Kate didn't want to leave, and said to Rowen, "You go first, I'll stay with Lisa."

"Kate, you're no match for these students. Leave with Rowen!" Lisa saw the girls getting closer and she pushed Kate away in a panic.

Rowen said to Kate, "Come on, I'm the one they want. Lisa will be fine here. We'll get in touch with her outside the school."

Kate jumped on to the motorcycle, and Rowen said, "Kate, hold on to me!"

However, Kate grasped on to the back of his motorcycle instead.

Rowen sensed she was hesitant and didn't push her. He gently said, "Just hold on, I will drive slow."

"It's okay, Lisa often drives me, and I ... ah!"

Suddenly, they fell to the ground and the motorcycle landed on them.

As he lifted the motorcycle, he asked, "Kate, are you okay?"

"I'm fine ..." She reached out and touched her legs, it hurt a little. Then asked back, "How about you? Are you hurt?"

Kate saw that Rowen was supporting the motorcycle and she would have been seriously hurt if it hadn't been for his help.

"I'm fine," Rowen pushed through the pain in his leg and lifted Kate up from the ground.

Kate took out her phone and sent Lisa their location. Within a few minutes, Lisa arrived by taxi and was shocked, "What is going on? And what happened to my motorcycle?"

Rowen apologized, "I'm sorry Lisa, it was my fault. I was in a rush and then we fell. I was the one who broke your motorcycle."

"Ah? My poor bike ..." Lisa touched the motorcycle and asked in shock, "Did Kate get hurt?"

She looked up at Kate and yelled, "Did you get hurt?!?"

Kate shook her head and pointed to Rowen's leg, "He was injured."

After so many years, Kate was no longer close to Rowen, she didn't even want to say his name.

"Then let's go to the hospital," Lisa had a concerned look.

Rowen wanted to refuse but thought that Kate's legs had also been crushed and immediately agreed.

Just as they were waiting for a taxi, a luxurious car stopped in front of them.

"Is that for you?" Lisa turned to Rowen and asked curiously.

Rowen took a close look, and then shook his head, "No!"

Kate was also wondering when the car window rolled down, and a familiar face appeared.

"Joseph!" Lisa exclaimed.

Suddenly, Kate began to panic. Rowen was confused and he glanced at Kate while Joseph stared at her.

"Get in!" Joseph said.

Lisa hesitated and whispered to Kate, "What should we do?"

"I think we will be able to get a taxi in such a big city!" Kate took a step back, obviously refusing the ride.

Joseph said calmly, "It's a one-way street."

"Right! We have to go to the other street, but Rowen's leg is injured. Will he be able to walk there?" Lisa murmured to Kate, hoping she would change her mind.

"I am not sure…" Rowen knew that she did not want to accept a ride from Joseph.

Joseph heard how gently Kate spoke to Rowen and he became even more annoyed. He gripped the steering wheel and snarled, "Get in!"

Lisa saw the hurt in Joseph's eyes, she pulled Kate toward her and whispered, "He is very sincere, why don't you give him a chance? Besides, Rowen's leg is injured. I am not sure how long he can wait to have it looked at."

Kate didn't want to say yes but finally agreed considering Rowen was injured.

Lisa opened the car door, "Come on Rowen! It will be much faster and easier."

Rowen glanced at Joseph, then nodded, "Okay."

Lisa helped Rowen get into the car first. Kate tried to get in the other back door but it was locked. Kate frowned and took a step back.

Lisa didn't notice the door was locked and just assumed Kate was in a mood, so she persuaded, "Kate, it's not the time to…"

Joseph opened the front door and turned to Kate, "Aren't you going to the hospital?"

So, he just wants her to sit next to him... Kate was not surprised at all and felt slightly awkward but she told herself…All right, just regard it as taking a ride from a Good Samaritan.

Lisa was glad to see Joseph's effort to reconcile with Kate after she understood his intentions.

Nobody in the car spoke a word but Lisa suddenly said, "Mr. Smith, you are going home awfully late."

"Yes!" Joseph replied.

He couldn't say that he was there because pictures of Kate and Rowen on the motorcycle were already circulating on the internet.

"You need to get more rest," Lisa wanted to say thank you but didn't know how to talk to Joseph with Kate and Rowen there.

"Maybe."

"Uh ..."

He really is not a good talker! Lisa thought.

"Your motorcycle has been taken to the repair shop," Joseph said.

"Oh, I can't believe that I just left my poor bike on the roadside ..." Lisa lowered her head with guilt.

Rowen felt really sorry. "I'm sorry Lisa, it's all my fault. I will buy you a new one tomorrow, and I will make sure it looks the exact same!"

"No, it's not your fault."

"The same one?" Joseph sneered. "You can buy a new motorcycle for Miss Green, but can you pay for her emotions?"

Why did that sentence sound so familiar?
