Rebirth Reclaiming Her Self by Fleur Delacour

Chapter 404 Can We Talk?

Joseph felt a sense of unease as Scarlet abruptly grabbed him and spoke frantically.

He was originally anxious for a while when a rush of realization hit him. He recalled Christopher mentioning yesterday that Zacharias‘ match had been arranged, and Scarlet seemed to have agreed, too.

In the midst of his confusion and Scarlet’s urgency, he had completely forgotten it. What’s going on? Something seems off.

Scarlet continued to be restless, and her voice grew increasingly desperate. “Bring that wretched Angela here! If something happens to Zacharias, let her make amends with her life!”

Her voice had become raspy, and her eyes were bloodshot red.

“Mom!” Joseph shouted suddenly as if trying to snap her out of it.

He gripped her arms tightly and stared into her somewhat dazed eyes. “Mom, Christopher said you agreed to the match arrangement before. Don’t you remember?”

He wanted to confirm the truth of Christopher’s words.

The rush back here, on top of Scarlet’s incessant questioning, caused his thoughts to go in various directions. His mind went blank, and he somehow forgot Christopher’s words.

Scarlet remained bewildered as if stuck in a trance. “I don’t know!”

She shook her head incessantly, and her already disheveled hair resembled a mop.

Seeing her complexion turn paler by the second, he felt both worried and anxious. He knew pressing her for answers now wouldn’t get him anywhere. “Mom, please try to calm down,” he urged. “Please, just try to relax.”

But Scarlet couldn’t calm down at all.

She clung tightly to his arm; her face was drained of colors, and her body trembled uncontrollably. Still, she stubbornly gritted her teeth and insisted, “You’re not allowed to use Zacharias‘ kidney!”

Upon hearing this, he immediately made a promise. “Mom, I promise, even if the match is successful, I won’t let him donate.”

At his pledge, she suddenly passed out.
