As soon as I came out, he saw Norah crying heartbrokenly with the fish tank in her hands.
"Joseph, this goldfish has been with me for half a year. I can't bear to see it die."
Joseph's eyes were filled with pain.
"Hold on a little longer. Five hours ago, the doctor told me that we should just wait and that it would be fine soon. Once she finishes the test, I'll take you for a follow-up checkup."
I suddenly realized something.
Five hours ago, Joseph had already landed safely in Yoveet with the special medicine.
But he turned around and left mercilessly because of a phone call.
I thought he had something important to do.
It turned out that Norah's goldfish was sick.
Could it be that fifty-six lives were less important than a fish in Joseph's eyes?
"Is this why you abandoned our entire village?"
I questioned him.
But Joseph looked at me in disbelief.
"Mia, why are you so cold-blooded? Don't animals' lives matter?"
I was so angry that I almost laughed, but for a moment I didn't know how to refute him.
This was one of the countless ridiculous that Joseph did for Norah.
I closed my eyes, feeling an overwhelming sense of despair.
