Joseph's suit and shirt were all dirty.
Audrey bought smedicine and band-aids when he returned to the dormitory to change.
When Joseph cdownstairs, Audrey pulled him to sit on a bench and treated his wounds.
Joseph spoke up, “That person was just talking nonsense; don’t take it to heart. | don’t believe you'd drug
someone and take advantage of them! But... did Nathan really post your picture?”
“Yeah,” Audrey replied and focused on treating the wound.
Joseph clenched his fists. “I'm sorry!”
“It’s not your fault.” Audrey chuckled softly. “You don’t need to feel sorry.”
“Actually... What's the situation between you and Nathan?”
Joseph widened his eyes and looked at Audrey. “Don’t mind me. | grew up abroad and only

others is just a mess.”
“It’s nothing much.”
Audrey used a cotton swab dipped in iodine to clean the wounds on Joseph's lip and chin.

“When | woke up, | tried to make him remember our past, but he thought | had drugged him and posted my

“So...” Joseph grabbed Audrey’s wrist. “Is the child really Nathan's? You didn’t have an abortion back
then?”
Seeing Audrey's gaze fall on his hand, Joseph quickly let her go. “I'm sorry.”
“The child isn’t Nathan's, just mine...” Audrey took out a band-aid and helped Joseph put it on.
“Audrey... if, | mean if, Nathan remembers and regrets his actions, will you forgive him and reconcile with him?”
Joseph sounded anxious.
“| feel like Nathan might be starting to regain his memory! | can sense it! His feelings for you... They're different!

However, it was precisely this person who ruthlessly pushed her back into the gutter, trampled on her dignity,

He used his hands that once pulled her into the light to push her deeper into the abyss.
How could she not regret it? How could she not hate him?
Audrey packed everything into a plastic bag. “Let's go, Professor Douglas is still waiting for us in the auditorium.”
Diego was chatting and laughing with several school leaders and sscientific elites in the
auditorium.
He waved eagerly as soon as he saw Audrey and Joseph. “Audrey, Joseph, cover here!”
When Diego noticed the band-aid on Joseph's face, he paused briefly.
“I accidentally bumped into something while walking just now, but Audrey helpedtake care of it.” Joseph
smiled.
“This is the Joseph you asked about just now!” Diego introduced him to the scientific elites. “He's the genius in
