At night, Kathy slept at Joseph's apartment, but Joseph did not sleep for a night. He stood on the
balcony, looking lonely.
After a while, he returned to his bed and hugged Kathy tightly in his arms.
The next day, when Kathy woke up, Joseph was not by her side as usual.
He always got up earlier than her to make breakfast.
After washing up, she walked out of the living room, but still did not see Joseph. Looking at the time,
she realized that it was almost ten o'clock.
She hadn't slept well for a few nights, but last night beside Joseph, she had a sleepless night.
There was some nice breakfast on the dining table. Joseph left a note saying he went to Boston
Hospital, and Kathy could come over in the afternoon.
Kathy sat down and enjoyed her breakfast.
The corner of her mouth turned up. This kind of life was what she liked.
At this moment, her phone rang. It was a WeChat message from Sonny.
Kathy rushed to the classroom after breakfast. She said apologetically, "Sorry, I forgot to tell you I didn't
come back last night."
Joseph was so angry last night that she forgot to reply to Sonny.
"It doesn't matter. Were you with Joseph?" Sonny asked seemingly inadvertently.
Kathy nodded and suddenly remembered what Joseph had said last night.
Sonny was interested in her?
That was impossible.
"Our assignment is due next week. It was delayed when I was in the hospital, so we might be a little
busy recently."
"I will try my best to cooperate." Kathy smiled and said, "How's your wound now?"
"Still need to avoid increasing wound tension. But Professor Joseph also said that there will be a
process of recovery, so I'm not too worried."
Kathy and Sonny chatted for a while. Then they continued to discuss their assignment till afternoon.
Kathy looked at the time and found it was a little late. She hurried to the hospital.
Sonny didn't have any classes in the afternoon and suggested sending Kathy off.
"It's too late for you to take the bus now. I'll go buy you some food and you can have lunch in my car.
When you finish, we will be nearly there."
Kathy looked at the time. It seemed that this was the only way.
It was exactly two o'clock when they arrived at the hospital. Joseph had just finished the rounds.
His expression darkened when he saw Sonny and Kathy come over.
Kathy noticed it...
"Thank you, Sonny."
"Alright, I'm going back. If we have time tonight, let's make an appointment again."
Hearing these, Joseph became even angrier.
He narrowed his eyes and looked at Kathy coldly.
Kathy was scared. 'Joseph's eyes were terrifying.' she thought.
Then she walked over and soothed, "Don't be jealous."
"You know that I'm jealous?" Joseph looked down at her indifferently.
"I was afraid that I would be late. Then Sonny gave me a ride."
Why didn't she know that Joseph was the jealous type before...
"I'm not angry." Joseph helplessly frowned. Looking at Kathy's somewhat frightened, his expression
softened.
"That's good." Kathy followed behind Joseph.
As soon as they entered the office, Joseph pulled her close and kissed her deeply, catching Kathy off
guard.
He always liked to do this in such a place. Kathy blushed but she couldn't refuse him.
"Alright, let's get to work..." Kathy pressed against Joseph.
She felt that if she did not stop Joseph, Joseph might try to make out with her right here right now.
This man looked like a dashing gracious gentleman, but he was a trouble-maker underneath.
"When is the due?" Joseph asked in a low voice.
Only then did Kathy realize that he was asking about the assignment that she had been working on
with Sonny.
"Next week."
"Alright." he said calmly. Kathy felt he was still upset and she got stumped.
Throughout the afternoon, Kathy had been busy assisting Joseph who was on call. Recently, the
number of patients was increasing, and accordingly, their workload had increased dramatically. No
matter how exhausted he was, Joseph was always gentle to the patients.
It was almost 7 when they saw off the last patient of today's appointment. Joseph was about to start the
evening rounds before getting off work.
Recently, Ella was better and could be discharged from the hospital, but she had been staying in the
ward.
Kathy was recording the cases beside Joseph but Ella acted like she was invisible. The woman acted
full of coquetry and said towards Joseph in a sweet voice,
"What if something happens to me at home? Anyway, you don't have many patients here. Why can't I
stay here? "
"I don't have that much time to visit you every day. After the surgery time is set, you can come back to
the hospital." Joseph said flatly.
"No, I can't go to work recently. I won't leave." Ella had already decided to stay here.
Joseph was annoyed. Ella noticed that and lowered her voice, "Doctor Joseph, I have nowhere to go. If
I were to be discharged from the hospital, I would have to stay with Reece. I don't want to be by his
side."
Ella said in a feeble voice.
Joseph narrowed his eyes with a straight face.
He turned around and left the ward. Kathy could not tell whether he was angry or not.
However, according to Ella's situation, she could have been discharged from the hospital long ago. And
Joseph had already let her stay at the hospital for a few more days.
Kathy walked behind Joseph, so when Ella stopped her, Joseph did not hear that.
"Miss Bridges, what can I do for you?" Kathy said coldly.
"Do you know the success rate of my operation?" Ella asked.
She did not dare to ask Joseph and her mother refused to tell her, so she chose to ask Kathy.
Although she didn't like this woman very much, if she didn't have much time, then she would be
satisfied if Kathy could take good care of Joseph.
Kathy frowned. Wasn't the doctor and her family supposed to have told her about this long ago?
"I'm not sure either." Kathy shook her head.
She usually assisted Joseph in his work, but she didn't take a closer look at Ella's case.
"I see." Ella replied dully.
Kathy quickly left. Actually, she guessed that Ella didn't have much time left.
However, Ella didn't deserve sympathy.
When Kathy was in a daze, Joseph had taken off his white coat and packed his things to leave.
Kathy came back to her senses. It was until now she had time to look at her phone.
Sonny made an appointment with her for tomorrow. Kathy chose to ask Joseph first.
"You won't be free tomorrow."
Kathy was speechless.
"You don't have appointments tomorrow." she said.
"I have an operation."
Kathy frowned. She must be here?
"You can stay with Sonny if you want." Joseph said coldly.
With that said, Kathy didn't dare to speak anymore.
However, it could be seen that Joseph had done it on purpose.
It was quite a dilemma.
"If you want me to stay with you, I will." Kathy said in a deep voice.
However, Joseph did not say anything else and left.
Kathy thought that Joseph had gone back first, but saw his car stopped at the door. Seeing Kathy come
out, he helped her open the door.
"Get in the car." said he peremptorily.
Kathy bit her lips and was somewhat reluctant to listen to him.
Just like that, they were stuck in a standoff at the entrance of the hospital.
