Who Do You Save?

Joseph said patiently, "What are you afraid of? Your career is blocked? Bad influence? It's okay ... I will do all these messy things for you. I will clear all the obstacles in your way. Don't be afraid."

Stella suddenly hugged Joseph's waist and buried her face in Joseph's embrace, crying loudly, "What I'm afraid of is that you will leave me and no longer pay attention to me. You will never pay attention to me!"

Joseph was stunned. He turned to smile gently and rubbed Stella's head with his large palm. "Why would I ignore you? I said I would protect you forever."

"But you have been completely influenced by Isabella!"

Stella burst into tears. "I have never seen you like this. For her, you were furious and lost your mind. Now, you are dejected. You are not like this. From beginning to end, you have never been a person who can bear it. But on her matter, you are drinking alone here. I don't want you to become like this! You have been completely caught by her!"
