Torn Between Love and Hate

Chapter 119

Chapter 119 Took Deborah away

After Joseph finished his words, he walked past Gerald and left.

All the servants in the villa had been dismissed. Gerald saw that even Shawn was not with Joseph.

Gerald chased after Joseph and said furiously, “What are you talking about? The Black family has

raised you for so many years, and this is your reward?”

Joseph was blocked by Gerald. However, he just looked at Gerald indifferently and said, “I made a lot

of money for the Black family, but I have never used a penny of the Black family. I don’t owe you.

*As for what I’m doing now, I remember I told you about it on the first day I went back to the Black

family. I said I would make Wayne pay what he owed my mother.

“I planned to wait for more evidence so that he could get the death penalty, but now something

happened, and I don’t want to wait any longer.”

When Joseph’s mother passed away, she left him a fortune.

In addition, when he became an adult, he started his own business except for managing the Black

family, so he had never spent money from the Black family.

Gerald stood where he was and couldn’t find anything to refute.

After saying that, Joseph put the suitcase into the trunk and then opened the car door.

Gerald knew that he couldn’t persuade Joseph, not to mention the fact that the evidence had already

been exposed and the public opinion was overwhelming. Even if Joseph said it was false at this time,

no one would believe it.

This case was significant, the top officials had already paid attention to the progress of the case, and

even many foreign media were paying attention to it.

The whole country was hotly discussing it, so the news was impossible to be suppressed.

And it was inevitable for the Mullen family to retaliate against the Black family.

Gerald sighed. He looked at Joseph who was getting into the car and asked, “Did you make up your

mind to leave?”

With his mother’s cinerary casket in his hand, Joseph got into the car without looking back. “I won’t

come back. My

mother hates this place.”

After being abandoned by her ex-husband and forced to remarry, she was abused all year round by her

new husband and was killed by domestic violence. She was even announced that she died in a fire

after her death.

So, even though there were only her ashes, she must be very unwilling to stay here.

Now that Wayne was in prison, it was time for Joseph to take his mother’s ashes away.

Just as Joseph reached out to close the car door, Gerald stopped him. His expression turned guilty and

lonely. “Believe it or not, I didn’t force your mother to marry Wayne back then.

“Later, she also told me that she was doing well. If I knew she had endured that kind of torture, I

wouldn’t…”

With disgust on his face, Joseph interrupted Gerald, “Shut up.”

Gerald still wanted to explain. “After your mother passed away, you said she didn’t die in the fire but

was killed by

Wayne.

“I didn’t believe it because I heard from your mother that Wayne was good to her.

When you presented the evidence, I finally saw Wayne’s true lace clearly. Maybe the truth about your

mother’s death was like what you sakl.”

Joseph didn’t have the patience to listen to Gerald, so he pushed away Gerald’s hand blocking the car

door.

Gerald said sadly, “I’m sorry for your mother. Please stay with me. If the Mullen family makes things

difficult for you, I will deal with it for you.”

Before Gerald could finish his words, Joseph slammed the car door and drove away.

Joseph went to the remote villa, where Lucien was waiting for him.

When Lucien saw Joseph coming in, he sighed. “Are you really leaving? Are you even not taking Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

Shawn with you?”

Joseph didn’t say anything. He strode upstairs and went directly to the bedroom.

Opening the bedroom door, he finally let out a long breath when he saw the girl lying on the bed.

This play exhausted him.

Ashton was not so easy to fool, so Joseph couldn’t show any flaws.

His every move, every word, and every expression must be watertight.

the past two days, he acted so into the play that even had the illusion that Deborah was really dead.

Since yesterday morning, when he took a person who passed away from an operation and acted that

play, he hadn’t

come here to see Deborah.

He acted in complete despair in front of Ashton, fought for the corpse with Ashton in grief and anger,

put the evidence

of Wayne’s crime on the Internet, and left the Black family and the Black Group.

Everyone would firmly believe that Joseph didn’t want anything and didn’t care about anything because

of Deborah’s

death.

Undoubtedly, this time, even Ashton who was so suspicious believed it.

And even Joseph himself had the illusion that Deborah seemed to have passed away.

When he thought of that, he couldn’t bear the feeling that his heart was held by someone. He couldn’t

breathe for a moment because of the pain, and he even collapsed to the ground.

But now, he finally deceived everyone and dealt with everything. He could finally come here to see

Deborah.

Standing aside, Lucien sighed, “When you made the scene with Ashton at the gate of the hospital

yesterday, I even

had the illusion that the dead lying on the bed was Deborah.”

Joseph didn’t reply to what Lucien said. He hurried to the bed, squatted down anxiously, and held the

hand hanging by

the bed.

It was warm. Joseph’s heart which was hanging high finally had a landing.

After slowly calming down, he responded to what Lucien said, “I told Shawn that Deborah had passed

away, so I wanted to go abroad and would never come back. I just asked him to leave.

“

Shawn has a prejudice against Deborah and thinks she hinders me. If he knows about Deborah’s fake

death, I’m afraid he will leak some news.”

Lucien said with his eyes widened, “Don’t you even believe Shawn?”

Joseph stared at Deborah who was lying on the bed and said, “t don’t want to make any mistakes this

time, so to be honest, I don’t want to belleve anyone.

“It I hadn’t had to find a doctor to take care of Deborah, I wouldn’t let you know that Deborah is still

alive.”

Lucien joked, “You won’t kill me afterward, will you?”

Joseph’s mood was better now, so he said, “That depends on your future performance.”

Without further delay, Joseph carried Deborah up, left the bedroom, and went downstairs to the

backyard.

Lucien helped him carry the luggage and followed him to the backyard.

