Chapter 292 His Suspicion Was Even Greater
Joseph was concerned about Zacharias‘ condition. Upon hearing Zacharias‘ voice, he immediately entered the room.
“Zacharias, how are you feeling?”
Zacharias nodded and replied, “Much better, thanks to Angela. Otherwise, I would still be feeling uncomfortable.”
“Thanks to her? Did you not hear her attitude toward Mom?”
Just the memory of Angela’s demeanor before she left made Joseph feel upset.
Angela’s criticism made him feel embarrassed.
Upon hearing Joseph’s words, Zacharias coughed before gently saying, “Joseph, don’t blame Angela. Mom really didn’t treat her well before.”
Recalling those chaotic dreams, Zacharias felt even more bitter.
Seeing Zacharias‘ pale face, Joseph quickly stepped forward to pat his back. “Zacharias, don’t dwell on unhappy things. Taking care of your health is the most important thing.”
“I know.” Zacharias nodded, still holding Joseph’s hand with some concern. “Joseph, try not to have too many biases against Angela.”
Joseph felt that Zacharias was not in his right mind now. However, seeing his poor complexion, he refrained from saying anything harsh, simply agreeing perfunctorily.
After that, he couldn’t help but defend himself.
“I don’t harbor any biases against her. She’s just not likable. I simply asked her to go see Mom, not to treat her. And she acted so heartless and cold. She’s really ungrateful.”

Zacharias believed that despite Angela’s tough exterior, she was actually soft–hearted, just like when she compromised to save him.
He could sense her genuine concern for his well–being, which led to his change in attitude toward her.

“When has Angela ever listened to me? Will being kind to her make a difference?” Joseph was feeling irritated.
He already disliked Angela’s condescending attitude, and hearing Zacharias defend her only fueled his anger.
“Well, then at least be a bit nicer to Angela for my sake. She saved my life, after all,” Zacharias advised helplessly.
“She saved you with conditions! Fanny is still suffering outside!”
At the mention of Fanny, Zacharias lowered his head, gazed at his pale fingers, and fell silent.
Joseph said, “Forget it. Don’t be concerned about these matters. Rest well and prioritize your health.”
He worried that Fanny might be sick since she hadn’t contacted him all day and hadn’t visited Scarlet in the hospital.
She had always had poor health, and he didn’t want her to jeopardize it due to their mother’s situation.
Zacharias watched Joseph depart, sighed, and said nothing mo
