They were both busy with their work, and they didn't have that much overlapping in their schedules.
Jaydon did not use the most powerful method to influence a person's life, but he often invited Kathy to
dinners and movies.
When Kathy received Jaydon's phone call on the weekend, she had just come out of the operating
room.
Actually, at this moment, Jaydon was far away on the other side of the earth, and his voice was very
leisurely, "Do you work overtime today?"
"Yes," Kathy replied briefly, "and I have to perform another operation later."
As she spoke, she took over the patient information that Vivian passed. It was about a patient that was
handed over by another doctor who had left the hospital.
However, the photo on it looks a little familiar to her.
"I have to work. I'll call you back later." Kathy hung up the phone.
After looking at the photo seriously for a while, she finally remembered where she had seen this
woman.
It was at the celebration. Jaydon thought this woman looked like me.
"Is she here yet?" Kathy asked.
"She's already in the ward, but ... Doctor Joseph seems to be here as well." Vivian frowned.
"Joseph?" Kathy stopped. Although she wasn't surprised, she still hesitated for a moment.
"Yeah, what's going on with them? Even Doctor Joseph came to be with her. But isn't Doctor Joseph
dating Miss Marshall?" Vivian muttered.
Kathy compressed her lips. Even though she didn't say anything, she put on a slightly grave
expression.
The woman's name was Annika White. Kathy walked into the ward with hair tied into a ponytail. She
wore no makeup and you could even see a cute tiny sunspot on her nose bridge.
"Doctor Kathy, why do I feel like she looks like you," Vivian came in following Kathy and whispered to
Kathy, "especially her eyes and lips. If I didn't know you, I would think you two are twins."
Kathy's gaze stayed on Annika's eyes. Annika was taking an indwelling needle. Her eyes were round-
shaped, like longans. If she smiled, they would look like two crescent moons.
As for her lips, Annika actually had few expressions, but her upper lip was naturally curled up to bring
her a witty look.
Kathy lightly gave a cold smile and said, "You're not the first one to say that."
"Hello," Annika said to Kathy when seeing Kathy come in.
After briefly explaining the details of the operation and post-op instructions, Kathy went out to prepare.
Then Joseph came in her direction.
It was too late for her to avoid him.
"Are you the lead surgeon today?" The man frowned slightly.
"Yes." Kathy nodded slowly.
"Are you the patient's family? I think she's alone." Kathy looked at Joseph.
Although Annika's operation wasn't complicated nor dangerous, it would be better if she had family
here with her.
Joseph lowered his eyes. All of his emotions were hidden. He did not answer. Instead, he asked coldly,
"Do you think she resembles you?"
His tone unexpectedly carried a slight touch of attachment.
Kathy was stunned. Suddenly, she felt as if she had been fooled. Without answering, she quickly left.
A thought flashed through her mind, but she quickly suppressed it as it was impossible.
Behind her, Joseph quietly raised his head. The figure that quickly retreated had been deeply imprinted
in the depth of his eyes.
Three hours later, Annika's operation was complete. Kathy took off the mask and walked out of the
operating room. She would have normally explained the situation to the patient's family, but there was
no one outside the operating room.
She frowned and turned back to her office.
Not long after, Annika was pushed back to the ward. Vivian had always been by the side. When she
saw Joseph sitting on the sofa in the ward, she couldn't hide her excitement.
However, his gaze seemed to have landed on Annika from the moment her entered.
When Annika woke up, he saw Joseph by the side and smiled faintly. The curves of her eyes were
beautiful.
Because of this smile, her lips curled up lovingly.
Joseph looked very calm from beginning to end. Annika's smile gradually froze. She thought that her
beauty was above average. At least, few men could refuse her.
However, this calm and elusive man in front of her had always maintained a neither warm nor
indifferent relationship with her.
"Do you like me?" Annika mustered up her courage and spoke in a timid tone.
If he didn't like her, why would this man condescend to accompany with her?
But if he liked her, why would he be so indifferent to her?
"Annika, remember who you are. Don't you know what you can say and what you can't say in front of
me?" Joseph said even more coldly.
Annika bitterly smiled with self-deprecation. She understood what this man meant.
She was probably just a pretty vase in his eyes.
"Thank you for coming today." A smile returned to her face.
Joseph's expression was indifferent as usual, but it was much warmer.
"When you are discharged, you can call me." After saying that, he left quickly and indifferently.
Annika tilted her head, and did not figure out what the man's intention was after a long time.
In the next few days, Kathy did not see Joseph again. Every day, she came to Annika's ward. Every
time Annika saw Kathy, she always had that tender smile on her face. A word came to Kathy's mind:
soothing.
Annika's smile was very faint, but it gave Kathy a soothing and warm sensation.
"Doctor Kathy, can I be discharged tomorrow?"
"Yes, your body has recovered quite well." Kathy nodded.
Not long after, Annika called Joseph. At this moment, Kathy was about to leave, but when she heard
Annika call out the name "Mr Joseph", she involuntarily stopped for a second.
Without stopping anymore, she left quickly.
This afternoon, she had already made an appointment with Jaydon to pick him up at the airport.
However, she did not expect a traffic jam along the way. In the end, she arrived at the airport a little
late.
In the crowd, Kathy saw Jaydon in sunglasses with short hair at a glance. He was wearing a black
backpack and pushing the luggage cart while looking around.
Kathy stood at the exit and watched as he took off his sunglasses and turned cheerful at the sight of
her.
She couldn't help smiling and waved at him from afar.
As they hadn't seen each other for more than two weeks, Jaydon was chatty and even noisy on their
way back.
Kathy listened to him with a good temper as he recounted his recent participation in academic
exchanges in Australia. When the car hit downtown, the traffic turned heavier. They had to stop and
start time and time again. Finally Jaydon dozed off and fell asleep against the back seat.
Kathy couldn't help turning her head to look at him carefully.
The boy with single-fold eyelid had good facial features and a equable temperament.
His nose was tall and straight, and because of fatigue, under his glasses was a large patch of azure-
black.
His collar was wrinkled untidily. He only liked to wear washable cotton shirts. He didn't always have
shiny cuff links and a smooth collar as Joseph.
He had a very different temperament from the rich young men or the professional elites that she had
known in the past few years.
