Joseph’s expression twisted into a sneer. “Would you be willing to do it if it were Icarus?”

Deep furrows appeared on Chloe’s forehead as she glared at him. “Who gave you the audacity to make such assumptions about me?”

Chloe’s frustration grew, causing her to avert her gaze and look out the window.

Sensing an implicit admission in her reaction, Joseph was consumed by anger. He abruptly stood up, creating a resounding slam as he stormed out of the room.

The footsteps outside gradually faded until they disappeared entirely.

bitterness.

In the blink of an eye, a month had passed. The caregiver who had been taking care of her accompanied her to Aesper and stayed at her house for two more days. Only when she saw that Chloe was moving around with ease did she finally feel at ease to leave.

Before leaving, the caregiver said, “Ms. Chloe, I hope you won’t find this offensive. Mr. Joseph may seem cold, but he genuinely cares about your well-being. He calls every day to ask about your health.”
