With a small shudder, Joseph lifted his arm to take Fanny’s hand and then gripped Scarlet’s.
Observing his feeble response, Scarlet became very sympathetic and said, “Joseph…”
Joseph turned slowly to look at Scarlet as if registering her voice and asked, “Mom?”
“Mum is present. “Let’s head home,” Scarlet muttered.
“Joseph, let’s head home,” Fanny said.
He spoke with Joseph for a while before making a small movement. Joseph got up slowly with their help and went to the door.
Joseph seemed a little down even after he was in the car. He questioned abruptly, “Did Angela take accountability?” after a little interval.
He continued to think that Angela’s release was the result of shifting the blame and holding her accountable.
“They are all shielding that girl,” Scarlet. She has not experienced any repercussions.”

Following Joseph’s exit, Scarlet considered going up against Angela to sort things out. But even though she made many attempts to get close to Angela, everything appeared to be working against
her every step of the way. Scarlet tries her hardest, but she never even gets a sight of Angela. Scarlet, who harboured deep animosity for Angela, grimaced at the mere idea of her.
Unable to control herself, Scarlet poured out her annoyances on Joseph and Fanny, accusing and swearing at Angela. Joseph clinched his hands as he heard Scarlet taunt Angela and saw what she was doing.
“Why did this happen to me?”
He stiffened like a volcano about to erupt, his teeth clenched and a glimmer of madness in his eyes. He had remained calm prior to his detention, believing that he could get bond and be released even if he was charged with defamation. But Angela’s surprising actions dispelled his presumptions. She had made sure he was not eligible for bail.
Joseph had never experienced anything like this. All of it was due to Angela. She had him in her sights. Even when Scarlet or James paid him a visit, he seemed calm, but every day his feelings and thoughts were changing. He felt like there was a thin line in his head that may break at any time, saving what little logic and calmness he still had. When the family came to visit, he could pretend everything was normal as long as that thread remained.

Joseph thought that with a little more perseverance, he might get his freedom. Jonathan, his attorney, worked hard to find a solution and assured him he would soon be free.
When he was finally freed, he found that Angela was not subject to any consequences. His mind’s thin thread suddenly broke, sending him into an unexpected emotional collapse.
When Scarlet saw Joseph lose control, she instantly felt sympathy for him, saying, “Yes, Joseph! Why did Angela treat you in this way? We will make sure she pays for getting you jailed, Kins Family!”
But Joseph suddenly questioned, “Where is James?”
His abrupt release suggested James’s involvement, although James was not there.
“James is occupied with other matters, which is why Fanny and I came to pick you up first,” Scarlet did not know where James was, so her response was ambiguous.
Seated next to her, Fanny suspected that Jonathan had run afoul of Florence’s colleagues, making his way back home more difficult. However, she was hesitant to tell Scarlet this right
away.
Scarlet has always loved her sons dearly. If Scarlet revealed her ideas, Florence may be confronted on an impulse.
Fanny looked a little uncomfortable as she struggled with her ideas. Sensing she could be bothered by something, Joseph could not help but take notice of her attitude. Scarlet, however, does not stop berating Angela and pointing out how Angela has shunned her. The tension in the room increased as a result of this intense debate, which left Scarlet so furious that her face became pale.
As soon as she saw this, Fanny consoled Scarlet, saying, “Mom, don’t be sad. The most essential thing is your health.”
After reprimanding, Scarlet eventually became quiet. Her heart warmed as she glanced at Fanny. Fanny never lost her compassion, even after the kidney donation tragedy separated them. She was appreciative of Fanny’s thoughtfulness and kindness, and that Fanny had always been regarded by her as her daughter rather as Angela.
“It’s always our dear Fanny,” Scarlet replied, encircling her daughter in her arms.
Looking like a reassuring presence, Fanny smiled and reciprocated the gesture.
Then Scarlet put Fanny’s hand on Joseph’s and said, “Joseph, we’re going back to Riverdon once you’re better. It is imperative that you and Jonathan locate an appropriate kidney donor for Fanny.”
At this, Joseph, who was now more composed, nodded in agreement. But remembering

Fanny’s previous reaction, he felt a wave of anxiety wash over him. Soon afterward, the gang made their way back home, and Joseph, who was standing at the entrance, ran to meet them.
When Scarlet and Joseph noticed that he was trying to stand, they intervened swiftly and said, “Zac, please just sit down.”
Joseph resumed using the wheelchair following his most recent admission to the emergency department. He could stand from time to time, but he was frail and easily knocked down after a short distance.
Joseph replied, “Joseph, welcome home,” as he was seated.
Seeing Joseph seem so tired, a sign of all the pain he had been through, made him feel a great deal of shame. Joseph struggled to get over his sense of shame about his incarceration, even in spite of Angela’s attempts to make sure he got the right care. His bitterness against Angela was rekindled by this contradictory feeling, which made the already difficult situation much more complicated.
After arresting them, why had not Angela made arrangements for Joseph’s release? Joseph did not comprehend wherefore Angela had turned so callous, and it appeared that she was out to cause him pain.
Joseph realized that he would not have held Angela responsible if she had declined to see him once more, given her past susceptibility to manipulation. That was, after all, what he had desired at the moment. But suddenly, Angela had turned so heartless out of the blue.
