In the evening, Kathy was informed to be back on duty at the hospital, as the intern who was originally
on duty was on leave. She had been on leave quite a lot before, so she happened to be making
amends.
As she toured the wards, Kathy’s footsteps stopped before the door at the end. This was Reece’s ward.
He was only there for one night, and it was not because of any big problems, so she decided not to go
in.
Yet Reece pressed on the bell, so Kathy went in.
“Mr Bridges,” she maintained her manners.
“Come here,” Reece frowned.
Kathy stood where she was, even looking at Reece she had a look of caution.
“I don’t want this needle in me, come help me take it out,” Reece waved his hand.
Kathy saw that the back of his hand still had a needle in it, so she walked over.
She helped him to take out the needle quickly and immediately gave his a piece of gauze to stop the
bleeding, pressing on the back of his hand she ordered, “Wait for five minutes.”
“Dr Kathy, sit here for a moment,” Reece’s tone was a little commanding as usual.
“Is there anything else, Mr Bridges?” Kathy frowned, her expression obviously showed that she was
unwilling.
“Yes, there is.”
“What?” There was impatience in Kathy’s eyes.
“Accompany me.”
Kathy was speechless.
“Have a good rest, Mr Bridges.” As she said so, Kathy slammed the door and left a little angrily. Reece
watched as she left, as a dark smile slowly grew on his lips.
At midnight, Kathy heard the bell calling. Seeing that it was Reece’s ward, she did not take heed of it.
But the bell kept ringing, and without other options, Kathy went over.
“Reece…” She was a little angry as she pushed the door to the ward open, but her voice immediately
went silent.
Reece actually vomited…
There was a disgusting odour in the ward, Kathy pinched on her nose and ordered for the cleaning lady
to come over. She walked towards Reece and helped his to get up. At this moment, Reece’s
complexion was very pale.
“What happened to you?”
“I was nauseous,” Reece frowned.
Kathy touched his forehead, he did not have a fever.
“Have you eaten anything just now?”
Reece shook his head.
“I’ll inject you with some anti-nausea medicine first.”
“I don’t need it, if you accompany me here, I’ll get better.”
“Reece, can you be serious!” Kathy glared at him.
“I’m always serious, I’m afraid that something might happen to me at any time, so if you’re here it would
be more convenient,” Reece said seriously.
“I’m not your personal doctor now, if anything happened to the patients in the surgical ward I would
have to go over any time.”
“The nurse will come to notify you.”
Kathy was out of replies for a moment, the nurse must have been mesmerised by Reece, for her to be
so obedient to him.
“I’m afraid that I might vomit again, I feel weak all over.”
“Then rest early, I won’t disturb you,” Kathy turned adamantly.
The next second, there was an intense sound coming from behind her, Reece… vomited again.
“This time you really have to get the injection.”
“I hate being injected!” Reece’s expression was taut, his entire aura was dark.
“If you don’t get injected, I won’t come to you tonight,” Kathy was angry too.
Reece was really… messing heavily with her job.
Hearing so, Reece squinted and his expression went colder. After a while, he replied slowly, “Alright.”
A few minutes later, Kathy took out the needle and watched as Reece closed his eyes, as if he was
going through a death sentence. Suddenly, she could not help but smile.
“Injections are not painful,” he was even more afraid than a child.
“It’s really painful,” Reece retracted his hand.
He opened his eyes, and found Kathy’s smiling face, and he was suddenly distracted.
She was wearing a white coat and was smiling at him gently, he had not forgotten this scene even after
years later.
“Get some good sleep tonight, you’ll be out of the hospital tomorrow,” Kathy finished writing the medical
report and said lightly.
“I would be able to fall asleep fast if you’re here,” Reece stared at her with his dark eyes.
Kathy did not look at him, and turned to walk out of the ward quickly.
Until the morning of the following day, when she was doing her last tour of the wards before signing off,
Reece was about to leave the hospital and his assistant came to pick him up.
“Off work? Want to leave together?”
“No thanks,” Kathy shook her head indifferently.
“I have to go over to Ocean University too, and I would be attending Professor Zane’s class today,”
Kathy raised her gaze and looked at him in disbelief.
She never believed that Reece would be this benevolent.
“I don’t want to trouble you.”
She only wanted to be far away from Reece.
Seeing the fear in Kathy’s eyes just now, he frowned, was he… so horrible?
Returning to the school, Kathy hurried to the classroom. She did not expect to actually see Reece, and
since she had come right on time, the only seat left was the one next to Reece.
She could only take the seat.
This was a combined medical class, Reece was taking it as an elective while for Kathy it was a core
subject. The students have to team up to complete the experiments.
But Reece was quicker and chose to be on a team with Kathy.
“Reece, I don’t want to be in the same team as you!” Kathy frowned.
“I have already submitted the name list. Relax, with me, this top student here, you will surely pass.”
“I would pass even if you’re not here,” Kathy mumbled.
“Didn’t you see the envious looks of everyone? It’s your honour to be able to be with me.” Reece’s tone
was proud.
Kathy naturally felt this, sitting beside Reece, she felt that she was already the common enemy of all
the girls.
“Unlucky,” Kathy was quite pissed off.
“Kathy, I still have two more years towards graduating. Even if you didn’t want to see me in these two
years, you would still have to see me.”
“You’re annoying enough, stop talking, start listening!” Kathy pulled a long face.
Professor Zane had already looked over here for multiple times, Kathy lowered her head and continued
to take notes seriously.
But Reece’s gaze kept landing on her.
Once the class was over, Kathy immediately left the classroom, afraid that Reece might follow.
Yet it seemed that she had overthought about it. After class, Reece was surrounded by a group of girls
and was too busy.
Kathy heaved a sigh of relief and went back to her dormitory to sleep. When she woke up it was
already night time, and she called Joseph.
“Are you at the Joseph’s Group or at the hospital?” Kathy had just woken up and her tone was low.
“I’m at the Joseph’s Group, after tonight, I’ll be back to seeing patients tomorrow.”
“Is the promotional event really halted?”
“Yes, but the research and development project is restored. But since time is short, so the research and
development is brought forward while the promotional event is postponed.”
“That’s good, is the Joseph’s Group affected much?” Kathy asked in concern.
“The Joseph’s Group is definitely not too well as of now,” Joseph frowned and did not hold back.
“Then you…”
“I’ll do what I’m supposed to do, Quinn will handle the affairs of the Joseph’s Group.”
“Then you have to remember to rest early, what time are you returning to Joseph Bay?”
“Later,” Joseph’s voice softened down.
“Your later would probably be the next morning, go back now, please?” Kathy cooed gently.
Joseph smiled lightly, “Alright, I’ll obey the future Mrs Joseph.”
Kathy smiled in satisfaction, “Good.”
