"I'll take care of it," Joseph said solemnly, frowning slightly.
"I know, but this is the least I can do." Kathy looked at him sincerely.
Joseph held her face. His slender fingers stroked her eyebrows with affection.
"Kathy, thank you."
Kathy stood on tiptoe and met Joseph's eyes. She murmured, "What was going on back then?"
"I am indeed responsible for the death of Aaron's sister," Joseph said.
Kathy's eyes widened. She suddenly felt scared.
She covered Joseph's mouth subconsciously.
Joseph held her wrist and gently told her.
Five years ago, Joseph was an intern with Jax. Aaron's sister, Sabrina Fisher, was admitted to the
hospital because of a brain tumor. But because of the special position of the tumor, it was not easy to
perform surgery, which resulted in a disagreement. Jax suggested that they could perform surgery, but
there were no clinically successful cases at that time. But if the tumor was not removed, Sabrina would
not live long. But Sabrina agreed to have the surgery, but Joseph must be appointed to perform the
surgery.
"Why does Sabrina ask you to have surgery?" Kathy asked suspiciously.
"She told me that she loved me. I rejected her."
Kathy was speechless.
At this moment, there was only one thought in her mind. A woman was easy to fall for this handsome
man.
"Did you perform the surgery on her?" Kathy asked nervously.
"Yes." Joseph said, "Her condition is similar to yours, but she is not so lucky. The tumor has
deteriorated. The surgery lasts for too long. So many things got out of control."
"But Sabrina decided to have surgery herself. She knows the risks. Why does Aaron blame it on you
now?" Kathy angrily said.
"He was angry that I rejected Sabrina at the time, which affected Sabrina’s mood and caused her to be
very emotional. The patient’s mentality is very important for the recovery of the illness and would also
affect her decision. She demanded to ask me to perform surgery. At that time, I was not the most
suitable doctor."
Kathy fell silent and didn't speak for a while, feeling a bit sad.
Joseph raised her head. "So, I am also responsible."
"It's not your fault," Kathy retorted.
Sabrina was paranoid.
The next day, this incident broke out anyway, but in addition to Aaron’s remarks, the old professor, Jax,
also had an interview. He explained that the patient requested to have the surgery herself. He was
Joseph’s mentor, so he supervised the entire surgery. As for the patient's death, both doctors and
patients were responsible. But before the surgery was done, the patient was aware of the risks.
In addition to Jax coming out to clarify, the director of the relevant hospital also came out to criticize,
questioning that Aaron's remarks were slandering others. He also made a complaint against him.
Aaron had just been promoted to the vice president of Ocean University and was also the head of the
hospital. People's attention was gradually drawn to him.
As Kathy saw this news, she felt better after feeling tense the whole night.
Joseph didn't need to attend the meeting anymore. Kathy was called to go to the meeting hall by
Benedict, so she left after confirming that Joseph was in good mood.
As for Kathy, Joseph was acting so calmly after such a big incident.
Benedict naturally knew what happened yesterday. Of course, he was angry about it.
"Aaron is irrational. He can't let go of things back then and even slander people everywhere." Joseph
had always been a doctor whom Benedict admired very much, so he also knew Joseph's character
well.
Now Aaron slandered Joseph in public. Benedict was also one of the people who couldn't help but
speak up.
"Benedict, thank you for trusting Dr. Joseph," Kathy said gratefully.
"Of course I believe in Joseph. He is the one I have been watching him grow and the student I value
most."
...
At this time, in the hotel, Joseph stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. The warm light shone, but
he still looked so cold.
John's voice sounded nervous, "Sir, your mother's grave has been dug."
In the next second, Joseph's deep eyes looked rather gloomy. The cigarette between his fingertips was
crushed by him.
He walked over with an intimidating aura.
John didn't dare to continue speaking.
He was afraid of his boss...
"Who did it?" Joseph asked gloomily.
"We're still investigating..."
"Go back to City N now."
As he finished his words, he had already left.
In less than two hours, the private jet landed slowly at City N Airport.
John followed behind his boss in horror. He didn't dare to speak anymore even if he wanted to report
something about work.
Joseph looked really intimidating...
...
After having dinner with Benedict, Kathy went back to the hotel.
The two-day meeting was almost over. Benedict would go back to City N tomorrow. Kathy also wanted
to go back, but she still wanted to ask Joseph about his plan.
But when she returned to the hotel room, it was empty! Only her luggage was left...
Kathy froze and looked around, not coming to her senses for a long while.
She thought, "Did Joseph go back?"
She took out her mobile phone, only to find that she hadn't received any phone call or message from
him.
Her eyes were red. She took a deep breath, unable to regain her composure for a while.
"Did something happen?"
A moment later, she immediately dialed Joseph's number, but she couldn't get through.
Therefore, she called John immediately. Fortunately, John answered the phone.
"Ms. Kathy, Mr. Joseph... Mr. Joseph is in City N," John said.
After getting off the plane, Joseph drove away by himself. He didn't know where his boss was going.
"Why did he go back? Why can't I get through his phone? Did something happen..." Kathy asked in a
panic.
Joseph had always been a very accountable man, especially after the two officially started dating
during this period. He wouldn't disappear for no reason.
Something must have happened...
John was silent, not knowing whether he could say it.
Kathy was even more nervous as she couldn't hear John's response for a while.
"John, what happened to Joseph?!" Kathy sounded impatient.
After a while, John said nervously, "Mr. Joseph's mother's grave was dug up, so Mr. Joseph rushed
back to City N immediately, but I don't know where he has gone..."
Kathy was dumbfounded. "Joseph's mother?"
She didn't know much about Joseph's mother. She only knew that she was dead because of Julian
several years ago.
There was no further information about her.
But she knew that Joseph loved his mother so much, which was why he had an intense hatred of
Julian.
After hanging up the phone, Kathy calmed down and immediately booked the flight to go back to City N
as soon as possible.
She had been trying to call Joseph along the way, but he didn't answer.
The plane was slowly taking off, so Kathy could only put down her phone. Only then did she notice that
the passenger beside her turned out to be... Aaron!
Her face suddenly turned gloomy.
