Suddenly, there was a violent sound from the elevator, and the calling machine responded.
Kathy picked up the interphone,” We are trapped in the elevator.”
“I have arranged rescue personnel, Kathy, I am here.”
He was here.
Kathy finally relaxed.
But in the next second, Edith frantically pulled Kathy's hair.
"You bastard, you must die..."
“Ouch…”
Kathy didn't hold back the scream, and subconsciously pushed Edith away.
She was hit on the back of her head and fell to the ground.
Kathy was startled. When she turned around, the smell of blood made her tense.
Edith didn't seem to move…
She squatted down to help Edith up, and couldn’t talk to Joseph.
But she didn’t response at all.
“Edith!”
She turned on the flashlight and saw the injury on Edith's forehead, which must be dealt with
immediately.
But she had nothing here.
She hurriedly picked up the interphone, “Joseph…Edith is unconscious…”
Kathy panicked without hearing Joseph’s voice.
Joseph’s voice came again a few minutes.
“Kathy.”
Kathy looked up and watched the elevator doors open little by little. Finally, Joseph's long figure came
into her view.
She breathed a sigh of relief, and fell right on her rear, seeming like she was wiped out.
Joseph strode in, held Kathy's cold hands, and took her into his arms.
He frowned when he saw the blood on Edith’s face.
He said to the security guard behind him, “Call an ambulance.”
"Let's go back first." Joseph didn't want Kathy to stay in this bloody place.
Kathy nodded, and asked when she thought of Edith, "She is your sister, don't you go to the hospital?"
“I will ask Conor Nicholson to go.”
Pursing her lips, Kathy got on the car and was still in shock.
The chilling scream of Edith seemed to still linger in her ears.
“Has she ever been raped before?” Kathy asked.
Joseph frowned and said, “Yes. She stayed in the Wesley family when she was young, and her uncle
tried to rape her, so I took her to the Joseph family later.”
Kathy realized that Edith’s childhood was overshadowed by Living in such an environment.
Joseph was the one who pulled her out of trouble. She could understand Edith's feelings for him.
“What are you thinking about?” Noticing her silence, Joseph turned Kathy’s face and asked.
Kathy shook his head, but her expression showed that something was bothering her.
"I was wondering why you didn't like her.” Kathy murmured.
Joseph squinted and knocked on her head, "Don't think about these all day long."
“Fine.”
At this moment, out of the corner of his eye, Joseph saw that there were several injuries on her arms.
Maybe she and Edith collided just now.
"I shouldn't have agreed that you work with her." Joseph said coldly.
“It is just an accident and had nothing to do with her.” Kathy explained.
” I knew that you two didn't get along well.”
Kathy pursed her lips and smiled ,” You have so many admirers, wouldn't I be tired if I avoided all of
them?”
Joseph turned his head and smiled, “Are you jealous?”
there was a slight blush on Kathy’s cheeks,” No.”
After returning to the Booth’s residence, Joseph asked the servants to bring the medicine box.
Kathy sat on the sofa and Joseph applied medicine on her wounds.
Bertie knew about the elevator accident and hurried home. He immediately took the medicine box
when he saw the servant.
When he came to the living room, the injuries on Kathy's hands clearly came into view.
“Is it hurt?” Bertie was anxious.
Kathy frowned, and was a little unhappy when she saw him.
Joseph directly took the medicine box and said in a cold voice,” We won’t trouble you, Mr. Marshall. I’ll
apply medicine on Kathy’s wounds.”
Bertie sat opposite and looked at them.
Kathy felt like a fish out of water.
"I have found out that the cause of the accident was the circuit trip." Bertie said.
Kathy answered indifferently.
"If you still feel uncomfortable, you can rest at home these days and don't have to go to the lab."
"It's just small cuts, Edith is seriously injured. I'm afraid it will affect the progress of researching and
developing." Kathy remembered and said.
Edith was the most important researcher. If she was not here, no one could take her place.
“Well, I will invite other experts to come over. ”
“You should stay at home tomorrow, and do not go anywhere.” Joseph turned Kathy’s face.
Kathy frowned,” There is nothing wrong…”
She didn't dare to speak out when she saw Joseph staring at her sullenly.
“If you don’t want to stay at home, then go to the Joseph 's Group with me.”
Wrinkling her brow, Kathy knew that he just didn't want her to go to the lab.
But she had promised and her grandpa.
“We’ll go back to City N.”
"So soon?”
They had stayed here only half a month.
Moreover, she had been busy with the research and rarely spent time with her grandpa.
"Do you want to stay with Bertie?" Joseph approached, with an overwhelming aura.
Kathy pouted and was silent.
It's true that she didn't want to get in touch with Bertie.
He had have access to the Booth family. And she would inevitably have to meet him in the Booth
Group.
"I'll spend more time with grandpa these days."
The next day, Kathy rested at home, and took a walk with her grandpa after breakfast.
She didn't know how to tell grandpa about her going back to City N.
Realizing that Kathy had something to say, Zack sat down and said,” You can say what you want. Is it
something I would be angry with?”
Kathy pursed her lips, "Grandpa, I'm going back to City N next week."
Sure enough, Zack’s face was cloudy.
“Does Joseph ask you to go back?”
“No, with school term approaching, I want to go back and prepare for the course.”
"Really?" Zack stroked his chin and narrowed his eyes.
Kathy nodded, of course she couldn't tell him that Joseph asked for it.
She thought it was strange that the relationship between Zack Booth and Joseph was not very
harmonious.
But they were polite when they got along with each other.
"I don't know when I'll see you again when you're going back." Zack lamented.
He had only four months left.
Kathy also knew that, and looked mournful.
Every moment of her getting along with her grandpa was a countdown.
“Grandpa, I’ll come back every month to visit you." Kathy sucked her nose.
“I know your intention. You are young and you should have your own life”
“Grandpa.”
Zack waved his hand, "I have made a will, my property will be all yours."
She looked down and didn’t feel happy.
She knew that it was the responsibility she had to shoulder.
“Your mother is in charge of domestic business of the Booth Group, and Bertie temporarily controls the
foreign industries. But it will be all handed over to you later.”
