Chapter 142

Willow sat by Grace’s bed in the ward room, offering her comfort.

“Your uncle employed a plethora of contacts and engaged Lawyer Stewart to secure your aunt’s release from the prosecution. It’s evident that your uncle is very devoted to your aunt.”

“With your aunt’s assistance, it’s highly probable that you’ll wed Joseph! Recently, didn’t he come to the hospital to see you when he had some free time? He spoke to you in a friendly manner. It’s clear that the connection between you two has become more relaxed!”

Willow was happy. She felt that her identity as the mother-in-law of President Sawle Group was also very likely. “You should be more familiar with Joseph’s temperament than me. If he really had a problem with you, why would he come to the hospital to be with you?”

“Brother Joseph… I’m sorry…”

Grace was on the verge of tears, and she glanced at him flirtatiously. I’m the one who caused you grief… It’s all my doing…”

“Look after your body well. Don’t overthink it.”

After saying that, Joseph turned and departed the ward room.

Grace tightly clenched the corner of the quilt, wanting to say so much to Joseph, yet he was no longer the same neighborhood brother who doted on and protected her, always obedient to her.

The way he looked at her sometimes caused her to panic.

She winked at Willow quickly, and Willow nodded in response, then quickly followed him.

“That… Mr. Sawle.”

Joseph stopped and gave Willow a cold look. “What’s the issue?”
