Rebirth Reclaiming Her Self by Fleur Delacour

Chapter 404 Can We Talk?
Joseph felt a sense of unease as Scarlet abruptly grabbed him and spoke
frantically.
He was originally anxious for a while when a rush of realization hit him. He
recalled Christopher mentioning yesterday that Zacharias’ match had been
arranged, and Scarlet seemed to have agreed, too.
In the midst of his confusion and Scarlets urgency, he had completely forgotten
it. What's going on? Something seems off.
Scarlet continued to be restless, and her voice grew increasingly desperate.
“Bring that wretched Angela here! If something happens to Zacharias, let her
make amends with her life!”
Her voice had become raspy, and her eyes were bloodshot red.
“Mom!” Joseph shouted suddenly as if trying to snap her out of it.
He gripped her arms tightly and stared into her somewhat dazed eyes. “Mom,
Christopher said you agreed to the match arrangement before. Don’t you
remember?”
He wanted to confirm the truth of Christopher's words.
The rush back here, on top of Scarlet's incessant questioning, caused his
thoughts to go in various directions. His mind went blank, and he somehow forgot
Christopher's words.
Scarlet remained bewildered as if stuck in a trance. “I don’t know!”
She shook her head incessantly, and her already disheveled hair resembled a
mop.

Seeing her complexion turn paler by the second, he felt both worried and
anxious. He knew pressing her for answers now wouldn't get him anywhere.
“Mom, please try to calm down,” he urged. “Please, just try to relax.”
But Scarlet couldn't calm down at all.
She clung tightly to his arm; her face was drained of colors, and her body
trembled uncontrollably. Still, she stubbornly gritted her teeth and insisted,
“You're not allowed to use Zacharias’ kidney!”
Upon hearing this, he immediately made a promise. “Mom, I promise, even if the
match is successful, I won't let him donate.”
At his pledge, she suddenly passed out.
Joseph quickly called for a doctor, who reassured him that Scarlet had simply
passed out from the shock and exhaustion, with no serious. consequences. Only
then did he breathe a sigh of relief.
As soon as the doctor exited the ward, Fanny burst in. “Joseph, what's going on
with Mom?” she asked anxiously, her face etched with concern.
Fanny was panting, and it seemed she had dashed over here in a panic.
With her already fragile health, her face was now deathly pale from the hurried
run.
Upon seeing her looking so weak and vulnerable, Joseph felt a tug at his
heartstrings.
“Don't worry. Mom's alright. But you need to take care of yourself. Your health
isn't fully back yet,” he assured her as he tidied her slightly messy hair.
Fanny stood there breathless as her eyes darted nervously. “Are you sure.

Mom's okay? Maybe I should stay here with her,” she suggested.
Joseph shook his head firmly. Scarlet’s collapse had been too sudden, and he
hadn't had the chance to fill Fanny in on the kidney match.
He worried that if Scarlet let something slip, it would make Fanny distressed.
Fanny is so kind-hearted. Knowing that Zacharias wants to donate his kidney to
her will surely make her sad.
Fanny pursed her lips. Upon seeing his solemn expression, she didn’t insist on
staying. She hesitated and said, “Then should we let Christopher take care of
him? He has a day off today.”
Joseph's expression darkened at the mention of Christopher's name.
“No, absolutely not!" His sudden firmness startled her.
She timidly met his gaze, and uncertainty flooded her heart.
Upon seeing her wide—eyed and startled, he realized he needed to reassure her.
After persuading Fanny to leave, Joseph checked the time.
There were still twenty minutes until 2 o'clock, and the cethey had agreed upon
was about twenty minutes away. Time was he needed to leave immediately to
meet Angela.

Little did he know that as soon as he left the hospital, Fanny circled back.
She stepped into the ward and took a seat beside the unconscious Scarlet.
At two in the afternoon, after Jonathan took Angela to the coffee shop, Joseph
hurried over.

Angela had promised Jonathan could be by her side in her meeting with Joseph,
so as soon as the agreed-upon time approached, Jonathan hurried back home
to fetch her.
When Joseph entered the private room, Jonathan barely glanced at him, and his
attention was still primarily focused on Angela.
He kept holding Angela's soft hand, but he couldn't play with it on the table like
before, so he had to keep it under the table as Joseph had arrived.
“Sorry for being late,” Joseph apologized. He quickly checked the time and noted
that it was exactly one minute past two.
His face looked terrible, and he seemed in a hurry. As soon as he arrived at the
private room, he didn’t even sit down before speaking, and he even gasped for
breath while looking a bit disheveled.
Jonathan remained silent. His stern expression clearly hinted at his displeasure
with Joseph.
“Here, have some water,” Angela said calmly, and she nodded toward the glass
on the table as a gentle prompt for Joseph to hydrate himself first.
Despite her attempt to free her hand from Jonathan's firm grasp, she sensed his
unease toward Joseph and decided to let him hold onto it.
She understood that Jonathan was sticking close out of concern for her.
During their journey here, she had assured him that she would handle everything
carefully this time without leaving any loose ends.
In response, he refrained from interfering and obediently trusted her judgment.
When she thought about this, she cast a soft, affectionate glance at him.

Her eyes were filled with warmth and a hint of a smile played on her lips.
Suddenly, he tightened his grip on her hand, and his arm naturally wrapped
around her waist in a brief, protective embrace.
Angela shot him a playful glare in response.
Meanwhile, Joseph picked up the glass. His gaze briefly flickered over Angela's
face before inadvertently brushing past Jonathan by her side.
Though he wasn’t paying him much attention, Joseph's mere presence seemed
to exert an unspoken pressure on him.

Angela shot Jonathan a reproachful look. In response, he smiled faintly and
released his grip on her waist.
Yet, his other hand continued to caress her delicate hand, treating it like it was a
precious treasure.
Angela patiently waited for Joseph to speak while allowing Jonathan to play with
her hand beneath the table.
Even before Joseph's arrival, Jonathan had been holding and fidgeting with her
hand, though not beneath the table.
Upon Joseph's arrival, Angela didn't withdraw her hand but allowed Jonathan to
hold it.
