"Why?" Benjamin asked imdiately, "Did sothing happen between you and Mr. Ashton?"
Benjamin didn’t want to ask too bluntly.
After all, Joanna was already married.
So questions were not suitable to be asked.
"Dad, actually, I don’t rember that either." Joanna didn’t intend to hide it from Benjamin, "He said I saved his life. That was the night ten years ago when you took to his birthday party. He accidentally fell into the swimming pool, and I saved him."
"Then he always considered to be his lifesaver, and he wanted to repay ."
Upon hearing this, Benjamin looked shocked and extrely surprised.
"You saved Mr. Ashton?"
"I don’t rember." Joanna pursed her lips, "I don’t rember anything about that night. So, I don’t know if what he said is true."
"I see." Benjamin finally nodded in understanding, "No wonder he kept asking about that night. I’ve been guessing, but I couldn’t figure out what he really wanted to ask. It’s normal that you don’t rember that night, as it’s related to your car accident later."
"You don’t rember many things from that year. The doctor said you might have lost so of your mories from that year. Since he said he saved you, it should be true. He wouldn’t lie about this kind of thing, as it wouldn’t benefit him."
"No wonder he helped the Lawrence family so much. It turns out he wanted to repay your kindness."
No wonder Joanna wasn’t very polite while talking to Frank Parker earlier, and Frank didn’t seem to be angry at all.
"Yeah, maybe that’s the reason." Joanna looked at her father and thought for a mont before saying, "Dad, why didn’t you tell about the issues you had with your company? If you encounter any problems in the future, you must tell , okay?"
"We are a family, and I can handle it now. I can help you sort out those issues. Mr. Parker is...although he’s nice, he is an outsider after all. If we can solve our problems ourselves, we should not trouble outsiders."
"After all, owing soone a favor isn’t a good feeling."
Benjamin thought about a few things before nodding after a mont of silence, "Okay, I understand. The company did have so problems during that period, and a lot of capital investnt was needed. I didn’t tell you because I didn’t want to burden you. Fortunately, everything is fine now, and the company is running normally."
"In any case, if you have any problems in the future, you must tell ." Joanna reached out and held Benjamin’s hand, looking into his eyes, and said earnestly, word by word, "Dad, I will always be your daughter, and you can always rely on . No matter what relation I have with the White family now, we will always be father and daughter, and this relationship will never change."
Benjamin had suddenly lost two family mbers, and he must be feeling very lonely now.
That’s why Joanna needed to express her position in front of him.
She wanted to give Benjamin a sense of security.
Instead of making him feel like he had no one left by his side and that he was all alone.
Joanna knew all too well how painful this kind of feeling was.
When her mother and maternal grandmother passed away, she was extrely saddened.
At least back then, she had Jeremy by her side.
