Chapter 310: Chapter 310

Kathy silently watched his massive back and her eyes started to become reddened.

He wouldn’t let anything happen to her...

However, he was no longer by her side. How could he still protect her?

They were two people who were separated forever. She didn’t want to rely on him anymore considering the circumstances.

“I will wait here until the day breaks.” Kathy stubbornly said while turning around to face away from him.

An intense anger caught on Joseph’s face, “There is going to be a thunderstorm later on. Do you realize how dangerous it will be if you continue to stay here?”

“Who do you think you are? Why do you think that your opinion matters to me?” Kathy was suddenly infuriated as well. She stared at him without blinking.

After hearing that, Joseph narrowed his eyes before suddenly dashing forward without warning and trapping Kathy’s fragile frame in his embrace.

He held the back of her head and started to kiss her furiously.

Kathy was rooted to the spot while her heart was in a mess. Joseph continued to hug her hard, and all she could smell was a familiar scent from long ago.

It was Joseph’s unique scent.

Her lips had long gotten used to his kissing, so they responded to his kiss without any problems.

Despite that, she wanted to reject him entirely.

She didn’t want this relationship to continue as they were now.

She finally came to her sense as she bit hard on his tongue.

Joseph let out muffled grimace and his face took on a hideous and terrifying expression.

She was so bold to the point that she would even bite him!

“Joseph, you’ve gone too far!”

“What if... I want to go this far?” He replied hastily and immediately pressed his lips onto hers again while ignoring the pain in his tongue.

Kathy was conscious about the wound in his mouth, and she couldn’t bring herself to bite him anymore...

This man really knew her well and could capture her weakness...

Her breath was completely taken away as Kathy couldn’t even stand properly at that moment. She could only lean against Joseph’s body.

“Kathy, always remember that I’m your man.” His cold voice sounded next to her ears.

Kathy smiled faintly and doled out a reply, “Joseph, are you trying to bully me?”

“Yes.” He didn’t shy away from admitting his intentions, and his mischievous hands were even starting to grope her body below her waist.

A strange numbing sensation permeated through her body, and Kathy could only grip hard on his arms.

“Joseph! Don’t fool around!” She was finally angry.

He flashed a lowly smile before bending over to signal her to ride on his back.

“Come on up. I’ll give you a piggy ride all the way there.”

Kathy was initially still in a quandary, but suddenly a strike of lighting dyed the sky white. It was a signal to announce the coming of a storm.

She immediately hugged Joseph while placing her had against his shoulders. At that moment, her heart was strangely calm, which was very unusual.

“My simcard has been taken away some time ago. How did you know that I would be here?” Kathy asked.

“I’ve checked Bertie’s location.”

Kathy finally understood everything.

At the mention of Bertie, she suddenly wondered that was he still in the hills?

When she had fallen down earlier on, the ground was so shaky that the original path was practically destroyed.

Nonetheless, she didn’t have any intention to care about him.

After reaching the stairs, Kathy began, “You can let me down now. I can still walk by myself.”

“Don’t be stubborn.” Joseph didn’t plan to put her down.

At that moment, an imperceptible noise began to become clear as something was approaching them from a distance away. The rescue workers had arrived.

This sudden thunderstorm had caused many parts of the hill to collapse and incited landslides all over the vicinity. A lot of travelers were trapped because of that, but they were now being rescued one after another.

Joseph placed Kathy on a stretcher but he didn’t let go of her hands for even one. He just silently stayed by her side.

Kathy couldn’t shake off his hand so she had no choice but to let him hold her hand.

Her field of vision was filled by Joseph’s slender figure. He was bearing a serious yet worried expression on his face.

He was obviously worried about her.

Kathy flashed a smile without any thoughts. She thought that this was all that mattered.

When they reached the foot of the hill, they saw a few ambulances being parked on standby. Suddenly, a figure flashed by, and Kathy somehow caught a sight of Bertie.

There was a bandage on his arm indicating that he had a minor injury. Other than that, there was nothing wrong with him.

On the other hand, Kathy’s condition was way worse.

“Kathy.” He looked at her worriedly.

Bertie only detected Joseph’s presence after saying that.

His face underwent a drastic change. Why was he here?

“Let me accompany you to the hospital.”

Joseph inadvertently interrupted him, “Mr. Marshall, you have some injury on you. It wouldn’t be convenient for you to tag along.”

After saying that, he swiftly entered an ambulance with Kathy.

Bertie didn’t hesitate as he followed them too. He sat next to Kathy.

The two men were surrounding her from both sides, which made her feel slightly numb.

However, she didn’t have any strength to shun them away.

When they arrived at the hospital, Kathy was immediately sent to a consultation room to deal with her wounds.

Joseph and Bertie were standing outside the room together.

“If I recall correctly, you should be now divorced with Kathy, Joseph.” Bertie’s cold voice sounded.

“So what? When something bad happened to Kathy, where were you?” Joseph’s sharp gaze penetrated Bertie.

He knew that the both of them had ascended the hill together, but Kathy was discovered alone.

Bertie pressed his lips into a line while recalling Kathy falling down the hill. If it were not for the fact that his pathway was broken up by a depression in the ground, he would have followed and chased after her.

It was just that...

A glint of regret flashed across his eyes as he replied in a low voice, “I have been looking for her too.”

Joseph continued to put on a cold façade. He never saw eye to eye with Bertie in the first place.

Shortly after, the door to the consultation room was pushed open from the inside. The doctor emerged and asked, “Who’s the family member here?”

“Me.” Joseph stepped forward without any hesitation.

“There are multiple wounds on the patient’s body but I’ve already treated them. She needs to spend the night in the hospital today.”

Joseph managed a response while entering the room.

Bertie stared at him moving around and his face gradually darkened.

Kathy was transferred to a ward and she didn’t have a mobile phone with her at that moment. She had no way of contacting anybody.

Seeing Joseph coming over, she asked, “Can you lend me your phone?”

She wanted to ask Alexia to come fetch her tomorrow.

“You have lost your phone?” Joseph couldn’t help but frown.

Kathy simply nodded.

Joseph first made a call to John to comb the hill thoroughly to recover Kathy’s phone before handing his phone to her.

“You’ll have to excuse me.” Kathy said indifferently.

She called Alexia and filled her in with her current situation.

“Kathy, you’re still in Country B? I thought that you have already returned... I’ll come to the hospital now.” Alexia replied nervously.

“Come tomorrow. It’s too late at night now.”

“I can’t wait any longer. I am really worried about you. Why did you go up that hill? You’re giving me a heart attack” Alexia began to nag.

After hanging up the phone, Kathy looked up and saw that Joseph was scrutinizing her.

She returned his phone to him.

“I’ll go back with you tomorrow.” He stated with his low voice.

“I need to sleep now, Joseph. Thank you for saving my life today.” Kathy didn’t know how to face him at the moment, so she didn’t provide a clear cut answer. She turned off the lights and feigned sleep.

Joseph was standing rooted to the spot by the bed, and there was a vague incomprehensible look in his eyes.

After some time, Kathy felt him sitting down on the edge of the bed.

The distance separating them was now very small... they were just a small distance apart.

Joseph was just right there beside her, so there was no way she could fall asleep peacefully.

When she opened her eyes to check, Kathy met his depthless eyes that were shining like obsidian.

“You should go back to rest.” She muttered imperceptibly.

“I didn’t book any hotel room.”

Kathy was speechless for a moment.

“Are you planning to sleep here for the night?”

“Yes.”

After saying that, Kathy’s stomach suddenly made a grunting sound. She was immediately embarrassed.

She recalled now that breakfast was her only meal throughout the whole day.
