"I am so sorry. I looked and didn't see anyone, and then you suddenly appeared out of nowhere. I didn't have time to slam on the brakes. I will take you to the hospital," The driver rambled in a hurry.

Kate shook her head and said, "It's my fault. I didn't see any cars. Don't worry; I will be fine."

Another car pulled over, "What happened? Is everyone okay?"

The driver that hit Kate was worried when he saw Joseph walking toward them.

Kate thought she was just confused when she heard Joseph's voice. But when she looked up, she saw him standing in front of her with a cold expression.

"I…I hit her. I didn't do it on purpose…" The driver, frightened by Joseph's cold tone and facial expression, said nervously.

Seeing the driver so scared, Kate let told him to leave and then told Joseph it was none of his business.

Why is he here? I figured he would be with Anna. Kate thought to herself.

Joseph looked at Kate and then picked her up in his arms without saying anything.

"You…What are you doing?" Kate looked at him in bewilderment.

Joseph did not answer her and drove her to the hospital immediately.

The doctor applied ointment to her leg and told her, "Since it is Summer and your wound is prone to infection. Remember to stay away from water."

"I understand. Thank you!" Kate didn't expect to see a bruise when she rolled up her pants. She figured she was in more mental pain than physical pain.

Kate limped out of the room; Joseph could see that she was in pain, so he helped her to the car and took her home. The entire drive, Kate wondered why he helped her since he hated her so much.

Once inside the mansion, it was as if Joseph could read her mind, he coldly explained, "Don't be moved by my actions. I tend to help anyone in need, including animals."

"Wow, you really are loving!" Kate scoffed, "I won't be moved, or thank you then. And I will not divorce you either."

"Are you happy with the situation?" Joseph asked her.

"Yes, of course. I'm happy that you cannot be with Anna." She smiled reluctantly.

"You are a bad performer. Your expression betrays you," Joseph laughed and walked out of the room.

Later in the afternoon, Cassie arrived at the mansion for a visit. When she saw that Kate was having a hard time walking, she asked, "Kate, what happened to your leg? And tell me the truth?"

"Nothing, Mom. I was hit by a car and hurt my leg. I have seen the doctor, and it is getting better."

"I thought Joseph might have hit you…" Cassie replied.

Kate lowered her head and did not say anything else.

After a while, Cassie asked, "Did Joseph mention getting a divorce?"

"Kate, there is something that has been bothering me for many years. It's about your mother. I didn't plan to tell you, but I think I will help with your marriage."

Kate was stunned to hear there was something that concerned her mother, "Please tell me. I need to know."

"I was in contact with your mother when she was sick. To others' she may have looked like a lunatic, but she faked it to protect herself and you," Cassie said softly.

Hearing that her mother was acting, Kate frowned, "I knew it. She would not divorce my father because she wanted to keep the family together and prevent me from being hurt. But then my father married Dora the moment my mother died, then she and Anna moved in."

"Do you still remember the scene when your mother died?" Cassie hated to bring up painful memories, but to keep Joseph away from Anna; she had no choice.

"She fell down the stairs and hurt her head. Her final words were of me," Kate sobbed.

"I paid attention to the details," Cassie paused for a few moments to gather her thoughts then continued, "When we arrived, only Dora was there. Your father only got there after your mother fell. She was lying in a pool of her own blood but made sure to tell your father that you were to inherit White Group and all of the finances."

Kate tried her best to recall the details, but at that time, she was too worried and upset to think of such small things.

"Are you saying that you think Dora pushed my mother down the stairs?" Kate inquired. She thought it was possible because once her mother died, Dora could become her stepmother and move into the mansion. However, there must not have been any evidence, or she would have been charged with murder.

"Though your mother lost a lot of weight and was wasting away physically, she was mentally healthy. She talked with me a lot and planned to visit with me before she died. I know she did not commit suicide. I suspect that Dora pushed her, but no matter whether she did or not, we need to be careful. You know what kind of person she is, and I hope you will be able to protect yourself."

"I understand what you are saying, mom. She is now to have Anna to replace me and become Joseph's wife. I promise I will not allow it."

"Joseph's family is the most important thing to him. I believe that is why he became so depressed after his father's death…" Cassie sighed, "I regret that I didn't comfort him enough then. His father always supported him, and they talked often. He needed my love and care, but I was too focused on my career. When I left work, I tried to spend more time with him, but he didn't need or want my love."

Kate clearly knew how sad he was during that dark period because she sent him many letters.
