“Sorry, I was very busy today.” Joseph sat down on the side of the bed. Although he looked tired, his

gaze was still gentle when he looked at Kathy.

“What were you busy with?”

“The neuro surgeon who will be operating with me tomorrow is Aaron Fisher, I was discussing the

surgery plan with him.”

Kathy was surprised, “Wasn’t Dr Hussain going to do that?”

“He has something to deal with and can’t come back in time.” Joseph lied.

He didn’t want to affect Kathy’s mood.

Kathy didn’t think much of it. She was just a little worried because it was Aaron… Joseph and Aaron

had always been at odds. How did he agree to do the surgery this time?

Moreover, ever since she had joined medical school, Aaron had been targeting her.

She asked suspiciously, “He really agreed to operate on me?”

“Yeah, he is the best professor in Neurology department.”

She knew about his capability and she wasn’t doubting it.

“Did you guys reconcile?” She asked nervously.

“No, we haven’t. It’s a doctor’s responsibility to treat patients, he can’t just ignore someone due to

personal reasons.”

Kathy didn’t say anything.

What she was worried about had always been Joseph.

“It’s late. Go sleep, I’m going to sleep too.” Although she knew she was not going to be able to fall

asleep easily, she didn’t want to disturb Joseph when he should be resting.

“Good night, Mrs. Joseph.” Joseph kissed her affectionately.

Kathy smiled and hugged him for a long time before letting go.

When Kathy woke up the next day, the nurse was already there to take her to the operation theater.

At this moment, Kathy was very anxious and nervous.

Her gaze fell on the tall figure standing some distance away, the person she cared about the most in

life.

For him, she must pass through this hard time too, for him she must be strong.

She squeezed her palms and felt the effect of the anesthetic become stronger. She closed her eyes

nervously.

Joseph’s face was printed clearly on the inside of her eyelids. With him in her mind, she went under

anesthesia.

“Joseph, this is our first operation together.” Aaron walked over. The level of difficulty with this surgery

was a challenge for him and he liked it.

“Did you sleep well last night?” Joseph asked him.

“Yeah, very well. You look good.” Aaron was pleased.

Joseph smiled, turned and walked away towards the operating table, his expressions becoming

serious.

Aaron came over too, his face had the same seriousness on it too.

Bertie and Jennifer were waiting outside the operating room. Zofia, who was originally on a vacation

abroad, had also rushed back to the country.

Bertie put his arm around his sister’s shoulder and comforted her gently.

Zofia’s eyes were red.

“Kathy, you must come out of that room alive and well.”

At this time, Jennifer’s assistant rushed over.

“President Booth, Julian was just released.” Jennifer’s face sank as she heard this.

The assistant continued, “Diego took the initiative to confess the crime, saying he colluded with Billy,

and Julian is now acquitted.”

Bertie was standing beside them, and he heard this too. Diego didn’t care about the affairs of Joseph’s

group since a long time ago, but his close relationship with Julian was well known. It was obvious that

he took the blame for Julian.

“I didn’t know Diego would do this.” Bertie said coldly.

At this time, a security guard ran up, but he couldn’t find Joseph in the people standing outside the

operation theatre, “The police are outside, they say they are here to arrest Dr. Joseph.”

“Why? What did he do?” Jennifer frowned.

“That… I don’t know. They will be here soon.” The security guard said tremblingly.

Even though the hospital was tightly guarded, they couldn’t stop the police from coming in.

Looking at the time, the operation was expected to be completed in a total of five hours, and three

hours were still left.

“They must wait until the operation is completed.” Bertie said solemnly.

The police were there in a few moments.

However, seeing that Joseph was operating, they were willing to wait for the operation to be ended.

As the time passed, everyone was anxiously waiting for the red light to be turned off.

As soon as it was turned off, Jennifer ran to the door. The doctor who came out the door was Aaron.

“Doctor, how is my daughter…”

Aaron’s face was solemn and he did not speak.

Jennifer’s face slowly turned pale as the blood drained from her face.

She had a bad feeling in her heart.

Then Joseph walked out, “The patient is still not out of danger and is transferred to ICU for observation.

The operation was successful.”

As soon as he said that, everyone sighed with relief.

But…

“Why isn’t she out of danger? Didn’t you say that the operation as successful?” Bertie asked him in a

calm voice.

“Yes, but whether the patient wakes up or not depends on her will.” Joseph’s face was also solemn.

At this moment, the police officer who had been waiting patiently came forward, “Mr. Joseph, you are

accused of being involved in case of embezzlement of funds. We need you to cooperate with us and go

back to the police station for an investigation.”

Joseph took off his mask and before leaving turned to Aaron.

“Professor, please handle the situation here.”

Aaron nodded. After the operation, his heart felt heavy.

There were some accidents during the operation which were outside his control.

Even though Joseph rectified his mistakes but it led the operation time to be prolonged and the patient

fell into a coma.

He really made a mistake.

Taking a deep breath, he walked towards the ward. Jennifer who was walking after him with others

asked, “Doctor, when will she be able to wake up?”

Aaron pursed his lips, “It can be as soon as tomorrow.”

Or can take… he didn’t know how much time.

But he did not say it out loud.

Seeing his face, Bertie realized that Kathy’s condition was probably not very good.

However, he didn’t say anything in front of Jennifer, fearing that she might not be able to handle bad

news.

Walking out to the balcony, Bertie called his assistant.

“Why was Joseph arrested?”

“Julian reported to the police that Joseph misused the company’s funds.” The assistant reported.

“Where is Julian now?”

“He can’t be found.”

“Get me his location.”

As he hung up the phone Zofia came over.

“Bertie.” She sounded very nervous.

She had also noticed the strange tone of Aaron’s voice just now, and she was really worried about

Kathy.

“Kathy will be fine, don’t worry.” Bertie comforted his sister and inwardly comforted himself too.

Zofia nodded anxiously, then asked, “What happened to Joseph? I am worried what will happen to

Kathy if he is not here.”

“Dr. Aaron will take care of her. Come on, let me take you to the airport.” Bertie said.

“I don’t want to go back so quickly. Country C is so boring and empty.” Zofia was not happy.

Bertie frowned. Zofia always went to Country C during winter and summer vacations, it was already her

habit.

“If you don’t want to go back then just stay here.” He said. Bertie had always spoiled his sister with

love.

She smiled a bit, “My brother is the best.”

At the police station.

After recording his statement, Joseph was temporarily released on bail.

Outside, Julian seemed to be waiting for him.

“Tsk tsk! Aren’t you afraid?” Julian sneered.

Joseph’s face was pale, “Afraid of what?”

“Afraid of rotting in prison. After all, the evidence is solid this time.”

“Evidence?” Joseph sneered, “That you fabricated?”
