"But that you go on a business trip matters to me." Kathy muttered.
"I'll be back this weekend. You stay at school for the next few days."
"Alright then."
"Professor Joseph!"
Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded from the other end of the phone.
Zofia?
Kathy frowned and heard Joseph say, "I'll call you later."
Seeing Joseph, Zofia came over in a wheelchair.
"Are you here for the research conference?" Zofia looked at Joseph with a smile.
Joseph nodded indifferently and left the airport.
Zofia didn't care about his indifference. Looking at Joseph's back, she was deeply infatuated.
Bertie pushed the wheelchair and shook his head helplessly when he saw her expression.
"Are you sure you want to do this?"
"I'm sure. I know what Joseph wants most right now." Zofia curled her lips.
Two days later.
Kathy received a call from Sonny.
Ever since his confession, Kathy didn't contact him again.
But they could meet each other in the class every week. Kathy had never been good at socializing, so
she tried to avoid him.
She didn't answer Sonny's phone call. Thus Sonny sent her a WeChat message.
The project they had completed together received Professor Lee's recognition. They needed to go to
the office in the afternoon.
Since it was the teacher's request, Kathy naturally could not refuse.
In the afternoon, Sonny waited for her at the office door.
Kathy went in first. Originally, Sonny had something to say, but seeing Kathy walk in, he swallowed and
didn't say anything.
Professor Lee was Sonny's mentor and appreciated him very much. Only then did Kathy know that
their project had been selected as the first prize by the school. The school was going to hold a press
conference for them and they needed to elaborate this project. Professor Lee hoped that they could
cooperate to complete this research.
Kathy was stunned. She suddenly recalled what she had said to Joseph.
After this assignment was completed, she wouldn't contact Sonny so often.
If they continued to work together, she would break her promise.
However, she knew that this was indeed an indispensable opportunity for her.
Sonny immediately agreed, and Professor Lee turned to look at Kathy.
"Professor, I need to think about it." Kathy bit her lips. She didn't look good.
"Is there any problem?"
"No problem. I'm just afraid I don't have much time." Kathy replied with all her wits.
Indeed, she was not Professor Lee's student. She had to ask Joseph.
"I see. You'd better talk to Professor Joseph. I hope you can complete this research with Sonny. As for
the press conference, you can't miss it."
Kathy nodded and walked out of the office. She did not speak to Sonny and intended to go back to the
dormitory.
However, Sonny stopped her.
"Kathy, don't avoid me." Sonny, who was quite tall, stood in front of her.
"I'm not avoiding you." Kathy lowered her head and answered.
"I'm sorry if I bothered you." Sonny solemnly apologized to Kathy.
Kathy frowned and raised her head. She looked at Sonny and said, "Sonny, we are classmates, aren't
we?"
"Yes, we are classmates."
"That's good." Kathy smiled faintly.
"We're just classmates." Kathy emphasized again.
"The conference will be held tomorrow. Professor gave me a speech just now. What about practicing it
now?"
"Alright." They came to the classroom, but Kathy was absent-minded and kept looking at her phone.
In the end, she couldn't help but call Joseph.
She interrupted Sonny, "I'll take it back and practice it myself."
"I'll walk you back." Sonny blurted out.
"There's no need. I'm fine."
After saying that, Kathy walked out very quickly.
Sonny's expression was very gloomy. He was following Kathy all the way when two bodyguards
stopped him.
"Who are you?"
"Mr Joseph has instructed us to protect Ms Kathy."
Sonny sneered, "I didn't hurt her."
The bodyguards ignored Sonny's words. Sonny was no match for them. He could only watch as Kathy
disappeared from his sight.
At this moment, in BV City.
Because the research conference was related to the medical and business circles, Quinn came on
behalf of the Joseph Group and Veronica was also here.
Seeing her brother, she walked towards him.
"Why didn't Kathy come with you?"
"She's busy." Joseph sounded indifferent.
"Really?" Veronica hadn't seen her brother for a long time because she had been busy with school.
"Really."
"Alright, I'll go find Zofia."
Joseph stopped her and wanted to say something, but in the end, he still didn't say anything.
Only when Veronica came here today did she know that Zofia's legs were injured. However, she did not
know the reason for Zofia's accident and thought that it was just a car accident.
"Zofia, did the doctor say when you would recover?"
Zofia shook her head. "I guess I can only be like this forever. Veronica, now I can fully understand your
despair back then."
Veronica pursed her lips and remained silent for a while.
She managed to stand up not long ago. It was really uncomfortable those days when she was trapped
in a wheelchair.
She could understand Zofia's feelings.
"If it weren't for the fact that I was sent to the hospital too late, I wouldn't have been like this." Zofia
suddenly said.
Veronica's eyes popped. What did Zofia mean?
"Why were you sent the hospital too late?"
"At that time, I had a quarrel with Kathy. She pushed me to the road and stopped the driver when he
wanted to call the ambulance." As Zofia spoke, tears began to fall down her cheeks. "I didn't expect
that she could do that since we were good friends. She thought that I liked Joseph and couldn't bear
me anymore.
Veronica trembled as she looked at Zofia's legs. She thought of Kathy.
At the beginning, she did not have a good impression of Kathy, but gradually she changed her attitude
towards Kathy.
Zofia was her good friend that she had known for so many years, so she naturally trusted Zofia.
"Is it really because of Kathy?"
"Zofia, only my brother knows about this. Don't tell your brother. I don't expect he will care about me."
Veronica's body froze. Looking at Zofia's tears, she felt her heart ached.
Zofia had been her best friend since childhood. How could she let Zofia suffer such grievances?
"Zofia, you won't suffer all this in vain. I'll help you deal with that bitch," Zofia said angrily.
After saying that, she stood up and managed to calm down.
"Veronica, don't be impulsive. I don't want you to do this because of me...."
Before she could finish her sentence, Veronica interrupted Zofia. "Zofia, I know that you are very kind
and nice, but you are my best friend. Even if you can forgive her, I can't!"
Back then, when she was in her darkest time, it was Zofia who stayed with her so she could get over all
those difficulties.
Now that Zofia was in need, she would also stay with her.
