"Today is my celebration party. Are you going to be absent too?" Zofia couldn't hide her
disappointment.
"You should know that being able to come here already shows my greatest patience."
After saying that, he turned around without any hesitation.
At the entrance of the hotel, Joseph saw a skinny girl squatting under the street lamp without moving.
He looked deeply into her. After a long time, he slowly walked up to her.
Kathy squatted on the ground, vomiting acutely with cold sweat covered her body.
She wanted to call the driver, but her fingertips were trembling slightly, so she couldn't even hold her
phone.
Joseph stood quietly behind her, but she didn't even have the strength to look back.
He bent down and picked her up without a word.
A faint masculine aura mixed with a red wine flavor--one that once haunted her so much.
Now that she was suddenly lying in his familiar arms, she couldn't help but shrink back. She was afraid
of him instinctively.
Joseph moved a little stiffly. He carried her to the side of the car with strides and pulled out the back
seat door. He directly threw her in, then sat down in the driver's seat and started the car.
After driving for a few minutes, the car stopped. He got out of the car and left Kathy lying alone in the
back seat.
As the car stopped abruptly, Kathy felt even more uncomfortable in her stomach.
She forced herself to sit up and pulled open the car door. She could not help but vomit before she could
open the car door.
A drop of vomit splashed onto Joseph's dark brown leather shoes. Kathy looked up in panic and saw
his cold face.
He placed a bottle of water and a box of medicine beside her and said in a deep voice, "Don't drink if
you can't."
Kathy bit her lips tightly. She did not have the strength to unscrew the bottle.
However, Joseph only watched her indifferently and did not intend to help at all.
This should be a medicine for drunk-relief ... Kathy just ignored the water bottle, took two random pills
and threw them into her mouth, trying to swallow them.
Her throat was terribly dry as if it were roasted on fire. The tablets were stuck there. The bitterness
spread in her mouth and she choked so hard that she was almost unable to talk.
Joseph looked down at her in such a terrible state in the entire process and didn't say a word until he
got back on the car and restarted it.
"Give me your address." He said indifferently.
Kathy said her apartment address. When she had to be on duty in the hospital, she would live in her
apartment. Normally, she would go back to the Bridges House.
It wasn't a long journey so they arrived quickly.
Kathy trembled, trying to open the door, but Joseph was one step faster than her. He watched her get
out of the car and reached out to grab her arm.
"Which floor?"
"21."
Seeing the electronic lock at the entrance of the apartment, Joseph paused. He retreated a little and
looked at Kathy, waiting for her to enter the password.
As soon as her finger reached out, she paused. She looked at him with caution and said in a low voice,
"You can leave now."
Joseph raised his eyebrows slightly. There was no ripple in his long and narrow eyes. He did not
correct her, but only smiled as if he had seen through everything. Then, he removed her hand and
directly pressed down a string of codes.
With a beep, the door opened.
Joseph's smile with a hint of mockery and indifference. Kathy staggered on and pushed him away, then
walked into the room.
The password was the date they got married four years ago. He actually guessed it right.
He stood at the door. Neither coming in or leaving. He just looked at her back thoughtfully.
His gaze pierced through the air, so she escaped into the kitchen. She opened the refrigerator and
found a bottle of water.
She almost drank the entire bottle of water without stopping. When she threw away the bottle, she
turned around and Joseph was already standing behind her.
They were so close that she could almost feel her breath spraying on his face.
Joseph looked down at her and suddenly reached out to pinch her chin which prevented her from
retreating. His thin lips gently touched her eyebrows.
It was like a kiss, but it seemed to mean nothing.
"Can't you just stop drinking? Hmm?" His voice seemed to be as tender as before.
However, she knew clearly that Joseph would no longer speak to her in such a tone.
"It's none of your business." She responded coldly and moved towards the flowing platform.
"Remember that day, Kathy, can I consider that you have never forgotten me?" He stretched out his
hand and gently pressed it against her cheek. He smiled and said, "Well, I can't forget you either."
She looked at him with a pale face, and her entire body remained as still as a statue.
How could he say such a thing?
However, she could not refute that the password was their anniversary.
"Go to bed early." Joseph let go of her, with his cold smile quickly subsided.
Kathy was originally on high alert, but at this moment, she heaved a sigh of relief.
As she watched him leave, his aura still lingered in the air, leaving for a long time.
The next day, Kathy came to the hospital to visit her mother.
Because she had drunk last night, she looked a little exhausted as she had not slept well.
Jennifer quickly noticed that something was wrong with her. Her emotions had changed too
dramatically.
This had barely happened in the past three years.
After leaving City N, she was even gentler than before. It was as if she were no longer interested in
anything, and there was nothing that could make her interested.
She was getting more indifferent, and only when she was at work would she be professional and strict.
"You did not sleep well? What happened?"
"Nothing."
Jennifer frowned as a thought flashed through her mind. Had she seen Joseph?
There was only that him that could made her daughter have such a huge mood swing.
After she left, Jennifer called her assistant over and said, "Check out Kathy's recent schedule and see
whom she has met."
Two days later, when Jennifer was discharged from the hospital, Kathy asked for leave, but she didn't
expect to see Jaydon, who had finally returned back to the country.
He rushed there, which seemed like he had hurried over from somewhere.
"Jaydon, aren't you in Europe?" Seeing him, Jennifer asked with a smile.
"I just got off the plane, and I've already dealt with all the matters over there." Jaydon said gently.
Kathy looked at his smile and suddenly lost for half a second.
His smile was really similar to Joseph's.
She quickly shook her head and threw away the idea.
"You're really thoughtful. You must be very tired. Go home early."
"I'll send you and Kathy back to the Bridges House first."
Kathy looked at him and said, "Mr Young, there's no need. I don't want to inconvenience you."
"It doesn't inconvenience me at all." Jaydon gazed at her deeply.
Kathy frowned and avoided his gaze.
