Joseph raised his eyes with a cold smile.
"Alright."
After delivering all the necessary information, he left the ward immediately.
A little embarrassed, Kathy subconsciously chased after him.
However, Joseph had already entered Ella's ward. Kathy didn't want to see Ella, so she gave up the
idea of walking in.
Today was Ella's birthday. Maria sent people as early as possible to decorate the ward, which looked
much lovelier than usual.
Seeing Joseph coming in, Ella smiled radiantly.
"Joseph, can I have pizza later?" Ella looked at him with bright eyes.
Joseph frowned, "Not the spicy ones."
"Then I'll order now." Maria was also in a good mood today.
However, the moment she stepped out of the ward, a displeasing figure entered her view.
Reece was walking towards the ward with a cake and a gift box. Maria stopped, "What are you doing
here?"
"I won't miss my sister's birthday." Reece said with fake warmth.
Anger seized Maria. She knew that Ella did not want to see him.
"Reece, don't make problems for me." Maria reminded.
"What problem can I make?" Reece smiled coldly.
With that, he walked into the ward.
Ella wouldn't leave Joseph alone, "Are you going to stay and celebrate my birthday tonight?"
Joseph frowned, but did not refuse.
"Joseph, it's so good to have you here. Staying in a hospital is not boring at all."
But Ella's smile did not last long.
Seeing her brother come in, her face turned ugly.
"Ella, happy birthday." Reece gave her the gift box.
Coldly, Ella took it and put it aside.
Reece said cynically, "It seems that you have forgotten you still have a brother as long as Joseph is
here."
"That's not true." Ella denied casually.
With her mind filled by Joseph, Reece's presence always made her uncomfortable.
It was lively in this senior ward, which felt more spacious when curtains were opened.
On the contrary, there is nothing except quietness in Sonny's ward. Kathy also heard the music being
played.
"Is that a party over there?" Sonny raised his eyes.
Kathy was reading a book, but the noise was too loud. She walked over to close the door, but saw a
surprising picture.
Joseph, who had always hated dessert, was actually eating a cream cake.
Beside him was Ella. Although dressed with a hospital gown, she was wearing a birthday crown, under
which was her beautiful face filled with joy.
In Ella's eyes, Kathy saw the exactly same feelings that she had.
That same deep affection for Joseph.
Kathy's heart trembled slightly. She closed the door quickly realizing that Joseph was about to turn
around and notice her.
"What's going on over there?" Sonny asked concernedly when he saw Kathy's livid face.
"A birthday party." Her tone was cold.
But actually, she was feeling more terrible than ever.
"Kathy, are you feeling well? You look not so good."
"It's fine. I'll go back first. You take a good rest."
With that, Kathy left the hospital without stopping. Her mind was filled with the picture of Joseph and
Ella staying together. Even if there were no intimate contacts, Joseph was indeed celebrating birthday
for Ella, right?
She was jealous, incredibly jealous.
It was a little cold outside. Wrapping her arms around her shoulders, Kathy did not go back to school or
Joseph Bay, but came to Alexia's apartment.
Before that, she confirmed that Johnson was not there.
"Kathy, what happened?" As soon as Alexia saw her, she was sure that something went wrong. They
had been good friends for so many years after all.
"Joseph is celebrating Ella's birthday." Kathy said dully.
"Are you jealous?" The situation became clear for Alexia.
Kathy nodded sullenly.
"There has been a cold war between us. I'm not sure if he is doing it on purpose." Propping her head
with her elbow, Kathy grabbed the potato chips on the coffee table to bite.
Eating wouldn't distract her.
"Cold war? You two have always been a model couple."
At least Alexia had never seen them quarrel.
"No way." Kathy said sullenly.
"Why are you guys in a cold war?"
Kathy frowned, "Probably because I have been taking care of Sonny in the hospital recently."
"If it were me, I would be jealous, too."
"Alexia, Sonny was injured because of me. I can't just leave him."
"But you're not Sonny's girlfriend anyway."
"So, I was wrong?" Kathy frowned.
"You're just too soft-hearted. How bad is Sonny's wound?"
"It's not that serious. Right now, Joseph is treating him."
Hearing this, Alexia, who was drinking water, got choked.
She looked at Kathy in surprise, "Did they fight?"
"No." The corner of Kathy's mouth twitched.
"If it were me, I wouldn't go to the hospital these days."
"But..."
"Kathy, Joseph likes you so much. He celebrated Ella's birthday intentionally to make you jealous. You
should be in the hospital right now, not hiding here."
Kathy shook her head. She wouldn't be welcomed.
Alexia was both anxious and helpless, "Kathy, he is your man, do you want him or not?"
"Of course." Kathy replied without thinking.
"That's it. Don't forget that you are his wife. You're going to watch Ella pestering your husband?" Alexia
really wanted to knock open Kathy's head and see what she was thinking.
But Kathy had always had such a gentle temper.
At the same time, in the hospital.
Ella's birthday party did not last long. The hospital was no place for noise. People left after eating the
cake.
Joseph, wearing the usual indifferent expression, turned around to leave, but Ella called him stop.
"Joseph, your company is my best birthday gift this year."
Joseph snorted slightly as a reply.
Used to Joseph's indifference, Ella looked at his figure fascinatedly. She was being more and more
sentimental recently.
Outside, Reece was smoking. Seeing Joseph, his thin lips curled into a mocking smile.
"Since when you've got time for another woman?"
"You got any problem?"
"After all, this woman is my sister."
Giving no reply, Joseph turned around to return to his office.
But Reece kept up.
"You think you can defeat the Bridges Group by your cooperation with Maria?"
"I don't think so. However, I'm very happy to see the Bridgeses fight amongst themselves." Joseph said
coldly.
"Joseph, your family owes me." Reece's eyes became bloodthirsty, his fists clenched.
"So, you think I should compensate you with the entire Joseph Group?"
"Not enough." Reece narrowed his eyes coldly.
He wanted more.
"If you can snatch it away, then let me see what you can do." Joseph said indifferently.
He never saw Reece as an enemy worthy of his attention.
"Then just wait and see, Mr Joseph."
