Mathew was waiting in the living room until mid-night.
The worried Veronica also stayed with Mathew.
Finally, there was someone walking near the door from the outside. Joseph was home now.
She called, “Joseph!”
Joseph had a frown and walked to them.
Matthew looked at him unhappily.
He gave Joseph a hard hit with his crutch when Joseph was near him.
Matthew shouted, “What are you doing? You plan to marry Ella. Why not tell me?”
In fact, he spoiled Joseph so badly that seldom got angry with him.
But now he was irritated too much!
Joseph did not avoid the hit, just saying, “Now you know it.”
“Please give me a reason. Why did you decide to marry her?”
Joseph got along very well with Kathy for some time; now he decided to marry Ella!
Matthew did not believe that he was also the one who failed to know the truth.
Obviously, Joseph would not like to talk more about it, “Grandpa, I will explain to you another day.”
Matthew was not satisfied with his answer after waiting long time.
He said angrily, “No, Joseph, give me a reason now!”
“No comments.” Joseph only left the two words and went back to his own room.
It caused Matthew angrier to throw away his crutch.
Veronica looked at Matthew and then had a look at Joseph. What happened?
She held Matthew to go upstairs to sleep. After Matthew getting eased, she went to Joseph’s room.
Joseph did not open the door for her even though she kept knocking at the door.
Veronica pouted lips and wondered why Joseph acted like this.
Joseph was in his room to finish a shower. He got an old photo with his fingers to watch a young lady in
a white dress on it.
He was almost losing his mind so that he tried to control himself.
However, he still kept thinking about how Kathy looked at him today. She was innocent, devoted… at
last, she appeared to be totally careless.
…
At school, Kathy got informed by the principal to rush to his office.
The patient was safe, which led the family members not to investigate the responsibility further. So, the
hospital would not take any responsibility.
Yet it still did harm to the reputation of the Ocean University.
The principal seriously watched the sitting nicely student here.
He said, “Kathy, some evidences support it’s not your fault; the hospital stopped to investigate the
accident. So, you can get back to school.”
Kathy gave a smile with the result and said, “Thank you so much for allowing me to study further.”
She knew a lot of people had singled her out since she was admitted by the university. She had lost the
hope of studying in the university. The result fell out of her expectation.
The principal did not talk much, just saying, “Please well-behaved from now on. Ok, talk finished.”
Kathy nodded and left; just now, she saw Mr. Fisher walking to the office.
When meeting Kathy, he looked unhappy as normal and said with sneer, “I’ll wait and see how lucky
you will be.”
Kathy stopped to reply, “Mr. Fisher, I will not leave the Ocean University so easily.”
Mr. Fisher said coldly, “Who knows?”
In the office, Mr. Fisher sat on the sofa while the principal kept frown.
Mr. Fisher started to say, “The term ends.”
The principal pinched the middle of his eyebrows, “Yes. But Kathy surprised me a lot. I have never
expected Joseph to do so much for his ex-wife. I remember Kathy is his ex-wife. Actually, I am not
interested in anything about their relationship. It is the boss allowing Joseph to have his fellows here.
We cannot push Kathy to leave school anymore.”
Mr. Fisher said unhappily, “You say we have to keep her?”
“Take it easy. We still have three years.”
…
Knowing Kathy would not leave school, Zofia asked her to have a celebration.
During these days, Zofia was worried as well. But Kathy should worry about herself much more.
Kathy did not get happy for the fact that Mr. Fisher tried to do something against her and it would be the
same difficult for her in the future.
Zofia asked her carefully, “Kathy, you still have Joseph in your heart?”
Only the man could hurt her so badly.
Kathy shook her head when hearing Zofia’s question.
She said calmly, “Joseph will get married. I have nothing to do with him.”
Zofia remembered now, “Married? Ella?”
It was so soon for them to get married…
“Yes.”
Zofia was silent for a while seeing how miserable and disappointed Kathy was now.
As a result, Bertie should have a chance?
She told Bertie the news of Joseph getting married soon.
“Well…There Will be Another Man to Love Me!” Kathy smiled bitterly and then boldly ordered a dozen
of beers with the menu.
Zofia looked at Kathy surprisingly to say, “Hey, I cannot drink much. All for you?”
“Sure. For me!”
At the moment, she could feel much better only with enough alcohol.
Zofia was nervous to see Kathy drinking the beer continuously. In daily life, Kathy was always a polite
and gentle lady who was not expected to drink so much.
What if Kathy was drunk? She was unable to move Kathy back by herself…
Zofia had to call Bertie for a hand.
Kathy almost finished a dozen of beers. Zofia held her and listen to her mumbling, “Why do I love
you…I have to stop… Joseph, it’s all I asked for! I asked for it!”
Zofia was some of heartbroken looking at the miserable Kathy, but failed to do anything to help her.
She only stayed with Kathy and said something to let her feel better, “It’s ok. If I knew it happened, I
would introduce my big brother to you earlier. At least, I believe Bertie was much more reliable!”
Bertie was here soon to see Kathy’s hangover and lying in Zofia’s arms. He was much annoyed.
He had never seen Kathy not well-behaved as she was now.
She should only act like this for Joseph.
Bertie looked down and carried Kathy in his arms. Zofia rushed to follow him, “Bertie, thanks for your
help.”
Bertie had a nod and then took Kathy back to his apartment instead of her dorm in school.
He prepared some soup for Kathy and took it to the room. Kathy was lying on the bed with too blush on
her cheek. She was mumbling something that Bertie tried to hear it closely; finally, he heard the name
he extremely hated.
Bertie turned to be disappointed.
He controlled his temper and held Kathy to get up gently.
Bertie said, “Open your mouth please.”
Kathy shook her head and pushed away the bowl in Bertie’s hand.
She was displeased to say, “No…Leave me alone.”
The bowl fell on the ground to break off. Bertie had a frown and took a deep breath, going to get
another soup.
Kathy laid on the bed again to fall asleep.
Bertie stood by the bed to watch the sleeping Kathy who appeared to be more peaceful than she was
awake just now.
He got a wet towel to clean her face, set the right temperature and covered a blanket for her. He left the
room and stood outside silently.
