"Joseph!" Kathy muttered and she pushed Joseph away.
Meeting Joseph's eyes, she saw the burning rage.
Joseph was angry.
"What's wrong...?" Kathy turned away.
"Don't stay too close with other men." After Joseph said that, he took her into the car.
Kathy was stunned. She did not get very close to other men.
Did Joseph mean Bertie?
Kathy recalled that she was leaning against Bertie's shoulder just now. But, it was an accident!
"I didn't." She muttered.
Joseph frowned and held Kathy in his arms.
Just now, one of his subordinates took a picture outside the ward. On the picture, she was leaning on
Bertie's shoulder.
Although Kathy pushed him away, Joseph was still not happy about that!
"So you know that?" Kathy looked at Joseph's tense expression. Her intuition told her that Joseph
minded what happened just now.
Joseph pursed his thin lips and didn't say anything.
"Let's go back to City N tomorrow, OK?" When he turned around, his expression became gentler.
"Are you done with your work?" Kathy asked.
She remembered that Joseph was going on a business trip for a week, but now only three days had
passed.
"Almost." Joseph looked at her with burning gaze.
Actually, it wasn't over. He just wanted to bring Kathy back to City N.
"Alright." Kathy nodded.
The next second, Joseph clenched Kathy's chin, and kisses fell on her.
Kathy hugged Joseph and leaned against him. This embrace was the only place where she could feel
most reassuring.
The next day, when Kathy woke up, there was no one beside her.
She was a little disappointed. She took out her phone and read the message that Joseph left her. He
still had some things to deal with in the morning, and he would meet her at the airport in the afternoon.
After Kathy finished replying, she checked the time and planned to visit Zofia.
Bertie was coming out of the ward when Kathy arrived at the hospital. They just came face to face with
each other.
"Kathy." He called her.
Kathy stopped.
"I know that you always feel guilty about Zofia's car accident. I was too extreme before. I know that this
has nothing to do with you." At this moment, Bertie's attitude was much better.
He knew about his younger sister's personality. In the early years, she loved Joseph so much that she
even became stubborn. She didn't want any other men, except Joseph.
If anything was related to Joseph, she couldn't remain calm at all.
"I'm just worried about Zofia." Kathy said indifferently.
"The doctor said that it was very possible for Zofia to wake up, so you don't need to worry. Just go
back." Bertie walked closer.
Kathy pursed her lips. Actually, she wanted to see Zofia, but obviously, Bertie didn't want her to go up.
She did not insist. Since she knew about Zofia's situation, she did not have to stay here.
"Where are you going? I'll see you off." Bertie asked gently.
"No need. I'll just take a taxi myself." Kathy smiled.
Kathy did not notice that someone was passing by in front of her when she turned around. Just as that
person almost hit her, Bertie came to support her.
Thus, Kathy fell into his embrace inevitably.
"Are you OK?" Bertie was so worried about her.
Kathy pushed him away and shook her head. However, Bertie was still grabbing her.
She tried to break away from his hands.
"I'm fine."
"Alright." Bertie also felt that he was too nervous and let go.
At the same time, a black car parked opposite the hospital. Joseph's handsome face was extremely
tautened.
"Mr Joseph, we're running late." John sounded nervous.
After a while, Joseph turned around and said in a low voice, "Prepare the private plane immediately."
The car quickly sped away.
When Kathy returned to the hotel to take her luggage, she finally saw the caller ID on her phone.
Joseph had called her twice an hour ago.
When she called back, it showed that the number wasn't in the service area.
She called John, and the result was same.
Were they on the plane?
Kathy rushed to the airport and got her boarding pass. After passing the security check and entering
the lounge, John finally answered the phone.
"Ms Kathy, Mr Joseph is in the Joseph Group now, so it's not convenient for him to answer the phone."
John hurriedly explained.
"I see. Why did he go to the Joseph Group? What happened?" Kathy asked with concern.
Something must have happened since Joseph returned in such a hurry.
John didn't tell Kathy too much. "Ms Kathy, it's the matter of Joseph Group. I'm sorry I cannot tell you
now."
"I see. When will Joseph be able to return home?" Kathy asked.
"Probably tomorrow."
After the phone call, it was almost time to board the plane.
At this time, Bertie called Kathy and she answered it.
"Kathy, can you come to the hospital? Zofia wakes up and she wants to see you."
"I'm going back to City N." Kathy frowned.
"Zofia is in a bad temper right now. I'm afraid that she will hurt herself. Kathy, if there's nothing urgent, I
hope you can come over." Bertie was almost begging Kathy.
Kathy paused for a moment. Indeed, she had nothing urgent to do. After returning to City N, if Joseph
was still busy, she did not need to go for the internship as will. She only needed to finished the
homework given by Professor Zane'.
"Alright, I'll be there later."
"Kathy, thank you."
An hour later, Kathy arrived at the hospital.
Bertie was smoking in the corridor smoking. When Kathy approached him, the strong smell of tobacco
made her uncomfortable.
"I'll go in first." Kathy frowned.
Bertie nodded. Looking at her back, he frowned.
Zofia was having an intravenous drip. She had just woken up, so she still looked very pale.
Seeing Kathy, she was very calm.
"I didn't expect you to care about me." Kathy couldn't feel any emotions in Zofia's words.
"Zofia, in my heart, you are always my friend." Kathy stopped.
Zofia showed a weak smile. "But I hate you."
"I know. But with or without your interference, Joseph and I will get married."
Hearing this, Zofia was still smiling and she even laughed out loud.
"You're really confident in yourself. If I hadn't lost my memory, I would have married Joseph a long time
ago. You'll never have the chance."
Meeting Zofia's resentful eyes, Kathy pursed her lips and clenched her fists.
She had always known that Joseph did not like Zofia.
However, it was not because of Joseph's affection for Kathy that they got married at the beginning.
It was just that he needed a wife.
Thinking of this, Kathy was upset.
"I don't know why Joseph chose you back then, but even now, I don't give up on him." Zofia swore.
The next second, Zofia suddenly removed the blanket. When Kathy saw her legs, she was stunned.
"I'm paralyzed. Do you think whether Joseph will be responsible for me?" Zofia's revealed a bitter
smile.
Kathy was already shocked. Zofia was paralyzed?
Did that mean that Zofia had to sit in a wheelchair for the rest of her life?
However, Zofia's medical career had only just begun. Such an accident was undoubtedly a heavy blow
to her.
