Her eyes gradually turned red, and she couldn't control her emotions. Kathy took a deep breath and
just turned around, but slammed into a familiar embrace.
Joseph... when did he come?
She looked at the man in front of her and hugged him.
Joseph raised his slender fingertips and gently wiped her tears.
He knew her fear, and he could only comfort her silently at this moment.
“Everything will be fine.” He said in a low voice after a while.
Kathy didn't speak, rubbing against Joseph's chest, she raised her head.
Looking at Joseph's handsome face, she just wanted to remember him forever.
If... she really couldn't make it through.
“Joseph, if I die...”
“You won’t.” Joseph interrupted her quickly.
“I mean, if.” Kathy murmured.
“There will be no such thing.”
“You listen to me!” Kathy stood on tiptoe and covered his mouth.
Looking at him with her gleaming eyes, Kathy slowly said, “If I die, you should not...”
Before she finished speaking, Joseph had already clasped her wrist and pushed her hard against the
wall, and then kissed her passionately, blocking all her words.
Joseph was very patient to kiss the tears off her face.
But her eyes were like an opened faucet, and her tears kept running.
It was too embarrassed.
She turned back, but Joseph pulled her into his arms.
Why did she lose control in front of him?
“If anything happens to you, my life will never be easy.” With a hoarse voice, he seemed to roar.
Kathy stared at him without blinking, and met Joseph's red eyes. He....
The next second, she was kissed by him again.
Scalding tears dripped on her back, which was so hot.
Kathy trembled, and slowly raised her hands, hugging Joseph.
Subconsciously, she said, “I will be fine.”
At least for Joseph, she had to hold on.
“OK.” Joseph quickly adjusted his emotions. When Kathy raised his eyes, the man with red eyes
seemed to be an illusion.
After dinner, Jennifer and Bertie were supposed to come, but Kathy refused.
She wanted to be alone.
Both Alexia and Zofia talked to her on the phone, and Kathy felt better with the encouragement of her
friends.
However, she should get over this hurdle by herself.
Not far away, Joseph sat on the sofa, with the laptop in front of him as always. But he did not focus on
his job.
Kathy looked at him blankly, and his face was indelibly printed on her brain.
She curled up her lips and said,” Joseph, go back and have a rest.”
These nights Joseph stayed with her and didn't have much rest. He would perform the operation
tomorrow, so he can't stay up anymore.
“Well, go to rest now.” Joseph responded, pinching his eyebrows, and walking towards Kathy.
Watching him come by, Kathy was stunned.
“You want to sleep here?”
“Do you think I can sleep well without you by my side?” Joseph said in a deep voice.
Kathy bit her lip and moved to get him half of the bed.
Watching Joseph lay down, her heart thumped.
She was nervous and did not lie down for a long time.
“Kathy.” When the familiar voice sounded, Kathy turned her head and saw that Joseph had closed his
eyes.
She gradually relaxed.
She lay down and turned her face to look at Joseph's handsome profile. She seemed to be losing sleep
tonight...
“Hey, sleep.” Joseph opened his eyes suddenly.
Kathy stared at him intently, looking very energetic.
She seemed to be really… unable to sleep.
It was twelve hours before tomorrow's surgery.
“You sleep, I watch you.” Kathy looked at Joseph without blinking.
Joseph frowned and stretched out his arms to put Kathy in his arms. He pressed his chin against her
forehead and kissed her gently.
“If you don't sleep, I won't sleep either.”
“No! You are the doctor in charge of the operation tomorrow, and I will go to bed after anesthesia...”
Kathy muttered.
So, she could sleep all day tomorrow during the operation!
But Joseph should maintain a high level of concentration in the operation, he must have rest!
Thinking of this, Kathy closed Joseph's eyes by her hands.
But he didn’t close his eyes.
Kathy was a bit miffed, “Close your eyes!”
“I want to see you fall asleep before I go to sleep.” Joseph clasped her wrist and wasn't swayed.
Kathy bulged her cheeks, and she was really not sleepy!
However, considering Joseph, she closed her eyes obediently.
The lights in the ward were turned off. Joseph looked at Kathy's clean face and kissed the top of her
head softly, feeling her steady breathing, and he sat up slowly.
The deep emotions in his eyes spread, he walked out of the corridor, just took out the cigarette case,
when a long figure approached.
Bertie looked at Joseph and asked in a deep voice, “Did she sleep?”
“Yes.”
“Is she in a good mood?”
“She cried.” Joseph frowned.
At the thought of Kathy's crying face, his heart ached.
Only nicotine could calm him down a little bit.
Bertie was silent and smoked fiercely. He rushed over immediately after calming Jennifer to rest.
“You have surgery tomorrow, I'll be on guard tonight.” Bertie said.
Joseph frowned and looked at the half-open door. He couldn't sleep at all.
However, he must rest tonight, otherwise he would have a bad mental state tomorrow.
The two men looked at each other, and they had a rare tacit understanding at the moment.
Joseph went back to the office, and Bertie stayed alone outside the ward.
In the early morning, there was a sudden scream in the ward. Kathy was scared and sweated, and
immediately woke up.
In the dark ward, nothing could be seen, and Kathy's heartbeat was so fast. Just now she dreamed of...
the scene of her death on the operating table after a failed operation.
She felt cold in the back at thought of this.
When she was panicking, there was a sound of footsteps at the door, and as the light above her head
turned on, Kathy subconsciously called, “Joseph—”
The footsteps stopped abruptly.
She raised her eyes, and it was Bertie.
Kathy's face paled for a while, and she didn't say anything.
Bertie stepped closer and asked with concern, “Have you had a nightmare?”
Kathy nodded.
Bertie brought a glass of warm water and sat down beside Kathy. “It's okay, I'm here.”
Kathy looked down and felt a sense of loss.
“Didn't you go back?” she asked lowly.
“Joseph rests tonight, and I will be guarding outside.”
Kathy raised her eyes and pulled her lips lightly, “Thank you.”
“Go to sleep, do you need to turn off the lights?” Bertie asked as Kathy's face improved a lot.
Kathy nodded.
The next day, Kathy woke up at 8 o'clock on time. Bertie was still sitting next to her and stayed up all
night.
“Bertie, you go back and have a rest.”
She was about to enter the operating room.
Bertie didn't move, looked at the time and said, “I'll leave after you enter the operating
room.”
