Chapter 401 Stirring Up Trouble

Angela, after thinking things through, asserted, “I’ll handle any further contact from Joseph.”

The mere thought of reaching out to Joseph turned Angela’s stomach.

Jonathan, not one to argue, chimed in, “Mind if I tag along when you meet him?”

His request took her by surprise, and while she was hesitating, he acknowledged, “I’m concerned he might bully you.”

A faint blush colored Angela’s checks and cars as she subtly nodded.

As the night wore on, Joseph returned to the hospital and found Christopher in Zacharias‘ room. Furrowing his brow, he realized that Christopher couldn’t facilitate contact with Jonathan although he was Jonathan’s younger brother.

“Joseph, back already?” Christopher spoke softly, careful not to disturb Zacharias.

He had come here after being bullied by Jane and was exhausted. However, he hid his exhaustion well.

Joseph didn’t reply, merely gesturing for Christopher to follow him outside. Despite his apprehension, Christopher complied..

They walked in silence until Joseph finally stopped and turned to face Christopher’s hesitant expression.

A sense of foreboding washed over Joseph as he avoided broaching Christopher’s involvement with another woman. Instead, he inquired, “What’s on your mind?”

Though expecting Joseph to blow his top, Christopher was taken aback by its intensity. Stepping back, he explained, “Zacharias himself, with Mrs. Kins‘ approval.”
