"Yes. My brother Derrick, who was born out of wedlock... His mother did not marry my father... My mother cfrom a famous
family, and after | was born, my father naturally madethe heir. For my brother Derrick, although he did not have to worry about
food and clothing, and they also got him a job in the Henderson Group, my father never mentioned that he should inherit the
family business. My brother, who had a strong personality since childhood, could not tolerate my father's bigotry and eventually
took the plunge and tried to kill me."
Justin finished, his thin lips pursed, pulling Joyce's hand towards himself.
"Joyce, | actually owe you a lot. I'm the one who made you suffer. | want to make up for all of this. Believe me, now | have changed
a lot. | will take care of everything and will never let you suffer half again." His sincere eyes, earnestly looking at Joyce, expected to

Joyce recalled at this time, not long ago she saw the news on TV.
"It is reported that the Henderson family bank recently underwent a major personnel restructuring, the former head of the
Henderson family Derrick retired from his position, and the second son of the Henderson family would take his place as the CEO."
It seemed that the Henderson family had settled this internal feud, with Derrick taking a back seat and Justin taking the reins. No
wonder, Justin was moving from the backstage to the front.
"Then how about your leg ...?" Joyce asked and then fell silent once again. She did not want to know too much about the family
affair of the Henderson family.
Justin saw that she never said anything and continued, "I'm sorry, | know you've been running around and working to raise money
to cure my leg. It's my fault that | gave up on myself and got discouraged. In fact, in the past two years, Derrick has been watching
our movements. He knew that you were seeking medical treatment, so he had been setting up obstacles for you. In fact, my legs
had long met the conditions for surgery, it was him who had been secretly making all the troubles for you."
"At that time, | suddenly disappeared at St. Maria Hospital, and | knew that this incident hit you hard and must have hurt you
deeply, because | knew only too well how much work you put into this. I'm sorry, that was not my intention. At the time, | was
kidnapped by Derrick, who didn't wantto have the surgery, so he sent someone to do that."
Justin simply told her the whole truth all. It had been hard for him to have this chance to sit down and talk with Joyce.

"You were kidnapped by Derrick?" Joyce whimpered; she could not have imagined something like that.
She always thought that Justin was angry because he saw her with Luther and knew that she was "married" to him, so he
disappeared on purpose and refused to have the surgery. It turned out that he was kidnapped.
"Yes. | lost my phone too, so | haven't been able to contact you again." He sighed softly, with endless regret.
"No wonder | couldn't reach you no matter how much | searched or how much I called." Joyce finally felt relieved at this moment.
She had always thought that she had made Justin desperate and that he had refused to have the surgery.
She felt a sense of relief instead when she knew it was not because of her.
