Rebirth Reclaiming Her Self

Chapter 284 Spreading Rumors

“Joseph? Why are you back?” Fanny looked at Joseph with a mix of surprise and fear, unsure of where to place her hands and feet.

“Fanny, you shouldn’t have returned. Angela won’t go easy on Zacharias if she finds out,” Joseph said, his tone softening at the sight of Fanny’s pitiful expression.

“Joseph, I can’t go back to the Lynch Family. That woman treated me so poorly before, and even though she’s locked up now, people will still gossip about me.”

Fanny cried as she spoke, appearing very pitiful.

“Didn’t Mom rent a house for you?” Joseph suggested helplessly. “Move in there. You can always come to us if you need anything but don’t come back here. That way, Angela won’t have a chance to find fault with you.”

Fanny bit her lip, about to say something, when she suddenly heard a noise coming from the kitchen.

Joseph followed, only to find Fanny carefully ladling out soup.

Seeing Joseph approaching, Fanny timidly said, “Joseph, this is the soup I made for you. I was planning to bring it to you when I visit Mom later, but she’s still asleep, and I want to spend more time with her, taking care of her.”

Touched by Fanny’s thoughtfulness, Joseph felt a mix of heartache and tenderness and reassured her. “Thank you, Fanny. I know you’ve been through a lot, but there’s no other option right now. Once Zacharias is better, we’ll bring you back.”

Fanny continued to plead, “But I want to be closer to my brothers so I can see all of you more
