“You and Julian are not able to escape this.” Joseph had no intention of helping Herbert.
“I have a lot of evidence of his bribery over the last few years; I think you will need it.”
After he heard this, Joseph’s expression sharpened.
“With this evidence he would have to leave the Joseph’s Group.” Herbert approached him and said
coldly.
“How do I know if you are deceiving me or not?” Joseph narrowed his eyes.
In exchange for her freedom she would be a person able to do anything.
“Joseph, right now I extremely hate Julian.”
When Herbert came out, Kathy was sitting on the other side of the corridor.
She frowned and then walked over to her.
However Kathy never expected that she would be apologizing to her, “I’m sorry.”
Kathy was shocked and looked at Herbert suspiciously.
Herbert laughed, “Are you surprised? I have been thinking about many things over the last few days I
was at the police station. These last few years I had been secretly helping Julian do many things,
however I never would have thought that in the end he would report me, don’t you think this is
ridiculous?”
“You only have yourself to blame.” Kathy said rather indifferently, then paused and asked, “That time
when my thesis was swapped, was that also one of Julian’s orders?”
If Herbert really had been helping Julian all these years, then it could be possible that the incident
regarding her thesis had something to do with him.
But why would Julian do something like this.
She didn’t even know him.
“It was me who did that kind of thing, I’m jealous of you Kathy.” Herbert’s expression was completely
unperturbed.
However Kathy never believed too much and knew that Herbert wouldn’t say much more about this
anymore.
“Soon it is very possible that I could be sentenced to prison, so Kathy I wish you all the best.”
Once Herbert said this she turned around and left.
Kathy however thought that what Herbert said was a little strange.
She just didn’t understand.
When she entered the patient ward, Joseph was not surprised to see her.
“Did you miss me?” Joseph raised his lips.
Kathy glared at him rather irritably and said, “It was the professor who asked me to send you his
condolences for him.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes.” Kathy nodded her head.
After this the two of them were both silent.
Kathy looked down for she didn’t know what to say.
She wanted to be concerned about the Joseph’s Group affairs; however she wasn’t in the position to
ask.
What’s more was that she had just heard much of the conversation between Joseph and Herbert just
now and now understood a lot more about everything.
“How did your leg get this way…” Kathy frowned as she looked at the cast on Joseph’s leg.
“It was quite a severe injury.” Joseph’s tone was flat.
However Kathy trembled with fear…
“How did it happen?”
“No one to look after me, so I fell.”
“Isn’t John always by your side?” Kathy said.
“Not currently.”
Kathy’s eyes twitched, “There are also many nurses in this hospital.”
“Do you really think that I would let other people get close to me?” Joseph’s tone sank.
Kathy was silent, for it was true that Joseph had a very special status. Therefore apart from a few
people he was familiar with, he didn’t trust anyone else.
“Then just look after yourself well.”
“I don’t even know when I’ll get better.” Joseph’s voice seemed a little downcast.
Kathy trembled inside for she wanted to blurt out that she would look after him, however in the end she
swallowed up these words.
“I should go now.” She said.
But as soon as she stood up, Joseph pulled her into his arms.
The familiar smell rushed to her face, and when she raised her eyes, his handsome face so close to
her made her start to feel dizzy.
“How about you come and look after me during this period of time?” He made it sound like an order.
“I need to attend my classes.”
“When you finish with your classes come over.”
“It’s not really suitable for me to.” Kathy pressed onto his chest.
“Then what kind of person would be suitable to?” Joseph narrowed his eyes.
Kathy was silent, for it seemed that she couldn’t even just be friends with Joseph.
The person that looks after him should be someone who was on close and intimate terms with him, not
her.
“In any case, it shouldn’t be me.” Kathy pulled away from him.
However because Joseph was too strong, she couldn’t pull away.
“How about we get remarried?” He squeezed her chin, his tone of voice was deep but sounded very
sincere and from his heart.
Then in an instant Kathy’s heartbeat sped up, as if fireworks had exploded inside her mind.
She looked at Joseph in a daze; does he know what he was talking about?
To get remarried?
“Impossible.” Kathy refused almost immediately.
“Why?” Joseph’s expression seemed let down.
“When we got married before it was because of our families, but now we don’t have that kind of
pressure anymore.”
“Kathy, you don’t want to be together with me?” Joseph’s eyes were burning with passion.
Kathy almost indulged in this, however calmed herself down.
She bit her lip and didn’t say anything.
She didn’t know what Joseph meant by this, to stay by his side, since… he couldn’t like her.
The love that she wanted is the love each person has for each other to be equal.
If just one of the people in the relationship doesn’t feel love anymore, then there is no need to be
together anymore.
She didn’t want to get married on the spur of the moment again like before and repeat the same
mistakes.
“Kathy, I want you.” Once he said this he pressed her down onto the sofa.
His passionate kiss blocked her gentle breath.
When she finally returned to her senses, she was completely suppressed by Joseph and had no way to
escape.
She widened her eyes and shrunk back slightly.
But the more she tried to sink back the more force Joseph used.
With her hands clasped tightly by his she looked at Joseph’s handsome face and really felt so
powerless.
The familiar feeling spread throughout her whole body, he really knew her too well, he knew exactly
how and where to touch her.
Kathy stared at him out of breath.
Joseph’s eyes were fixated onto Kathy.
However in the next second Kathy slapped him. Joseph was not angry by this, but kept on looking at
her in this passionate way.
“Let go of me!” Kathy started to look angry.
“No.”
“You… stop it!” Kathy was so angry.
On what basis can he just kiss her whenever he wanted to?
The smile on Joseph’s face deepened, his long fingers continued to caress her smooth skin, and then
he went down to kiss her again.
But this time Kathy dodged it.
“I am never coming back here again!” She said this both to Joseph and to herself.
“Then what about my injury?”
“Get John to arrange a nurse to look after you!”
“Kathy, I only want you.” Joseph pulled her to his side again; however he then let out a painful wail.
Kathy’s foot kicked him by accident.
Kathy’s expression completely changed and she bent down worriedly, “Are you ok?”
“No I’m not.”
“I will get the doctor to come over.” Kathy said.
“I don’t need, I just need you to accompany me.”
“Joseph, are you just playing with me?” Kathy glared at him angrily.
“Kathy, I only trust you to stay by my side.”
Then at this moment, the sound of a knock on the door was heard. It was Veronica’s voice, “Joseph,
I’m coming in.”
Once she heard this, Kathy immediately pushed Joseph away.
She stood up rather awkwardly, her face completely flushed.
When Veronica saw the expression on their two faces she naturally understood.
However just as she was thinking about whether she should go back out, Kathy had already left.
She then looked at her brother again who looked sullen.
