Isabella saw Joseph, who was standing beside her with a heavy expression, thought for a moment. She shook her head and said, “I have something to do today. Since Grandpa is fine, I will take my leave first.”

Angelina nodded and said to Joseph, “Joseph, what are you waiting for? Send Isabella back!”

Joseph came back to his senses and hugged Isabella, “Let’s go, Isabella.”

Isabella shook him off and said, “I think you should go and check Ms. Stella. She is sick and doesn’t look good just now...”

Joseph was silent for a moment and answered, “She did show some symptoms of her disease, but she has to accept reality and I can’t take care of her forever.”

Isabella lowered her head.

“You didn’t eat breakfast, did you?”

Joseph looked at Isabella, who was driven to distraction. He hugged her gently and comforted her, “Were you scared by Stella’s action just now? She has been like this for a while. She was very emotional sometimes. Don’t be afraid. I’ll bring you to eat something nice.”

.....

Then he smiled and said, “Didn’t you say that as long as you eat delicious food, you will feel much better? Let’s go now. What do you want to eat? Name it. What do you want to know? Just ask me.”

Isabella reached out and gently pressed against Joseph’s chest.

Joseph was stunned.

“The reason Ms. Stella left you was that...”

Isabella bit her lips tightly, and her hands trembled.

“Why?”

Isabella closed her eyes and finally made up her mind. She said in a low voice, “It was because Kason slept with her by force.”

Joseph felt numb with shock.

“She had planned to find a man to deceive you and make you give up on her and make you stop contending with your families...”

Isabella tried to be calm, “But Kason took the opportunity and forced her to have sex with him, causing her much pain. Then, Kason sent you the video and deliberately provoked you...”

The words astounded Joseph. Joseph suddenly pressed down on Isabella’s shoulders and said in disbelief, “Isabella, who told you these things? How could it ...? No! It’s impossible! If Stella was forced by Kason, why didn’t she tell me? In the video, she...”

“Because Kason was ruthless and powerful, but you were young and impulsive...”

Isabella told Joseph everything that Stella had told her, “She was afraid that you would risk your life to fight with Kason. She was afraid that you would lose your life because of this ... She didn’t want anything to happen to you...”

Joseph’s face instantly paled.

“She felt that she was stained and was not worthy of you ... She...”

Before Isabella could finish speaking, she realized that Joseph was trembling violently, and his eyes turned red.

“Go and see her.”

As soon as Isabella finished speaking, Joseph turned around and quickly ran down the corridor.

Isabella looked at Joseph’s back from afar and shed tears.

Walking out of the municipal hospital, Isabella walked aimlessly.

She thought of Joseph’s sincere apology, a warm embrace, and comforting words just now, and she felt a sense of happiness. However, when she thought about how Joseph’s eyes turned red after knowing the truth, she was distressed.

That scene made her see an emotional and fragile Joseph.

She did feel conflicted when she chose to tell the truth about Stella.

After listening to Stella’s story on the ship that day, Isabella had not thought too much about it. She just felt sympathetic for Stella.

She also admired Stella’s free and easy manner in leaving Joseph.

However, Isabella did not expect that Stella was the one who had hung up the phone when she had called for help.

At that time, she had thought that Stella was a bad woman.

A scheming bad woman...

But when Isabella saw once beautiful and proud Stella on the screen crying and begging for forgiveness in the corridor and pulling her ankle in despair and begging her not to take Joseph away, she suddenly felt very sad.

Isabella thought, ‘From the perspective of love, Stella did nothing wrong.

‘Stella likes Joseph and has given Joseph everything she had and was treated by Kason like that. She experienced despair and heartbreak.

‘Now, she finally has the chance to return to Joseph’s arms. She wants to get his love again but found that Joseph no longer belongs to her.

‘She helped Joseph to become an excellent man, accompanied him through the most difficult days, but in the end, Joseph didn’t belong to her.

‘She must be unwilling to see this result.’

Isabella sighed and pondered.

Although Joseph denied that he still had feelings for Stella, Isabella knew Joseph was lying by his expression and actions.

Stella and Joseph couldn’t end up together because of that unspeakable secret.

Isabella thought, ‘Shall I be the one who breaks them up?’

Stella had committed suicide twice for Joseph. Besides, Stella was quite sensitive and insane now. If something happened to Stella...

Joseph would regret that. Isabella knew the secret and wouldn’t live in peace either.

The thing about Stella would be a thorn in her heart, stabbing her heart forever.

It was right for her to tell Joseph.

She should leave the decision to Joseph to make.

Only when Joseph was willing to choose her after knowing everything did Isabella know that Joseph had truly fallen in love with her.

But...

Isabella clutched her chest in thought, ‘What should I do if Joseph chooses Stella over me in the end?’

Isabella scratched her hair and smiled bitterly.

What else could she do?

Fortunately, she had only spent a month with Joseph. She wasn’t as close to Joseph as Stella did... So perhaps she would be much stronger than Stella in the future...

Tears flowed down her face as she walked along the bank of Peace City. She walked a long distance in a daze. It was not until she felt hungry that she realized it was noon.

She took out her phone to check the time and then found that Cedric had called her dozens of times.

She had turned her phone mute, so she didn’t receive the calls all this morning.

Cedric...

Isabella’s eyes dimmed.

She felt that she was unfair to Cedric.

Cedric had expressed his feelings for her and had been protecting her...

She had always thought that she was wavering between Joseph and Cedric. The reason she had resistance to Cedric’s love was that she wanted to regard Cedric as her brother, but what happened today...
