Jennifer returned to the Booth Mansion to rest after she had her wound dressed, and Bertie
accompanied her back. When Kathy returned to the ward, she finally remembered that it was a long
while since she had seen Joseph.
She missed him.
But he must have been busy with a lot of work affairs. At this thought, Kathy rested in her ward after
she had her dinner.
Time passed in minutes and seconds. The nurse came in for a few times, yet she still did not see
Joseph’s appearance.
On instinct, she called to the nurse on her way out, “Is Dr Joseph in the hospital?”
“He is, are you looking for him?”
“No, I’m just asking,” Kathy lowered her head.
The nurse returned to the office. Joseph was handling the Joseph Group’s affairs, but actually he was
not really that busy.
After a pause, she spoke, “Dr Joseph, Miss Kathy seems to be looking for you.”
Hearing this, Joseph lifted his gaze but his expression was still dark.
His mood have not been lifted for the entire afternoon.
John who was by the side saw it clearly.
It must have been because of Kathy again.
Further, his boss had not been in the office these few days and was in Kathy’s ward. Today was indeed
strange, as he was actually handling affairs in the office.
“How’s her condition?” asked Joseph.
“She’s fine, everything’s normal.”
“Alright.”
Then Joseph continued working.
The nurse and John were surprised…
Until midnight, Kathy had waited for Joseph but he did not come. Perhaps tonight he was not coming
over…
At this thought, overwhelming disappointment overtook her.
Kathy sat on the bed feeling frustrated. After a while she sat up, took out her phone and called Joseph!
In the silent office, Joseph looked at the vibrating phone and did not take heed of it.
Just that his phone kept ringing, Kathy did not give up at all.
After a while, only that Joseph picked up the phone and stepped out of the office.
When she saw Joseph coming, only that Kathy finally put her phone down.
She was very sure now, that Joseph had missed her call on purpose!
She was a little angry, but when she saw him, her anger subsided a lot immediately.
“Are you very busy?” Kathy looked at him unsurely.
Joseph’s expression was a little dark.
But now it looked a lot softer.
“Yes, I was busy,” he walked over.
As he saw the dinner beside Kathy was barely eaten, his brows furrowed.
“No appetite?” he asked.
Kathy pursed her lips, “It’s fine, I’m full.”
“Alright, then rest early.” As he said so, he tidied up the cutlery for her and wanted to leave.
Kathy looked at Joseph’s cold silhouette, she pouted but said nothing.
Was he angry?
“Joseph,” she was a little annoyed.
What was this!
The man at the door stopped in his steps and took a deep breath. He threw the rubbish and turned
back.
Kathy did not expect as she watched Joseph walk towards her, he actually pulled her into his embrace.
“I was jealous,” he said deeply.
Kathy was stunned. jealous?
She did not do anything…
“What?”
“Nothing,” Joseph did not continue.
But Kathy pulled on his collar, “Who are you jealous of?”
Joseph’s handsome face had a rare blush on it.
Kathy found out about it and she could not help but chuckled silently.
She recalled the events today, was it Bertie?
But she and Bertie had only normal contact.
She looked at Joseph in confusion, while he turned his head in awkwardness.
“I’m not jealous.”
“You are! Joseph, say it out!” Kathy pulled on his arm.
But when Joseph retreated, she did not manage to catch him but rather she caught the buttons on his
shirt…
Instantly, two buttons fell onto the floor making some noise.
Her gaze went up, the man’s well-built muscles were exposed slightly…
Kathy’s face turned red gradually.
She could not waiver her gaze…
“So anxious? Hmm?” The man’s chiding voice sounded at the top of her head. The next moment,
Kathy was already pressed upon his chest.
Her cheek was against his beating heart.
The warmth from his body radiated, as if it was going to burn her.
She came to her senses and wanted to push him away, but Joseph did not give her this opportunity.
“I didn’t do it on purpose,” she explained.
“No, it’s on purpose.”
Kathy, “…”
Looking at the buttons that fell on the floor, her gaze lifted. The handsomeness imprinted on her pupils
made her swallow nervously.
Her face became redder.
She bent down to pick up the button, just that this shirt could no longer be worn.
“What should I do…”
“John will send over a shirt later, but now, how does Miss Kathy plan to compensate my shirt?” Joseph
came close, holding onto her tiny hand, the bottom of his eyes glistened with joy.
Kathy was a little constrained. She knew that Joseph’s shirts all had six-figure price tags. Although the
Booth family had money, but she herself did not have that much of savings.
“I’ll try to save up and pay you back,” Kathy replied seriously.
Joseph frowned in dissatisfaction, this was not the answer that he wanted to hear.
He pulled Kathy into his embrace and held onto her chin, his gaze a little intimidating.
Kathy’s heart missed a beat.
“Joseph.”
“Save up? Am I in need of money?” He raised an eyebrow.
Kathy, “…”
Of course he was not!
“Then what do you want…” Kathy replied lowly.
“You’ve undressed me, what do you say we should do?” Joseph squinted, as if there was a dangerous
beast contained in his eyes.
Kathy stunned, she was too familiar with a Joseph like this.
Knowing his thoughts, she struggled to escape from him immediately.
“Don’t mess around… I’m still a patient!” Kathy glared at him.
But Joseph pulled her into his arms once again, bending down, his lips was on her ear, “Alright, I’ll wait
for you.”
It was actually a very normal thing to say, but coming out from Joseph’s lips it was tainted with
something else.
Umm…
Kathy only felt that her entire body was going soft.
Even her ears were red.
She could only sit up straight holding onto Joseph.
“Stop saying nonsense.”
Joseph rubbed her head affectionately, he had stopped teasing her. He ordered John to buy a shirt,
and it was sent over in less than half an hour.
He changed into his new shirt in front of Kathy.
Although her back was facing Joseph, she could not help but turn around, and stared at him
unblinkingly…
The more she looked, the more she found this man to be too charming.
Joseph was her man.
At this thought, Kathy face could not help it but curled into a smile.
“When the surgery is done, I’ll be yours.” Seeing through Kathy’s thoughts, Joseph came over, lifted
her face and landed a deep kiss.
Kathy sunk into his softness.
The day before the surgery, Kathy who had been relaxed all this while began to be nervous finally.
Although Joseph assured that the surgery would succeed, but she knew that the success rate of this
surgery was very low.
If anything had happened, she would not even be able to wake up.
She was afraid.
At this thought, Kathy walked to the balcony. The sunlight spilled in, but her vision was all dark.
She wanted to survive, this was the strongest thought at this moment.
She wanted to be with Joseph, she did not want… to leave him.
She did not want to lose him again.
