"I'm not." Kathy involuntarily retorted as she glanced at Joseph in the corner of her eyes.
However, she didn't see any change of his expression, as he was always calm without any ups and
downs.
Yes, he wouldn't mind it.
"Not now, but soon." Jaydon put on a meaningful smile, his gaze falling on Kathy.
Joseph also stared at Kathy. Today, she wore a thick sweater with a long knitted skirt, a pair of snow
boots, and her long hair was tied casually. Even though her dressing up today seemed contradictory,
but it gave off her unique fresh temperament.
He looked away and said indifferently, "Mr Young is the newly appointed Deputy Director of Brain
Department of Boston Hospital Country F Branch. He is also the new Vice President of Medicine
International Institute."
"Perhaps, you will see more of each other at work." Joseph said meaningfully.
"Yes, the branch is close to People's Hospital."
"Ok." Kathy replied softly, as if she was just beginning to get to know Jaydon.
Not long after graduation, he had been able to be recognized by Joseph, and had been the deputy
director of the hospital. From this, she knew that Jaydon must be very excellent, as Joseph was quite
strict with work.
"Dr Young, it's almost time." The assistant reminded Jaydon. He whispered to Kathy, "I'll see you at
noon."
Kathy involuntarily took a step back. In the corner of her eyes, she found that Joseph stood not far
away was talking to the people beside him. He tilted his head slightly, without a smile on his lips.
She wasn't sure ... whether he had seen this or not.
At noon, he didn't expect Jaydon would come to her.
He took his jacket in his hands, with rolled up sleeves and greeted Kathy with a smile, "Here!"
There were two bicycles at the door. He politely invited, "I only have two hours."
Kathy didn't know how to refuse him, so she asked, "Where are we going?"
"There's a beautiful lake out of this forest." Jaydon habitually scratched his hair. "It's like Walden Lake."
The weather was good. Even though it was winter, the sun warmed every inch of his skin.
"Why are you here?" Jaydon rode side by side with her and casually asked.
According to Kathy's schedule, she should be in the North Pole now, rather than in Netherlands.
"Something happened at home, so I have to rush back. But now I encountered the volcanic eruption.
And Dr Joseph is here. I thought that he might have a way to send me back home."
"What happened at home?" Jaydon asked worriedly.
"My mother is hospitalized." Actually, Kathy didn't want to tell Jaydon more about her family matters,
but her mother had a good relationship with Mrs. Young, so she confessed it.
The two of them chatted through the ride. Neither of them felt tired.
They expected that two hours would be enough. They were almost there and could vaguely see the
sparkling lake water not far away. However, with a creak, Kathy's bicycle couldn't move at all...
Kathy was a little embarrassed, and she saw Jaydon squatting down in no time and trying to fix it.
"Aren't Germans famous for their sophisticated machinery?" He roared.
Kathy couldn't help but smile, "Perhaps, it is made in our country."
After dealing with it for quite a while, Jaydon finally gave up in frustration. He accepted the fact and
said, "Forget it. Let's go back first. Otherwise, I'll be late for the meeting in the afternoon."
Fortunately, Jaydon's bike was able to carry people ... even though she had to sit in front...
Kathy was very thin, so there was enough spare space between them, even though Jaydon held the
handlebar with both hands.
"You can switch to a better position." Looking at Kathy's stiff sitting posture, Jaydon smiled and said,
"Aren't you feeling uncomfortable?"
Kathy agreed but kept her awkward position in front of him.
Jaydon paced up as they had seen their place of residence, "Don't move. We'll be there soon."
They were descending a high slope. He was as fast as the wild wind blowing. Kathy could only raise
her feet and scream out in fright.
Jaydon on the bicycle laughed heartily, feeling proud that he had made it in his prank.
The bicycle stopped, and Kathy jumped off with in embarrassment, not knowing whether to laugh or
cry.
The door to the campus opened. The old butler looked at Kathy with a rare sense of reproach, and then
said to Jaydon, "Doctor Jaydon, your afternoon meeting is about to begin."
Jaydon nodded, looking at his watch, and immediately got on his bicycle and left.
"Ms Kathy, please let me know where you're going, when you are out next time." The butler regained
his serious expression, "Otherwise..."
He seemed to be a little hesitant, then looked at the dirty hem of Kathy's skirt, "You should go and get
changed first."
Kathy nodded.
She turned around and was about to go upstairs when she saw Joseph standing quietly at the corner of
the spiral stair.
His tall silhouette dragged down to the bottom step, and his handsome face was expressionless.
Kathy's heart skipped a beat, as she clearly knew that Joseph was unhappy now.
He put on a tense face, with cold black eyes, hiding his emotions deeply.
What was he mad at?
She didn't feel that she had done anything to provoke him.
Kathy did not look at him anymore. Instead, Joseph walked down step by step.
She wanted to retreat, trying to rush out the door. But she couldn't move, as if her footsteps seemed to
be frozen. So she could only stand there dumbfounded until he approached.
He grabbed her wrist with iron hoop like strength, and pulled her to walk towards the second floor.
Out of instinct, Kathy's other hand grabbed the handrail of the stairs.
"Let it go." His tone was very gentle.
Kathy let loose her fingers slowly one after another. Then, she was numbly dragged to the second floor.
The door to the bedroom was slammed. He pushed her hard against the wall. The knocking on her
back was so hard that her tears were about to fall out.
Joseph narrowed his eyes, loosened his tie and showed a smile on his lips, "Did you have a good time
just now?"
Kathy shook her head involuntarily. Recalling the scene with Jaydon just now, she couldn't deny in her
heart that she was happy.
It seemed that Jaydon could bring her surprises and joy, whenever they were together.
Raising her head, she suddenly replied, "Yes, I enjoyed myself."
Sure enough, Joseph's expression turned even colder. He easily trapped her in his embrace. He
frowned as he looked at her dirty dress. He pointed at her and said, "I don't like dirty women."
He grabbed the spot where the long skirt was torn open, and with a piercing sound, the cloth was
immediately torn to pieces, revealing a pair of white and slender legs.
A cold aura came from the surroundings. Her legs trembled and she almost lost her
balance.
