Kathy burst out laughing, some sweet sensations spreading through her heart.
âIâve nothing to do over there, so I wonât bother you. Take a good rest.â
After replying to the message, Kathy started todayâs study plan.
But soon after, Joseph called her directly.
âI had a bad fall yesterday. Now Iâve difficulty moving, but no one is taking care of me.â His tone of voice was less serious than usual, and sounded like a spoiled child instead.
âWhy did you fall?â
âYou flung yourself upon me yesterday, didnât you? My wound split open because of you.â
Kathy was rendered speechless.
The truth was that Joseph deliberately held her in his arms.
âThen go to the doctor.â
âI did it. The doctor said I need someone to be with me.â
âIâm not available.â
âJohnâs already waiting for you downstairs.â
Kathy was again rendered speechless.
She stepped onto the balcony and sure enough, there was a high-profile car parked in front of her dorm.
It was true...
She also wanted to see him...
âWait a moment. Have you eaten yet?â Kathy asked.
âNot yet.â
âThen Iâll buy you food.â
After hanging up the phone, Kathy went to the cafeteria to buy lunch before getting into the car.
At the hospital.
Veronica came to visit Joseph in the morning. When she heard his conversation with Kathy on the phone, she got goosebumps.
âJoseph, youâre so annoying.â Veronica put on a disgruntled look on her face.
She never had a good attitude towards Kathy.
Even though she had now changed her impression of Kathy, it was because she was forced to do so by her brother.
âIf you find me annoying, then donât come here,â Joseph said in an indifferent voice.
âYou donât even think of me as your sister now,â Veronica was jealous.
âIf I donât think youâre my sister, youâll be with Julian right now.â
Veronica remained silent, unable to refute his remarks.
Julian had been trying to control her all these years, and it was Joseph who always protected her.
âYou and Kathy have divorced.â Veronica reminded him of this fact again.
âSo what?â
âYou two shouldnât keep in touch anymore.â
âI canât help it.â A frown marred Josephâs forehead, and a deep emotion appeared in his eyes.
Veronica actually felt that Josephâs emotion was vulnerable at the moment.
She understood his feelings, so she didnât want him to go on like this.
âJoseph, do you really like her?â Veronica asked.
At exactly that moment, Kathy was standing outside the door. She furrowed her forehead slightly as she heard Veronicaâs words.
Was this âsheâ... referring to her?
Her grip on the door handle tightened gradually.
Unexpectedly, she was looking forward to Josephâs answer.
However, Joseph didnât give an answer until the end.
Gradually, the eager anticipation in Kathyâs heart dissipated and eventually, she recovered her peace of mind.
She pushed the door open.
Veronica glanced at Kathy and said flatly, âIâve to go home to study, please take care of my brother.â
Kathy frowned. After Veronica left, only she and Joseph were left in the ward.
âHereâs your dinner.â Kathyâs face remained devoid of any emotion.
Joseph frowned and responded to her with an hmm, but didnât move.
Kathy turned a blind eye to him and sat down on the couch regardless of his response.
âCome here,â Joseph said.
Kathy frowned, still looking down at the book.
However, a loud bang was heard all of a sudden. Joseph got out of the bed, his leg hit the small table and the lunch box fell to the floor.
Kathy was speechless.
She immediately walked over, knitting her eyebrows.
âCanât you behave yourself?!â Kathy flew into a rage, crouching down to clean up the mess.
But a hand clasped her wrist domineeringly. Joseph sat on the edge of the bed, his eyes deep and filled with intense emotions she couldnât see through.
She was pulled into his bosom.
âWhat makes you feel bad?â he asked.
When Kathy came in just now, her face was sullen.
âIâm not in a bad mood.â Kathy didnât look at him.
She didnât want to change her mood because of Joseph, but in fact, she couldnât.
âIâll buy you another lunch.â Kathy disentangled herself from his grip.
But Joseph didnât let go of her.
She looked up and made eye contact with him.
âJoseph.â
âIâm not hungry,â he said.
âIâm going back then.â
âSit right here.â Joseph sat on the bed, while Kathy was forced to take the seat next to him.
It was really... awkward.
They were in the hospital and the nurses would come in anytime...
âI donât want to disturb your rest.â
Upon hearing her words, Josephâs handsome face clouded over, âAre you so reluctant to stay?â
His tone was deep and cold.
The rhythm of Kathyâs heartbeat was disrupted, of course she wanted to stay.
She wanted to see him; wanted to stay by his side.
âIf you want to stay, then be a good girl and stay by my side.â Joseph saw through her mind.
Kathy didnât move any more, reading a book quietly. The facilities equipped in the ward were exactly like a star hotel, which was so comfortable that it made her drowsy.
Soon after, Kathyâs eyelids closed...
Joseph turned his attention to Kathy, who was resting her head in his arms. Her profile was exquisite and her long eyelashes were perfectly curled, which made her look charming.
His fingertips caressed her face and lingered on it for a long time.
The intense sexual desire in his eyes for her was all out.
His handsome face came cross to hers, then he seized her cherry-red lips.
His tongue went deeper and deeper without scruples.
Kathy seemed to be tasting her favorite candy, chewing and opening her mouth...
She was completely taken advantage of by someone...
...
It wasnât until the evening that Kathy woke up. She rubbed her eyes and immediately sat up ruefully.
âShit!â How did she fall asleep!
And she even fell asleep next to Joseph!
It was embarrassed!
Joseph looked at her leisurely, smiling with the eyes.
âYouâre awake?â
âYes...â
âLetâs eat together.â
Just now, he had asked John to buy Kathyâs favorite food.
âIâm going back to school.â Kathy picked up her handbag.
âFinish your food first.â Josephâs tone was domineering.
âIâm hungry too,â Joseph said.
Kathy looked at him and the moment she faced Joseph, her heart couldnât help but always melt...
She helped Joseph sit down on the couch while John came in to set dinner on the table. When he saw Joseph, he was about to speak, but hesitated.
âGo ahead,â Joseph frowned and said coldly.
John gave Kathy a glance.
She immediately got the message, âYou guys continue. Iâll get going.â
With these words, she was about to stand up, but Joseph clasped her wrist, âSit down.â
John forced himself to report, âBoss, we have received many complaints recently about our new product, BL Drug. Many patients have experienced allergic reactions, and their conditions even worsened after taking it. Now, the FDA has got involved in the investigation.â
Josephâs face fell when he heard Johnâs report.
âActively cooperate with the FDAâs investigation and immediately retrieve the patientsâ database to find out if there are any discrepancies.â
âGot it. This news has gotten out to a lot of media outlets and the PR department is already working on it urgently.â
âAlright, we canât let this news get about.â
The conversation between Joseph and John made Kathyâs blood creep. This new drug had just been launched on the market and got a good response initially, but if anything went wrong with it, it would completely ruin the reputation.
Although Josephâs Group was a big corporation, since they had resold a lot of best-selling medicine previously, so they now had only a few drugs that could be launched on the market, and BL Drug was one of their most best-selling drugs.
If something went wrong, it would be a blow to Josephâs group.
But she had participated in the drug development project carried out by Josephâs group, and every procedure was very rigorous. They had developed so many drugs over the years, and the accident rate was very low.
Unless Josephâs group was framed maliciously.
And it was not impossible, after all, Josephâs group had been very influential and high profile recently.
