When Fanny heard that Joseph was free, she was ecstatic. She did not lose any time in getting in touch with James to find out when he would be coming back to Riverdon. James had told her before that he would come back once Joseph was free.

Fanny’s eyes were beaming with anticipation. After removing the evidence that had ended up in Kaydron’s possession, she was able to leave for Riverdon.

“It’s true, of course,” said Scarlet. She was compelled to stress, “There was never a mistake with Joseph! It was time for him to be freed

sooner.”

She was convinced that Joseph had not harmed Angela at all during the whole affair. Joseph’s arrest had left her heartbroken. She wished. she could forget about his false arrest now that he was free. She was desperate to get Joseph back home since she felt bad for him.

Scarlet was walking quickly, her feet going fast. She walked a few steps. and saw that Fanny was still. She pushed her to move, saying, “Come on, Fanny, let’s pick up Joseph with Mom.”

Fanny abruptly snapped out of her reverie and followed Scarlet’s example, saying, “Okay!”

After Joseph got home, they could arrange to go back to Riverdon. In a hurry to go to the police station, they left the residence. In the meantime, Joseph was perplexed by the police officers‘ blank expressions and actions.

“These are the things you own. Grab them. The officer shoved

After observing his dazed and disoriented condition, the officer led him to a chair in the waiting room. He sat him down and said, “Just wait here.”

He turned to go after that.

Joseph murmured, “Can I leave now?” in a fog.

His expectations and dreams had been lowered by his days in incarceration, from which he was still recovering. When he was freed, he felt numb and could not respond.

His question caused the officer to pause, then say, “Yes, you can leave. now if you wish.”

Actually, Joseph would not have needed to notify his family when he was released if his condition had been better. Once he was free, he might have easily called out to them. But when they learned of his release, Joseph’s incredulity and unwillingness to comply forced them. to step in and arrange for his departure. Joseph stood at the door, staring straight ahead despite their best attempts to talk him into it.

They called his family since, despite being out, it was clear he was not in his right mind.

Fortunately, after being given clothing and having some things taken, he was persuaded to leave. Even now, Joseph continued to attempt to explain his release.

Joseph raised the unexpected question, “Was I wrongly arrested before?,” which startled the police after they had told him he was free. and advised him to go right away. Does Angela have any accountability?”

He made eye contact with the officer, emotional, as though the question was really important.

“What do you mean?” the officer said, seeming perplexed. Joseph mentioned Angela, and the police needed to be made aware of her, not completely comprehending.

Joseph seized the officer’s hand and said, “Doesn’t she have to face the consequences?“, unfazed by the uncertainty. She was the reason I was wrongfully arrested!”

His eyes glowed with malice as he said.

Over the past few days, Joseph’s thoughts had been racing through his. cell. Although there was no physical mistreatment throughout his incarceration, the emotional suffering he went through was

unbearable. At first, all he could hope for was the quick rescue of his family. Nevertheless, when the days stretched into weeks and he saw James‘ repeated displays of powerlessness, hopelessness engulfed him.

It dawned on him that James, whom he had always thought to be unbeatable, was not going to be of assistance this time. It was the first time he had ever seen James so helpless, and the Kins Family in

Riverdon might not be supremely powerful, but they certainly would not be so docile.

He felt terrible and helpless, and he could not help but hate Angela

when he saw James’s face of frustration. He was certain that Angela had to be the one holding him back. So he swore in his silence that he would make her regret it if he could escape.

It was increasingly difficult for Joseph to control his wrath the more of it he felt. “I am going to make her regret all she did to me.

The officer retreated immediately as he saw Joseph become more and more upset, even reaching out violently. Luckily, he moved back in time, preventing Joseph from being able to touch him. But after failing to make his grab, Joseph got increasingly angrier and tried to grasp anything to calm himself down. Recognizing the threat, the officer had to put him in restraint.

Joseph fought a few times even while he was pinned down, but he was unable to extricate himself despite his best efforts.

“Joseph!” There was a nervous, frantic voice coming from outside, and there were fast approaching, rushed footsteps.

It was none other than Fanny and Scarlet, accompanied by another policeman.

“What are you up to? How are the police able to use force?

Scarlet’s already thin and harsh voice seemed even more irritating in her nervous state. She let out a yell and hurried to remove the policeman holding Joseph. Fanny, who was beside her, moved quickly to help. Scarlet’s remarks appeared to surprise Joseph, as he stopped. struggling.

When the policeman noticed Scarlet and Fanny getting closer, he was unsure of how to step in. Observing Joseph more composed, he

merely let go of him.

“Joseph.” With a smile and tears in her eyes, Scarlet took Joseph by the arm and said, “Joseph, let’s head home.” Our goal is to get you back home.”

She tried to take Joseph by the arm, but no matter how hard she tried, she was unable to move him. Joseph sat there on the ground,

motionless and dejected.

With haste, Fanny knelt before Joseph and spoke, “Joseph, we’ve come to take you home.”

Seated on the ground, Joseph stared at them in a stupor before asking in a raspy voice, “Fanny?”

“Joseph, it’s me.” Fanny approached Joseph and softly called out to him.
