Rebirth Reclaiming Her Self by Fleur Delacour

Chapter 401 Stirring Up Trouble
Angela, after thinking things through, asserted, “I'll handle any further contact
from Joseph.”
The mere thought of reaching out to Joseph turned Angela's stomach.
Jonathan, not one to argue, chimed in, “Mind if I tag along when you meet him?”
His request took her by surprise, and while she was hesitating, he
acknowledged, “I'm concerned he might bully you.”
A faint blush colored Angela's checks and cars as she subtly nodded.
As the night wore on, Joseph returned to the hospital and found Christopher in
Zacharias’ room. Furrowing his brow, he realized that Christopher couldn't
facilitate contact with Jonathan although he was Jonathan's younger brother.
“Joseph, back already?” Christopher spoke softly, careful not to disturb
Zacharias.
He had come here after being bullied by Jane and was exhausted. However, he
hid his exhaustion well.
Joseph didn’t reply, merely gesturing for Christopher to follow him outside.
Despite his apprehension, Christopher complied.
They walked in silence until Joseph finally stopped and turned to face
Christopher's hesitant expression.
A sense of foreboding washed over Joseph as he avoided broaching
Christopher's involvement with another woman. Instead, he inquired, “What's on
your mind?”

Chapter 401 Surring Up Trouble
Summoning his courage, Christopher revealed, “The compatibility test for Fanny
and Zacharias has begun. In a few days, the results will be out.”
Joseph felt like he'd been sucker—punched, and his anger took over him. “What?
Who authorized this?”
Though expecting Joseph to blow his top, Christopher was taken aback by its
intensity. Stepping back, he explained, “Zacharias himself, with Mrs. Kins"
approval.”
As Christopher didn’t want Joseph to be mad at Fanny, he decided not to reveal
her involvement for now. Moreover, they hadn't told her about this
test.
Fanny's health was fragile, and her kidneys were failing. Nobody could guarantee
that she wouldn't reject the transplant.
So, they never planned to tell her the truth from the beginning. Even if they were
a match and Fanny went through with the transplant, they would never tell her
that the donor was Zacharias.
Joseph's face was threateningly dark. When Zacharias brought up the transplant
to him, he had a hunch that Zacharias didn't have the will to live, but he wasn’t
expecting him to do a compatibility test.
Thankfully, the results remained undisclosed, softening Joseph's expression
slightly.
Seeing Joseph's demeanor ease, Christopher pressed on, “Zacharias assumed
you wouldn't take it well, hence excluding you from the process.”
However, he struck a nerve with Joseph, who glared at him. “Don’t let Fanny
know about this. Also, I'll keep an eye on the test. So, please stay out of it, Mr.
Sanders.”
Initially, he was satisfied with Christopher, but after finding out about his
2/5
involvement with other women besides Fanny, he could no longer hide his
disdain for Christopher.
Unnerved by Joseph's glare, Christopher wanted to say something when Joseph
said, “If you don’t want Fanny to know what you did today, stay out of our family’s
affairs.”
Shocked, Christopher wondered if Joseph knew about Jane or if he was bluffing.
Seeing the doubt in his eyes, Joseph mentioned Jane's name. That was a
message intended for Fanny, but he redirected it to Christopher and would
achieve the same effect.
“Joseph-" Christopher was so nervous at the mention of Jane's name that he
called out Joseph out of reflex.
However, Joseph barked, “Don’t call me in such an intimate manner.”
“I have feelings solely for Fanny. Everything else is just a pretense,” Christopher
hastily clarified, eager to sever ties with Jane if she didn’t have a hold over him.
Unmoved by Christopher's explanation, Joseph dismissed him. urging him to
steer clear of the hospital and Fanny.
He then made his way to Gregory's office, unsure if he'd find him still there
because it was late.
Aresident doctor emerged from the office, prompting Joseph to check on
Zacharias.
To his surprise, Zacharias was awake.
“Hey, Joseph,” Zacharias greeted, noticeably more alert than before.

Concerned by Zacharias“ dehydrated condition, Joseph assisted him to drink
some water. Zacharias' current state was much worse compared to after Angela's
treatment.
“Did you
look for Angela out again?” Zacharias’ query pierced the air. In his daze after the
last ER episode, he had vaguely heard some conversation.
Joseph's silence spoke volumes. The last time, Zacharias had advised him
against looking for Angele, and he had agreed on a whim because Zacharias
seemed to be doing better.
But now, when Zacharias looked as though he had one foot in the coffin, he
couldn't stop himself from looking for Angela's help. After all, she was Zacharias
only hope now.
Zacharias coughed a few times. “Even if you find her, she won't come. I said
unforgivable things to her.”
“Why?” asked Joseph.
“I'll let you know once the test results are out,” Zacharias answered after a short
pause.
Joseph's frustration boiled over, especially at the mention of the test. “You'll risk
your life donating a kidney!”

As Joseph departed, Zacharias wrestled with sleeplessness, his body aching
from illness and anxiety.
The following day, Angela received unexpected news: Joseph had been
abducted by the casino’s associates.
Yarrison, who had been keeping watch on Joseph, relayed the unsettling
development to Angela and Jonathan.

George, indebted from gambling losses, sought Joseph's aid after suffering a
beating.
When the casino’s enforcers located Joseph, they wasted no time in dragging
him to a dingy basement, where George was held.
“Joseph, you made it!” George's slurred words greeted him, leaning heavily
on a nearby wall, “I need help clearing some debts.”
Joseph's concern grew as he eyed a shadowy figure, maintaining his composure.
“How much does he owe?”
