At the thought of what it would take to get her to agree, Joseph couldn’t help but furrow hist brow.
Then, as if ignoring Angela’s sarcasm, he calmly set down the fruit and gave a gentle smile. “Angela, we’re still family, and I’m still your brother. You don’t have to be so hostile.”
“Is it me being hostile, or is it you guys?” She raised her eyebrows lightly. “You’re here, aren’t you, for Samuel? Joseph, do you think I’m easy to push around? Do you think if you come a few more times, I’ll cave in?”
Joseph shook his head calmly. “Angela, I’m not here because of Samuel. It’s about Zacharias.”
When Zacharias was mentioned, Angela didn’t feel as upset.
She casually asked, “Oh, is he okay? He collapsed here the other day, scared me. Just to make it clear beforehand, don’t falsely accuse me of saying anything offensive.”
Joseph nodded, his demeanor becoming even softer. “I understand. Zacharias‘ situation is not good. It was your care before that gradually improved his condition. We didn’t recognize your kindness, so… I wanted to ask, could you help him again?”
Hearing him finally admit his past mistakes, Angela felt a twinge of bitterness in her heart.
But only a little because she didn’t care about these things anymore.
A faint smile curled on her lips, and she firmly rejected, with a hint of irony. “Of course not.”
She certainly wasn’t a saint.
Joseph’s expression remained unchanged, as if he knew she would respond in this
way.
He glanced around, then suddenly smiled warmly and said, “Well, could you please give me some guidance? You don’t have to get directly involved, just point me in the right direction, can you do that?”
Angela didn’t answer,
Joseph’s eyes darkened slightly, but his demeanor remained gentle as ever. “Regardless, we’re still siblings. To be honest, Zacharias has spoken up for you several times before. He feels it was our fault. We shouldn’t have treated you that way. He thinks we owe you an apology. 1 can understand if you don’t forgive me for what happened with Samuel, but as for Zacharias” situation, I hope you can lend a hand.”

Angela lowered her eyes, her eyelashes trembling.
She hadn’t expected that what Zacharias had said that day wasn’t an act but genuine.
Yet, as she had said that day, the damage was done, so what was the point of bringing it up
now?
Angela let out a cold snort. “The only reason I agreed to meet with you was to tell you one thing. The matters of the Kins Family have nothing to do with me, so you’d better not come looking for me again. Samuel just hurt me like this, and now you want me to help Zacharias? Do you really think I’m that easy to bully?”
Joseph didn’t show any anger upon hearing this. He continued to speak gently, “Angela, don’t let your pride lead you to regret.”
“Ridiculous.” Angela sneered coldly. “I’d regret not helping the Kins Family? Please, get your facts straight. I’ve moved on.”
Joseph sighed softly. “What must be done to save him?”
Angela became impatient and frowned. “Don’t come to me. I don’t have the skills to save anyone. Instead of wasting time here, you’d better think of another solution.”
Despite Angela’s words, Joseph persisted, “I acknowledge our wrongdoings. But this is a matter of life and death. Zacharias is truly in danger, and time is of the essence. He was on the brink of death before, but your presence gave him hope. If you don’t help now, he will die.”
But what did this have to do with her? When she sincerely reached out, how did they repay. her?
Angela found it absurd, but she seemed to be stubbornly making a request. “I can consider saving Zacharias. However, you need to have Scarlet come and ask me.”
Joseph was taken aback. “Mom?”
He let out a small sigh and said, “She came last time, but you…”
“So, what does it mean to plead?” She found it somewhat amusing. “With her attitude last time, how could I possibly agree?”
Angela did not make a definitive statement. When the time came, whether to save him or not, would depend on how the Kin Family chose.
Joseph knew that Angela harbored deep resentment, but it was also because of her longing

for family and affection in the past that she acted this way.
He didn’t hesitate before nodding in agreement.
If Angela could set aside her pride and save Zacharias, Scarlet should agree.
But before seeking help, he had to inform Scarlet that she needed to change her condescending attitude; otherwise, everything would be in vain.

Shortly after Joseph left. Jonathan arrived with the heartwarming soup made by May.
Angela finished it all, showing appreciation.
Of course. Jonathan couldn’t conceal the fact that Joseph had been there. When he inquired about it. Angela obediently responded, “I’m not trying to make things difficult for them. It’s just that some things haven’t happened to them personally, so they’ll never understand the pain.”
Jonathan nodded.
Curious, Angela asked, “Jonathan, aren’t you going to inquire why I want Scarlet to do something for me?”
He inquired, “What do you wish to do?”
His tone was a bit too serious, and it lacked a hint of playfulness.
Angela playfully blinked. “It’s a secret for now.”
Jonathan indulgently smiled. “Alright.”
Whatever she liked was fine with him; after all, he would support her no matter what.
Despite Angela’s current happiness, she still harbored deep resentment towards her family, and the wounds hadn’t completely healed. If tormenting her family could provide her with some relief, he was more than willing to do so.
The two conversed aimlessly, and before they realized it, it was almost ten o’clock at night.
Angela was surprised. “Aren’t you going back yet? You should rest early, considering how busy you are with work.”
Jonathan brought out the folding bed from the room. “I’ll stay with you tonight.”
It was only then that she noticed Simon had left at some point.

Actually, she was perfectly capable of being alone at night and didn’t need someone to accompany her. Previously, Simon and Oliver had slept on the couch in the living room, but of course, Jonathan was different.
Observing the small folding bed, it was evident it could not accommodate the tall Jonathan.
Feeling a bit apologetic, Angela gestured toward her own bed. “Why don’t we share the bed?”
Her voice was gentle and slightly sweet, causing her to feel a bit embarrassed as she listened.
Although they had shared a bed before, most of the time it was Jonathan who initiated it, and she had to reluctantly accept. Now, it seemed like she was the one suggesting it. However, she was merely being courteous.
But Jonathan did not hesitate at all and responded with an ‘okay.”
There was a hint of laughter in his tone, as if he was about to burst out laughing.
The hospital bed was not like home. Angela could sleep alone just fine, but with Jonathan squeezed in, it felt cramped.
He simply pulled her into his arms, and his deep voice sounded in her ears. “Goodnight, let’s sleep.”
