Joseph knew he had lost her.
There was disappointment in his heart as well as despair.
He never knew that when he saw Isabella in someone else's arms, his heart would hurt so much.
The last time she called him for help, he failed to help her. Maybe she was hurt by that. Or perhaps she had never liked him at all. He was no longer in her mind. She wouldn't ask for his help this time. She would never trust him again!

Joseph looked down at her, his eyes full of sadness as if asking, "Was it over? Isabella? Was it over between us?"

Joseph's eyes lit up, and his whole body was trembling. Then, almost at the same time, he pushed Cedric away and bent down to pick up Isabella. "Isabella, I'm here!"
