshot red

Mom!Joseph shouted suddenly as if trying to snap her out of it

He gripped her arms tightly and stared into her somewhat dazed eyes. Mom, Christopher said you agreed to the match arrangement before. Don’t you remember?” 

He wanted to confirm the truth of Christopher’s words

The rush back here, on top of Scarlet’s incessant questioning, caused his thoughts to go in various directions. His mind went blank, and he somehow forgot Christopher’s words

Scarlet remained bewildered as if stuck in a trance. I don’t know!” 

She shook her head incessantly, and her already disheveled hair resembled a mop

Seeing her complexion turn paler by the second, he felt both worried and anxious. He knew pressing her for answers now wouldn’t get him anywhere. Mom, please try to calm down,he urged. Please, just try to relax.” 

But Scarlet couldn’t calm down at all

She clung tightly to his arm; her face was drained of colors, and her body trembled uncontrollably. Still, she stubbornly gritted her teeth and insisted, You’re not allowed to use Zachariaskidney!” 

Upon hearing this, he immediately made a promise. Mom, I promise, even if the match is successful, I won’t let him donate.” 

At his pledge, she suddenly passed out

Joseph quickly called for a doctor, who reassured him that Scarlet had simply passed out from the shock and exhaustion, with no serious. consequences. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief

As soon as the doctor exited the ward, Fanny burst in. Joseph, what’s going on with Mom?she asked anxiously, her face etched with concern

Fanny was panting, and it seemed she had dashed over here in a panic

With her already fragile health, her face was now deathly pale from the hurried run

Upon seeing her looking so weak and vulnerable, Joseph felt a tug at his heartstrings

Don’t worry. Mom’s alright. But you need to take care of yourself. Your health isn’t fully back yet,” he assured her as he tidied her slightly messy hair

Fanny stood there breathless as her eyes darted nervously. Are you sure

Mom’s okay? Maybe I should stay here with her,” she suggested

Joseph shook his head firmly. Scarlet’s collapse had been too sudden, and he hadn’t had the chance to fill Fanny in on the kidney match

He worried that if Scarlet let something slip, it would make Fanny distressed. Fanny is so kindhearted. Knowing that Zacharias wants to donate his kidney to her will surely make her sad

Fanny pursed her lips. Upon seeing his solemn expression, she didn’t insist on staying. She hesitated and said, Then should we let Christopher take care of him? He has a day off today.” 

Joseph’s expression darkened at the mention of Christopher’s name

No, absolutely not!His sudden firmness startled her

She timidly met his gaze, and uncertainty flooded her heart

Upon seeing her wideeyed and startled, he realized he needed to reassure her

After persuading Fanny to leave, Joseph checked the time

There were still twenty minutes until 2 o’clock, and the cethey had agreed upon was about twenty minutes away. Time was he needed to leave immediately to meet Angela

Little did he know that as soon as he left the hospital, Fanny circled back

She stepped into the ward and took a seat beside the unconscious Scarlet

At two in the afternoon, after Jonathan took Angela to the coffee shop, Joseph hurried over

Angela had promised Jonathan could be by her side in her meeting with Joseph, so as soon as the agreedupon time approached, Jonathan hurried back home to fetch her

When Joseph entered the private room, Jonathan barely glanced at him, and his attention was still primarily focused on Angela

He kept holding Angela’s soft hand, but he couldn’t play with it on the table like before, so he had to keep it under the table as Joseph had arrived

Sorry for being late,Joseph apologized. He quickly checked the time and noted that it was exactly one minute past two

His face looked terrible, and he seemed in a hurry. As soon as he arrived at the private room, he didn’t even sit down before speaking, and he even gasped for breath while looking a bit disheveled

Jonathan remained silent. His stern expression clearly hinted at his displeasure with Joseph

Here, have some water,Angela said calmly, and she nodded toward the glass on the table as a gentle prompt for Joseph to hydrate himself first

Despite her attempt to free her hand from Jonathan’s firm grasp, she sensed his unease toward Joseph and decided to let him hold onto it

She understood that Jonathan was sticking close out of concern for her

During their journey here, she had assured him that she would handle everything carefully this time without leaving any loose ends

In response, he refrained from interfering and obediently trusted her judgment

When she thought about this, she cast a soft, affectionate glance at him
