My Sweetheart
Chapter 324 She Can Feel His Fear

The car stopped in front of the Courts half an hour later.

Veronica stopped her wheelchair when she saw Kathy getting out of Joseph's car.

But because her brother was present, she didn't show her anger. But she was very unhappy.

Kathy didn't bother with her and went directly into the Court. Veronica looked at her brother but held back her words. But she can guess her brother's intentions.

"Did you fake your divorce?" Veronica mumbled.

Joseph raised his eyebrow when he heard and said, "The divorce is real but only she can be Mrs. Joseph."

The hearing ended within an hour. Joseph engaged the best lawyer in City N for Macie and her sentence was settled at 5 years.

Veronica was pale and couldn't accept this result.

"Brother, isn't there any other way? How can my mother be in that place for five years..." Veronica asked anxiously.

Joseph held onto her wheelchair and frowned, "It's already the best outcome."

"Brother..." Veronica grabbed onto her brother's sleeve as her tears flowed when she saw her mother being led away.

Diego and Nell were also nearby.

When Veronica saw that cold-blooded father, she rushed over angrily.

She struggled to raise her hand and forcefully slapped Nell across the face.

"Do you have no shame seducing someone else's husband?" Veronica yelled.

"Veronica!" Diego grabbed her wrist and stopped her further actions.

He held Nell in his embrace and frowned angrily, "Veronica, that is enough!"

"No! You caused my mother to be imprisoned all because of this woman. Where's your conscience? Diego, now I detest the fact that I have your blood coursing through my veins!" Veronica said hysterically and was at breaking point emotionally. Diego continued to frown, "I am your father regardless. This is a fact cast in stone!"

"You are not... I had long cut off ties with you..." Veronica continued to sob.

"Veronica." Joseph held her wrist and embraced her after seeing her lunge forward with disregard for her own safety.

"Take your sister away. Don't let her continue to make a scene publicly!" Diego demanded.

"Ouch, my face hurts..." The woman in his embrace cried coyly.

Diego's heart ached and consoled her, "Don't cry, now that the woman is in prison, I'll go with you to register our marriage." "What? Marriage? In your dreams! This woman will never be accepted by the Joseph family." Veronica said coldly.

At this moment, Nell wept bitterly.

"Shut your mouth, Veronica!"

"Diego, leave with your woman and don't affect Veronica's mood," Joseph said coldly. He exuded an ominous stance.

"Both of you..."

"Fuck off, Diego!" Joseph rarely lost his patience but now he was furious.

It had been a long time since Veronica saw her brother being so angry. He was normally very pleasant and easy-going but she had seen the deeper and darker side of him.

"The two of you are something! I'll see how long you can keep this up!" Diego hugged Nell as they left.

"Next time don't quarrel with them. I can't bear to see my sister getting angry, okay?" Joseph bent over and said warmly.

"I can't stomach this anger that he did this to my mother because of a mistress..."

Joseph said solemnly, "I will not go easy on those who hurt you."

Kathy observed the entire scene from a distance away. She had to walk past Joseph if she wanted to leave and she didn't want to meet him.

Kathy turned and walked into the restroom. Veronica also went in soon after.

They looked at each other in the mirror at the washbasin.

Kathy turned away expressionless.

"My brother still thinks about you," Veronica said coldly.

Kathy frowned, "I have nothing to do with Joseph anymore."

"Didn't he send you here just now? It looks like the two of you are still getting along even after the divorce." Veronica wasn't as angry after she saw Kathy. She still trusted her brother.

"You've read too much into it." Kathy left after washing her hands.

At this moment, Veronica was about to sit on the toilet bowl but she slipped and fell.

Kathy stopped when she heard the commotion and Veronica's cry for help, "Is there someone..."

Kathy quickly walked in and saw Veronica sitting on the wet floor. She wore a long dress and her artificial limb was visible.

Veronica grabbed onto Kathy's arm and struggled to her feet as Kathy pushed the wheelchair over.

Veronica's wound was bleeding and she was pale from the pain.

"Send me to the hospital please." She said in pain and didn't bother that the person was Kathy.

Kathy frowned with worry at Veronica's condition and pushed her out. Joseph was not outside and she called him immediately. "Kathy," Joseph answered.

"Veronica fell in the restroom and she has a gaping wound. She needs to go to the hospital immediately." She said anxiously. Kathy frowned even more when she looked at the horrifying blood on Veronica's leg.

"I'll be there at once!"

After hanging up the call, Kathy squat down to look at Veronica's injury. Her lower leg was amputated and when she saw that Kathy was looking at it, she quickly adjusted her dress to cover it. "Don't think that just because you saved me, I will forgive you," Veronica said with a straight face.

Kathy replied nonchalantly, "I never expected you to lower your bias against me."

Joseph rushed over quickly and carried Veronica down the stairs. The driver already drove the car over.

Kathy followed behind and as Joseph placed Veronica down, he turned and said to her, "Come over to help me."

Before she could answer, Joseph had already pulled her into the car.

In the car, Joseph performed first aid on Veronica's wound as Kathy assisted.

Veronica had some reservations and was on her guard.

She blocked Kathy's hand, "I don't want your help."

Joseph frowned and with a stern tone, "Stop it, Veronica."

Kathy lowered her gaze and her hand pressed gently onto Veronica's wound and it hurt so much that tears started to flow.

"Ms. Veronica, please be still, or I won't know what I'll do next."

"You..." Veronica looked at Joseph, "Brother, look at this woman!"

Joseph grinned, "Veronica, be still."

They quickly arrived at the hospital. Veronica had a rather high threshold for pain and was able to endure the journey.

Joseph sighed in relief when he saw her being pushed into the treatment room.

His palms were wet with sweat and even his body trembled slightly.

She could feel his fear.

Kathy unconsciously held onto Joseph's hand.

When she realized and relaxed her hand, he had already held onto her hand tightly.000000
