Chapter 107 On Purpose

When Joseph thought of how he degraded Kate, harassing her and calling her names because he trusted in Anna, he was mortified. He realized how stupid he had been when all along it was Anna who was lying to him and caused him to turn against Kate.

The anger overwhelmed him, and he kicked Anna off of his leg, "If an apology is all it takes, can I punish you and then apologize?"

Anna understood exactly what he meant; she quickly looked toward the wardrobe and rushed toward it. She purposely hit her head on the corner of it and fell to the floor bleeding.

By the time Joseph could react, Anna had already passed out on the floor. He needed to get her to the hospital.

At the moment, Joseph was carrying Anna out the front of the hotel, Kate and Samuel were leaving the restaurant.

"What happened, Joseph?" Samuel was worried when he saw Anna's face full of blood.

Kate was surprised but controlled her curiosity and stood back.

Joseph ignored Samuel and put Anna in his car then sped off.

"Joseph and Anna are were also here?" Samuel questioned. He glimpsed at Kate and then asked the waiter, "Do you know what happened?"

"Perhaps they got into a fight in their hotel room; then man carried her out of here. I am assuming he hit her…" The waiter said with uncertainty.

"I forgot there is a hotel upstairs…" Samuel said, playing dumb.

After hearing the waiter's comments, Kate tried to remain calm. She looked at Samuel, "Thank you for what you told me tonight! I do need to get home, though."

"I can send you home, Kate!" Samuel took out his car keys and ran to catch up to her. But Kate stepped back, "Thank you, but I can get a taxi on my own!"

Samuel needed to find out what happened with Joseph and Anna, so he didn't argue with Kate. He just smiled and replied, "Okay, take care of yourself, and please let me know when you are home safely."

The entire taxi ride home, Kate wondered how Anna got hurt. She knew Joseph loved her, so she didn't believe he would have the heart to injure her.

"What's wrong with you, Kate?" Daisy asked her when she walked in the door.

Kate shook head smilingly and replied, "Nothing."

"You cannot lie to me. I can tell by the look on your face that something is going on," Daisy handed her a glass of water and asked again, "Are you stressed out at work?"

Kate took a deep breath and then proceeded to tell Daisy what had happened at the restaurant.

"What? Full of blood?" Daisy was shocked at first but then said, "She does not deserve our sympathy. And I don't even care if she is disfigured because of the injury!"

Daisy thought of what Joseph asked her. She knew he would figure out the situation, so she said, "Keep calm. Let's wait for answers."

"Wait?" Kate was puzzled by Daisy's comment, "What do you mean by wait?"

"I mean, you are too emotional now and are likely to jump to conclusions. Keep calm, and don't be misled by people."

"Although Joseph's words are not credible, according to my understanding, it's not surprising at all that Anna does such things. After all, Samuel and I are the victims, and she is the winner."

Daisy nodded to show her agreement but still persuaded her to calm down.

Kate thought it a little strange, so she asked, "Why are your words also so vague?"

"Huh?"

"Mm…Nothing," Kate had questioned Daisy because she sounded like Joseph. He often talked very vaguely, and she often needed to guess what he meant.

"Don't overthink and stress any more than you already are! I don't want you to be bothered by Anna and Dora!"

Kate smiled brightly and said, "I will not. Don't worry."

The next morning, Leo told Kate how Anna was injured.

Leo sighed, "Anna is just like her mother. She will do anything, regardless of the consequences."

"Why did she hit her head?" Kate questioned, even though she tried to convince herself that she didn't care.

"Joseph did not say. He only told me that everything would be clear after Anna woke up."

Kate was even more curious, but she decided it was best to go to work and pretend it was a typical day.

As soon as Kate sat down, her phone rang, "Hi Kate! It is Cassie; I am just at the gate. Can you please come to see me? I have something important to tell you."

Kate did not say anything; she hung up and rushed to the gate.

"Hi, my daughter! Can you come to the hospital with me?" Cassie asked as soon as Kate got in the car.

Kate was confused as to why she needed to go to the hospital. However, she didn't want to upset Cassie, so she nodded.

"Don't be nervous. I just think that you should be present so that my stupid son can explain everything," Cassie grinned.

What on earth happened? Why do I need to be present? Is she taking me to the hospital to see Anna? A million questions ran through Kate's mind.

Joseph and Dora were sitting next to Anna's bed when Cassie and Kate walked in.

The moment Kate appeared, Dora got up and pointed at Kate's face. She shouted, "Who permitted you to be here? Get out!"

Cassie tightly grasped Kate's hand, "I brought her here!"

Though Dora feared Cassie, she did not back down, "My daughter is still unconscious. All of you have caused this. If anything were to happen to her, I will make you pay!"

Dora did not know what had happened; she only knew that Anna was in the hospital.
