"What happened?"
Nicole and Laurel immediately ran up. The moment they opened the door, both of them were stunned.
Joseph broke free from Samuel's embrace and bumped into a flower stand on the side. The vase on the flower stand fell to the ground and broke into two. Meanwhile, Joseph curled up in the corner of the wall with his arms around his knees and his head buried in his knees, feeling extremely insecure like a hurt animal.
A lump suddenly came into Nicole's throat.
"Joseph."
Laurel was also heartbroken when she saw this.
"Joseph, come here. Come to me. I love you most."
However, Joseph still did not respond to anyone no matter what they said.
He sat there like a statue, quiet and expressionless. It was really a heartbreaking scene.
Samuel walked over and squatted down in front of Joseph directly, ignoring the glass fragments of the vase.
"I know how you feel now. You can just cry. You are still a child and don't need to withhold. It's cold on the ground. Let's stand up, okay?"
Samuel's voice was soft and gentle, but Joseph didn't seem to hear it.
Nicole couldn't help but take a step forward and came to Joseph.
"Joseph, let me take you back to rest. It's really cold on the ground. Or do you want Lucas to come back to accompany you?"
Hearing this, Laurel was dumbfounded.
"Right, where's Lucas? Where did Lucas go?"
Their people said, "Young Master went to City A. We haven't heard from him yet."
"What?"
Nicole suddenly became flustered.
They were in such a mess in City A, but Lucas still didn't show up. Did he have any trouble?
"When did he leave? Send people to find him now!"
"Yes!"
After their people left, Nicole looked at Joseph in front of her and felt sorry again.
"Joseph, come to me, will you?"
Joseph resisted.
He was resisting everyone, muttering something.
Only when Nicole got closer did she hear it clearly.
