After a short while, John bought a porridge with a light flavor to her. Only then did Kathy push Joseph
away, her cheeks slightly pink.
Bertie was no longer in the ward.
"Did you bring me here?" Kathy looked at Joseph.
"Yeah," Joseph responded, opening the takeaway box.
Kathy watched his moves, feeling extremely comforting.
She didn't dare to think about the consequences if Joseph hadn't found her...
But how did he know?
"Why did you come to the laboratory at that time?"
"I have to come over since there is an accident in the laboratory."
"What about the other colleagues?" Kathy asked with concern.
"They are all off work long ago." Joseph frowned.
Kathy fell silent. So someone should have kept her in the laboratory on purpose.
"Leave it to me. Eat something first." Joseph said warmly.
Kathy knitted her brows, gazed at Joseph, and tried to say something.
She thought that she could get rid of him, but there always seemed to be some accidents.
"Sorry, I caused you trouble," Kathy said in a low voice.
If this incident really happened because of her, it would probably cause trouble to the Joseph's Group
and even Joseph.
Joseph frowned and held Kathy's face, his face serious, "I'd rather you trouble me, but only if you are
safe."
She clearly saw the concern in Joseph's eyes.
She pursed her lips and did not make a sound for a long while.
She didn't quite understand what he meant.
"I'm all right now," she said.
"I can't bear it if anything should happen to you." Joseph let go of her.
He barely revealed his true emotions, except when he couldn't stand it anymore.
This time, they had already crossed the line.
Kathy was moved and asked in a quiet voice, "Do you still care about me?"
Joseph didn't answer. He just sat beside her, feeding her porridge bit by bit.
Kathy lowered her head and convinced herself that Joseph cared about her.
"You should go back. I can leave the hospital tomorrow." Seeing Joseph had not left after putting away
the things, Kathy looked at him.
"Okay." After he said that, he quickly left the ward.
Only one light was on in the ward, which was a little dark.
It was so quiet around that Kathy even heard her heartbeat clearly.
Actually, she didn't want to let him go.
But no one was clearer about their relationship than she was.
Tossing around, Kathy hadn't fallen asleep.
Joseph didn't leave, standing in the corridor outside.
...
As Julian listened to the report from his subordinates, his face became gloomy.
"Useless!" He angrily kicked the kneeling man away.
"I don't know how Joseph found out..."
Julian squinted. "As expected, he still cares about his ex-wife."
"She is in the hospital now. Maybe we can do it in the hospital?" The subordinate suggested.
"No, now Joseph must be more vigilant. We will be exposed when we go to the hospital."
"Emm..."
"Get out." Julian's face turned gloomy.
Behind him, Herbert walked to him.
"Now you should believe me, right? Joseph still love Kathy."
"Unexpectedly, my brother is so infatuated with her. It will be easier since I know his weakness," Julian
sneered.
"What are you going to do?"
"I have bought a lot of odd-lot now, and the stocks in my grandfather's hands have been transferred to
my younger brother long ago. But the shares in my hand have surpassed Joseph. As long as we stop
grandpa, I am sure I can throw him out."
"But now the Joseph's Group is in full swing. Joseph gets all the credit. I am afraid that shareholders
will not agree to let you be the president."
"Then I'll need your help."
Julian looked at Herbert.
...
...
In the hospital, Kathy didn't know when she fell asleep. When she woke up, Zofia was already by her
side.
"When did you come?" Kathy rubbed her eyes and looked at her dazedly.
"I just got here... Are you okay? Why are you in the hospital?" Zofia asked with concern.
Hearing that, Kathy fell silent. Then she said after a while, "I don't know what happened exactly.
Joseph's Group's laboratory was powered off, and I happened to be trapped there."
"What? How could such an accident happen to Joseph's Group?"
Zofia frowned and thought for a while, "Is it really an accident?"
"They're trying to find out now. I'm fine, don't worry." Kathy smiled.
Looking around, she saw no sign of Joseph.
Her eyes flashed with a feeling of loss.
"Didn't my brother come last night?" Zofia asked confusedly.
Kathy recalled that she seemed to have seen Bertie last night.
But after Joseph came, she didn't seem to see him anymore.
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door. Bertie came in with a takeaway box.
"You're hungry, right?" There was a gentle smile on his face.
Kathy's stomach just growled at this moment...
She hadn't eaten anything for a long time.
"Come on, eat something," Zofia smiled.
Outside, the black car stopped at the entrance of the hospital.
Joseph listened to John's report and knew that Bertie had bought Kathy food.
As for the lunch box next to him, he threw it directly into the trash can.
John looked at his boss unexpectedly...
This was the breakfast Joseph bought for Kathy after waiting in the queue for half an hour just now...
"Go back to the Joseph's Group," he ordered.
John nodded immediately and started the engine.
...
In the Joseph's Group, Amy, the head of the drug development department, came to the president's
office early. Joseph had thoroughly investigated what happened yesterday. And she would be the first
one to blame.
Seeing Joseph come into the office, she became even more nervous.
"Mr. Joseph."
Joseph's face was always cold. He was sitting on the sofa with his long legs crossed, which made
people feel intimidated.
"Explain."
Amy said with a pale face and bit the bullet, "What happened yesterday was after work. I didn't expect
that Kathy hadn't left yet."
"Who let her go to Lab 3?"
"Me..."
"Why?"
"We needed a reagent at that time. Kathy was helping me, so I let her go there. But I didn't expect that
she hadn't come out after a long time."
"Well, you can start the resignation procedures now," Joseph said coldly.
Hearing this, Amy's eyes suddenly turned red. "Mr. Joseph, I really didn't know about this. The power
outage in the laboratory was an accident. No one knew that Kathy was inside..."
"Since you are the person in charge, shouldn't you be responsible for the accident in the laboratory?"
Joseph said solemnly.
Amy felt so wronged, but she certainly couldn't refute what Joseph said.
As Amy left the president's office, Julian was coming out of the elevator and stopped when he saw her
looking like she was about to cry.
"What happened?"
"Mr. Joseph fired me, but I really don't know anything about yesterday..."
"Since it was Joseph's order, we can only blame it for bad luck. As for what happened yesterday, why
do I feel that Kathy did it on purpose?"
"What? You said it was Kathy..."
"I just made a wild guess." Julian curled his lips. "Don't you know that the relationship between Kathy
and Joseph is not simple?"
