That day, it was already the next morning when Isabella arrived home. She pushed open the door, but there was no sign of Joseph in the room
Isabella knew that Joseph had been with Abigail all night.
The photo that was sent to her last night was on her mobile interlace
In the photo, Joseph held a bowl of porridge and was blowing it carefully, with a gentle and loving expression in his eyes.
Although Joseph often showed his love for Isabella, she still saw this expression on Joseph’s face for the first time.
After Abigail posted the photo, a message followed immediately.
“It seems like your fiancé also likes me.”
The mobile phone screen automatically turned off, and Isabella told herself not to mind
There came the sound of the door closing, followed immediately by a pair of hands tightly embracing Isabella from behind.
Joseph’s voice sounded slightly weary in Isabella’s ear. “Isa, Abigail said she missed you a lot.
“Shall we go and see her later to see if she is okay?”
Isabella turned around and saw Joseph, who was usually dressed impeccably, with a hint of stubble on his chin and even dark circles under his eyes. A
strong sense of exhaustion from him overwhelmed her.
It seemed that Joseph took care of Abigail all night yesterday. He was truly a devoted and kind person.
Joseph smiled and said gently, “I know you don’t like Abigail 1 will marry you soon, and you will leave the Hall family immediately.”
“Isa, as long as I’m here, I won’t let you go back to the Hall family. This might be one of the last few times you see Abigail”
Isabella’s mouth twitched with a bitter smile at the words. If she had heard these words before she knew the truth, she might have been moved to tears and believed that Joseph loved her deeply.
But Joseph would marry her to become a knight who would protect Abigail for a lifetime. Marrying her and bringing her back home was also to prevent Abigail from being bullied
Isabella looked up, and her gaze collided with those familiar eyes, but she didn’t see even a hint of guilt in them from looking at Joseph.
She nodded, and she was about to leave. Indeed, they would never see each other again in the future, so it wouldn’t hurt to say goodbye one more time. Knowing that the relationship between Isabella and her parents was not good, Joseph chose a time when they were not present…
But he didn’t expect that trouble would still arise.
Isabella and Joseph had just arrived in the ward to visit Abigail. A scream came from the corridor.
Someone shouted that there was a murder.
Just as Isabella didn’t react, the door was slammed open.
Isabella stood in a posation near the window when a strong m
man rushed in, holding a knife in his hand.
Jusaph stood in the middle of them, while the burly man ran towards Isabella with a knife in his hand. The immense tright caused Isabella to freeze for a

Joseph was holding Abigail tightly in his arms.
The troublemaker seemed to realize it and abruptly dropped the life before rushing out of the ward.
The aide fell to the ground with a crisp sound Joseph snapped back to reality and grabbed Abigail’s arm, thoroughly checking her from head to toe before finally feeling relieved
On the other side, warm blood fell onto Isabella’s Lace, and the fresh blood flowed down her an
