At night, Kathy didnât expect that Joseph allowed Zofia to come over. Zofia even brought several textbooks for her. Zofia was surprised to receive Josephâs call an hour ago and immediately came over.
âWhat did you say? Joseph took your phone... no wonder, I kept sending you messages on Wechat and you didnât reply.â Zofia suddenly realized.
âBut Joseph must have his reasons for doing this. He isnât that deviant.â This was what Zofia thought about last night.
Deviant. When she heard of this word, Kathy agreed.
âHe is,â Kathy said coldly.
âThe purpose of him calling me just now must be for me to come over to keep you company he even reminded me to bring you some books to read.â
Even if Zofia said that, Kathy still wasnât able to understand Joseph.
âI just want to be discharged from the hospital as soon as possible,â Kathy said.
âI think you will need some more time to recuperate. You just had an operation and need to have daily checkups.â Zofia browsed Kathyâs medical records.
âI want to transfer to another hospital. This is Josephâs place. I donât want to be under his control.â
Zofia looked at Kathy with concern. Although she canât understand what Joseph has done, but this was the best hospital in City N. Kathy can have the best treatment over there. Furthermore, Zofia was more relieved because Joseph was a doctor and he can take care of Kathy.
âDo you really feel that way?â Zofia frowned.
âYes, but I donât have a cell phone and canât contact my mother.â Jennifer was the only one that could get her out of there.
âI can contact her for you but according to my brother, Joseph must have his reasons for doing this. He must be protecting you.â
âHe is imprisoning me.â Kathy was sullen. She was very upset and canât listen to any reasoning.
From how Joseph forced her to transfer hospital to taking away her cell phone, she didnât know how to convince herself to believe him.
âDonât be so pessimistic, itâs not good for your recovery. Shucks, I donât know what I should do...â Zofia was out of her wits and looked desperate.
Kathy laughed when she saw Zofiaâs worried looks, âZofia, thanks for visiting me. Actually, Iâm just venting. I also know how powerful Joseph is and if he doesnât allow me to be discharged, there is no way I can leave. I can only wait.â
âIâll ask my brother to think of something.â
A moment later, Kathy needed to do another medical checkup and it was getting late and Zofia had to go home. On her way out, Zofia met Joseph and was blocking his way. Joseph had a strong presence and Zofia felt very nervous to be face to face with him.
âMs. Marshall, please keep Kathyâs location a secret.â Joseph was the first to speak.
âWhy should I listen to you?â Zofia retorted.
âIf you donât listen to me, you will have to remain here and cannot leave,â Joseph said calmly. He did not have the patience to deal with others.
âYou should know that she will hate you if you continue like this.â She was very concerned about Kathyâs pain and struggles.
âIâd rather she hates me.â
Zofia looked at Joseph in surprise and didnât say a word. She could see Kathyâs feelings for Joseph but she totally canât figure out Joseph. Bertie was waiting for her outside the hospital. Zofia wanted to say something but stopped herself.
âWhat did you want to say?â Bertie could sense his sisterâs thoughts.
âCan we get Kathy out?â Zofia asked. Kathy was very depressed and she was worried that it would affect her recovery. Furthermore, she could see that Kathy was suffering and wanted very much to leave the hospital.
âHow is she?â Bertie asked worriedly. He had already forced himself not to be concerned over her matters but he still couldnât resist.
âJoseph has kept her captive and even kept her cell phone, not allowing her to contact anyone.â
âShe still hasnât recovered and has to remain in the hospital.â Bertie frowned.
âBut Kathy is in a bad state and can recuperate anywhere. Joseph is forcing her to stay here.â Zofia became agitated. Had it been her, she would lose her mind after being kept in the patientâs room without a phone for an hour. Furthermore, Kathy had already been in that situation for two days.
When Bertie heard this, his expression darkened. It would be very difficult to get Kathy out of a hospital with such high security.
âWeâll think of something to get her out if Joseph still doesnât release her when she had fully recovered.â
This was also in consideration of Kathyâs health. Zofia always trusted her brother and could only accept this situation.
Three days later.
This morning was the court hearing for Herbertâs libel case. The evidence was irrefutable and Herbert was sentenced to one year and was to be imprisoned immediately.
Billy and Julian were also at the courts.
âJosephâs actions are very fast. Iâm afraid that Herbertâs case will continue to be investigated.â Billy narrowed his eyes.
âNow the most important thing is to find where Kathy is,â Julian said sinisterly.
âI already found out but we canât touch her.â
âDidnât you hesitate to kill her when you sent her to the hospital for treatment? I donât believe that you are willing to do anything to her.â Julian said coldly.
âIf really something happened, what will we use to threaten Joseph? Wait for my news. Iâll get her out within a week.â Billy said.
âI heard that recently the Food and Drug Administration is onto you. Your new drug is well received and has taken over a large portion of Josephâs Groupâs market share.â
âThatâs all thanks to Mr. Josephâs help.â Billy scoffed.
...
City N Hospital.
Kathy used her time and attention to improve her studies. Her mood was slowly improved over time. But more importantly, she did not see Joseph anymore and only had Jade by her side to take care of her.
She knew that Jade was Josephâs staff and didnât talk too much with her.
These few days Zofia had full days of classes and could only visit her on Friday.
âWhen can you be discharged? Iâm the only person in the hostel room. Iâll be terrified if a thunderstorm happens at night.â Zofia frowned.
Kathy laughed, âI think I should be able to be discharged next week. The results of this morningâs checkup were very favorable but I still require some monitoring.â
âThatâs good. Give me your assignments. Iâll hand them to Professor Watson.â

Although Kathy had been hospitalized, she studied every day and kept in contact with Professor Watson.
âYou are really diligent. Without you at the dormitory, I have become lazy.â
âThen go to the library. Arenât you dating with Sonny?â
âI donât like to date him?â Zofia blushed when this name was mentioned.
âBoth of you can go to the library together to study. Let him urge you to learn!â
âNo no, Kathy, there is nothing between us.â
âI didnât say that anything is going on between you two.â Kathy was amused.
Zofia pouted and both of them began to joke happily.
Joseph stood outside and looked at Kathyâs smile. She had not laughed like that for a long time since she had been with him.
He turned and left the hospital.
