Jennifer was very happy to see Kathy, knowing that Kathy had been very busy and hadn’t had the time
to call her.
“Sorry to trouble you, Bertie.”
“I was going the same way, Kathy. I will pick you up when I go to school tomorrow.” He said firmly.
Kathy frowned and said lightly, “No, I can go back by myself.”
Jennifer looked at her daughter’s cold expressions and sighed inwardly.
After Bertie left, she sat with Kathy on the sofa and asked with concern, “I heard a rumor that Joseph is
going to marry Ella. Is it true?”
“I… I don’t know.” Kathy’s expressions stiffen as she shook her head.
“Bertie’s feelings towards you look sincere.” Jennifer said solemnly.
“Mom, don’t say this again ever. I didn’t like him before, I don’t like him now and I will never like him
even in the future. Do you want me to marry him because his family is rich?” Kathy’s tone dropped with
her mood.
Jennifer paused for a bit.
Marrying him because his family is rich? The Booth family was strong enough now and they didn’t need
to so such things.
It was just that she didn’t want her daughter to still be thinking about Joseph.
“No, I don’t want that. Okay, you tell me what kind of person you want, and I will find him for you.”
“Mom, I don’t have any thoughts about marriage right now.” Kathy rubbed her weary eyebrows.
“I am going upstairs to rest.” She said and went up the stairs.
The next day, Kathy was woken up quite early by her phone ringing. It was from the hospital, asking
her to come immediately.
Today was Joseph’s first day at work. The hospital was understaffed and Kathy needed to temporarily
fill in for the doctor’s assistant.
“I…” Kathy froze.
Joseph’s assistant?
Since it was a request from the hospital, she couldn’t refuse and agreed to do it, and Mr. Waston
agreed on it too.
By working beside Joseph, she could learn more.
She scratched her head, feeling irritable, then she washed up and went out without having breakfast
with Jennifer.
Bertie was already waiting outside for her.
It was a long walk to the bus stop and she was in a hurry so she let him take her to the hospital.
“Sorry to bother you.”
“You came out earlier than I expected.” Bertie’s lips curled into a slight smile and then frowned, “Did
you not eat breakfast?”
“No. Take me to the hospital.” Kathy buckled her seat belt.
Bertie brought out a sandwich and milk from nowhere, as if conjured by magic. Kathy blinked, very
surprised.
“Eat it on the way, we will be there soon after you finish it.” He said and started the engine.
“Thank you.”
Just like he had said, as she finished the last of the milk, they reached the hospital.
Kathy practically ran into the hospital. Joseph had already arrived there a bit early. Kathy changed into
her white coat and came to the office.
Joseph was already in the clinic, he had a bunch of interns around him, vying to be his assistants.
Seeing Kathy, he asked her to come in.
“Sit down.”
Kathy’s head was buzzing, the stares of the people around her made her feel extremely uncomfortable.
They were envious, jealous and dissatisfied.
Soon, the work started.
Being busy gradually relaxed her. She soon forgot that the person besides her was Joseph.
They were busy all morning with no time for Kathy to rest. At around two o’clock Joseph finished seeing
all the patients. A nurse had already ordered lunch for them.
In the office, Kathy purposefully sat far away from Joseph.
Seeing that he was still reading the medical records intently, she frowned slightly.
The lunchbox besides him was basically untouched.
“Dr. Joseph, you should eat first.” She couldn’t help but say.
Hearing this, Joseph raised his eyes to look at her. Even though his face showed fatigue, his eyes were
still sparkling with energy.
“Come here beside me.”
Kathy frowned, not even listening to what he had said, she just began to fret.
She looked at the time, it was almost time for her to go back to school. She should have left by now.
Joseph called her, making her stop in her tracks, “You can sort out the details of these patients’
information. I will be using it in class on Friday.”
“That is not my job.” Kathy retorted.
“You are also my assistant now.” Joseph reminded her.
Kathy felt annoyed but she couldn’t refuse.
It was the dean’s order. Or she can’t be Joseph’s assistant…
After all, she just saw that many interns wanted the job, but he only kept her by his side.
“I will send it to you before Friday.” It was all Kathy could respond.
At this moment, Ella who was in a nurse uniform, came in the office. She saw Kathy there, her
expressions stiffening.
However, her expressions quickly returned to normal as she walked over to Joseph, “Joseph, I have
become a regular worker and I have applied to be transferred to you.”
Joseph’s face was indifferent throughout, he did not respond.
Ella bit her lips, turned around and quickly ran to catch up with Kathy who had already left.
She pulled out a wedding invitation from her pocket.
“My wedding with Joseph, do come if you have the time.”
Kathy frowned, not taking the invitation.
“Aren’t you afraid that I will come and destroy the venue?” She said coldly.
“No, destroying it is also a commendable skill.” Ella raised her eyebrows.
The current Ella was no longer the same as the one from a year ago; she had matured a lot.
Seeing her so changed surprised Kathy.
She used to think that Ella was just a child, but she looked more like a mature adult now.
“Take it. I don’t have any malicious intent. I just hope the wedding would be lively and fun.” She put the
invitation card in Kathy’s hand and quickly turned around and went back to Joseph’s office.
She was a little excited as she said, “I have checked all the preparations of the wedding with John.
Time flies so fast, we will be married in a week.”
Joseph’s expressions were dull as he replied, “Ella, is this what you really want? To marry someone
who doesn’t love you?”
He was straightforward and indifferent.
Ella was stunned. Of course, this was what she wanted.
As long as she can be beside him, it was enough.
She was going to slowly make him fall in love with her.
“Joseph, this has always been the only thing I wanted.” she said firmly.
Joseph pursed his thin lips, his eyes looked cold.
…
Final exams were getting closer. Kathy was busy running between the school and hospital. It was not
until Thursday morning that she sent him the sorted-out patients’ information that Joseph had
requested.
After sending him that, she received a call from Jennifer to join her for dinner in a restaurant in the
center of the city. As she came out after class, the Booth family’s car was already waiting for her.
She thought it was a dinner for two, she didn’t expect the table to be filled with people.
“Kathy, come and sit down. This is Mrs. Lloyd and this is her son Dylan Lloyd.”
“Hello.” Dylan extended his hand for a handshake.
Kathy’s expressions stiffened and it took her a while to move her own hand to shake his. She had been
so busy at school that she had forgotten to ask Jennifer what was the dinner for.
If she had known it was a blind date, she would have never come.
But now, she had no choice but to quietly sit down.
