Chapter 609 What Makes You Think that I&##x27;ll Help You

Joseph put down the tablet in his hand and walked to the window slowly.

From this place on the second floor, he saw a slim figure which was leaning against the black door.

She could only stand against the wall as she had no umbrella. Her hands were trembling because of
cold.

"How long has she been there?"

"She's been there for almost three hours."

It was quite warm in the room. The man only wore a black vest with rhombus patterns over a light-
colored shirt. He looked out of the window indifferently. The slim figure which was against the wall was
going down.

Joseph frowned slightly. The butler who was beside him reminded again, "Sir, she is about to faint."

"Bring her in."

Kathy walked in, supported by the butler. She was clear-headed even when she was weak.

Kathy got dirty marks on the soft white carpet in the living room with her muddy shoes.

Kathy was a little nervous and whispered, "Is he up yet?"

The butler replied politely, "Ms Kathy, please take a seat first. Mr Joseph will be here soon."

This should be Joseph's villa. It was simple but exquisite and luxurious.

Kathy did not have the mood to look around. She sat down on the sofa and stared at her feet.



Kathy had no idea how long she had been waiting for till she heard footsteps came from far to near.
Her fingers clenched her wet clothes and raised her head with courage.

Joseph just stood an arm's length away from her with his arms crossed in front of his chest. He looked
down at her condescendingly and asked coldly, "What brings Ms Kathy here?"

Taking a deep breath, Kathy tried to act as a motionless puppet, which couldn't think and could only
talk.

She said quietly, "Professor Joseph, can you help me back to Country F as soon as possible?"

Joseph raised his eyebrows and looked at Kathy's pale face. His voice was still cold, "Haven't you
watched the news?"

"I know." Kathy looked up at him and bit her lips. She looked at him with a pleading look, "That's why I
come to ask for your help."

"Why are you so anxious to get back to Country F?" Joseph seemed patient and he took a seat
elegantly beside Kathy.

"My mother is sick."

"What makes you think that I will help you?" Joseph did not look at her anymore.

Kathy lowered her eyes and her thin lips curled up mockingly.

Indeed, why would she assume that Joseph would help her.

Joseph already had another girl and only Kathy could not forget about him.

Joseph was never alone and Kathy was just his ex-girlfriend.



"I get it." After a while, Kathy stood up and was about to leave.

Kathy had given up her crazy idea of seeking help from Joseph. She shouldn't have any expectations
of him anymore.

She shouldn't have such a request.

However, Kathy could not stand steadily when stood up and she was about to fall into Joseph's arms--

The moment Joseph touched Kathy's skin, he held her tightly because he sensed her unusual hot
temperature. Joseph's voice was gentle and elegant as usual, but his tone carried a hint of disgust,
"When was the last time you took a shower?"

Kathy staggered and tried to push Joseph away. The butler just happened to hand over Joseph's
phone, "Mr Joseph, it's Miss Marshall."

Joseph frowned slightly and only answered the call till he walked to the bedside.

This call took him quite some time. Kathy had given up her idea of seeking help.

Kathy walked around the coffee table quietly and walked towards the door.

It was a mistake to come here from the very beginning. It would be better to wait at the airport if she
would have known this.

However, when Kathy walked to the door, Joseph hung up the phone. He raised his eyebrows and put
one hand in his pocket. He walked to her back quickly and said slowly, "Are you leaving? I can help if
you need."

Kathy stopped when she heard his words.

When looking at Joseph's dark eyes, Kathy was a little scared.



She was stunned when she heard what Joseph said next.

"Kathy, I miss you."

Kathy fainted and fell into Joseph's arms after she heard this.

It was several hours later when she woke up again. Kathy was a little bit confused in this unfamiliar
room. But she knew Joseph's taste well and his smell filled the air.

She knew that it was Joseph's room even though he wasn't around.

The bedroom was quiet, and Kathy was sleepy. But she couldn't sleep anymore, as she had to get
back.

However, she finally fell into sleep again. A while later, a cold hand pressed on her forehead. Kathy
shuddered and tried to open her eyes.

But she was so tired that couldn't even open her eyes. That was it. She murmured to herself. Would it
be possible that the three-year experience was just a dream when she woke up and Joseph was still
there by her side?

At this moment, the man bent down and looked at Kathy's pale and thin face attentively. He put his
hand on her forehead and moved his hand down slightly till reached her cherry lips.

However, he quickly stopped and withdrew his hand.

Standing upright, Joseph did not show any emotion and left the room quickly.

When Kathy woke up again, she was still in this room and found a large glass of warm water, a box of
medicine, and a thermometer on the bedside table.



Kathy got up hurriedly and found her phone.

There were many missed calls, which were all from her housekeeper.

"Ms Kathy, Mr Maurice asked me to inform you that your mother probably will have to have a surgery..."

Kathy did not know how she ended this call. Her stomach was very uncomfortable and her mood was
even worse.

At this moment, someone opened the door and walked in. It was the old man who opened the door for
her. "Ms Kathy, have you taken your medicine?"

She sat down by the bed and lowered her head. Her long hair tied up and she looked like a mess.
Kathy did not reply but asked, "Where's Joseph?"

"Mr Joseph is in the living room."

The old man replied politely, "Ms Kathy, please take your medicine and then you can go find him."

Behind this villa were small hills, on which stood buildings.

The rain had stopped now, and sunlight at the sunset reminded on Roman pillars and cast long
shadows.

The thick clouds caused by volcanic ash looked like lead. Joseph stood at the highest place and looked
down at this magnificent lake view.

Suddenly, he heard footsteps from his back, but he did not turn around, and focused on the scenery till
he sensed that familiar smell.

"Mr Joseph." Kathy called him calmly and indifferently.



What Joseph said before she fainted still echoed in Kathy's mind.

"Kathy, I miss you."

And she wondered, "So, what does he want from me?"

"All airports in Europe are closed. I will arrange one for you as soon as any flight is ready to Country F."
Joseph said in a deep voice without even turning his head.

Kathy was surprised. She didn't expect that Joseph would ... help her.

For a time, Kathy felt bitter, sad and mostly lost.
