“Mr. Joseph, what do you want?” Kathy suppressed her anger and asked patiently.
“Sit down,” Joseph ordered.
Kathy pressed her lips, standing motionlessly.
“If you want to know any latest news about Jaydon, you must stay here with me.”
Kathy turned to look at the man. After a long while, she sat back down.
Joseph was dealing with the documents. He had a lot of duties. Besides seeing the patients, he would
do other jobs at the same time. He even had to squeeze the time to break every day.
Time passed by. After talking business with Alberta, Kathy gradually felt sleepy.
She hadn’t had enough sleep in the past few days. The temperature in Joseph’s office was just right
and it was very quiet. Kathy felt that her eyelids became heavier and heavier...
After reading a report, Joseph looked up, only to find Kathy titled her head while leaning against the
sofa, facing him.
Right then, she didn’t look so aloof as usual. Her outlines were softened.
His tightened face was relaxed slightly as well. Putting down his report, he approached her step by
step. Then he stopped one meter away from her.
“Kathy...”
His mutter was still full of doting as it was before.
Kathy didn’t wake up until two hours later. She rubbed her eyes and suddenly widened them.
She wondered when she had fallen asleep.
And... she was sleeping on Joseph’s lap.
She screamed and sat up, turning to look at Joseph, who looked a bit surprised with a slight frown.
“You...” Kathy was about to question him. From the corner of her eyes, she saw the notebook in front of
him. She couldn’t utter any sound at all.
She met a group of doctors’ gaze.
It turned out that Joseph was in a video conference.
Immediately, she turned around and cast a glance at Joseph. Then she lay prone down and hid from
the camera.
“Let’s call it a day. Dismiss.”
After finishing his words, he immediately turned off the camera.
Kathy had been blushed already and didn’t dare to look up.
“Joseph, how come I was sleeping on your lap...” she asked in embarrassment.
The man leaned against the sofa lazily. Slightly looking down, he faintly curled up his think lips.
“You crawled to me yourself,” he said calmly.
Kathy was speechless and confused.
The sofa was quite huge. Originally, Kathy was sitting on the farthest side from Joseph and there was a
several-meter distance between them.
How could it be possible?
“Are you kidding me?” she snapped in anger.
“I’m quite busy. I don’t have time to kid you.”
“Do you have any news about Jaydon?” Kathy didn’t want to continue that topic with him.
She sat up and stretched her waist.
Joseph looked at her ruby earlobes, smiling more deeply. However, he quickly hid it.
“Yeah, he’s been rescued.”
“Really?”
Joseph nodded.
Kathy immediately pulled out the cell phone. She tried to connect with Jaydon online, but still, she
couldn’t get through.
She looked at Joseph expectantly. The latter said in a flat tone, “The telecommunication hasn’t
recovered in the North Pole yet.”
“I see. Will he come back shortly?”
“He hasn’t finished his research and development work yet.”
“It’s so dangerous over there. Is the work more important than human lives?” Kathy was so angry.
Jaydon was in danger once, and she didn’t hope him continue with the current research and
development.
“Ms. Kathy, it’s Jaydon’s own choice,” Joseph said indifferently.
Looking at the man in front, Kathy felt that she didn’t know him at all.
How could he be so cold-blooded? How could he be like this?
He wasn’t the Joseph she used to know indeed.
“Have you asked about his opinion? It’s too dangerous in the North Pole now. Even if you want to
research and develop something, you can’t ignore the human lives.”
“If he requests to come back, I’ll give him the permission.”
“I want to contact Jaydon.”
“Ms. Kathy, do you still think yourself my wife?” Joseph looked at her leisurely, and his tone was still
indifferent.
Upon hearing his question, Kathy was startled.
That was true. She was asking Joseph for help now, but she had been used to relying on him before.
Her attitude to him had been impacted.
“I’m sorry. I’m just worried about Jaydon too much.” Kathy looked away awkwardly.
“Do you like him?” Joseph suddenly asked.
Kathy looked down. She couldn’t admit that she like Jaydon, but she had been seeing him seriously.
Even if they couldn’t be lovers, they were friends.
No matter what, she couldn’t rest assured as long as something had happened to him.
However, upon hearing Joseph’s question, Kathy didn’t know how to answer for a moment.
“Is this question so difficult for you to answer? You’ve been together already, haven’t you? Does that
mean that he was not the man in your heart?” Joseph’s tone sounded leisurely and casual.
His deep gaze seemed to have seen through Kathy already.
“Of course, I like him.” without looking at Joseph, Kathy answered awkwardly.
“This project would last at least three months. He wouldn’t come back until the research and
development are accomplished.”
“What? Three months? That long!” Kathy was shocked.
“There will always be dangers over there. Can you change the project location?”
“Ms. Kathy, this is a decision that the senior executives of our hospital have made long ago. It was
confirmed after a six-month estimation. Just after listening to you, should I give up the whole project?”
Kathy looked at the man in front and she couldn’t find the words to retort for a moment.
“I didn’t ask you to obey my words. I said it for the sake of the scholars’ safety.”
“In my opinion, the North Pole had increased the entire protection. There wouldn’t be a big danger.”
“What if in case...”
“You know what, Kathy?” Joseph’s tone suddenly became tender. He gazed at her deeply and said, “I
truly don’t like to see you care about another man so much.”
Kathy was slightly taken aback. Meeting Joseph’s deep eyes, she said a bit awkwardly, “He’s my
boyfriend.”
“Joseph, I hope you are not purposely against him, are you?” Kathy suddenly asked.
After all, Jaydon had told her before that this project started so suddenly and he was surprised as well.
Then he set off to the North Pole shortly.
Joseph pressed his thin lips without answering her, his eyes sharp.
Kathy, however, misunderstood that he acquiesced. She was angrier. Standing up, she was driven by
the fury, and she lost her mind.
“You’ve gone too far, Joseph. How could you do it...”
“Ms. Kathy, do you think yourself so important in my heart?” Joseph’s question interrupted her.
Kathy’s face became pale. She immediately shook her head.
Of course, she hadn’t thought so.
However, she was still wondering the purpose that Joseph had done it.
Undoubtedly, Jaydon was one of the most excellent talents in the Boston Hospital. Joseph wouldn’t
waste such a talent.
However, Joseph had transferred Jaydon to the North Pole so suddenly...
“If you hope I could transfer him back immediately, you should know what to do. Since you are not
important in my heart, do you think I would help you out for no reason?” Joseph finished his words and
took a sip of coffee. He emanated a noble temperament that distanced himself from others.
Kathy frowned and looked at him. Suddenly, she recalled his aggressive eyes full of desire when they
were in his apartment last time.
