Chapter 231 Daisy’s Attemp

"Kate..." Daisy was a little offended and asked uncertainly, "Didn’t you come here to take me back home?”

"Home?" Kate couldn't help but sneer, "You did not regard it as your home before. Besides, you still hate Anna. Could you live happily with her there?"

“I have always said the place where you and your mother lived was my home, Kate. But then, Dora and Anna moved in. The house changed, and it was not like before. They would insult me, and you…"

"Even so, it doesn't give you the right to interfere in my relationship with Joseph. If you really thought of me as your sister, you would not have treated me like that. If you are unhappy with me, you can tell me rather than scheme behind my back.”

Daisy was looking for excuses for the mistakes she made rather than realizing the real problem. Kate didn't want to forgive her nor argue with her about the situation.

She said coldly, "I will have the guards that Joseph posted here removed. But, I will not let you return!”

Daisy's face turned pale; she was unable to accept Kate's words. She said, "Kate, why can you forgive Anna, who took away your happiness for years? Plus, it caused you to have a miscarriage, but not forgive me? Even if I did act horribly, it was because I care about you. I wanted to have the peacefulness we once had in that house back. And I didn’t want Anna there bringing up the bad memories of the past!”

Kate took a deep breath and said slowly, "These are not important anymore. You just take need to worry about taking care of yourself."

"Kate!" Seeing her about to leave, Daisy grabbed her hand, crying and begging, "Forgive me, please? Let me go back. I promise I will never bully Anna again. I will get along with her and not upset you.”

With a cold glare, Kate looked at Daisy, “You don’t have to do this to yourself. It won’t make any difference. Anyway, as I said, take care of yourself.”

“Take care of myself..." Daisy laughed and then cried, "I was kicked out of the house by you, and I know I am just a homeless orphan like I was when I was a child. What meaning does my life have?”

Kate remained unmoved and pulled her hand away from Daisy. She walked over and told the guards, “Go back to Aubi City.”

"But Lord Joseph ordered us to monitor her..."

"Yes, Lady Kate, we cannot leave without the permission of Lord Joseph."

Kate glanced at Daisy, who was sitting on the ground and said quietly to the two guards, "He had you monitor her because he was worried that she would hurt me. It seems that it is no longer necessary."

"I’m afraid that you must ask for Lord Joseph’s..."

"Ahh!"

Immediately, Kate turned around to see Daisy lying on the floor with a bloody wrist.  Nervously, she rushed to Daisy and put pressure on her wrist as she shouted at the guards to call an ambulance.

At the door of the emergency room, Kate paced back and forth anxiously. She could hear the last words Daisy said before passing out, “Kate, I know that you will not forgive me. The only way I can show you how sorry I am is to sacrifice myself. I hope you will forgive me and not be angry…”

Kate clenched her fists tight, hoping she could erase the pain in her heart. Even though she could no longer consider Daisy, her family, Daisy should not think of herself as worthless. She was still pacing when Joseph arrived.

“Kate!” He ran to her and pulled her close to him.

Kate buried her head in his chest, feeling comforted. Witnessing Daisy’s suicide attempt made her overly distraught, but having Joseph close eased her nervousness some.

“I went there just to have the guards leave. I never expected to be in this situation.”

Joseph kissed her head and reassured her, “It’s not your fault. Don’t blame yourself.”

Suddenly, the door opened, and nurses pushed out a hospital bed with an unconscious Daisy.

While Joseph spoke to the doctor about Daisy’s condition, Kate went to the hospital room with the other medical staff. She stood beside Daisy’s bed, looking at the pale young woman, feeling overly guilty.

Joseph walked up behind her and nodded for her to follow him to the hallway.

“What did the doctor say?”

“It is not serious due to her receiving the proper treatment quickly.”

Kate sighed with relief, but she was still worried, “She bled a lot, and that could be harmful.”

“Kate, it’s not your problem. Don’t think this is your fault," Joseph told her. He knew she felt guilty; he held her into his arms and said, "The doctor said she is now out of danger and can recover as long as she rests.”

Joseph did not sympathize with Daisy at all. He only cared about Kate's feelings.

“You go home; I will stay here to look after her," Kate wanted to wait for her to wake up.

“No, I am staying here with you!”

Kate shook her head, “I was told by John that there are many things that need to be dealt with at Smith Group. Go back and deal with them. Don't worry about me; I will be okay."

“If it were Lisa lying on the bed, I would be perfectly comfortable leaving you here alone, but she…” Joseph could feel his anger building at the thought of what Daisy and Samuel did.

“Joseph, I know that you are worried about me. But now everything is different.

She is lying on the bed, and I will take precautions against her. She will not swindle me,” Kate promised him.

Joseph knew that she was determined, so he gave up persuading her, “Okay, but I am leaving the two guards to watch over you. If you need anything, you can ask them."

“Thank you,” Kate agreed.

That night, Joseph stayed by Kate’s side. At five o'clock the next morning, he gave her a kiss and returned to Aubi City. She had encouraged him to go home sooner so that he could sleep, but he said without her, he wouldn't sleep anyway.

Daisy woke up at noon and looked around confused, “Kate, where am I?”

Kate sighed when she saw Daisy awake. She gently said, “We are at the hospital.”
