Chapter 1033
So, in other words, he was clearly being monitored. There was no other reason so many people would be keeping an eye on him.
Stillโฆ
Josephโs gaze shifted toward the clueless caretaker. As for her, he hadnโt quite figured her out yet. Whose side was she on? Who had sent her?
The moment their eyes met, filled with suspicion, the caretaker flinched. What had she gotten herself into? Sheโd just taken a job, how did things get so complicated? No wonder the pay was so highโclearly, this wasnโt an easy post. With a guy like this, mentally unstable and volatile, no matter who came next, theyโd have a hard time taking care of him.
Once the others cleared out, only she remained in the room. Joseph, with no hesitation, started ordering her around.
โSince Iโm being discharged this afternoon, go ahead and pack my things.โ
She nodded quickly, signaling that she understood. Sheโd taken the money, so of course sheโd finish the job. There was no room for delay now. The sooner this troublemaker left, the sooner she could move on to the next clientโpreferably someone sane. Just the thought made her feel like life might not be so bad after all.
โYes, Iโll start packing right away,โ she replied.
Joseph stepped into the bathroom and changed into fresh clothes. When he came out, his eyes landed again on the supplement bag on the floor. He frowned slightly and asked, โWhere did this come from?โ

The caretakerโs hands froze mid-fold as she was making the bed. She hadnโt expected him to actually bring it up. Sheโd originally planned to take it with her if he didnโt notice. Clearly, that wasnโt going to happen now.
โThose were dropped off by a really beautiful woman,โ the caretaker answered honestly.
Josephโs brows knitted. โWhatโs her name?โ
The caretaker scratched her head, clearly confused, โI donโt know, sir. I asked, but she wouldnโt tell me. Just said it wasnโt important.โ
She was a straightforward person, not the type to lie. And now that Josephโs memory had returned, his expression alone was enough to intimidate her. He looked like a completely different man from before.
His frown deepened. โDo you remember what she looked like?โ
The caretaker tilted her head, trying to recall the details. After a moment, she gave up. โI canโt really describe it. Just that she was stunningโbreathtaking, like one of those fairies in legends. Tall, too.โ
Joseph already had a suspicion, though he hadnโt confirmed it yet.
Then the caretaker added, โOh, right! She had a very handsome man with her. Looked like her husband. They seemed really close.
โHonestly, the two of them togetherโฆ they looked like they were made for each other.โ
That single sentence confirmed everything in Josephโs mind. It had to be Aurora and Lucas. But what were they doing here? Especially Aurora. She was the one whoโd left him like this in the first place. Had she come to laugh at him now?
Joseph sneered coldly and glanced down at the supplements on the floor with a fresh wave of irritation. He tugged sharply at his tie, his voice turning icy. โThrow all of it away.โ
The caretaker froze, standing motionless, as if it took her a second to process what heโd just said.
