He kept silent for a long while and said nothing.
Irish thought Joseph had fallen asleep since he was lying there still without a movement.
"Hey, Joseph," Irish called him while patting him gently.
"We never met as a child," Joseph replied slowly.
Irish was at a loss as she heard this from Joseph.
Reaching out, she touched the scar in his arms, and when she was looking at it carefully, Joseph opened his eyes abruptly. He clenched her hands and then kissed gently, interrupting her from looking at it.
"You said that this scar was left when you saved someone else's life in your childhood. You saved a girl, right?" Irish asked.
"Do you really believe what I said?"
"Of course. It is unnecessary for you to tell a lie."
He fondled her fingers and then continued in a soft voice, "Don't take it seriously. This scar was left in the mine accidentally."
