Late at night, Joseph finished reading the medical records and rubbed his eyebrows when he sat back
with exhaustion.
Kathy's gentle and pretty look was haunting his every moment.
Kathy had classes tomorrow. So she should be at University F now.
Joseph snatched up his car key and soon drove over.
The car stopped at the dormitory, but he did not get off. The light on the fifth floor was off. Kathy might
have fallen asleep or she just didn't come back yet.
At this moment, his phone rang. It was a message from Ella.
He didn't check it and just put the phone aside. Thus, he sat there till the day broke.
It was not until early in the morning that Kathy went back. When she arrived at the laboratory, Joseph
had already been there in a white coat.
She lowered her eyes and quietly walked over.
There were many students in this class, and the lab was lively.
It was inevitable for Kathy to see Joseph. As she listened to his lecture, she couldn't help but lose
focus.
Only when her classmate pushed her did she regain her senses. She looked up and met Joseph's
sharp eyes.
Kathy bit her lips in embarrassment.
"Kathy, stay by my side." Joseph stated without hesitation.
She nodded and walked over. Now, she had no choice but to concentrate.
When Joseph reached over, Kathy subconsciously gave way but happened to knock solution down.
"Sorry...!" She hurried to squat down, but someone was more agile and stopped her.
"Don't move." Joseph ordered and then asked another student to clean up.
Kathy had mixed feelings.
During the next half of the class, Kathy didn't distract anymore. But whenever Joseph approached, she
would quickly give way.
And she was even the first to leave after class.
Though she was eager to see Joseph, she felt extremely bad when she did.
Agitated, she tapped knuckles on her head as she headed for the dining hall. But when she raised her
head, she bumped into a familiar embrace.
"Joseph!" She glared at him with a hint of anger.
But he just replied in a cold tone, "Feel bad, right?"
Feel bad....
What did he mean...?
She kept her face void of emotion and ignored him.
However, Joseph grabbed her wrist before she could leave.
"We're now on campus. Professor Joseph, behave yourself!" Kathy was even more annoyed.
It was at noon, and there were many students coming and going. What was worse, they were standing
in the middle of the road.
"Behave myself? Kathy, I'm asking if you feel bad!" His voice went deeper.
And Kathy could actually tell his pain.
She must have heard him wrong. How could Joseph be painful?
She put on a faint smile, "Why will I feel bad?"
She struggled to pull her hand back, but she was too weak to make it.
Joseph's eyes turned darker as he observed her struggle.
"But I feel bad." With that, Joseph turned around.
What Kathy could see was only his cold receding figure.
She was dumbfounded as a lump came to her throat.
Of course ... she felt bad, too.
She quickly ran after him. However, she paused as a student passed by in front of her. When she
looked up again, Joseph had disappeared.
She sniffed and sighed. At this moment, she had lost her appetite and just went back to the dormitory.
In the afternoon, despite of her reluctance, she had to go to Boston Hospital to intern with Joseph.
Kathy was a little drowsy during the afternoon.
She first went to Sonny's ward before going to see Joseph in the office.
Sonny's diagnosis was back. After some treatment, he was getting better.
"Kathy, have you made up with Joseph?" Sonny asked with concern.
But Kathy's look changed.
"We are close all the time." She forced a smile.
"Kathy, if it's because of me...."
"It's not because of you." Kathy quickly interrupted him.
"Sonny, it has nothing to do with you." Kathy murmured.
Sorrow seized her as soon as she thought of what Joseph said at noon....
He said he felt bad.
Kathy's heart wrenched.
When she went to the office, Ella headed out with a pink lunch box in her hand.
The lunch box was empty.
"I just had lunch with Joseph. He's probably going to have a break. You'd better not to disturb him." Ella
stated in a tone of arrogance.
"I won't disturb him." Kathy said indifferently. She ignored her and swung the door open.
On Joseph's desk was a blue lunch box of the same design as Ella's.
The box was empty as well, which meant Joseph had finished his lunch.
Kathy's face darkened at once.
"I'm here to check in." Kathy's tone was as cold as ice.
"I see. Take and read these reports first. Come to see me half an hour later." He didn't look at her from
beginning to end.
Kathy left with the reports. She had her own lounge, but she didn't want to go there now. She just
wanted to talk to someone.
She entered Sonny's ward when she passed it.
"Will I disturb you?" It seemed that Sonny was about to take a rest.
"Of course not. I'm glad to be with you. It's boring to stay alone." Sonny smiled.
Kathy's mood was somewhat enlightened. Half an hour quickly went by while they were chatting.
In the afternoon, Joseph would receive patients in Boston Hospital. Recent work was somewhat too
busy for Kathy. Obviously, Joseph didn't care about her as much as before.
Kathy could feel it.
So, in the past ... it was Joseph who was helping her.
She lowered her eyes down, her face slightly pale.
This was Joseph's first time to receive patients since he left the Central Hospital and his fan club had
released the news early. So, there weren't many patients but some fans.
When Joseph was off duty, the corridor was filled with gift boxes of all sizes though he had made a rule
against gifts.
Kathy was vexed at them. A love letter fell to her feet as she moved a gift box aside.
The cover was light blue with a hand-painted figure, very similar to Joseph's image.
"Doctor Joseph, I've had a crush on you for many years. And I don't see myself stop any time soon."
Kathy pursed her lips. Actually, there were countless fans like this girl. But Kathy disliked it.
Her beloved was loved by so many women.
She was a little jealous.
Somehow, Joseph walked out at this moment, so he naturally saw the love letter in her hand.
He curled his lips as he took it over, put it in his pocket.
"Donate all these gifts and collect all the cards and letters for me."
"So what? You want to treasure them? Or do you want to respond to all these girls?" Kathy questioned
in a cold tone.
"Absolutely. That's exactly what I mean."
Kathy was enraged. She reached out to snatch up the love letter but failed. Instead, she threw herself
into Joseph's embrace.
As for Joseph, he easily caught her.
A familiar masculine aura lingered near her face, melting her.
