“You got the point,” Emma teased. “Indeed your intelligence is similar to a pig’s, despite your good look.”
John rolled his eyes helplessly. “Can you treat a patient more nicely?”
Emma replied without hesitation, “No.”
I burst into a chuckle. My heart secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
No one could predict how many dirty moves Nathaniel still had in his pocket. Hence, the safest way was to wait and do nothing. Even though John did not agree directly, I was sure he would not act rashly anymore.
After leaving the hospital, I kept dialing Joseph’s number, but all the calls failed to go through.
In the end, I asked the driver to head toward the headquarter of Fuller Corporation. Luckily, the second I walked into the lobby, I saw Joseph talking with clients.
I got near him and waited for him. When he was about to stand up and leave, I called him. “Mr. Campbell.”
Joseph turned around and noticed me. He walked toward me composedly and greeted, “Mrs. Fuller.”
He bowed to me politely just like old times.
He was the one who spent the most time with Ashton. Thus, I trusted him the most, and I thought maybe I could get some news from him. “Can we talk?”
Joseph did not show any reactions. He scanned the surroundings and nodded slightly. “Okay, Let’s go upstairs.”
I agreed without hesitation, eager to find out the truth.
Joseph personally made tea for me. It was my favorite tea.
