In the picture, Joseph held Norah in his arms and looked gentle.

But when he looked at me, he looked cold.

"The pregnancy test stick is on the table. Have a test. If you lie to me, you won't get any medicine in the future."

I couldn't believe it.

"Don't you trust me?"

Joseph snorted coldly.

"Don't act like you are wronged. You have lied to me numerous times."

What did he mean?

A year ago, the whole village suddenly suffered from uremia. I asked him for medicine again and again and saved my family's lives.

My families were admitted to the intensive care unit and were dying, but Joseph thought that I had lied to him because my family didn't die.

He thought I was using my family's lives to restrain him.

I tried hard to explain, but I couldn't speak anything.

I had explained to him numerous times.

But Joseph never listened to me.

I was here to ask for medicine, so I didn't care about Joseph's thoughts.

The pregnancy test stick could produce results in just five minutes.

Without hesitation, I grabbed it and ran to the bathroom, not wanting to waste any time.

As soon as I came out, he saw Norah crying heartbrokenly with the fish tank in her hands.

"Joseph, this goldfish has been with me for half a year. I can't bear to see it die."

Joseph's eyes were filled with pain.

"Hold on a little longer. Five hours ago, the doctor told me that we should just wait and that it would be fine soon. Once she finishes the test, I'll take you for a follow-up checkup."

I suddenly realized something.

Five hours ago, Joseph had already landed safely in Yoveet with the special medicine.

But he turned around and left mercilessly because of a phone call.

I thought he had something important to do.

It turned out that Norah's goldfish was sick.

Could it be that fifty-six lives were less important than a fish in Joseph's eyes?

"Is this why you abandoned our entire village?"

I questioned him.

But Joseph looked at me in disbelief.

"Mia, why are you so cold-blooded? Don't animals' lives matter?"

I was so angry that I almost laughed, but for a moment I didn't know how to refute him.

This was one of the countless ridiculous that Joseph did for Norah.

I closed my eyes, feeling an overwhelming sense of despair.

Joseph looked at me with a disheartened expression and frowned unconsciously.

"Are you crazy?"

My phone beeped, which meant five minutes were up.

I suppressed my anger, knowing that I shouldn't hold him responsible now.
