111 Joseph the Donkey
Isabella felt her entire body started to heat up.
Isabella cleared her throat.
She pretended to be calm. Then she reached out to feel Josephâs face and said, âWe canât just sit here. You need to take the medicine.â
âNo, donât leave me!â Joseph panicked like a child.
Isabella felt that Joseph, who was so obedient, was really cute. Normally, it was rare to see this side of him. Suddenly, some vulgar thoughts arose in her mind. She hooked Josephâs chin and teased, âYou handsome boy, how about you and me go get the medicine together?â
Looking at the cute Isabella, Joseph revealed a pure smile and said, âOkay!â
âThen get up and carry me downstairs.â Isabella was super happy.
Joseph immediately stood up obediently and lowered his back for Isabella to come up.
Isabella jumped onto his back, grabbed a thin belt, and said, âRun! Joseph the donkey!â
.....
Isabella might lose her mind too.
Outside the manor, Gerry hurried over with six men in black. William, who was hovering at the door, hurriedly said, âYouâre here! Help! Miss Isabella is inside!â
âMr. Joseph dragged her into the room?â
Gerry frowned and suddenly became serious. âYou tell Doctor Morris to be prepared. Perhaps he has to save Miss Isabella later. The maid who didnât run away last time almost be strangled to death by Mr. Joseph.â
As he spoke, he moved his neck and wrists, and gave a command, âKeep quiet! Remember to carry Miss Isabella out first when we got in!â
âYes, sir!â
Gerry gathered his strength and pushed the door open. But as soon as he stepped into the door, he stopped. The bodyguards behind him couldnât help but bump against his back.
In the hall on the first floor, Isabella was lying on Josephâs back. She picked up a large and fresh cherry with chopsticks and waved it in front of Josephâs head. âTurn left quickly, Joseph the donkey. If you do it right, you can have the cherry!â
Joseph kept reaching out for the cherry with his lips like a bullied child, âHurry up and give it to me.â
Isabella laughed happily. The two of them just happened to turn around and saw Gerry.
Isabella dropped the chopsticks.
She looked at the shocked Gerry and William and the bodyguards at the door. She reacted quickly and immediately tilted onto Josephâs shoulder. She rolled her eyes and said, âI have a fever too.â
Everyone at the door was speechless.
Five minutes later, Joseph was forced into bed by Gerryâs bodyguards.
At this moment, he was not adorable at all. He roared and struggled violently like a different man.
Doctor Morris nimbly stuffed a ball of gauze into his mouth to prevent him from biting himself, and then injected him with some medicine to bring down the fever.
âMiss Isabella, itâs getting late.â
After the injection, William suggested to Isabella respectfully, âGerry and the others are here to take care of Mr. Joseph. You could go back and rest now.â
âOkay.â
Isabella nodded. Looking at the desperate look on Josephâs face, she couldnât help but ask, âIs he this terrifying every time he has a fever?â
âYes, it has been like this since he was very young. As long as the fever makes him lose his rationality, itâs difficult to control him.â
âIs this a kind of disease?!â Isabella was puzzled.
âNo.â
William smiled and changed the subject. âIn short, you are really special to Mr. Joseph. He was very gentle to you just now.â
Isabella was shocked.
She didnât want to admit how she had treated Joseph âgentlyâ just now. She hurriedly changed the topic and said, âThen you guys take good care of him. Iâll leave first.â
âYes, we will tie Mr. Joseph to the bed later. No matter how hard he struggles and howls, we will not let him go. Therefore, you can just take a rest.â
William said sadly.
Just as Isabella was about to turn around and go downstairs, she stopped and said in surprise, âAre you going to tie him up all night long? Havenât you already given him an injection?â
William shook his head, âWe canât untie him unless he is cured. Itâs Master Wilsonâs order.â
Then, he sighed. Tears were about to drop, âMr. Joseph is truly pitiful. Every time, a mark will be left on his wrist.â
âHeâs so pitiful.â
Isabella recalled that when the bodyguard separated Joseph from her just now, Joseph was anger and despaired. Isabella hesitated for a moment before she asked. âSince he doesnât hate me, how about I take care of him tonight? That way, thereâs no need to tie him up.â
âReally? Miss Isabella!â
Before Isabella could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by William, âYouâre so kind! I didnât have the nerve to make such a rude request to you. I didnât expect you to come up with the idea yourself.â
As William spoke, tears began to roll down his cheeks.
Isabella was somewhat speechless.
âShe felt that the butler did this on purpose. His little performance and his words implied that he hoped that she, Isabella, would stay and take care of Joseph.â
âHeâs an operator!â
âAlright, you guys wait downstairs. Iâll go up myself.â
âDonât forget to help Mr. Joseph change his sweaty clothes.â
Isabella went upstairs again and let Gerry and the others leave before jumping onto the bed.
âYou poor thing, I come to untie you.â
Josephâs bed was king size. Isabella knelt beside the bed and untied Joseph while teasing him, âDid you miss me? They all bullied you, didnât they?â
Ever since Joseph saw Isabella coming over, he became quiet. He stared at Isabella with his pitch-black eyes motionlessly.
Isabella removed the gauze from Josephâs mouth and held his face, âMy handsome boy, I am your savior. After I untie you later, you are not allowed to bite or hit me.â
As Isabella said, she smoothly untied Joseph. As soon as Joseph regained his freedom, he immediately hugged her like a bullied child, âDonât go.â
âIâm here.â
Isabella enjoyed touching Josephâs fluffy head. âI never thought that Joseph could be so pitiful and cute. I really feel sorry for him. Alright, itâs time for you to go to sleep.â
Joseph didnât want to go.
âI wonât leave.â Isabella comforted him and said, âIâll keep you company tonight.â
âCome cuddle me on the bed.â
âYou wonât bite or hit me?â
âI wonât.â
âAlright then.â
Isabella took out a cooling patch and put it on Josephâs forehead. âFor the sake that you are a patient, Iâll just cuddle you to sleep! Rest now! My handsome boy!â
Joseph looked at Isabellaâs smiling face with a good temper and pulled her into the quilt. Finally, he slowly closed his eyes.
