For the next half month, Kathy went back and forth between the hospital and the Bridges House.
She was so busy that she had no time to take care of other things. Even if she had free time on
weekends, she will help her mother deal with Booth Group’s work.
However, the peaceful life did not last long. Kathy had just finished an operation when she received a
call from her mother.
Karl accidentally fell down the stairs and was seriously injured. Jennifer immediately booked a ticket to
Country K.
Kathy frowned. Reece was ambitious now, so she couldn't rest assured that her mother would go there
alone.
"What happened?" Jaydon asked worriedly when he saw Kathy's pale face just after finished the work.
"I may have to take time off." Kathy said in a low voice.
"Well, I will take over the patient in your hand, don't worry." Jaydon said gently.
Kathy looked at the man in front of her. He always took care of her in this way.
But she really couldn't be with him.
"Dr Young, thank you."
"You don't need to be so polite to me. Do you want to go home now? I'll see you off."
After that, Jaydon was already arranging today's work.
Kathy nodded slowly. After returning home and packing up, she rushed to the airport with Jennifer.
Jaydon drove them to airport. Kathy asked her mother nervously, "Why Dad fell from the stair?"
"He should have been a dispute with Reece. He has been still in the operating room. I don't know
what's going on." Jennifer looked worried.
She shouldn't have stayed in City N, she should have been to England early.
She was now annoyed and anxious, and she couldn't help shaking.
"Mom, don't worry, it's okay." Kathy didn't know the situation, but she could only comfort her mother in
this way.
"Kathy, you can stay here. I won't come back so soon..."
"Mom, I'll accompany you to know what happen. Dr Young will be at the hospital and he will help me."
"Right, don't worry. Just let Kathy accompany you." Jaydon said warmly.
Jennifer looked at Jaydon and then at Kathy, but her face was still terrible.
When they arrived at the airport, Jaydon helped them carry their luggage and accompanied them to the
security checkpoint.
"Kathy, if everything here was dealt with, and you haven't come back, can I go there to find you?"
Jaydon suddenly stopped Kathy, his eyes full of reluctance.
Kathy was stunned, met Jaydon's gaze, and did not speak for a while.
"Jaydon, I..."
"You don't need to be so good to me." After a long while, Kathy sighed deeply.
Jaydon still had a firm look, "I just want to treat you well, you don't need to feel pressure, Kathy."
"But I don't want to fall in love with anyone now."
In the next second, Jaydon's finger lifted and pressed against Kathy's lips, to block all her words.
"I know, but I will wait."
On the plane, Jaydon's words kept lingering in her ears. She closed her eyes tiredly, and her mother's
voice sounded in her ears.
"Kathy, try to accept Jaydon. Mrs. Young and I hope you can be together." Jennifer held her daughter's
hand.
Kathy opened her eyes and said categorically, "Mom, it's impossible."
"Why? Do you still think about Joseph?" Jennifer's face became cold.
"I don't plan to marry anymore." Kathy said solemnly.
"Kathy, you can't do this. Don’t you marry anyone except Joseph?" Jennifer asked angrily.
Kathy pursed her lips and didn't speak for a while.
Hearing the name Joseph, she still couldn't be calm after all.
"After Karl and I return, I will talk to Mrs Young to prepare for your wedding." Jennifer ordered directly.
"Mom, I will not get married." Kathy pulled a long face and showed her disagreement.
"Kathy, mom does it for your good."
"I am in no hurry." Kathy turned her head.
She closed her eyes solemnly. She really didn't have the energy to manage a relationship or a
marriage.
Joseph will always be the hurdle in her heart that cannot be crossed.
And she didn't plan to cross over.
It was 8pm local time when they arrived in Country K. Kathy slept on the plane for a long time, so she
didn't feel too tired when she got off the plane.
They went directly to the hospital. Karl had been transferred from the operating room and was now
observing in the ward.
Kathy accompanied her mother. She hadn't seen Karl for a month. Karl seemed to be older, and was
no longer spirited as before.
Now Bridges Group was almost under Reece's control, and Karl's power was gradually declining.
She came out after a while in the ward, leaving space for Jennifer and Karl.
Sitting on the chair in the corridor, she was a little absent-minded. Until a sound of footsteps came from
far and near, she raised her head in a panic.
The man was still handsome, but his aura was very gloomy.
"Kathy, you are finally here." His tone was as if Kathy was the prey he had coveted for a long time.
Kathy pursed her lips and turned her head quickly.
Reece sat down beside her. Kathy asked indifferently, "Did you push him downstairs on purpose?"
"How would I do this?"
"There is nothing you can't do." Kathy muttered.
"Tsk tusk, I can't do anything that hurts you." Reece's tone was serious.
Kathy snorted coldly, so she wouldn't believe Reece.
"He is your dad, Reece."
"Kathy, I said, I didn't push him."
Kathy pursed her lips and said nothing.
But Reece pulled her up, "Your mother won't leave for a while, I will accompany you to dinner."
"No need." Kathy shook Reece away hard.
But she couldn't struggle and escape from his great strength and she was taken into the elevator by
him.
"Reece!"
"Kathy, why don't you learn to be obedient?" Reece's tone was actually a little affectionate.
But Kathy only felt disgusting.
"Why should I listen to you?"
"Or, do you hope that the next person to have an accident is your mother?"
Reece's tone was so calm, but Kathy's face was already pale with fright.
She raised her eyes, the panic in her eyes could not hide.
She knew Reece could do it.
"Reece, you...you are perverted!" Kathy used all her strength to push him away.
Hearing that, the man just curled his lips and chuckled, "So, you will be more obedient, or I will be more
perverted."
When the elevator door opened, Kathy ran out, but Reece caught up in three or two steps, and she
stared at him coldly.
Thinking of what he said just now, she was still scared.
She can't let her mother have an accident...
"What do you want?" After Calming down, Kathy looked up at him.
The man's palm slowly lifted and pressed against Kathy's cold skin. He rubbed her white cheeks, the
infatuation in his eyes revealed.
"Kathy, marry me."
Hearing the romantic words from this man's mouth, Kathy couldn't help but raised her hand and wanted
to slap across his handsome face.
However, Reece clasped her wrist faster and held her in his arms.
"Do you dare to hit me?" he said coldly.
