It was almost dawn before Veronica finally fell asleep and Kathy also went to take break on the couch.
When she opened her eyes, she noticed something strange.
Wasn’t she sleeping on the couch?
She blinked, rolled over and realized that she was sleeping on someone's lap.
She immediately sat up, and Joseph’s handsome face came into view.
When did he come?
And when did she sleep on his lap?
“Sleep a little longer if you're still tired.” Joseph doted on her as he ruffled her hair.
As if the two had not divorced yet.
Kathy, however, was wide awake and shook her head, “I'm not sleepy.”
At the time, Joseph’s jacket slipped off from her body. She immediately picked it up and handed it to
him while getting up.
However, Joseph’s scent kept lingering around her for a long time.
She walked towards where Veronica was and noticed that she was still sleeping. Kathy continued by
checking Veronica’s wounds and temperature. She finally relaxed as she had confirmed that Veronica
was alright.
She left the ward as it was almost time to go back to school.
“Mr. Joseph, if anything happens to Veronica, please let me know.” Kathy said while maintaining a
distance with Joseph.
“Well, I'll send you back.” Joseph also stood up.
“No, there is no need to bother you.”
“It's no trouble at all.” Joseph’s words had a slightly commanding tone to them.
In the car, Kathy was yawning all the time. She had not slept for hours and was now very sleepy.
“When did you come over this morning?” She asked.
She even slept so deeply that she did not even know that Joseph had arrived.
“Two hours ago, please get some sleep, I'll drive a little slower.” Joseph’s hand reached over and
helped her buckle her seat belt.
The cool temperature caressed her chest, and Kathy subconsciously shivered.
Her face even turned red.
The man's hand did not leave and suddenly cupped Kathy’s chin. This caused Kathy to look up at him.
“Are you nervous?” His voice was deep and full of attractiveness.
Kathy’s heart was beating faster...
“Of course not, you can start driving.” Kathy turned her head to look out the window.
But Joseph pulled back towards him, “Just sleep.”
Kathy looked at him, her eyes seemingly drawn to his eyes.
He had always known how to charm her.
“Call me when you get there,” Kathy replied as she stopped being stubborn.
She seemed to be able to sleep extraordinarily well only when she's around Joseph.
So, she did not even know that she had already arrived at school.
When she woke up, it was almost noon, and Joseph was by her side dealing with business quietly.
After rubbing her eyes, Kathy looked outside at the entrance of Ocean University, and then looked at
the time.
“Joseph, didn't I told you to wake me up?” She was a little angry.
“You don't have classes for a few days either, so there's no rush.” It was as if he knew her class
schedule well.
“I don't want to take up your time.”
“Don’t you know that I'd rather spend time with you?”
“We're already divorced.” Kathy's tone was slightly cold.
“I know, my ex-wife doesn't need to keep reminding me about that, but a divorce can’t stop me from
wanting to be near you, right?” He clasped her wrists and pressed her onto her seat forcefully.
The position made Kathy ashamed and annoyed, but she could not push Joseph away.
She stared at him angrily, “What do you mean, Mr. Joseph?”
“Kathy, I don't like you calling me Mr. Joseph.” His eyes became intimidating.
Kathy’s heartbeat was getting even more faster.
At that moment, Joseph’s usual gentle behaviour seemed to have faded. Suddenly, he was giving off a
dangerous aura.
She gulped and was unable to make a sound for a long time.
“Joseph, let go of me!” At the same time, Kathy raised her foot to kick him as she watched him get
closer and closer.
Joseph apparently was not expecting it as he wailed and raised his eyebrows.
However, he still did not let go of Kathy.
As the seat was being put down, his body almost covered all of Kathy.
“Joseph!”
“Be good, I just want to hug you.” With that, he pressed her slim body to his chest.
Without going too far, Kathy could feel Joseph’s tenderness in every movement he made.
He always made himself irresistible towards her.
Gradually, Kathy calmed down.
She was most relaxed when she was with Joseph.
Even though they were already divorced, she still subconsciously relied on him.
She obviously wanted to quit doing so, but he repeatedly approached her.
As the phone rang, Kathy immediately pushed Joseph away.
The phone fell to the carpet so Joseph quickly sat up straight and picked it up.
Kathy also sat up, and as soon as her eyes turned, she saw who was the caller.
It was Herbert.
“I'm sorry to bother you.” Kathy open the car door and left without showing any expression; Joseph did
not even have time to grab onto her.
Kathy ran away scared, what was she doing?
What else did she expect from the man...?
The relationship between them was long gone.
In the car, the man's gaze fell on Kathy for a long time, the phone ringing for a long time also finally
subsided. However, it rang again soon after.
“Mr. Joseph, the agreement has been sent to your company, when are you coming back to sign?”
“This afternoon.”
“Okay, thank you very much, Mr. Joseph.”
After hanging up the phone, the smile on Joseph’s face became colder and colder.
...
In the next few days at the hospital, Kathy knew she would inevitably run into Joseph, so she would
purposely not go into the hospital room when he was there.
Joseph naturally noticed it so on the day Veronica was discharged from the hospital, he blocked Kathy
path at the office.
At that time, she was about to go to see Professor Watson, who had just returned back to the country.
“Mr. Joseph.” Kathy kept maintaining a distance between them.
“You still haven't told me about Veronica’s condition.” Joseph frowned.
In the past few days when Quinn was with Veronica, Kathy almost always explained Veronica's
condition to him.
“Veronica is recovering well, the professor will come over to take a look later, and if there's nothing
wrong, you can leave the hospital.” Kathy said faintly.
“Well, has it been a tough few day for you?” Joseph could clearly see dark circles under her eyes.
“It is alright.”
“Please rest more and don't stay up late when you go back to school.” Joseph instructed.
He knew how hard Kathy studied, and it was not uncommon for her to stay up all night.
“I know, Mr. Joseph, if there's nothing else, I'll go find Professor Watson first.”
After replying, she walked away without waiting for Joseph to speak.
The man started to frown after seeing her response.
Everything was fine, and Veronica was supposed to be able to leave the hospital, but she refused to
leave.
“I'm not well yet, so let me stay here a few more days more.” Veronica was in disagreement.
“The doctor knows your condition best, and he has agreed to discharge you from the hospital.”
Joseph’s face was stern.
“I, myself feel still very uncomfortable. So, my brother and Quinn, you can all go back first. Just let
Kathy come over to accompany me!” Veronica said in a rage.
Kathy was already about to go back to school, but she was called back again.
Knowing that Veronica was unwilling to leave, the helplessness of hers can be seen under her eyes.
“Miss Veronica, the hospital's beds are limited, and you're deliberately taking up medical resources.”
Kathy was unhappy.
As of right now, there were quite a few patients lined up for surgery, and Veronica only got this
treatment because of her special status.
Now that her surgery was finished, she still didn’t know what’s good for her.
“It's only for a few days, so let's continue observing my conditions.”
“You are not the one who runs this hospital.”
“But my brother holds some shares in this hospital!"
Kathy was speechless.
She then looked at Joseph and said, “Then Mr. Joseph will decide.”
