Neurology was the most popular major at Ocean University, but the seats were usually reserved for their own students. It was quite difficult to get admission for students from other universities. Kathy had been working for several years, and apparently, she had also been the cause of uproar at the university in the past.
Surprisingly, she was still the only one accepted by Benedict Watson.
However, Zofia immediately understood that it was probably due to Joseph.
Disdain flashed in her eyes.
Kathy didnât notice. She had only found out today that how many people were jealous of her being taken under Benedict.
After all, Professor Benedict Watson had been in Ocean University for decades. Being in the university for that long, he had only accepted around ten graduate students, and all of his students were prominent figures in the medical field.
Soon, Bertie came over with Zofiaâs luggage.
âBertie, why are you so slow?â Zofia got angry at him.
âThere was a traffic jam. I canât fly over in a plane, you know!â Bertie had always spoiled her with love.
Hearing the familiar voice, Kathy turned her head and looked at Bertie.
Bertie asked her with concern, âAre you okay now?â
Kathy turned her head back around and hummed faintly in response.
Zofia looked at both of them, then pulled her elder brother aside and asked, âDonât tell me the reason you offered to bring my luggage so kindly today was so you could see Kathy?â
Bertie frowned. He really didnât know about this.
During this time, he had been thinking about how to deal with his feelings.
Kathy was single now. It was, undoubtedly, the best opportunity to pursue her.
But she avoided him so much.
He didnât have any experience in chasing after girls, it was always the girls who chased after him.
âI didnât know.â He said lightly.
âI donât believe you! You just saw her? Hah! Do you think I donât know you?â
âDonât talk nonsense!â Bertie scowled.
âWhatever! Iâm hungry, letâs go for dinner.â Zofia held her brotherâs arm affectionately.
Seeing Bertie consciously glance at Kathy, she spoke in his place, âKathy, do you want to go for dinner with us? My brotherâs treating.â
Kathy shook her head and said, âI am not hungry yet, you guys go and eat.â
After dinner, Bertie had some roasted beef packed. He gave it to Zofia, âTake it for Kathy.â
âNo, Bertie. You have to give this to her yourself, otherwise it wonât work!â
âWhat wonât work?â Bertie was confused.
âDonât you want to pursue Kathy? Then take an initiative! Do something for her to move her heart.â
âShe doesnât want to see me right now.â He handed the food box to Zofia.
After coming back to the dormitory, Zofia noticed that Kathy had cleaned the room behind her, including Zofiaâs space.
âLooks like my brother was right in getting take away for you. Thank you for cleaning up.â She handed the box to Kathy.
âThank you. Iâll transfer the money to you and you can transfer it to your brother.â Kathy took out her cellphone.
However, Zofia waved her hand, âDonât! He wonât accept it.â
âBut...â
âLook, he is trying to win you over, so just enjoy it. Anyway, you are the first woman he is chasing after in thirty years of his life. Let him at least practice it a bit.â
Zofia wanted to see how good was her arrogant brother in chasing girls.
The corners of Kathyâs mouth twitched helplessly. Bertie was chasing a girl for the first time?
She hadnât expected that he would have any shortage of girlfriends that he could get with that exquisitely handsome face of his.
But then, thinking about it again, it must be the women who chased after him for that handsome face...
...
Later, when Kathy had finished eating, Zofia suddenly came over.
âLetâs go to the welcome party, we easily can get to know many classmates there.â
Kathy was writing her speech for the opening ceremony tomorrow, which she was going to deliver as a student representative.
Zofia looked at her, not convinced by her excuse, and her tone became much softer, âCome on, letâs go. Come on. Although, there might not be anyone as cool as my brother, but who knows, you might meet someone you like.â
âZofia, I am not looking for someone to fall in love with.â
Kathy shook her head.
She just wanted to focus on her studies for now.
âFine! You donât have to fall in love, but you should meet your classmates. Do you know them? No, right? Then, follow me!â
Kathy was dragged along by Zofia.
The meeting place was on the top floor of a Chinese restaurant in the campus. Most of the students who came were from Neurology or cardiothoracic surgery.
Kathy and Zofia were both quite popular students on campus now. As soon as they entered, the crowd got noisier. Kathy was pulled along by Zofia to sit in the center, it was a little cramped. She never liked such lively and crowded events.
However, Zofiaâs extroverted nature made her get acquainted with the people around her very quickly.
Next to Kathy, sat a male classmate with glasses and fair skin. He took the initiative to introduce himself, âHi! Iâm Cohen Sutton, also a Neurology major.â
âHi! I am Kathy.â Kathy smiled at him faintly.
Cohen lowered his gaze and held his mug nervously.
Seeing that Kathyâs glass was empty, he helped her fill it up.
âI heard that you are the only student accepted by Professor Watson. How did you manage to do that?â He asked curiously, âI contacted him a quite a while ago, and he said he wonât be accepting any students this year.â
âMaybe he changed his mind later.â
âAlso, your grades are really good. It is no wonder you were accepted by Professor Watson.â
âWould you like to eat this? All of them are going to karaoke, are you sure you donât want to go?â Cohen looked at her.
At first glance, Kathy always looked well-behaved and clever, someone who doesnât like to play around. She spoke very little, unless she was with a person that she was very familiar with.
âI am full. You go, sing with them. I will leave in a bit to go back and study.â
âOh, then... may I drop you back? I have some questions that I wanted to ask with regards to work.â
âNo, thank you, I can go by myself easily. Just ask whatever you want to. Although, I donât know if I can help or not.â Kathy said politely.
Cohen suddenly approached her, âThen letâs go to the campus sports ground, itâs too noisy here...â
It was already very late at night, and the campus ground was quite deserted by this time. Cohenâs gaze on Kathy became more and more dark.
âLetâs go over there, itâs too noisy here.â
Gradually moving away from the noise, Kathy found herself getting uncomfortable with the quiet around her. When she turned her head, Cohenâs eyes already had a very terrifying look in them.
Realizing something, she turned around to leave immediately.
However, before she could leave, Cohen dragged her into the store room not far away and closed the door with a bang.
His eyes were filled with malice.
âWhat are you trying to do?â Kathy looked around for a way to escape, but her only way out of the small window-less room was the door.
Cohen sneered as he approached her step by step, and then grabbed her hair fiercely.

âI am not trying to do anything. I just donât understand how a student with a history of plagiarism was accepted by Professor Watson. Do you know how hard I worked to get him to choose me? But he chose you...â
The resentment in his eyes was coupled with anger; he pulled her hair even harder.
Kathyâs face turned pale with pain and terror. She held on to Cohen with one hand and picked up a dumbbell and smashed it on his head with the other hand.
Cohen couldnât dodge in time. Blood gushed out of his forehead, but it only spurred his anger further.
âCohen, my over all grades are better than anyone else in my major. It is completely reasonable for Professor Watson to choose me!â Kathy said heavily.
She looked up at him, and used all her power to push him away.
