Chapter 802
Joseph was very worried and said, "You call an ambulance to take Megan to the hospital. I'll be right over."
After hanging up, Joseph slammed on the brakes and quickly brought Cassie to the entrance of Willow Creek Estates and uttered, "Tonight, let Sophia stay with you; I'll come to pick her up tomorrow morning."
At this moment, Sophia was already asleep in Cassie's arms.
Cassie looked at Sophia's clean and sweet face, her heart aching.
Just a moment ago, Sophia was saying that Joseph was actually not bad, wanting her to reconcile with Joseph. But in the blink of an eye, Joseph abandoned her and went to find another woman without hesitation.
"Do you think Sophia is so heavy that I can carry her from the gate to the upstairs by myself?" Cassie chuckled sarcastically.
Without hesitation, Joseph said, "Then I'll carry Sophia upstairs."
"Joseph, why are you suddenly in such a hurry to leave, not even caring about Sophia? Is it because something happened to Megan?" Cassie suddenly looked at Joseph. In fact, when Joseph was on the phone earlier, Cassie had overheard some of the conversation.
Joseph wanted to explain. He knew he should lie. But facing Cassie's bright black eyes, he couldn't bring himself to lie. After a while, he had to explain, "There was a power outage over at the villa. Megan might have fallen down the stairs because she didn't see."
"Has someone called an ambulance to take Megan to the hospital?" Cassie asked sharply.
"Athena called the hospital..."
"Then why are you so hurry to go over there? Are you a doctor? Or are you Megan's boyfriend? Husband?" Each of Cassie's words made Joseph's expression unnatural.
"Megan... Megan is seriously injured," After a long pause, Joseph said with difficulty.
Cassie brushed aside a strand of hair from her ear and smiled. "Joseph, you've said so much; but in fact, you're worried. And at the same time, you think taking care of Megan is your responsibility. You have feelings for Megan, whether it's familial, romantic, or guilt. You instinctively and subconsciously put Megan first."
"Cassie, you've misunderstood." Joseph's hand on the steering wheel stiffened for a moment.
"Since there are people around Megan, and you've told me that you can't marry her again. Is it necessary for you to rush over like this?" Cassie smiled bitterly. "Joseph, if you're always going to be like this, then I advise you not to come find me again. You should just be with Megan. It's unfair to me."
"I'm just going to take a look. You're overthinking it." Joseph furrowed his brows. "I'm sure I like you now."
"You like me, but as soon as something happens to Megan, you'll rush over first. In the future, whether Megan is sick or has something going on at home, will you always care for her?" Cassie snorted.
Cassie anticipated that Megan would start acting and also thought that Megan would use Cassie's sympathy.
A power outage and falling down the stairs. It was all a plan to get Joseph to go over.
But Cassie wouldn't let Megan's plan succeed.
Tonight, Cassie wouldn't let Joseph go.
"Joseph, if you feel guilty towards Megan, then take responsibility to the end. Even if Megan has wronged you, you've endured it all along. You can't keep wanting my love on one hand and taking care of Megan on the other. If you continue like this, I will look down on you," Cassie uttered.
Cassie raised her slender neck high, like a proud swan, her eyes filled with determination, and then continued. "You need to understand. If you keep holding on, silently taking care of Megan from behind, Megan will think she has a chance. Even if other men like Megan, they won't be able to get close to her or pursue her. You can't prevent other men from marrying her just because you're not marrying her, right?"
Joseph said, "That's not the case, I... I also hope Megan finds happiness now."
"That's it. Actually, you don't need to feel so guilty. You and Megan were just dating; after all, you didn't make Megan have an abortion or go through childbirth. You even helped Nathan several times to avoid prison, and you've always protected the Zenith family. Why didn't it end in marriage in the end? I think you should know the answer very well," Cassie stated.
