My Sweetheart

The door was pushed open completely and Kathy could gradually clearly see Joseph's full figure, until the sight of him was ingrained into Kathy's eyes.

He gazed her for an incredibly brief moment, but Kathy still managed to see his worry.

It was more than enough.

Joseph turned his gaze to Julian.

"Tsk, you really are a member of the family to find this place so swiftly." Julian moved to behind Kathy to keep a safe distance.

“We’re not family anymore, Julian,” Joseph briefly said.

These words must have irked Julian; he began to shout uncontrollably, “Who says I’m not a member of the Joseph family! I’m the son of Diego Joseph! My last name is Joseph! Even if I’m an illegitimate child, I’m still a member of the family!”

“Julian, just accept the facts; Diego is now in jail; your only supporting pillar is long gone.”

“No! Who says I have no support! Your woman is in my hands, Joseph; if you don’t find a way to free me, don’t expect her to live.”

Kathy was scared stiff; the cold gun on the side of her head made her subconsciously look up.

The man standing before her was still dressed in his typical white clothes and black pants, with a cold expression on his face and radiating an aura of coldness.

His sight was fixed on Kathy, staring at her deeply.

His anger swelled and was slowly waiting to explode.

Kathy slightly moved and regained composure; she wanted to break free from Julian’s grasp, but the eminent danger of being shot made her afraid to move again.

Even though she has lived for so many years, this was the first time that she has faced such a predicament. Right now, her eyes slowly began to turn red as she began to tear up; she was completely unable to control her emotions.

She wasn’t even scared prior to Joseph arrival, since she knew that he would come save her, so she didn’t think the situation was that threatening. As long as Joseph was around, everything could be resolved, anything was possible.

In her heart, he was always the strongest, most capable person.

Except, right now, now that Joseph was actually here, she suddenly felt weak and helpless.
