Neurology was the most popular major at Ocean University, but the seats were usually reserved for
their own students. It was quite difficult to get admission for students from other universities. Kathy had
been working for several years, and apparently, she had also been the cause of uproar at the university
in the past.
Surprisingly, she was still the only one accepted by Benedict Watson.
However, Zofia immediately understood that it was probably due to Joseph.
Disdain flashed in her eyes.
Kathy didn’t notice. She had only found out today that how many people were jealous of her being
taken under Benedict.
After all, Professor Benedict Watson had been in Ocean University for decades. Being in the university
for that long, he had only accepted around ten graduate students, and all of his students were
prominent figures in the medical field.
Soon, Bertie came over with Zofia’s luggage.
“Bertie, why are you so slow?” Zofia got angry at him.
“There was a traffic jam. I can’t fly over in a plane, you know!” Bertie had always spoiled her with love.
Hearing the familiar voice, Kathy turned her head and looked at Bertie.
Bertie asked her with concern, “Are you okay now?”
Kathy turned her head back around and hummed faintly in response.
Zofia looked at both of them, then pulled her elder brother aside and asked, “Don’t tell me the reason
you offered to bring my luggage so kindly today was so you could see Kathy?”
Bertie frowned. He really didn’t know about this.
During this time, he had been thinking about how to deal with his feelings.
Kathy was single now. It was, undoubtedly, the best opportunity to pursue her.
But she avoided him so much.
He didn’t have any experience in chasing after girls, it was always the girls who chased after him.
“I didn’t know.” He said lightly.
“I don’t believe you! You just saw her? Hah! Do you think I don’t know you?”
“Don’t talk nonsense!” Bertie scowled.
“Whatever! I’m hungry, let’s go for dinner.” Zofia held her brother’s arm affectionately.
Seeing Bertie consciously glance at Kathy, she spoke in his place, “Kathy, do you want to go for dinner
with us? My brother’s treating.”
Kathy shook her head and said, “I am not hungry yet, you guys go and eat.”
After dinner, Bertie had some roasted beef packed. He gave it to Zofia, “Take it for Kathy.”
“No, Bertie. You have to give this to her yourself, otherwise it won’t work!”
“What won’t work?” Bertie was confused.
“Don’t you want to pursue Kathy? Then take an initiative! Do something for her to move her heart.”
“She doesn’t want to see me right now.” He handed the food box to Zofia.
After coming back to the dormitory, Zofia noticed that Kathy had cleaned the room behind her, including
Zofia’s space.
“Looks like my brother was right in getting take away for you. Thank you for cleaning up.” She handed
the box to Kathy.
“Thank you. I’ll transfer the money to you and you can transfer it to your brother.” Kathy took out her
cellphone.
However, Zofia waved her hand, “Don’t! He won’t accept it.”
“But…”
“Look, he is trying to win you over, so just enjoy it. Anyway, you are the first woman he is chasing after
in thirty years of his life. Let him at least practice it a bit.”
Zofia wanted to see how good was her arrogant brother in chasing girls.
The corners of Kathy’s mouth twitched helplessly. Bertie was chasing a girl for the first time?
She hadn’t expected that he would have any shortage of girlfriends that he could get with that
exquisitely handsome face of his.
But then, thinking about it again, it must be the women who chased after him for that handsome face…
…
Later, when Kathy had finished eating, Zofia suddenly came over.
“Let’s go to the welcome party, we easily can get to know many classmates there.”
Kathy was writing her speech for the opening ceremony tomorrow, which she was going to deliver as a
student representative.
Zofia looked at her, not convinced by her excuse, and her tone became much softer, “Come on, let’s
go. Come on. Although, there might not be anyone as cool as my brother, but who knows, you might
meet someone you like.”
“Zofia, I am not looking for someone to fall in love with.”
Kathy shook her head.
She just wanted to focus on her studies for now.
“Fine! You don’t have to fall in love, but you should meet your classmates. Do you know them? No,
right? Then, follow me!”
Kathy was dragged along by Zofia.
The meeting place was on the top floor of a Chinese restaurant in the campus. Most of the students
who came were from Neurology or cardiothoracic surgery.
Kathy and Zofia were both quite popular students on campus now. As soon as they entered, the crowd
got noisier. Kathy was pulled along by Zofia to sit in the center, it was a little cramped. She never liked
such lively and crowded events.
However, Zofia’s extroverted nature made her get acquainted with the people around her very quickly.
Next to Kathy, sat a male classmate with glasses and fair skin. He took the initiative to introduce
himself, “Hi! I’m Cohen Sutton, also a Neurology major.”
“Hi! I am Kathy.” Kathy smiled at him faintly.
Cohen lowered his gaze and held his mug nervously.
Seeing that Kathy’s glass was empty, he helped her fill it up.
“I heard that you are the only student accepted by Professor Watson. How did you manage to do that?”
He asked curiously, “I contacted him a quite a while ago, and he said he won’t be accepting any
students this year.”
“Maybe he changed his mind later.”
“Also, your grades are really good. It is no wonder you were accepted by Professor Watson.”
“Would you like to eat this? All of them are going to karaoke, are you sure you don’t want to go?”
Cohen looked at her.
At first glance, Kathy always looked well-behaved and clever, someone who doesn’t like to play around.
She spoke very little, unless she was with a person that she was very familiar with.
“I am full. You go, sing with them. I will leave in a bit to go back and study.”
“Oh, then… may I drop you back? I have some questions that I wanted to ask with regards to work.”
“No, thank you, I can go by myself easily. Just ask whatever you want to. Although, I don’t know if I can
help or not.” Kathy said politely.
Cohen suddenly approached her, “Then let’s go to the campus sports ground, it’s too noisy here…”
It was already very late at night, and the campus ground was quite deserted by this time. Cohen’s gaze
on Kathy became more and more dark.
“Let’s go over there, it’s too noisy here.”
Gradually moving away from the noise, Kathy found herself getting uncomfortable with the quiet around
her. When she turned her head, Cohen’s eyes already had a very terrifying look in them.
Realizing something, she turned around to leave immediately.
However, before she could leave, Cohen dragged her into the store room not far away and closed the
door with a bang.
His eyes were filled with malice.
“What are you trying to do?” Kathy looked around for a way to escape, but her only way out of the small
window-less room was the door.
Cohen sneered as he approached her step by step, and then grabbed her hair fiercely.
“I am not trying to do anything. I just don’t understand how a student with a history of plagiarism was
accepted by Professor Watson. Do you know how hard I worked to get him to choose me? But he
chose you…”
The resentment in his eyes was coupled with anger; he pulled her hair even harder.
Kathy’s face turned pale with pain and terror. She held on to Cohen with one hand and picked up a
dumbbell and smashed it on his head with the other hand.
Cohen couldn’t dodge in time. Blood gushed out of his forehead, but it only spurred his anger further.
“Cohen, my over all grades are better than anyone else in my major. It is completely reasonable for
Professor Watson to choose me!” Kathy said heavily.
She looked up at him, and used all her power to push him away.
