Her eyes lit up. Just as she was about to pick it up, a pair of big hands with clear joints stretched past her and snatched it away.

Molly looked up in shock. "Why did you take it? Give it back to me!!!

Joseph's voice did not change in the slightest, but it did not allow any room for argument. "I'll treat her wound myself."

After that, he went upstairs with the first aid kit.

Molly stood there and thought about it. Her hands felt so useless. All she knew was how to carry things and beat people up. It seemed that she really did not know how to treat wounds. Fine, then. She would let him do it.

Molly rolled her eyes and turned to the kitchen.

She had heard from Madam Dahlia that injured people needed to eat nutritious food to recover.

In that case, she would go to the kitchen and bake-no, boil some

soup.

In the bedroom..

The light gave the room a sprinkle of warmth

Lucille lay on the bed. She was so sleepy that she didn't want to move

When she heard footsteps at the door, Lucille lazily mumbled, "I'll leave it to you, Molly."

Ther

person behind her did not respond.

The bandage on Lucille's left arm was removed. A cotton swab was used to gently wipe away the blood that seeped out from the edge of her wound. The person's movements were very soft and gentle,

The bedroom was so quiet that there was only the sound of the two of them breathing.

Lucille buried her face in the clean blanket. She blinked in suspicion.

What was going on? Why was Molly, who was usually talkative, not saying a word? Lucille turned her head and her pupils dilated when she saw the person beside her.

You Like Me

Uuder the dim yellow light, the man's shining eyes were as deep as the sea, with a fatal temptation that could suck people in

"-J-Joseph?"

Lucille almost bit her tongue.

300

Her reaction was too big. She looked like a frightened cat, and her beautiful eyes were wide open

Joseph leaned over to get closer, and a low laugh rumbled from his throat. He said, "Bobo, I heard that when someone looks at the person they like, their pupils will dilate. Since you're looking at me like that, does that mean you like me?"! The moment he got closer, she caught a whiff of the smell of medicine

The cold and overbearing aura on Joseph's body was all around her. He surrounded her little by little in an aggressive manner

Lucille felt her heart skip a beat. She retreated and grumpily retorted, "If that's the case, then there are tons of people who like me

Joseph raised an eyebrow. "Hm?"

His response wasn't much, but there was a sense of danger in it.

Lucille simply sat up and prepared to talk to Joseph. Since they were under the same root, they should keep a distance from each other. Otherwise, what was the agreement for? Was it just for decoration? However, the moment she sat up, she felt a chill in front of her.

Lucille frowned and lowered her head subconsciously. She suddenly remembered that Molly had torn her clothes off to check her injuries.

Just now, she was lying on the bed, so none of it was visible. Now, as soon as she sat up, she was in full view.

With a buzz, Lucille's mind went blank.

She reacted and immediately pulled the blanket to cover herself.

Was it too late for her to play dead?

Lucille covered her face, but her exposed ears were so red that they looked like they were about to bleed.

Joseph's eyes darkened and his Adam's apple bobbed slightly. However, in order to prevent the embarrassed Lucille from getting angry, he pretended as

if he hadn't seen anything and took out a few more cotton swabs from the first-aid it to treat her wound

Lucille tried to struggle but was scolded by him.

"You're bleeding again, and you still dare to move?"

Lucille went silent. She stopped struggling and only hoped that he could finish treating her as soon as possible so she could escape.

With her being forced to cooperate, he applied medicine to the wound and wrapped it with bandages.

Joseph retracted his hand and poked Lucille's forehead through the blanket. He announced with an overbearing tone, "From now on, I'll apply ointment to your wound every day."

He was going to do it again?

Lucille tore off the blanket covering her face and retorted, "I have the final say when it comes to medical skills. There's no need to do that for such a minor injury."

"Oh? How did you get hurt, then?" "Joseph's gaze landed on Lucille's left arm. Indeed, the scratch wasn't that serious, but the wound stood out like a sore thumb on her fair and delicate skin. Lucille casually lied. "I accidentally fell"

Joseph didn't pry, but Lucille panicked at the sight of his deep eyes.

Previously, when she had snuck into the Lindsay family's home, it didn't matter what kind of doubts or questions she faced. She could still calmly display her acting skills.

