“Aren’t you going to stay with Veronica?”
“Quinn’s here. He can stay with her.”
Kathy said shortly.
She didn’t care about Joseph family’s affairs, nor did she have anything she could talk to Joseph about.
“I’m sorry for troubling you today.”
Kathy frowned. She wanted to tell him that it was her who notified him of Veronica’s forced discharge
from the hospital.
“She is also my first patient; I don’t want her to have complications.”
“My sister is a little grumpy but her heart is in the right place. She has been hurt so much that she has
become emotionally unstable.” Joseph frowned in concern as he talked about his sister.
Remembering the time when Joseph told her about how Veronica was assaulted by Billy, which led her
to attempt suicide, Kathy could understand her completely.
People who had been hurt so much always had a harder time controlling their emotions.
“Maybe this time, she would be able to stay away from the people she hates, and be able to recover
properly.”
“She refuses to leave City N. Her heart is so full of hatred, she must see everyone she hates fall down
with her own eyes.”
Kathy pursed her lips. She didn’t know Joseph would end up sharing so much with her.
The people who hurt Veronica… The main culprit among them was Billy…
Diego, who directly sent Macie to prison, was among them too. Veronica was not going to let him go
that easy.
However, Veronica could only rely on her family. The only one who could help her get her revenge was
Joseph.
Kathy raised her eyes to look at Joseph, astonished. She knew that he loved Veronica a lot, which was
why he was hostile to Billy and didn’t like Diego.
She didn’t think about it too much. It was Joseph’s business, not hers.
After eating, Kathy had to leave for the hospital, while Joseph had to get back to the Group.
Both of them separated at the door.
After turning away from him, Kathy could still feel his eyes at the back of her head for a long time.
She quickened her pace and walked into the elevator.
As soon as she entered, two familiar figures came into view.
Bertie and Zofia.
“Kathy, why are you still in the hospital?” Zofia looked at her in surprise.
“Professor Watson is attending meetings these days, so I have to stay here at the hospital to check on
the patients.”
“Are you going to stay the night?” Bertie frowned.
“Yeah.”
“Oh God! Us medical students have a miserable life. I am sure there are going to be many more days
like this in the future.” Zofia was already wailing in anguish.
“Professor Watson happened to receive Veronica’s operation; I just have to attend. In fact, he doesn’t
do much surgery anymore.” Kathy smiled.
“What happened? You wanted to get an admission so bad, now look at you!” Bertie teased his sister.
“I can’t… I can’t… It’s too much.” Zofia’s completely overwhelmed state amused them.
Zofia went into Veronica’s ward while Kathy went to the duty room. Bertie followed behind Kathy.
“You can’t sleep tonight?” He asked with concern.
“No, I am afraid Veronica might need help. Besides, I can also catch up on my homework.” Kathy sat
down.
“How about I stay here with you? Otherwise you might get lonely.” Bertie looked around in the duty
room; there was almost nothing in it.
“No, I think you should go. I will be very bust anyway.” Kathy didn’t feel lonely, she had her homework
to accompany her.
“Then I will just sit here quietly and not bother you.” Bertie sat down on the sofa and leaned at an angle
comfortably. Then he sat there quietly, really not disturbing Kathy.
An hour later, his cellphone rang. It was Zofia’s call.
“Bertie, where are you?”
“The driver is waiting for you at the gate. He will drive you back.”
“What about you?”
“I…” Bertie looked at Kathy, “I have an appointment.”
Kathy paused while doing her work, her eyebrows knitting together softly.
She looked up at Bertie, who was still looking at her, “Are you really going to stay here tonight?”
Actually, she didn’t think that this shabby place could be comfortable enough for him to be able to rest.
“Yeah. I’m sleepy, wake me if you need anything.” Bertie laid down lazily, occupying the whole sofa with
his tall body.
Kathy frowned and left him alone. It wasn’t her business.
Sometime before dawn, as Kathy took a nap with her head on the table, the bell rang suddenly. It was
Veronica’s room call.
Bertie also woke up and went to investigate with Kathy.
“It hurts…” Veronica said in a painful voice.
Quinn helped her sit up, and said solemnly as he saw Kathy walk in, “Her wound seems to be
inflamed.”
Kathy’s face sank. She immediately took off her wound dressing to put on a new one.
Then she brought anti-inflammatory drugs, “We must observe her condition carefully for the night.”
“Kathy, you are still an intern. Where’s the doctor?” Veronica glared at her, not believing in her skills.
Kathy’s expressions remined indifferent as she said, “The doctor is off-duty, and the Professor is on a
business trip. Only I am available at this time.”
“Relax.” Seeing Veronica being so tensed, Kathy’s frown became deeper.
“Veronica, believe in Kathy.” Quinn put his arm around Veronica’s shoulders, trying to comfort her.
Finally, her wound was dressed again. By the end, Veronica’s whole body was wet with sweat.
Seeing Quinn holding her, she pushed him away angrily, “Who allowed you to touch me?”
Quinn stepped aside. However, the worry in his eyes remained there for a long time.
“Miss Veronica, tonight is going to be a little painful. Try to get some sleep after taking these meds.”
Having explained, Kathy was about to leave when Veronica called her back.
“You stay with me. Quinn, you can leave.”
Seeing Kathy hesitate, Veronica pressed into her wound threateningly, “Kathy, what if something goes
wrong in your absence…”
“Veronica, you act really childish sometimes.” Kathy turned around; her tone was filled with
helplessness.
Veronica always tried to threaten others by hurting herself.
“Yes, I am childish.” Veronica admitted, glaring at Quinn, “You, leave! and Bertie you go back too.”
Bertie had been standing at the door this whole time, his eyes fixed on Kathy.
“Veronica, Kathy needs to rest.” Bertie walked in.
“She can rest here too. It will be more comfortable for us girls.”
Worried that Veronica was going to hurt herself again, Kathy stayed with her. She closed the door,
leaving both men outside.
In fact, she preferred to stay with Veronica rather than to be alone with Bertie.
“Why do you keep seducing men everywhere to fall for you?” Left alone with Kathy, Veronica said
rudely, “It was one thing to seduce my brother, but you didn’t even leave Bertie alone!”
Veronica used to go to the Marshall family’s house to meet Zofia; Bertie was almost like her own
brother.
“Veronica, don’t talk nonsense.” Kathy wasn’t happy with her comment.
“Don’t tell me you don’t know that my brother and Bertie both like you.”
“Your brother doesn’t like me. As for Bertie, I can’t like him.”
“You know if you weren’t that bastard Billy’s sister, maybe I wouldn’t hate you so much.”
“I have nothing to do with the Hilton family, Veronica. Please let go of your hatred against me.”
Kathy took a deep breath and explained gently to Veronica.
Veronica obviously did not believe her.
“You are still lying to me. You must still have my brother on your mind.”
Kathy had no words left to say.
