There was a sound of fighting outside the door. The sound of gunshot and screaming mixed together.

Vincent was shocked, and he hastily shouted, "Kill them now!"

However, as soon as he finished shouting, he was shot down. He fell down to the ground and went dead.

Everything quieted down.

Leo was lying on the ground since he was exhausted, while Joseph was also seriously hurt.

Irish gazed at Vincent, who lay on the ground in stillness. She held the gun and shivered with her face pale. Joseph staggered to her and embraced Irish.

Irish was so frightened that she looked bemused. "I killed him. I killed him just now. He was going to shoot you…" Irish said in a shaky voice.

Joseph took a glance at Vincent and found there was a gun in his hand. "Irish, you didn\'t kill him. You didn\'t," Joseph comforted her.

Irish shook her head violently and insisted on saying, "No, it\'s me. He is a jerk. He ruined me. It really hurt! I am going to kill him!"

"Irish!" Joseph held her face with his bloodstained hands. "Listen to Me, Irish. You did nothing wrong! You didn\'t kill him. Remember that?"

Irish looked at him and then burst out in tears. "Joseph, why would this happen? Why?"

Joseph fondled her cheeks, but he refrained himself not to kiss her. He wanted to smile, and his lips trembled slightly. His heart was broken. Joseph took over the gun from Irish and wiped her fingerprint. "Irish, you have to remember what I told you. You didn\'t kill anyone. It\'s me. I killed Vincent," Joseph urged Irish again.

He stood up as soon as she finished his sentence.

Irish was lying on the bed when she was awake while Jay was sitting beside her.

"Where is Joseph?" asked Irish as soon as she opened her eyes.

"Irish," Jay looked at her and said, "Joseph will be charged. He was not allowed to bail during this period."

"You think it is Joseph who killed Vincent?" Irish got agitated.

She looked outside blankly and grumbled, "It\'s me. I killed Vincent. I should be put into prison, but not him."

Jay looked serious and remained silent for a while. "Irish, you have to take care of yourself. The doctor said you are pregnant now."

"Don\'t tell him. He will be worried about me."

"If you are really curious about my life in prison, then you come to have a try," said Joseph with a smile.

Leo burst out laughing and replied, "I have brought over the staff here, and you can tell them what you need."

"Leo, don\'t come to meet me," said Joseph in a casual tone.

After a small pause, he then added, "How\'s Irish doing recently?" Joseph refused to meet anyone after he was put in prison, including Irish and his younger brother Jordan, because he was afraid that Irish would be grieved for him. No matter how Irish pleaded, he declined her every time. Gradually, Irish gave up since she understood Joseph was doing it for her own good.

It was in the autumn four years later. The air was cool while the leaves had turned yellow. The sun was hanging over the sky. The trees on both sides of the prison rustled. But several luxurious cars were parked along the road.

Leo leaned against his car, looking at the closed prison gate. He looked a little bit nervous, and his lips repressed into a thin line. Roy, Jay, and Jordan were also waiting there, all looking serious.

Half an hour later, the gate opened gradually, and their eyes shone with light.

When Joseph finally walked out of prison, a leaf happened to fall down slowly. Everyone let out a long sigh and turned to be pleased to meet him again.

The gate closed slowly behind him, and when Joseph was about to look back, Leo shouted at him, "Don\'t look back." 

The tradition said people should not look back at the gloomy past.

Looking at his friends waiting for him nearby, Joseph felt relieved. He looked around but didn\'t find his beloved woman. Joseph was getting depressed because he was not sure if Irish was still mad at him. However, when he was about to withdraw his eyes, a woman showed up at the street corner elegantly. She wore a smile, and the sunlight was pouring on her face. To Joseph\'s surprise, she brought a little adorable girl with her. The little girl had a ponytail with a doll in her hand. Joseph felt his heart was going to jump out his throat soon when he found the little girl looked very much like him. 

At this moment, Joseph was startled and felt he found a shocking secret. 

Irish crouched down and gently whispered into the little girl\'s ear. "He is your dad. Go and give him a warm, big hug."

The little girl nodded and released herself from Irish\'s grasp, sprinting towards where Joseph stood. Irish straightened up and walked over to Joseph as well.

As the little girl came to a stop, Joseph crouched down, beaming at her with tears in his eyes.

"Daddy... Daddy." A soft voice carried through the air as she lifted her tiny face, smiling at Joseph.

Their friends who surrounded them cleared their throats, their own tears almost choking them as they witnessed the tender moments between Joseph and his little daughter.

Joseph lifted his daughter, and she wrapped her tiny arms around his neck, giving him the sweetest kiss.

In response, Joseph reciprocated with equal enthusiasm, eliciting giggles from his daughter. "What\'s your name, little princess?"

"Scarlett... Scarlett Dover," her voice was charmingly sweet.

Irish stood before them, her eyes brimming with tears.

At that moment, Joseph leaned forward and drew Irish towards him, embracing her while still holding his daughter. He tenderly planted a kiss on Irish\'s cheek.

"Honey, welcome back to the outside world," Irish whispered, enveloping Joseph and their daughter in her arms.

Leo cleared his throat, interrupting the moment. "I think we should head home first. We\'ve prepared your favorite foods."

Jay, Jordan, and Roy approached them and gently patted Joseph\'s shoulder.

After four long years apart, they were finally reunited. Joseph smiled at them, and together they walked side by side.

Time had flown by, and Joseph had returned to the world outside, filled with joy and happiness, thanks to the precious gift his beloved had given him, a gift he had longed for.

Joseph realized that the obstacles that once stood between them had vanished, and they were now ready to embrace a bright future.
