The next day, Kathy woke up early to go to school, and she called Zofia on the way.
However, it was Bertie who answered the phone. "I'm taking her back to Country C. We're about to
board the plane."
Right now, Bertie was holding Zofia's phone. Otherwise, she would definitely run away. This was the
only way he could stop her.
"She's going back to Country C? What about her student status?"
"Retaining for now, but she may not come back to City N," Bertie said in a deep voice.
"Is she alright?"
"Yes." Bertie frowned, realizing that Kathy did not know about Joseph and Zofia.
"I'm boarding the plane. I have to go."
Bertie put down the cell phone, and Zofia immediately rushed over, trying to snatch it. Bertie threw it to
the assistant beside him.
He clasped his sister's wrist and took her into the cabin.
Zofia was still struggling, snapping, "I don't want to go back. I'm begging you, please. You know they'll
force me to go on a blind date when I get home. I don't want to marry a man I don't love."
Bertie's heart ached. "I don't want you to marry a man who doesn't love you."
Zofia pursed her lips and suddenly covered her stomach. She squatted down and said, "I need to go to
the bathroom."
"I'll accompany you."
"Wait outside!"
However, after Zofia went inside, she soon disguised herself and left. Bertie had let his guard down.
When Bertie realized that, his face sank.
"Mr Marshall, the shareholders' meeting scheduled in the afternoon has been brought forward." The
assistant reported nervously.
"Go back!"
Zofia slowly walked out after watching her brother board the plane.
Upon receiving Zofia's call, Kathy was surprised.
It was an unknown number, but she recognized Zofia's voice.
"Kathy, my brother wants to take me back to Country C. I have no one else to turn to except you."
Zofia's sobbing voice sounded.
"Zofia, where are you?"
"I'm at the airport."
She had just arrived at the hospital, and Reece was beside her. He looked at Kathy's worried
expression and asked, "What happened?"
Kathy looked at him silently.
"We're not taking any new patients today. If you have something to do, you can ask for a leave," said
Reece.
"Reece, thank you," Kathy said sincerely.
"If it's urgent, I can give you a ride." Reece looked at his watch.
"No, thanks."
Seeing Kathy run out, Reece's face sank.
Having arrived at the airport, Kathy found Zofia in a corner.
She curled up with a pale face and red eyes.
Seeing Kathy, she tried to force a smile, but failed.
"Kathy..."
"Zofia, I'll bring you to the Booth's," said Kathy.
"Are you sure? Am I causing too much for you?" Zofia looked guilty.
"Not at all. We have servants in the house. You'll feel comfortable there." Kathy gave Zofia a comforting
hug.
"Then, will you stay with me?" Zofia muttered, "I'm so lonely."
Kathy paused. Thinking of Joseph, she felt that he would be jealous.
But she didn't want to leave Zofia alone.
"You can go back to Joseph Bay. I'd better go back to school." Zofia pushed her away gently.
"You haven't recovered yet." Kathy frowned.
"I'm fine. I should put those things behind me." Zofia's eyes flashed with coldness.
"Kathy, thank you. You've done a lot for me." Zofia's tone was bitter.
Kathy's heart ached even more, but she did not want to comment on other people's relationships.
Zofia was her friend and she respected her decision.
She accompanied Zofia back to Ocean University. She looked at the watch and went to the Central
Hospital to wait for Joseph.
However, when she arrived, there was a patient who needed Joseph to perform surgery immediately.
Ella was beside him.
She paused. She was not wearing a white gown, so she could not go up to help.
"What's the patient's condition?" She walked to the nurse's desk and asked.
Recognizing that she was a doctor in the hospital, the nurse quickly told Kathy about the situation.
She looked at the watch and knew that it would take Joseph at least three hours to complete the
operation.
She'd better go back to work.
When she turned around, Reece was about to leave.
Seeing Kathy, he walked over and said, "Do you want to work overtime?"
"Can I?" She raised her eyebrows.
After she worked for a while, Joseph would be off work.
Reece understood that she wanted to wait for Joseph. He returned to the consultation room.
Dona had given them a lot of homework that Kathy and Reece needed to complete together.
"What did you go to do just now?" Reece asked casually.
"It's about Zofia." Kathy did not elaborate.
Reece frowned as he turned the pen with his fingers. His eyes were burning with warmth as he looked
at Kathy.
"How do you feel about working with me?"
They had been working together for half a month.
Generally speaking, there hadn't been any major problems. For minor mistakes, Reece would correct
Kathy immediately.
"You're responsible and always know what you're doing. I've learned a lot from you," Kathy said calmly.
"I asked Professor Zane to transfer you to me," Reece told her straightforwardly.
Kathy was surprised, though she had thought of this possibility before.
"Reece, why would you do that?" Kathy looked down.
"There are many interns who want to work with me, but I chose you. Don't you feel very lucky?" Reece
teased.
"No, I don't." Her calm face turned a little cold.
She didn't forget that Reece had threatened her during the interview.
"I still have one year left before I graduate. You must stay by my side this year." Reece said firmly.
"Reece, do you think you can control me?" Kathy looked up, her eyes pure and clean.
This pair of eyes made Reece's heart racing.
However, he had always been good at concealing emotions.
"Yes, I do." The smile on Reece's lips grew colder.
Since she dared to come to University F, why couldn't he do so?
The next second, Kathy stood up angrily. In her eyes, Reece was a wolf wearing sheepskin.
"Are you afraid?" said Reece, a playful smile tugging at his lips.
"I'm not." She looked at him calmly.
"Recently, don't you think Zofia is a little odd?" Reece suddenly said.
Kathy paused and looked at him in confusion.
"Joseph and she have a history. Silly woman, don't get fooled by your friend."
"I don't buy it," Kathy blurted out.
If this were true, Joseph would have told her.
But Joseph did not say anything about this.
However, when she thought of the perfume on Joseph last night, she turned pale.
"Otherwise, why would Zofia have an abortion? Because that child isn't Joseph's." Reece looked at her
expression and knew that what he said was affecting her.
"If a man is not honest with you, do you think he really loves you?"
Kathy bit her lips. She absolutely believed Joseph loved her.
"Reece, this is my business. I don't need you to teach me what to do," Kathy said angrily.
"You're my intern. I'm saying this for your own good. Joseph and everyone from that family have secret
ambitions." Hatred surfaced in Reece's eyes.
