Chapter 640 Expose the truth
"After listening to his explanation, Lisa fell silent immediately.
Susan also remained silent.
Joe looked at them and asked, ""What do you think?""
Lisa felt conflicted, ran her fingers through her hair, and said, ""I don't know! I really don't know what to do! This situation is so complicated.""
Susan, calmer than her, thought for a moment and said, ""Actually, I think Billy's words make some sense. Although this is cruel to Kaleb! But if we wait until he's no longer useful and then Patricia kicks him out, telling him the truth then, he might not be able to handle it, and he might even blame you for not telling him earlier. Of course, Patricia may not necessarily do that! But we only have a superficial acquaintance with Patricia and don't really know what kind of person she is. None of us knows how things will unfold. Instead of getting involved in their family affairs, let's just tell him what we know and not interfere with how he handles it!""
""No matter whether he forgives Patricia or not, let's not express any opinions,"" Joe said.
Billy raised his hand and said, ""I agree! This matter is not related to us . It only became so complicated because I accidentally overheard their conversation. I think we shouldn't meddle too much in Kaleb's family affairs. So, after telling Kaleb the truth, let's not get involved in this matter anymore.""
After hearing both of them say this, Joe sighed helplessly and finally nodded. ""You're right! I'll go find Charles tomorrow and tell him the truth. This is his private matter, and if I keep it from him, he will definitely blame me in the future.""
Billy patted his shoulder and asked, ""Do you want me to go with you?""
Joe shook his head. ""No need! It's better for friends to talk, you staying wouldn't be appropriate.""
Billy smiled. ""Alright! But don't back out at the last minute! Just remember, this matter has nothing to do with us, and we shouldn't meddle in other people's affairs.""
Joe nodded solemnly. ""Don't worry, I'm at an age where I know my limits.""
All night, Joe pondered how to approach Kaleb about it.
The next day, when he arrived at Kaleb's house with a nervous heart, he saw Kaleb and Patricia preparing medicine while chatting happily.
Patricia picked up a pill and carefully sniffed it under her nose.
Kaleb said, ""This medicine has a bitter smell. If you're afraid you won't remember, you can smell it. Each medicine has its own smell and taste.""
Patricia took a pill, put it in her mouth, and tasted it carefully.
Kaleb put the rest of the pills into a steaming medicine jar.
Patricia nodded with a smile. ""I remember, it has a bitter smell and taste. I got it.""
Kaleb nodded in satisfaction. ""You are i ndeed my daughter. You are t ruly talented learn so quickly! I will gradually teach you everything I know in the future.""
Patricia smiled happily. ""I will study hard and not disappoint your expectations.""
Joe watched them interact from a distance, feeling very conflicted.
Kaleb was really good to Patricia.
He was eager to pass on all his knowledge to her.
But was Patricia truly sincere to him? Was it pure manipulation, or did she have a hint of conscience when she smiled at Charles from the heart?
Seeing that they still hadn't noticed him, Joe deliberately cleared his throat twice to get their attention.
Sure enough, upon hearing the sound, both Kaleb and Patricia turned their gaze towards him.
Seeing him, Kaleb was surprised. ""How did you sneak in here? You were so quiet that you almost scared me .""
Joe glanced at him. ""How is it quiet? The butler informed you that I was coming, you were just too focused and didn't pay attention.""
""Really?"" Kaleb thought carefully.
The butler did seem to have come just now.
Seemed to have said something to him too.
But at that time, he was too focused on Patricia, so he casually replied, ""You handle it yourself.""
Now it seemed that the butler had come to inform him that Joe had arrived.
He had c ompletely forgotten.
Joe rolled his eyes. ""Now all you have in your eyes and heart is your daughter, of course you don't remember! Decades of brotherly love, not as important as a newly established relationship with your daughter.""
Kaleb wasn't angry at all, instead, he smiled and said, ""That's right, she has my blood, you don't. Who's closer to whom, don't you know in your heart? You're looking for trouble yourself.""
The phrase ""she has my blood"" left Joe speechless for a moment.
The smile on his face faded little by little.
""Charles, I came today, actually have something to discuss with you,"" Joe said.
Kaleb continued to search for medicine casually. ""Go ahead, I'm listening!""
Feeling awkward, Joe said, ""Let's talk in the study.""
Kaleb waved his hand indifferently. ""There's no one else here, just say it here! I still have to prepare medicine for Martin, no time to go to the study.""
Joe fell silent.
Seeing him not speaking, Kaleb didn't mind either and put the last type of medicine into the jar.
Joe was completely defeated by him. ""I'll wait for you in the study, come in after you're done.""
Turning around and heading towards the villa, after taking a few steps, he remembered something and couldn't help but turn back to remind, ""Don't forget, I'm waiting for you in the study!""
He was afraid that Kaleb would forget him just like he forgot the butler's words, leaving him waiting in the study in vain.
""Alright, got it!"" Kaleb's eyes were fixed on the medicine jar, waving impatiently.
Joe sighed inwardly and left for good.
Patricia also didn't want Joe to wait too long because of her, so she said, ""I'm here! You go talk to Joe in the study first!""
Kaleb didn't mind. ""It's okay, let him wait a bit! I'll sort out the medicine first. Nothing is more important than Martin.""
Patricia was touched and a bit teary-eyed. "" I'm here watching, everything will be fine! I'll keep an eye on the time for taking the medicine!""
Kaleb paused for a moment, looked at her. ""You're okay with that ?""
Patricia nodded. ""Martin is my husband, I definitely don't want anything to happen to him. If there's uncertainty, I won't do it. So, I really can handle it! You go talk to Joe, don't let him wait.""
Kaleb naturally believed in Patricia's abilities.
Feeling even more reassured after hearing her words, he habitually wiped his hands on his apron. ""Alright, I'll go upstairs to see what he wants, you watch the fire.""
""Okay! You go!""
Kaleb took one last look at the medicine jar and turned back towards the villa."
