"Reece, thank you for your tips, but I won't doubt Joseph."
With that, Kathy quickly packed her things and left.
The hospital was filled with the smell of disinfectant, but at this moment, she felt suffocated.
She wouldn't doubt Joseph.
He wouldn't lie to her.
She took a deep breath. It had been three hours since she arrived at the neurology department.
Joseph's operation should be over soon.
Ella pushed open the office door with a white gown in her hand. She was surprised when she saw
Kathy.
After putting down the clothes, she went out emotionlessly.
There was a lipstick in the open pocket.
Kathy frowned, picked up the lipstick and chased after Ella, "Take your thing away."
"Oh, how could I have forgot this? This is a gift from Joseph," Ella said deliberately.
"Ella, you must be living in a dream, right?" Kathy tore her lie.
"You ... if you don't believe me, suit yourself!" Ella was so angry that she jumped.
Originally, she wanted to see Kathy angry. The calmer Kathy was, the angrier she became.
"It has been reported that this brand of lipstick has quality issues. I advise you not to use it." Her tone
was indifferent.
"You!" Ella was furious and smashed the lipstick.
Joseph was coming out of the operating room. Ella started to sob, looking pitiful.
Kathy was standing next to her. An outsider who didn't know the whole story would think that she was
being bullied by Kathy.
Kathy frowned. What a naïve girl.
For some reason, she did not want to see Joseph at the moment.
She turned around and walked into the elevator. Joseph's face sank and he immediately chased after
her.
However, Ella stopped him. "Dr Joseph, Kathy just smashed my lipstick. She doesn't like me working in
the same department as you!"
"If Kathy is jealous, I'm happy to see it." Joseph, on the other hand, gave a sweet remark.
Ella pouted, crying harder.
After leaving the hospital, Kathy originally wanted to go back to Joseph Bay, but she didn't want to see
Joseph, so she decided to go back to school.
Just as she stopped a taxi, Joseph came over and hugged her.
Kathy bumped into a familiar embrace and she resisted.
"Let go of me!"
"Ella was provoking you on purpose. Don't be angry, alright?" Joseph said gently.
"I'm not angry." At this moment, she had calmed down a little bit, and her tone was gentler.
Joseph held her hand and said, "You've got wrinkles on your face, and you expect me to believe that
you're not angry?"
"I don't have wrinkles!" Kathy retorted angrily.
However, Joseph's words had greatly improved her mood.
"Let's go home, huh?" Joseph held her hand and took her to the Cayenne.
Kathy struggled a few times but couldn't break free. Finally, Joseph got her into the car.
It seemed that she never had a way to resist him.
"Do you know what Ella said to me just now?"
"What did she say?"
"She said you gave her a lipstick."
"My money is in your hands. Where do I get the money to buy lipstick for her?" Joseph smiled.
"So, if you have money, will you buy it for her?" Kathy said, intentionally pulling a long face.
"No. Kathy, I won't buy things for anyone except future Mrs Joseph." Joseph's voice was gentle and
deep.
When he looked at her, his eyes were glinting, charming and irresistible.
However, Reece's words flashed through Kathy's mind and she paused.
"You promised." Kathy reached out her pinky finger.
"Alright." Joseph hooked her finger and dotingly kissed her on the forehead.
After they returned to Joseph Bay, the servant had cleaned the house. Kathy sat on the sofa, feeling
relaxed.
But Reece's message made her tense up again.
She still had a lot of homework to do!
Kathy opened her bag and continued with her homework. However, Professor Zane's analysis
questions were difficult. Kathy had been sitting in the living room for a long time, but she couldn't come
up with an answer.
Joseph had just cooked some food for both of them. Looking at Kathy's upset expression, he walked
over and took the exercise paper in her hand.
"This patient has nystagmus. You should consider whether there is something wrong with the central
nervous systems, such as the brainstem and cerebellum," he said in a low voice.
Kathy was enlightened instantly. She had actually missed that symptom.
"Joseph, you are a genius." Kathy looked at him with admiration.
"You're stupid." Joseph smiled and carried her to the dining table.
"I'm not! I'm damn smart! Otherwise, how did I get into University F!"
"I thought that's because you had my help." Joseph raised his eyebrows.
Before the interview, Joseph had been tutoring her almost every day.
Kathy was embarrassed and said in an affectedly coy tone, "Well, you can take ten percent of the
credit!"
...
The next few days, Kathy was in school, and occasionally she would talk to Zofia, who had returned to
classes. Kathy decided to visit her after class on Friday.
However, there was an experiment that delayed her at night, and then she received a call from an
unknown number. It was about Alexia. The people in the bar said that Alexia was drunk, so she
immediately rushed over.
She walked to the bar and asked the waiter, "Someone called me just now..."
"Oh, are you looking for Alexia? A man has taken her away just now."
"What?"
"He claims to be her husband. He's quite handsome. I guess she and her husband quarreled."
Kathy thought of Johnson. After calling Johnson and confirming that Alexia was with him, she was
relieved.
It was already late at night. Kathy was wearing a white skirt. She didn't wear heavy makeup. Compared
to the flashy and enchanting women in the bar, she was more like a girl from the next door, innocent
and refreshing, and she soon attracted a lot of attention.
She did not stay for long. Just as she turned around, a tall figure suddenly fell in front of her.
"Sonny?" Kathy was shocked at the sight of the man who had been beaten, face swollen.
In her memory, Sonny had always been clean and elegant and handsome, but now, he was in a mess.
"Take me to the hospital," Sonny said in a weak voice, grabbing her foot.
"Okay. Wait here."
Kathy called a taxi. Fortunately, Sonny was still able to walk. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to
drag this man.
In the car, Kathy looked at him, "What happened?"
"Just got beaten up. I'm already used to it." Sonny said in a casual tone.
Compared to her memory, Sonny seemed to have changed a lot.
"Sonny, what's the story?"
Sonny closed his eyes and said in a low and painful tone, "I was expelled from school a week ago.
After leaving school, I rented an apartment and tried to find a job, but I got rejected everywhere. I also
got attacked every night."
Kathy was shocked when she heard this. "Have you made any enemy?"
Sonny sneered. "How could I possibly have made an enemy? I'm always the one being
bullied."
