After a while, Joseph grabbed Kathy's arm and brought her into the car.
"You don't need to come to the hospital tomorrow." He seemed to have compromised.
Kathy was stunned and explained to Joseph, "Joseph, I've finished my assignment. And I won't contact
Sonny so often in the future."
"I see." The man still looked indifferent.
Kathy pouted. Why did everyone say that a woman's heart was deep as ocean?
Actually, she never knew what Joseph was thinking about.
After returning to the dormitory, Kathy thought of the gift Sonny had given her. She opened the gift box
and saw a journal filled with surgical notes.
Sonny personally wrote it, which was something that could be easily overlooked, but it was extremely
important.
Kathy was stunned. This gift was indeed not expensive, but it was special.
For her, it was too valuable.
Putting it aside, Kathy quickly drowned herself into study until late at night when Sonny called her.
They discussed the report they just finished for a long time. When they realized to check the time,
Kathy almost fell asleep on the table.
"Kathy, go to sleep. Sorry, I didn't notice the time." Sonny's gentle voice rang out from the phone.
"OK."
Before hanging up the phone, she mumbled, "Don't call me too late next time. Otherwise, my boyfriend
will be angry."
On the other side, Sonny was stunned. He gripped his phone and then hung up.
Not long after, Zofia called him.
"I'll be back in City N next week."
"Do you need me to meet you at the airport?"
"My brother will pick me up. Do you have a car?" Zofia sounded a little sarcastic.
However, Sonny wasn't angry.
"You transferred me a lot of money and I bought a car." He said frankly.
"Well, what about you and Kathy recently? Have you won her love?"
"Not yet." Sonny was somewhat frustrated.
"Sonny, pursue Kathy the way you pursued me back then."
"The person she likes is Joseph." Sonny became gloomy.
Back then, Zofia liked him and he could feel it. That was why his pursuit was so successful.
However, he didn't know if Zofia had any feelings for him now, but he was still willing to do anything for
her.
"Every woman can be moved. Show some passion and make yourself see. OK?"
Sonny said "yes" and hung up the phone. What Kathy had just said lingered in his mind.
He closed his eyes.
In the following week, Kathy spent most of her time on her assignment and tried to finish it as soon as
possible.
She didn't contact Joseph so often that she didn't even know that he was on a business trip. Only when
she couldn't get through to Joseph did she realize that he had boarded the plane.
John told her about it.
She was quite upset.
"What happened?" Sonny asked with concern.
Kathy came back to her senses and shook her head.
"Did you hand in all your assignment?"
"Yes. I think Professor Lee will be very satisfied with our project." Sonny said proudly.
She smiled. She was confident of Sonny's professional competence.
After handing in the assignment, she planned to go to sleep in the dormitory. Sonny insisted on going
back with her together.
"Sonny, thank you for your gift, but please stop giving me anything." Kathy stopped and thought of the
gift.
"You don't like it?" Sonny's expression darkened slightly.
"I like it. But, I don't want to trouble you." Kathy looked at him seriously.
Although she felt that Sonny wouldn't like her, she still needed to rule out every possibility.
"I don't think so. I'm happy that you like it." Sonny said affectionately.
Kathy bit her lips and turned away.
Without saying anything, she turned around and went back to the dormitory.
However, Sonny stopped her.
"I'm going to the hospital tomorrow. I might need someone to go with me."
"What about your classmate?" Kathy frowned.
"No one wants to be my friend. Kathy, you are the only one."
Kathy frowned. She had noticed that Sonny was isolated, but she didn't expect him to be entirely
friendless.
"How could this be?"
"What do you think?" Sonny looked at her.
How could she know?
"Professor Joseph has been aiming at me."
Sonny's words made Kathy's face turn pale. She blurted out, "Joseph didn't aim at you."
"It was Joseph who helped you last time when you were attacked. He didn't want to harm you." Kathy
explained.
"Kathy, you don't know about him."
"Sonny." Kathy was a little angry.
She could not tolerate anyone speaking ill of Joseph.
"Sorry, I'm too emotional." Sonny lowered his head and said in a low voice.
"Sonny, are you trying to say that it was Joseph who egged the students of University F on to isolate
you?" Kathy's gaze turned a little cold.
Sonny pursed his lips and did not deny it.
"Why would he do that?"
"Everyone can see how I feel about you." Sonny's emotions suddenly erupted, so intense that Kathy
couldn't figure out what was happening.
She stayed where she stood and did not come back to her senses for a long time.
Joseph knew all of this and he had warned her before.
She just didn't believe it.
"Sonny, why...." She was speechless.
The person Sonny liked should be Zofia.
"I don't know why, but Kathy, I like being with you. I feel relaxed and comfortable." Sonny clenched his
fists, his eyes shining.
But Kathy didn't look at him.
"Stop it." After that, Kathy ran back to the dormitory.
She didn't want to listen to what Sonny would say. She didn't want!
Subconsciously, she took out her phone to call Joseph, but she was still told to leave a message.
According to the flight information provided by John, Joseph wasn't off the plane yet.
She closed her eyes, and recalled Sonny's words just now.
No. It was impossible.
However, Sonny was so certain that she could hardly doubt him.
Bending over the table, Kathy fell asleep before she knew it. When she woke up, it was already the
next morning. There were several missed calls from Joseph. She immediately called back.
"Joseph." Kathy called him.
"Are you uncomfortable?" Joseph keenly noticed her nasal congestion.
"I'm fine...." Before she could finish her sentence, she sneezed because of cold.
She didn't even cover herself with a blanket last night. She must have caught a cold.
"Kathy, I'll ask a bodyguard to buy you medicine later."
"There's no need to do that. I'll buy it myself. By the way, why didn't you tell me that you're going on a
business trip for a few days?"
Her tone revealed her dissatisfaction.
"You told me yesterday not to disturb you no matter what happened." Joseph replied her.
Kathy was quite annoyed. She did say that, but it was because she wanted to finish her assignment as
soon as possible.
She didn't expect that Joseph would suddenly go on a business trip!
