Chapter 365

365 I Am the Cure

Joseph knew he had lost her.

There was disappointment in his heart as well as despair.

He never knew that when he saw Isabella in someone else’s arms, his heart would hurt so much.

The last time she called him for help, he failed to help her. Maybe she was hurt by that. Or perhaps she had never liked him at all. He was no longer in her mind. She wouldn’t ask for his help this time. She would never trust him again!

Isabella was in Cedric’s arms and felt that someone was standing beside her. She looked around and saw Joseph.

Joseph looked down at her, his eyes full of sadness as if asking, “Was it over? Isabella? Was it over between us?”

Isabella’s eyes flickered and tears gushed out. She muttered, “Jo, Joseph.”

Both Joseph and Cedric froze.

The comforting words in Cedric’s mouth came to an abrupt end.

.....

Joseph’s eyes lit up, and his whole body was trembling. Then, almost at the same time, he pushed Cedric away and bent down to pick up Isabella. “Isabella, I’m here!”

Then, Joseph carried Isabella away from Cedric and quickly left.

Cedric was kneeling on the ground with a blank face. His hands were still in the former position of holding Isabella.

Loneliness and unexpected grief crept up his face, and he finally knew the answer he had been waiting for.

Just now, when Isabella was in danger, he was confronting Joseph.

Isabella called Cedric, instead of Joseph, for help. Cedric felt pleased, happy, and smug.

Cedric was furious now when he saw the mess on the ground.

Isabella bit his shoulder in despair and fear, like a dying animal. He felt his heart aching for her.

He swore that he would never leave Isabella alone again, and he would protect her all day long. Since she had chosen him, he would never let her get hurt again. And he would never let anyone near her.

But she was tense, so Cedric wasn’t able to wake her. However, when she saw Joseph, she put down her guard and cried out his name.

The call was more hurtful and terrifying than all her hesitations before.

When she was terrified, when she had lost her mind, she only recognized Joseph.

All she had in her eyes was Joseph.

Not Cedric.

Cedric knelt on the ground, his heart filled with loneliness.

...

Joseph picked Isabella up. When he saw her wearing a sexy dress, he frowned. He took off his clothes and wrapped her up. He went out and put her in the front passenger seat. Then he fastened the seat belts and drove away.

“I don’t feel well...” Isabella’s eyes were closed but she was touching her neck.

“Don’t be afraid. I’m here. I will be here with you.”

Joseph held the steering wheel with one hand and reached out the other to hold Isabella’s hand, afraid that she might hurt herself again. “I will take you to the hospital now. Everything will be fine. Don’t be afraid.”

Isabella held Joseph’s cold hand. Suddenly, she rubbed her face with it. And then she put her face on his thigh and groped around. “I want...”

Joseph was stunned.

He knew that there was something wrong with Isabella. At first, Isabella acted like a crazy person who had lost her mind. After meeting him, she seemed to have lost all her strength. He had thought that she was too frightened and wanted to take her to the hospital. From the way she acted now...

She was drugged with that kind of medicine.

Joseph saw that Isabella’s face was getting redder, and her breathing became rough. Her hand started to reach into his pants, touching his thigh. Joseph frowned.

That bunch of bastards!

She was just a little girl!

He suddenly snorted because Isabella pinched him.

“Isabella!”

Joseph looked around and changed his direction. “Hold on. Let’s go to my company.”

Isabella had already lost all of her rationality and was unintentionally flirting with Joseph.

Joseph was doing his best to put up with Isabella’s flirting. He gently pushed her away, but she immediately leaned forward again. She wailed, “I don’t feel well. I don’t feel well...”

Joseph caressed her face to comfort her. “Isabella, I will give you whatever you want. But you have to listen to me. You will get sick if you continue to act like this.”

Isabella started to cry. The drugs made her crazy.

In less than five minutes, the car arrived at the Globe Building. Joseph carried Isabella and ran to the company. In the elevator, the two of them kissed.

Isabella couldn’t wait any longer. She grabbed Joseph by the collar, wanting to let out her urges.

This place was safe. Joseph cared no more. He held Isabella in his arms and pressed her onto the elevator to kiss her.

The elevator soon reached its destination. Isabella was hanging on Joseph like an octopus. Joseph quickly opened the door to his office and placed her in the bathtub.

He turned on the warm water.

Then he started dousing water on Isabella.

“What are you doing? Don’t do this! What are you doing?” Isabella screamed.

“I can give it to you. But first, let’s wear off the drugs.”

Joseph sat in the bathtub with his clothes on and hugged Isabella tightly. He held her hands and comforted her. “Listen to me, I don’t know how many drugs those bastards gave you. But sex is not the answer. If you don’t wake up now, you will go crazy.”

Isabella couldn’t move and lay in Joseph’s arms, crying in sadness.

Joseph washed her body with warm water. He was also controlling himself.

He wished they could be together right now and be done with it.

But he couldn’t.

He knew the power of these drugs.

In the nightclub, bad guys lured girls to take these drugs. Overdose might make one go crazy and create hallucinations. In the end, they could do whatever they liked to the girls.

He wouldn’t take the risk.

The simple solution was to do it with her. But she might be gone, for good.

No, he had to let her regain some of her consciousness first.

“Give it to me! I want it! I want it now! Please! Please!”

Isabella tugged at Joseph’s clothes and begged.

Joseph checked the time, then turned to Isabella and said in a deep voice, “Isabella, look at me. Do you recognize me?”
