"Aaron, I'm warning you, don't talk nonsense." Joseph finally fixed his eyes on him, looking rather cold.
But Aaron didn't seem to see it, and smiled wider, "I only tell the truth."
Kathy listened to the conversation between the two, feeling quite tense.
There was something between the lines, but she knew nothing about it.
The meeting would start soon, so Kathy didn't have time to gossip, just holding Joseph's hand with
worry and trying to calm him down.
Joseph always had great self-control. He smiled and said, "Don't worry. I never care about him."
Then Jax gave his speech, which lasted for three hours. After that, they needed to award the candidate
of the outstanding neurologist. Joseph was the one to present the award.
Kathy then knew that Joseph came to present awards.
Looking at the man in a white shirt and black pants on the stage, Kathy's eyes were filled with
adoration.
After giving the award, Joseph also gave a short speech.
Under his leadership, the Joseph's Group would invest hundreds of millions of dollars in the research
and development of scarce drugs on the market in the next decade.
This move undoubtedly caused a sensation. Joseph didn't stay on the stage for a long while. After
signing an agreement with the Institute of Materia Medica, he got off the stage.
But he still gained a lot of attention as he was getting back to his seat.
Kathy was shocked. She knew that although the Joseph's Group was low-key, it had powerful
economic strength. Joseph invested so much money in research and development, which greatly
promoted the long-term development of the domestic pharmaceutical industry.
"What? Are you tempted by me?" Joseph sat down beside Kathy. She still didn't come to her senses,
shocked at what Joseph said just now.
"Yeah, you are so handsome!" Kathy blurted out looking at the handsome man in front of her.
Joseph curled his lips. "Actually, I didn't do anything."
Kathy was speechless.
They had invested a billion, but it turned out that Joseph didn't take it seriously.
She was envious.
But since he was contributing to the pharmaceutical industry, Kathy naturally supported him.
The meeting didn't end until the evening. There were successive young doctors giving speeches later,
Kathy was a little tired hearing all the speeches.
"Are you tired?" Joseph turned his head and saw that Kathy's eyes were about to close.
"No..." Kathy's eyes widened hard.
Joseph smiled faintly, "Let's leave then."
"Huh? But the meeting is not over yet."
They were sitting in the middle, which would be very conspicuous if they went out.
"There is nothing important next." Joseph looked at the time.
"Oh. I'll follow you."
In fact, many people attending the meeting had already left. Now it was the time for people to talk
freely. Many reporters came in. Aaron also went out at this time and walked directly to the place where
reporters having interviews.
"Joseph's Group has made such a huge investment. Do you know why?" As Aaron said, the
surrounding reporters immediately rushed to him. The microphones all surrounded him.
Kathy also stopped because she heard Aaron.
She didn't intend to hear some gossip but felt that Aaron's tone was weird.
"Five years ago, Joseph, as a neurologist intern, decided to perform a surgery for a patient by himself.
During that surgery, the patient, my sister, died on the spot."
When he finished, the reporters were in an uproar.
Unexpectedly, something like this happened five years ago. As a doctor, Joseph rarely had medical
disputes, and his surgery success rate was almost 100%. There was no doubt that he had always been
one of the best doctors in neurology.
But now Aaron said that Joseph made a mistake before and caused the death of the patient.
Kathy and Joseph were about to leave the hall, but Aaron spoke through the microphone. Everyone in
the room could hear them clearly.
Naturally, Joseph was also included.
His face was tense. He held Kathy and quickly stepped out of the hall. Before the reporters surrounded
him, bodyguards stepped forward to block them.
Kathy was holding Joseph's hands. His coldness made her afraid and worried.
In the car, Joseph never said a word. Kathy looked at his cold face, trying to say something.
What Aaron said just now would surely be spread.
But he did it at the grand meeting just now. Aaron... was trying to ruin Joseph.
"What do you want to say?" Seeing Kathy kept looking at him, Joseph relaxed a little and asked faintly.
"Joseph, I believe in you no matter what happened." Kathy took a deep breath and said in a low voice.
The next second, before Kathy could react, Joseph held the back of her head. Kathy was almost
drowned in his passionate kiss.
She clearly felt his feelings.
It felt as if he was struggling.
A man who always seemed to be invincible actually had a vulnerable side.
However, he had long got used to hiding this side of him.
"Don't worry. What he said can't affect me at all." The fierceness flashed across Joseph's eyes.
Even if Joseph said this, Kathy still couldn't be reassured.
As Kathy felt rather anxious, they arrived at the hotel. Joseph was dealing with his work as usual. Kathy
looked at the Internet. It was true that what happened just now wasn't spread out.
But the doctors who attended the meeting this time all had an app with a chat group. Now it caused a
sensation in the group.
Joseph was rarely involved in these social activities, so he was not in the group. But Kathy was in the
group.
Many doctors regarded Joseph as an idol. Now Aaron suddenly exposed this incident. Although it
wouldn't make people doubt Joseph's strength, there was controversy about what he did five years
ago.
Aaron was also in the group. Many students asked about what happened that year. Aaron tried to fuel
the matter, so he narrated the whole incident. He mainly said that Joseph made the decision for the
patient to have surgery without authorization, but in fact, the success rate of the surgery was too low.
There had not been any successful cases before that year, but Joseph insisted on performing the
surgery on his own. The patient, unfortunately, passed away during the surgery.
Kathy didn't know how much what Aaron said was true. Back then, Joseph was just an intern, so how
could he influence a patient's mind?
As she knew, Joseph wouldn't do it unless he was extremely positive. Otherwise, he would respect the
patient's opinion.
Kathy couldn't help refuting in the group, "One-sided words are not credible."
But because there were too many people speaking in the group, her message was quickly covered.
Kathy still replied with perseverance. The group was divided into two sides—One side believed in
Joseph while the other side supported Aaron.
Kathy was still replying in the middle of the night.
When Joseph came over, he happened to saw her message, "Don’t make stories up. Dr. Joseph has
great medical ethics. He has the unquestionable ability. I won't accept any rebuttal!"
Perceiving the familiar feeling approaching, Kathy was startled. It was too late to close her app.
"There is no need to quarrel with these people." He helped her switch her phone off.
"Well, I can't let these people who can't tell right or wrong insult you," Kathy said righteously.
She really couldn't be as calm as Joseph.
