Serve No One This Life

Chapter 345 Did Angela Bully You? Upon exiting the ward, Angela was greeted by Jonathan and Joseph.

With Jonathan at her side, Joseph hesitated to step forward despite his concern.

Jonathan observed Angela's pallid complexion, feeling a pang of sympathy as he helped her to her feet. In return, Angela offered him a reassuring smile.

Joseph inquired, “How is Zac faring?” Angela glanced at him before responding. “You should have someone assess his mental state.” Subsequently, she took hold of Jonathan's hand and suggested, “Let's go.” Their lunch plans were thwarted by Joseph's interruption, depriving them not only of a meal but also of their chance to rest.

Although Joseph wanted to ask more questions, a stern look from Jonathan deterred him as he watched the pair walk away.

As they retreated, he suddenly remembered that Angela had not unblocked him.

However, his concern for Zacharias prompted him to cautiously check on his condition.

Jonathan assisted Angela into the car and inquired, “Are you feeling better?” Seeing her exhaustion, he expressed his concern and care for her.

Angela shook her head, replying, “I'll be fine after a short rest. Let's go grab a bite.” Seeing her acquiescence, Jonathan instructed Oliver to drive.

He drew her close and whispered, “You can take a nap; we'll order food and dine at home.” She nodded at the mention of returning home, leaning against Jonathan and drifting off to sleep.

Meanwhile, after Angela departed, Joseph checked on Zacharias before contacting Fanny.

At that moment, Fanny had just been escorted hby Yaxley and was elated to learn of their impending trip to Northland.

Despite feeling physically and mentally drained from her encounter with Yaxley, she agreed 1/4 to go to the hospital.

Upon arrival, Joseph was preoccupied, prompting her to visit Scarlet first.

Even after Scarlet’s transfer to Northland, May continued to care for her. Spotting Fanny, May exclaimed, “Oh, it's Miss Fanny!” Relieved, Fanny inquired, “How is my mom doing?” May sighed and replied, “It's only been a few days, so there hasn't been any change. | hope the doctors in Northland can help. It’s distressing to see your mother in this state. I'm sure you're worried, too.” Fanny nodded in agreement, stating, “Yes, | hope she’ll wake up soon.” May was about to say more when Fanny abruptly requested, “Ms. May, could you step out for a moment? I'd like to have a private conversation with my mother.” “About what?” May inquired, but upon receiving no response from Fanny, she simply shrugged and exited the room.

Alone by the bedside, Fanny took a seat. Tears welled up in her eyes as she pleaded, “Mom, please wake up soon. I'm going through so much right now.” After spending a few days in Northland, she cto realize that Mr. Leigh introduced by George was not genuinely concerned for her well-being but viewed her as a means to maintain connections with affluent individuals.

Though Dylan's intentions were not overt, she could sense his ulterior motives.

Fortunately, she crossed paths with Yaxley, sparing her from being coerced by Dylan into attending blind dates with other people.

Fanny's thoughts turned to Christopher as she reflected on blind dates.

Feeling conflicted, she decided to confide in Scarlet about Christopher and her predicament.

Christopher was portrayed as the deceitful individual who persisted in entangling himself with her despite betraying her.

And there were also mentions of Angela. However, most of the things related to Angela were not spoken of in a positive light..

As she cried and spoke, she didn’t notice Scarlet’s fingers moving slightly.

2/4 Just then, there was a knock on the room door, and she quickly wiped away her tears.

Joseph entered, and upon seeing Fanny crying so intensely, he immediately felt heartbroken.

“Fanny, what's wrong?” he asked.

Seeing Joseph, Fanny threw herself into his arms, sobbing.

She hadn't been suffering much these days, but once her emotions erupted, it was hard to contain. At that moment, she didn’t want to hold back.

Joseph quickly embraced her, comforting her and gently patting her to soothe her.

He felt sorry for her and wanted to ask why, but he knew he couldn't rush her.

After a while, when Fanny had cried herself out and leaned against Joseph’s chest, he finally asked, “What's wrong? Fanny, who hurt you?” Fanny whispered, “No one, Joseph.

“Why are you crying like this?” Joseph didn’t let go of his suspicions, speculating in his mind. whether it was caused by Angela.

Angela was also in Northland, so it would be easy for her to hurt their Fanny.

With this thought in mind, he asked, “Did Angela bully you?” Fanny was startled, still sobbing, but remained silent.

1 This only confirmed Joseph's suspicions.

“What did she do? Fanny, tell me. | will help you seek justice!” Joseph had completely forgotten about being scared to speak up when he saw Angela before, under the influence of his excessive protective instincts.

In the face of his overprotectiveness, all fear was thrown out of his mind.

“She...” Fanny hesitated, then abruptly stopped, changing the subject. “Joseph, let's not talk about her. I'll go check on Zac.” She couldn’t cup with a specific incident to tell him, so she chose to change the topic.

However, Joseph saw her behavior as pitiful, being bullied by Angela to the point where she dared not speak up.

3/4 He felt a deep hatred in his heart but didn’t press further, only determined to the pain Fanny suffered from Angela.

make up for Joseph took Fanny to see Zacharias, and before entering, he said, “Zac isn’t feeling well, so don’t stay long. Do you wantto go with you?” Fanny shook her head and said, “I'll go see him myself. You go ahead and do your work.” Joseph didn’t look too relaxed, but she didn’t insist on him staying. Moreover, she couldn’t shake off the feeling that Zacharias had been acting strangely toward her during their tin Riverdon..

She felt a little nervous about meeting Zacharias now.

And Joseph patted her head and went off to do his own thing.

Fanny took a deep breath before knocking on Zacharias’ door.

When Zacharias saw that it was Fanny who had come, he didn’t speak first.

“Zac, are you feeling better lately?” Fanny timidly approached, standing in front of his bed, looking at him and asking.

There was concern in her eyes, but when he looked back at her, she avoided his gaze.

“Yes, | am.” Zacharias said, “It’s all thanks to Angela for doing acupuncture for me; otherwise, I'd be in pain for a little longer.” The look on Fanny's face left Zacharias feeling torn between satisfaction and conflict. Fanny was their younger sister, after all, and had not done anything particularly outlandish. He shouldn’t be cold towards her.

When Fanny heard Zacharias mention Angela, her face stiffened slightly, but she agreed anyway, saying, “Yes, all thanks to her. I'm to blsince I'm not a inedical professional, and | can’t help you.”
