Chapter 1488
Tears fell on his hands. He felt painful. Many oaths could be said to be very pleased to hear, but the
reality was cruel. He was unable to always take care of her and protect her as he had promised.
The more he loved her, the more it would hurt her heart.
Alvina was only heartbroken for an instant. When she calmed down a little, she immediately wiped
the tears at the corner of her eyes andughed sorrowfully: "I was too narrow—minded, those
people who suffered from the disaster were all helpless. They need you to help them more. I was
still causing trouble here without reason. Joseph, I''m sorry, I just…The words just now …" She
wanted to say that those were not her true words, but he couldn''t say it. They were from the bottom
of her heart.
"I know, just don''t cry!" Joseph patted her cheeks, turned and grabbed a backpack, quickly tidied up
a few sets of clothes, and changed into a set of even thicker clothes. Only then did Joseph gently
look at her and said: "Alvina. I''m going. Go and find Zoey if you are in trouble. They will help you. "
"Mm, I''ll be very careful too!" Alvina nodded and followed behind him. He quickly walked down the
stairs and outside the main hall, his convoy quietly stopped.
Alvina was in a bit of a trance. The darkness outside the door was like a densework as if it
wanted to catch the person she loved and throw him into the void.
"You have to take care of yourself, give me a call!" When Alvina saw him to the door, the words that
gathered together there were only the simplest of warnings and concerns.
Joseph nodded at her, his thin lips revealing a smile.
Warren Hilton quickly got off the carriage and opened the door for Joseph. Then, he turned and
guaranteed Alvina: "Miss Miller, don''t worry, I will protect Sir and let him return safely!"
"Lieutenant, you have to take care of yourself too!" Alvina said sincerely.
"If you are free, then ask Zoey out. She has been working hard recently, and is unwilling to even
rest!" Warren Hilton thought about his girlfriend who was diligently improving and also had a
helpless expression.
"Alright, I will!" Alvina smiled as she replied.
Joseph bent over and sat in the sedan, with the door of the car shut. Through the window, he saw
the girl following him for a few steps but stopped in her tracks.
Alvina nkly watched the convoy until they disappeared into the distance.
The flight to the north was already prepared for departure, the convoy passed through the special
passage for the airport and stopped beside a huge ne. The elevator was already put down, and
Joseph and the rest stepped into the cold wind, stepping onto the ne especially for rescue.
After the ne flew up, Joseph sat in his seat and was discussing the relief operation with a few
important personnel when suddenly, a gentle female voice sounded out: "Mr. Vice—President, drink
a cup of tea, you can wake up!"
When Joseph heard this voice, his expression changed slightly. He turned to look and saw that
Victoria was actually smiling, gently and generously standing beside him, with several cups of hot
tea ced on the tray in her hands.
"Why are you here?" Joseph''s voice was light and did not express any dissatisfaction.
"I... I am a worker assigned by my superiors to join the rescue work together with you! " Victoria
replied anxiously.
Indeed, this time, the emergency rescue was temporarily organized. When Victoria heard about the
mission to travel with Joseph, she was extremely happy, and she, who was originally prepared to
get off work, immediately took a taxi to the airport.
Sure enough, she saw Joseph''s convoy appear in the darkness through the passenger window. Her
emotions were indescribably excited and happy.
When Joseph had boarded the ne, she had purposely not revealed herself. She was afraid that
Joseph would ask her to go home immediately just for her safety. When the ne had flown off, she
used this chance toe over and greet him.
Joseph''s eyes swept across Warren Hilton, causing his expression to freeze. He did not investigate
before. He didn''t know she was on the ne. He only knew that there were a few random staff
members, but he did not expect that she would be one of them.
"The frontline rescue mission is difficult. It''s rare for you to have such determination." Of course,
Joseph couldn''t kick her away at this time. Since they were still in the air, he could only give her
slight praise for her working attitude.
"Mr. Vice—President …"
"This is not the executive office, there''s no need to call me that. Just call me brother—inw, we''re
a family now!" Joseph immediately interrupted her and gave her a proper form of address.
Victoria did not expect Joseph to make her call him this. At that moment, she was a little dazed, and
the depths of her heartfelt as if a knife was being twisted, causing waves of pain.

"Oh, okay!" Victoria''s mind was nk. After a long time, she finally came back to her senses,
nodded her head as if she had lost her soul, turned around, and left in destion.
Joseph''s eyes shed with a hint of coldness, why was Victoria here, and why had hee to greet
him? This was a trap.
However, Joseph would not let them have their chance.
Victoria went back to her seat and sat down. She even forgot to buckle up her seat belt.
Victoria''s heart was aching. She wanted to die. Joseph made her call him brother—inw to prove
that he already treated Alvina as his wife?
At this moment, Victoria felt as if a thousand needles had stabbed into her heart, the pain was
unbearable. She even maliciously hoped that this ne would never return. At least, she and
Joseph could die together, this honor, Alvina did not have.
However, Victoria''s hopes were dashed. After a few hours, the nended in a very simple and
crude airport in the northern mountains.
When theynded on the ne, because they met a blizzard, because the ne met a strong gust
of air and had a very strong attack power, Victoria was shocked just now and didn''t dare to go and
die like this. Her face waspletely pale, and she wanted to run to Joseph''s side and ask for
comfort. However, she didn''t dare to do so in public.
Fortunately, the ne had stopped. The cabin door opened, and a bone—piercing coldness
assaulted their senses.
A —20 degrees Celsius cold swept through everyone. Everyone quickly put on their warm and
windproof equipment and followed Mr. Vice—President off the ne in an orderly manner.
"Brother—inw, I came in a hurry this time and didn''t bring many clothes. I wonder if you have a
coat to lend me?" What Victoria said was the truth, she did not have time to prepare to follow him.
At this moment, she only asked her colleague to borrow a down jacket for her, but it was far from
enough to keep her warm. She went pale from the cold, and with her entire body trembling, she
pitifully ran over to Joseph''s side to take care of him.
Warren Hilton immediately gave a signal to an aide—de—camp beside him. That aide—de—camp
immediately took off his jacket without a second word, and passed it to Victoria: "I still have some
spare ones, please use mine first. Sir still has a very important duty to take care of!"
Victoria''s expression changed, but it was too cold. She could only wear the jacket that the man
passed to her, it finally felt warm.
A few off—road vehicles were already waiting for him. When Joseph got in the car, Victoria was still
closely following beside him. Everyone knew that she was Joseph''s sister—inw. Naturally, no
one dared to nag anymore, they only envied her for having such a brother—inw by her side.
"Warren Hilton, call a car to take her to the nearest city area. Do the backup!" Joseph immediately
ordered Warren Hilton.
"Brother—inw, I don''t want to go to the city center. Bring me along, I promise that I won''t be
messing things up for you." Victoria was still rejoicing that she was about to go in the same car with
Joseph when she suddenly heard the order from the man.
"You are Alvina''s little sister and are also considered my family. This is considered my special care
for you, I can''t exin it to your grandfather if something happens!" Joseph did not give her a
chance to continue and directly closed the car door.