However, in front of Joseph, the pressure was too strong and overwhelming. She even Lucille simply lowered her gaze to avoid looking him in the eye. felt guilty ab

guilty about lying, as if he could see through her with a glance.

Joseph had packed up the first-aid kid and casually questioned, "Theard from Molly that you ran away from home because you were mad at me."

She could not answer that question.

Lucille paused, just as she was about to bring it up, she heard Joseph stating, "That document in the study was an investigation from when we first met Lucille was stunned. So, was he trying to explain it to her?

Lucille looked away and decided to play dumb. "I don't understand what you're talking about."

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. You just need to remember one thing"

Take Me With You

The next second, she heard the man's deep and seductive voice flowing into her ears word by word

"Bobo, next time you run away from home, remember to take me with you."

That was what he said

It was like a firework exploding in the dark night sky; like a seed buried in the earth suddenly sprouting; like a layer of ripples forming on a calm lake

Lucille sat on the bed for a long time before she came to her senses.

Joseph had left the room. He had taken the first-aid kit away to fulfill his promise of treating her wound every day.

Lucile rubbed her temples.

Not long after, the tightly shut door was pushed open again.

The person who came in this time was Molly. The little girl had a silly smile on her face, and she was a little proad. As she walked over, she said, "Bobo, I made you some nourishing soup!TM Was it really soup?

Lucille's eyelids twitched. Although the bowl in front of

had. Har face was totally lifeless

She desperately wanted someone to save her.

was steaming hot, the soup was so thick that she couldn't see what kind of ingredients it

Of course, Lucille didn't drink it in the end. She coaxed Molly to have a taste first

After tasting it, Molly burst into tears.

She rushed back to the kitchen downstairs with the bowl of soup in her hand. She ran straight into Madam Dahlia's arms, who had run out to see what was going on after hearing the commotion, While sebbing, she cried, "It's my fault, Madam Dahlia I'll never insult your cooking again."

Hearing this, Madam Dahlia immediately felt both frustrated and amused.

The next day.....

Lucille got up early, When Madam Dahlia saw her, she happily greeted her and said, "You're finally back, Miss Jules! Where have you been for the past half a month? Why didn't you call home? It's not safe for a girl to go out alone."

"It's okay. I'm back now, aren't 1 Lucille replied.

"Then Miss Jules, you and Mr. Joseph.. Madam Dahlia cautiously asked, "Have you reconciled?"

Lucille noticed that when Madam Dahlia asked this question, the other servants also pricked up their ears and listened quietly as if they wanted to know how things between her and Joseph were going

tbefore, Lucille's face flushed and she

e replied, "Yes, we've made up.

Recalling the way he had telon the initiative to explain things the Hearing this, Madam Dahlia immediately breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good. You don't know this, Miss Jules, but two days ago, Madam Collins heard that you had a quarrel with Mr. Joseph and ran away from home, so she came to the Jules Residence in person. She was so anxious that she almost called the police to look for you"

She added, "It wasn't just Madam Collins. Even Mr. Yoshua was on edge. He couldn't get through to you on the phone, so he was very anxious."

Hearing that, Lucille rubbed the space between her eyebrows. She had indeed spent a long time on this mission, and during this period of time, she had made it so that only Benjamin and Hugo could contact her. She had no time to be distracted by other things. Either way, she was already back, so she decided to explain things slowly.

Otherwise, she would have felt very guilty if Joseph thought he was the reason why she had left home.

"1 know, Madam Dahlia, I won't be so impulsive in the future."

The way she admitted her mistake showed her good attitude. After having a few mouthfuls of brealdast, she wiped her mouth and asked, "By the way, Madam Dahlia Where is my Yoshua staying right now?"

Some time ago, Yoshua had moved out. She heard that he bought a house somewhere else and wasn't staying at the Jules Residence anymore. She was in a burry to finish her task, so she didn't know the specific address. Madan Dahlia answered, "No. 99 Champs Road"

"okay."

Lucille drow out of the door and went straight to Yoshua's address.

far away. It only took her ten minutes to get there.

Take Me With You

She pressed the doorbell. Soon, footsteps could be heard. Unfortunately, the person who answered the door was not Yoshua.
