Joseph heard her words and frowned.
“Why?”
“I want to be an excellent doctor like you.”
“A doctor needs good mental qualities.”
“I will control my emotions.”
“If you can enter a medical university, then consider these questions again.” Joseph calmly said.
Veronica was a little angry that he didn’t trust her.
“Do you think I will fail?”
“Veronica, I hope you could think about it carefully before doing anything rather than impulsively.”
Actually Joseph believed her because they were very similar. If they decided to do something, they
must succeed.
So he hoped she could think it carefully.
Veronica heard his words and kept silent.
When she was young, her brother was her idol. She wanted to follow his footsteps to be a doctor.
She had this idea before but she didn’t have the courage to say it.
“I really want to be a doctor.” Veronica seriously said.
“Now I don’t have time to teach you. If you have made the decision, Quinn will come over and help you
with your lesson.”
Hearing the name “Quinn”, it drove Veronica crazy.
“No, don’t tell him. I can learn by myself.” Veronica was even nervous.
Joseph raised his eyebrow and said, “I don’t think there is a more suitable teacher than him.”
“I will learn by myself and I don’t need anyone’s help.” Veronica was stubborn.
“It is up to you.”
…
“Does Veronica hurt you just now?” Zofia worriedly looked at Kathy.
She was awakened by Veronica’s voice and explained to her just now so Veronica was not angry
anymore.
Kathy shook her head, “I am fine.”
“I am sorry to get you into trouble.”
“I’m the one who troubles you. Zofia, I don’t know you can’t let go…”
“Don’t worry. I am fine now and I am good at making accommodations for myself.” Zofia smiled.
Bertie came back soon. Zofia had finished her meal and she wanted to go back to school.
Bertie helped her go through the formalities and drove them back.
Bertie have arranged several cars to protect them in front of and behind the car and Zofia finally
relaxed.
“Kathy, please take care of Zofia.” Bertie urged.
Maybe it would be hard for Zofia these days.
“I see.”
“Bertie, you are wordy. I am really fine.”
“Call me at any time.” Seeing they went upstairs, Bertie left.
He looked gloomy and dialed the number. “I need to know what is everyone in the West family doing?”
Kathy went back to dormitory. She looked at the calendar. It was Monday and she should have handed
the courseware to Joseph.
But she procrastinated and didn’t finish it yet.
She would have classes all day tomorrow and she only had time to go to the Joseph's Group on
Wednesday morning.
But Joseph didn’t mention it too.
He was professor at all and she dared not disobey him.
After thinking, she decided to send the courseware to his mailbox so she didn’t need to hand it to him.
Kathy worked all night and finally finished the courseware in the morning. She wrote the message and
then sent it to Joseph’s mailbox.
But she didn’t receive Joseph’s reply in the next days.
On Friday she came to the classroom and heard several classmates beside her were discussing about
something.
“Professor Joseph won’t be here today. Is there a teacher substitute?”
“I think this class will not be available today and no one can take Professor Joseph’s class.”
“What’s wrong? Why isn’t Professor Joseph here?”
“I hear Professor Joseph is sick for several days and I really want to visit him.”
Kathy frowned. Was Joseph sick?
So he didn’t reply to her email.
“What’s wrong with him?” Kathy joined the discussion subconsciously.
“I don’t know. But my father works in the hospital. He says Professor Joseph is in hospital.”
“Which hospital?” Some classmates asked with concern.
“City Second Hospital”
“If no teacher will take the class, let’s visit Professor Joseph.”
“Kathy, will you go?” a classmate asked.
Kathy woke up from a daze and quickly shook her head. “I’m not going.”
It seemed that she had no position to care about him.
This class was cancelled. Was Joseph badly ill?
Kathy frowned and could not calm down.
City Second Hospital…
It was not far from the school. What about visiting him?
Half an hour later, Kathy stood at the gate of the hospital.
Many classmates have come to the hospital. She followed some of them and found Joseph’s ward
soon.
Kathy walked out of the elevator and stopped. She saw Veronica sitting on the wheelchair blocked all
the classmates a few steps outside.
“All of you come here to visit my brother. Are you his friends?”
“We are his students.”
“He needs rest. You guys can go back first.”
“But we are worried about Professor Joseph.”
Some classmates have brought a lot of nutritional products for him.
Veronica frowned, “But you will disturb him.”
“Ah…” Several classmates looked at each other and didn’t know what to do. “Could you please help us
pass the nutritional products to him?”
“Ok, thank you very much.” Veronica ordered the bodyguard to take it all.
The students gradually left and the corridor became quiet soon.
But Veronica already saw Kathy.
“Are you here visiting my brother?” Veronica asked.
Kathy bit her lips. She could leave just now but she could not move away.
…
“Come on”
“Is he alright?” Kathy nervously asked.
Joseph used to be healthy. Why was he ill and in hospital suddenly?
“He’s not dead.”
Kathy was speechless.
Was he seriously ill?
Kathy stood in front of the ward and felt scared.
She couldn’t help imaging Joseph was wrapped in gauze and it was difficult for him to get out of the
bed.
When Veronica opened the door, it was totally different from Kathy’s imagination.
Joseph was half lying on the bed with a laptop in front of him. There was no wound on his handsome
face and it seemed he was not injured.
What’s wrong with it?
Joseph was not surprised that Kathy came here. He looked at her and smiled.
“Why do you come here?” he gently said.
Kathy hesitated and said, “I hear you are ill.”
“Who tells you?”
“My classmates”
“Hum.”
He didn’t look like a wounded one and Kathy frowned.
“Where are you hurt?”
“Do you worry about me?” Joseph looked at her.
“No, I don’t.” Kathy denied subconsciously.
“Then why you come here?”
Kathy kept silent because she didn’t know the reason too.
Maybe she was obsessed.
