Chapter 258

"There's another matter; I owe you an apology." Melissa paused then uttered with genuine remorse, "When Joseph hit you yesterday, you were injured. I am really sorry. I have been tossing and turning all night thinking about the incident, only falling asleep around two or three in the morning. I was worried that you might do something foolish and also feared disturbing your rest, therefore, I held back from calling until now." While Melissa was talking, suddenly, she heard a knock on her door. Recognizing the knock's rhythm, she knew it was Joseph. She couldn't continue chatting with Peter any longer; otherwise, Joseph would start nagging and commenting on her again. "Hmm, I'm fine, no need to worry." Peter replied perfunctorily with a light tone, he was in no mood to chat with anybody. "Well then, you sound quite tired, I suggest you go home and catch up on sleep. I'll call Amy in a while, after all, she might be shocked from last night's events. Later, I'll find time to call you back.
