Kathy laid down in Joseph’s room. This was where Joseph once lived, and it felt familiar to her.
“If for my child afterwards, I would want to decorate a room so adorable for him too.”
“Sure, then we should get remarried faster,” Joseph added on to her words.
Kathy stunned, every time Joseph mentioned about remarriage it always took her by surprise.
“Then we should plan properly,” Kathy replied seriously.
“Yes, plan to have how many children.”
Kathy was speechless.
She decided to stop this subject!
The following day, when Kathy woke up, the space beside her was already empty. According to usual
practice, Joseph would wake up earlier than her to make breakfast.
But this was not Joseph Bay, there were no ingredients.
After she went off the bed to tidy herself, Kathy went out into the corridor and her footsteps stopped at
the half-opened study.
Joseph’s back was facing the door, his tall silhouette facing the French windows, an ignited cigarette at
his fingertips.
This man was smoking in the early morning!
She went in furious, as Kathy reached over and took Joseph’s cigarette.
“No smoking, Joseph!”
She knew that Joseph had no habit of smoking. Normally, he would only smoke when there was
something bothering him.
But it was so early, so it still worried her.
“Alright,” Joseph turned around. His moody emotions had already been hidden by him.
“Why don’t you sleep for a bit more?” Kathy was unhappy.
Joseph pulled her into an embrace, his voice ringing in Kathy’s ears, “You won’t let Aaron go, right?”
“Umm.”
“He saved me before,” Kathy mumbled.
Before that she had thought that actually Aaron was not targeting her specifically. At least when her life
was endangered, he was still willing to perform her surgery.
“I helped him to get the position of deputy headmaster, that’s why he was willing to perform the
surgery,” Joseph replied coldly.
If it was not for this benefit, Aaron would not give his help.
“I see. Joseph, I didn’t know,” Kathy looked at him.
Joseph has done too much for her in silence.
A lot of them Kathy only found out after.
“You didn’t need to know. If the result of everything turned out right in the end, it’ll be enough,” Joseph
looked at her deeply.
After John sent over the clothes and the new phone, he kept waiting outside.
The car started slowly, but Joseph told John to go to the cemetery.
Kathy had wanted to go back to the campus, but on second thought she decided to accompany
Joseph.
She was worried about letting him to be alone now.
Joseph’s mother, Hazel Clark was not buried at the cemetery of the Joseph family, but rather in a
cemetery in the northside out of town.
The dark sky eventually rained slightly. Joseph held an umbrella in one hand and in his other hand he
held hands with Kathy, as they walked up the middle of the hill step by step.
The man was dressed in a black shirt and black pants, his entire body radiated with a deeply chilling
aura.
On instinct, Kathy grasped back onto Joseph’s hand.
There was a photo of Hazel on the gravestone. It could be seen that the women’s features were
exquisite, and she was extremely beautiful.
Joseph took the bunch of lilacs from John and knelt down slowly.
And Kathy too, followed Joseph’s actions. The two’s hands were still intertwined.
“Mum, I’m sorry, it was me who didn’t protect you properly,” Joseph’s voice sounded heavy.
The rain was getting heavier, John who was holding the umbrella could only cover Kathy. Joseph was
long soaking wet.
After a while, Joseph was still not getting up. Kathy was worried that his body could not take it.
Since the rain was too heavy, the chill was piercing.
“Joseph, your mother knows you love her,” Kathy consoled him.
Joseph’s eyes looked down, his thin lips pursed together tightly. Looking at Kathy’s pale expression, he
spoke slowly, “Call her Mum.”
Kathy stunned for a while and quickly came to understand.
She looked at Joseph deeply, turned her gaze and spoke, “Mum, I’m Kathy. Thank you for giving birth
to Joseph and allowing him to by my side.”
As she knelt for a little too long, Kathy almost lost her balance as she stood up. Joseph held on to her
steadily.
“Thank you, Kathy.”
“It is I who should thank you, you’re finally opening up to me.”
“Whatever that you want to know afterwards, I’ll always tell you,” Joseph replied deeply.
“I don’t believe, since you hide me do many things before,” Kathy pretended to be angry on purpose.
“How would I dare to lie before my mother,” Joseph replied passionately.
The two were both wet. John sent the two back to Joseph Bay first to change their clothes. Kathy
looked at the time and decided to go back to campus.
Joseph also had to handle a lot of the Joseph’s group affairs that had been not done. The car stopped
at the entrance of the school as Kathy looked at the man beside her and was unwilling to leave.
“Joseph, I’ll be at the hospital this afternoon and tomorrow,” Kathy told him her schedule.
“Alright, I’ll be at the Joseph’s group these few days, and on Friday morning I have to see my patients.”
“Then I’ll go back now,” Kathy’s gaze never left Joseph’s being.
The next second, Joseph pressed her onto the chair and only let her go after a long kiss.
“Don’t look at me like that or I’ll bring you back to the Joseph’s group now.”
Kathy could not help but laugh, “Keep dreaming.”
After she said so, she went off the car quickly.
She could not neglect her studies after all.
Since she did not turn, Joseph did not order for the driver to start driving.
Although she could not see the interior of the car from the outside, but Kathy’s gaze kept staring at the
blacked out window. After a while, only she started walking back.
Zofia had been alone in the room for a few days. When she saw Kathy back, she could not help but
tease her, “If you keep not coming back, I would have thought you have eloped with Joseph.”
Kathy was speechless.
“Something happened to Joseph yesterday,” Kathy frowned.
“What happened?” Zofia came over.
“Aaron sent someone to dig up Joseph’s mother’s grave,” Kathy was unhappy.
Something like this had happened, yet it seemed like she could not do anything to help Joseph.
Zofia’s eyes widened, apparently this shocked her too.
Many knew that Aaron and Joseph were not seeing eye to eye. Further, two days ago Aaron had
exposed Joseph’s medical negligence incident from five years ago in front of the reporters. This had
caused quite a commotion.
Although there had already been quite a lot of the doctors who took part in the surgery that came out to
clarify here and there, this incident still took an effect on Joseph’s reputation.
Further, most importantly, Joseph himself never came out to clear his name.
But now, Aaron did something even more over the line.
“Kathy, five years ago, Dr Joseph was innocent right?” asked Zofia.
The internet had quite a dispute over this matter, but on instinct, Zofia too trusted Joseph.
“Yes, I believe him.”
“I think Professor Aaron is out of his luck. He couldn’t possibly afford to offend the Joseph now,”
Although Aaron was deputy headmaster now, but she heard some news from her brother that Joseph’s
influence was long assimilated into Ocean University. To drive Joseph away, it was something easy to
do.
“Pray so, I’m afraid that Aaron will continue to be so extreme,” this was what Kathy was worried about.
“Aaron already has a bad reputation in campus, he had so much of negative news.”