Joseph didn’t bring anyone else with him. Lucien not only could take care of Deborah but also worked

as a pilot before and could fly a private jet.

The less person who knew that Deborah was still alive meant less risk. Joseph tried to minimize the

risk.

Joseph didn’t take Deborah abroad because Deborah said before that she was not comfortable with

the environment and language barrier in a foreign country.

He took Deborah to Oceanview City, the city farthest from Richmond in the country.

No one knew them there.

Deborah was in a coma for a long time.

She had made up her mind to die, but she was saved by Joseph at the last moment.

However, due to the excessive emotional ups and downs and the infection of the surgical wound, she

fell into a coma

for several days.

Joseph settled down in Oceanview City. One day, when he worked by Deborah’s bedside as usual, he

suddenly felt something was wrong.

When he looked up, he saw Deborah who had been in a coma, looking at him with her eyes open. tão

Amnesia.

When Joseph met Deborah’s eyes, his heart suddenly skipped a bit, and he was so guilty that he didn’t

even dare to look at her.

He led to Deborah about things concerning Alyssa, su it was inceivable that Alyssa must hate him to

death

Even if Joseph rescued Deborah now, she had to intention of living anymore, so she would definitely

leave Joseph desperately and continue to seek death

Alyssa was gone, and everything Deborah cared about was gune, so she didn’t want to live anymore.

Joseph didn’t know where to start, but Deborah on the bed spoke first, “Who are you?”

Joseph was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had heard wrong. “What?”

Deborah still looked at him with blank and defensive eyes and looked around the bedroom.

Her eyes slowly fell back to him, and Deborah repeated the same sentence, “Who are you?”

Joseph got up and approached her, and looked at her in dishellet. “Deborah, are you feeling well?”

As soon as he approached, Deborah immediately sat up from the bed and backed away from him in a

pante.

“What’s the relationship between us?”

Seeing her resistance, Joseph stopped approaching her and sald guiltily, “Deborah, don’t be like this. If

you hate me, just scold me whatever you want to say, and don’t say such things.”

She must have hated him so much that she simply pretended that she didn’t know him.

Deborah couldn’t understand what he said and frantically looked around for familiar traces, only to find

that her mind was completely empty.

Deborah didn’t know what was familiar to her. Everything was strange to her, even herself.

Her eyes fell on herself, and she noticed the diamond ring on her ring finger.

Her vision was completely confused. “Am I married?”

Joseph finally realized that something was wrong. Deborah’s words and deeds didn’t seem to be

pretending. To be exact, she didn’t seem to pretend not to know Joseph because she hated him.

Her bewilderment and panic were real, and she had become strange to everything.

She obviously noticed it herself and said over and over again with an uneasy expression, “Who the hell

are you?”

Joseph suppressed his emotions and comforted her, “Don’t panic, and I’ll let the doctor come in to treat

you.”

Deborah still looked defensive, and she retreated to the corner of the bed and stared at him.

Joseph recalled the day when she had an accident a few days ago.

At that time, she was walking towards the middle of the street in a daze when a car honked sharply,

stepped on the brakes but still approached her out of inertia.

When Joseph rushed over to pull her away, she struggled desperately and fell to the ground.

After Joseph took her into the car, she was unconscious with a pale face. Obviously, she had gone

through a lot of ups

and downs in her mind.

But Joseph was very sure that her wound was not too serious.

At least certainly, it was not to the point of breaking her brain and causing complete amnesia.

He called Dr. Garza in and said in a deep volce, “Deborah doesn’t seem to remember anything.”

Dr. Garza thought he was joking and replied neatly, “Isn’t it a good thing for you?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Deborah, on the bed, became more defensive.

Seeing her like this, Dr. Garza regained his serious expression and approached the person on the bed.

“How could it be? Did she really forget everything? Didn’t she just fall down normally?”

Joseph was a little worried. “I’m also surprised.”

Dr. Garza stared at Deborah on the bed for a long time before he was basically sure that she was not

acting.

He turned to Joseph and said, “You go out first, and I’ll check on her.”

Joseph was worried. “Since you are not a psychiatrist, I’m afraid you can treat her in the right way with

a little knowledge about psychic medicine from books.”

Hearing this, Dr. Garza carried the medicine box and was about to leave. “You can find another one to

help you.”

Joseph had no choice now, so he could only make do with it.

“Please have a look at her, and I’ll go out.”

As he walked outside, Deborah subconsciously stared at him, wanting to get out of bed and follow him.

She forgot everything, but she felt a little more familiar with Joseph and felt that he was more

believable.

Joseph walked to the door and turned to look at her. “I’ll wait outside the door. Deborah, let the doctor

nurse you. Don’t worry, and there will be no problem.”

Deborah didn’t say anything, and Joseph half closed the door.

He waited outside the door for nearly an hour, eager to know what happened inside.

He was just about to knock on the door to ask about the situation when the door was opened from the

inside.

Dr. Garza came out from the inside with a rare serious expression. “Deborah has lost her memory

indeed.”

Joseph was stunned for a moment, then frowned. “This is unreasonable.”

How could it be possible to lose memory after such a fall, not to mention her head was barely hit?

Dr. Garza explained, “I consulted a psychologist colleague about Deborah’s situation. Deborah’s

amnesia is not entirely caused by the fall.

“Accumulating depression leads to her sickness. She has been overly depressed over a long period of

time, and she decided to seek death, but that was stopped by you.

“It led to her emotional breakdown, which was regarded as a psychological self-protection mechanism,

blocking

those memories that would lead her to death.”

Joseph was somewhat puzzled, and Dr. Garza continued, “In short, it’s her body’s self-protection that

made her lose her painful memories.”

Joseph said in a deep voice, “But she seems to have forgotten everything before.”
