After hearing Joseph's words, Aaron appears a gleam of hope in his eyes. Then, he says with a voice full of sincerity and gratitude, ""If I can be of any use to you in the future, just ask me and I'll try my best to do it.""
Joseph snorts, says nothing, and walks to Katrina's door.
He doesn't need his reward.
As long as Aaron won't hurt Katrina in the future, it is already the best thanks for Simon's family.
This time, he gives him another chance and asks Katrina if she wants to see him.
If Eric was around, he's afraid that Aaron has been driven away.
Joseph knocks softly on the door, ""Katrina, it's me, Joseph. May I come in now?""
Katrina is flipping through a storybook, lying in bed.
When Katrina hears a knock on the door from outside, she responds quickly, ""You can come in, Joseph.""
Joseph uses the room card in his hand to open the door and enters the room.
Katrina puts down her book and looks up at Joseph. She stares at Joseph with sincere eyes and thanks, ""Joseph, thank you very much.""
During the days when she was missing, it must be a very tough period for Joseph to look after grandpa and find out where she was.
Katrina's feelings towards Joseph, usually solemn, non-talkative cousin, and had respect and gratitude.
""We're family. It doesn't have to be so polite.""
Joseph strides to her bed and sits down in a nearby chair.

Joseph and Katrina chat casually for a while.
He wants to change the subject and tell Katrina that Aaron is here, right outside the door...
However, seeing her bright smile at this time, he is worried that when Katrina hears Aaron's name, it will remind her of some bad memories and make her feel upset.
Katrina probably senses a different look on Joseph's face, as if he had something to say to her.
Katrina, somewhat puzzled, asks, ""Joseph, you come to see me... Is there anything else?""
Under Katrina's questioning, Joseph hesitates, then finally says, ""Katrina, he is here. He wants to see you.""
Upon hearing Joseph's words, Katrina's smile freezes.
Then, she lowers her eyes gloomily.
Although Joseph doesn't mention Aaron's name directly, Katrina immediately knows who he is talking about.
At the thought of Aaron, Katrina remembers his indifference to her.
Thinking about that morning after she woke up in his bed, he said angrily in a cold voice and asked her to leave. She cannot help remembering the pain and sadness.
Thinking of that morning, she went back to her room to retrieve her belongings, but accidentally saw him in his bathrobe holding a woman in his arms outside his door, she felt sad and desperate.
If he hated her so much and if he fell in love with so
