Before Kathy came back to her senses, Joseph had already walked far away.
He left her alone to deal with the few girl students.
"Really? Professor Joseph is still single? I thought he wasn't..."
"Yeah, I also thought Professor Joseph wasn't single. He has given me the impression of being a
mature married man."
"I felt the same way. But now that he's single, we can't give up..."
Kathy was left speechless...
So, did she just give up her man?
That was not good.
But given that Joseph was her tutor, she didn't have the guts at all to reveal their relationship to others.
She wanted to catch up with Joseph, only to find no sign of him after dealing with the students.
Did he really get angry?
Somewhat confused, Kathy was about to call Joseph when Sonny walked towards her from a short
distance and called her.
"Are you going to the hospital?"
Kathy nodded.
"I have something to tell you." Sonny frowned.
Kathy raised her head and looked at Sonny confusedly.
"Our research project has caught Bridges Group's fancy. You know that Professor Zane is currently
working for Bridges Group. She hopes to lead us to complete this project. With Bridges Group's
support, our efficiency will be greatly improved."
Kathy was stunned. The mention of Bridges Group caught all her attention.
"Then do we need to go to Bridges Group to do experiments from now?" she murmured.
Sonny slowly nodded. "Professor Lee has agreed to this. The contract will be signed this week and
we'll start officially next week."
Kathy was at a loss. She didn't want to have anything to do with Bridges Group anymore.
But now, it had been fixed.
"Do you mind that?" Seeing Kathy's hesitation, Sonny asked with a frown.
"Yes, I mind." She didn't tell him the whole story.
Working in Bridges Group meant she would meet Reece unavoidably.
Recently, he had rarely come to school and focused on Bridges Group. Therefore, it would be
inevitable that she would meet Reece in the group.
"Could you tell me the reason? I'll see if I can handle it."
Kathy knitted her brows. That was not something Sonny could handle.
"Never mind. Since everything has been settled, I will go there," Kathy said calmly.
"Alright, thanks for your cooperation. I believe this time the project will definitely succeed."
Kathy's expression was still calm and indifferent. Compared to being an academic, she would rather
work in the hospital. Yet as a student, she had to do both.
She planned to tell Joseph this when she went to Boston Hospital in the afternoon. However, Ella went
into convulsions again. Since Joseph had an operation to do in the afternoon, and the other neurologist
was on leave, Kathy had to deal with Ella's condition first.
After preparing the medicine, she walked to Ella's ward.
The nurse behind Kathy gave Ella an injection, which improved her condition. But after regaining
consciousness, she refused to take the medicine.
"Where's Mr Joseph?" She tried to look for Joseph as soon as she woke up.
"He's performing an operation," Kathy said calmly.
"Before I take the medicine, I want Mr Joseph to confirm my condition. Now you can leave." Obviously,
Ella didn't want to see Kathy.
Kathy naturally knew Ella's temper and had no wish to get a cold shoulder. She instructed the nursing
worker to care for Ella all the time and then went out.
Joseph's operation lasted at least five hours. He hadn't told her anything about it before, probably
because he was still angry at her.
Kathy sighed with a gloomy expression.
In the evening, Professor Zane invited her to dinner. Having nothing else to do, she agreed.
To her surprise, Reece also joined them for dinner.
Kathy frowned after Reece deliberately sat beside her.
"Kathy, long time no see." His smile made Kathy feel uncomfortable.
"Congratulations on your upcoming graduation." Kathy said the same words as what the other two
classmates had said to him.
"Why not congratulate me in person after I get the diploma?" Reece said in a low voice.
Kathy nodded slowly.
Professor Zane had been participating in Bridges Group's projects since she left University F.
Nevertheless, Kathy still subconsciously regarded her as a teacher.
And she had always respectfully addressed her as "Professor Zane."
"You guys won't still call me professor when doing the projects, will you?" Dona teased.
"You've always been a professor. This title fits you well," Sonny smiled.
"You all should call me Dona as what Reece does." Zona had always been unassuming and gentle.
Everyone enjoyed the dinner except for Kathy, who was a little uneasy for sitting beside Reece.
After the dinner, Dona's husband came to pick her up, while the two male classmates took a taxi.
Reece offered to send Kathy back, only to be refused by her directly.
"Do you still have such antipathy towards me?" Reece raised his eyebrows.
"Mr Bridges is overthinking it." Now Kathy usually addressed him as Mr Bridges. After all, he was rarely
in school.
"Then let me drive you. It's not safe for you to go home alone."
"I won't feel safer to take Mr Bridges' car," muttered Kathy.
Reece frowned, yet he wasn't angry.
"Then I'll take a taxi with you." Reece stopped a taxi for her like a gentleman.
However, a black car gradually stopped behind. Joseph pushed open the door and got off the car.
His expression darkened slightly after he saw Reece was beside Kathy.
"No need to bother Mr Bridges." Joseph hugged Kathy's shoulder and brought her into the car.
Kathy had never been familiar with Reece, so she even didn't need to say goodbye.
Smelling the faint scent of disinfectant on Joseph's body, Kathy thought he had probably got out of the
operating room not long ago.
"Why are you here?" Kathy frowned.
"To take you home."
"I need go back to University F."
"There's no need to go to the hospital tomorrow," replied Joseph.
Kathy pursed her lips and replied. Then she looked out of the window coldly.
Joseph did not say anything either. He was a little tired and fell asleep not long after leaning against the
back seat.
Kathy didn't discover it until the car stopped at Joseph Bay.
She discovered the man's handsome and perfect features, as if God had impeccably drawn his
contours stroke by stroke.
His thin lips were slightly pursed even when he was asleep, and its curves were tense.
The brows of his deep eyes furrowed slightly, as if he was worried about something.
Subconsciously, her cold fingertips caressed his eyebrows. She wanted to smooth them.
The next second, Joseph suddenly opened his eyes.
Kathy's hands stiffened, still sticking to his eyebrows.
The two were very close, but the light was very dim, so he suddenly met her gaze. His eyes were like
two shining black diamonds.
Her heart was beating wildly.
She wanted to pull her hand back, but Joseph had already grabbed her wrist in advance. With a slight
tug, she fell into his embrace.
A familiar masculine smell lingered at the tip of her nose, but she wanted to push him away.
She hadn't forgotten that Joseph left her alone at school this noon.
Thinking of this, she was still angry, and she pushed him even harder.
"Kathy." He frowned discontentedly and called her in a deep voice.
