Three years later.
In the People's Hospital in Country F.
Just as Kathy came out of the operating room, Vivian, her assistant, walked towards her with a bouquet
of flowers in her hand. "Doctor Kathy, it's from your patient again. He is satisfied with the interventional
treatment half a month ago, and he wants you to take it as a token of gratitude."
Kathy took off her mask and the fatigue could be seen clearly on her face.
She had just finished an operation that had lasted about ten hours, and now she was a little dizzy.
"Please convey my gratitude to him. There's no need to be so polite." Kathy smiled.
"Your office has been filled with banners and gifts from your patients. Mr Richard also attaches great
importance to you. But, you haven't had a break for a long time, have you? And you've been on duty at
the hospital during the National Day holiday. You're really a model worker." Vivian said with concern.
She really hoped that Kathy could give herself some time off instead of working so hard. She simply
kept stressing her body all year round.
"It's good. Anyway, I don't have anything else to do." Kathy sat down and took a sip of water calmly.
"You should spend more time with Mr Bridges when you have a break. He's so handsome and rich.
There must be many women coveting him." Vivian went on nagging.
Kathy's expression didn't change. "He could do whatever he wants. I will not interfere."
"By the way, has my vacation request for next week been approved?" Kathy asked.
Jennifer's wedding would be held after three days. This was her first vacation request since she worked
in this hospital.
"Yes, and I can finally have a short vocation." Vivian stretched her body.
"It's been hard on you to work with me." Kathy sighed.
"Not at all. Anyway, I'm single now. It's good to keep myself busy, so that my parents won't push me too
hard to get married."
After chatting with Vivian for a while, Kathy received a call from Reece. He had already arrived at the
gate.
She took her bag and left. After getting in the car, she closed her eyes tiredly.
"Don't perform so many surgeries. There are enough doctors in your department." Reece was
somewhat dissatisfied.
"Well, it's okay for me." Kathy murmured in a whisper.
Reece helplessly frowned and instructed the driver to start the car.
After they returned to the Bridges', the dinner had been prepared. Jennifer and Karl hadn't returned
from vocation yet. They probably wouldn't be back until the day before their wedding.
"Are you feeling sick?" Kathy didn't look good, and Reece walked over, bending down.
"I don't know. I'm dizzy." Kathy didn't have dinner and went straight to her room to have a sleep.
It might be that she had stayed up all night, she thought.
Reece was worried about her. He followed her in the room. When he measured her temperature by
putting his palm on her forehead, his face darkened.
"You got a fever."
"It's okay. I'll be better after taking a fever reducer," Kathy muttered.
Actually, she hadn't been in good health in the past few years, and she pushed herself too hard on
working. By doing so, she was simply killing herself!
However, Kathy was so stubborn that no one could manage to persuade her.
"I'll take you to the hospital." Reece insisted.
Kathy rolled over and rejected his plan. "No, it's not a big deal."
"Kathy!"
"Reece, get me a fever reducer. I just need a sleep." Kathy hugged herself tightly.
"If your temperature isn't reduced tomorrow, you must go to the hospital, okay?" Reece's tone became
serious.
"Well, let's talk about it tomorrow."
Outside the room, Reece frowned as he looked at the list of the wedding guests handed over by his
assistant.
He fixed his eyes on the name "Joseph" for a long time.
The next day, Kathy's fever was reduced. Reece asked a leave for her, and Kathy decided to go back
to work until her vocation was over.
After getting up, she didn't expect that Reece hadn't gone to work yet. He was now the CEO of the
Bridges Group, so he got tons of things to do.
"Come and have some porridge." At the sight of Kathy, Reece took out a bowl of vegetable porridge
from the kitchen.
"You cooked it?"
"Yes, the servants have been on leave."
"Thank you." Kathy's tone carried a hint of alienation.
Reece was used to it.
"Your gown will be delivered soon. Try it on. If it's too small or large on you, there's still time to fix it."
"Okay."
Shortly after breakfast, Kathy stayed in the fitting room for a long time. Tomorrow was Jennifer's
wedding day. She was Jennifer's daughter, and her gown was of the same style of Jennifer's. She
dressed up in organza, which was simple, but she looked pure and clean in it.
She put on the organza, but she suddenly thought of the grand wedding of Joseph and Ella three years
ago. On that day, Ella held Joseph's arm. She looked so beautiful.
Kathy smiled bitterly. She wanted to forget this scene, but it kept lingering in her dreams, tears
streaming down her cheeks night by night.
"Is it suitable on you?" Reece's voice suddenly brought Kathy back to her senses.
She nodded calmly. "Very suitable."
"Okay. Mom and Dad will be back tonight," Reece said.
Kathy remained expressionless. After Reece took her to Country F three years ago, Jennifer came
soon. To her surprise, Jennifer was Karl's first love. In order to marry Jennifer, Karl had been working
hard on divorcing Maria for three years. It was only recently that Karl succeeded. And then he started
to prepare a wedding ceremony with Jennifer.
All of a sudden, she felt that she had a father.
It was just that Karl seemed to have many women. Kathy had no feelings for him, but Jennifer liked
him, so she didn't show any objections.
Afterwards, they settled down in the Bridges'.
Three days later, Karl and Jennifer's wedding ceremony was held at the Rose Hotel in Country F. They
didn't invite many guests. There were almost a hundred people, most of whom were their friends and
relatives, while few business partners had come.
Kathy looked at Jennifer, who was wearing makeup in the mirror. Jennifer was almost 50, but looked
like a well-preserved 40, and she appeared to be elegant and graceful.
"Kathy, what do you think of my makeup?"
"It's perfect." Kathy studied it carefully for a while, and she couldn't find any flaws.
"I'm a little nervous. When I married into the Hilton family, I didn't have a wedding," said Jennifer in a
whisper.
"Your dream finally came true." Kathy bent down with a smile on her face.
Jennifer lovingly rubbed Kathy's long hair. "Kathy, I'm really happy that you can accept my choice."
Kathy's expression didn't change. To be honest, she did not have much contact with Karl, and she just
knew about him from the media. She really didn't know what kind of man he was.
However, after Karl and Jennifer had dated, there hadn't been any scandals about him in the past three
years. Since Karl could do this for Jennifer, Kathy naturally didn't feel dissatisfied with him.
Her only hope was that Jennifer would not regret it some day.
Not long after, Reece arrived. He was wearing a custom-made handmade suit, looking gentle and
handsome.
"Mom, everything is ready."
Reece had already called Jennifer Mom for a long time, but Kathy was still not used to it.
She just took Reece as her brother and had no other feelings for him.
However, Reece had never thought so. His gaze at Kathy was always blazing, deep, and filled with
affection.
