She didn\u2019t know how many people came in behind her. The feeling of being watched made her feel terribly humiliated.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHelp me up.\u201d Joseph\u2019s deep voice came into her ears.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy regained her composure and stood up immediately. The doctor walked forward to help Joseph get up, checked his wound, and left after confirming that the wound had not reopened.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy\u2019s face was red with embarrassment throughout this time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHave you still not hired a care giver?\u201d Kathy asked in worry.<\/p>\n<p>Under these circumstances, it was almost impossible for Joseph to take care of himself.<\/p>\n<p>John was his assistant for work, it was not suitable for him to take care of him in his personal life too.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo.\u201d Joseph answered coldly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDidn\u2019t Grandpa ask you to come and do that for me?\u201d He asked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2026 I don\u2019t think it\u2019s a good idea.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat if I pay you salary?\u201d Joseph looked at her.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJoseph, do you really need me that much?\u201d Kathy looked up at him blankly.<\/p>\n<p>She couldn\u2019t understand him even more as time passed.<\/p>\n<p>However, she knew that she also wanted to stay close to him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYeah!\u201d Joseph admitted openly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI will take care of you until you are discharged from the hospital. But it\u2019s only because of Grandpa, you don\u2019t need to pay me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKathy, you should think carefully about my proposal!\u201d Joseph pinched her chin, his deep eyes twinkling.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy was stunned. Was he talking about\u2026 remarriage?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat proposal?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRemarriage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStop with your jokes.\u201d Kathy pushed him away.<\/p>\n<p>However, Joseph pulled her in his arms again, \u201cAt that time, I had no choice. Your safety is always more important, you know that, right?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kathy was looking at him with her eyes wide, her heart had stopped beating in a shock.<\/p>\n<p>Because of Joseph\u2019s attitude, she had always speculated that maybe he divorced her for her own safety.<\/p>\n<p>But she never allowed herself to believe it.<\/p>\n<p>However, now that she heard him say it himself, it felt completely different.<\/p>\n<p>But now, her situation was completely different too, from back then.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t need to get married to deal with my family anymore, Joseph.\u201d She spoke slowly, word by word.<\/p>\n<p>In the beginning, she had only agreed to a flash marriage with Joseph to reassure Angela.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKathy, what I need has never been a marriage, but you!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u2026<\/p>\n<p>At night, Kathy sat in the dormitory with Joseph\u2019s words lingering in her mind for a very long time.<\/p>\n<p>He needed her.<\/p>\n<p>A smile appeared subconsciously at the corners of her mouth. Zofia, who was sitting besides Kathy, giggled as she placed her palm on Kathy\u2019s forehead, \u201cYou don\u2019t have a fever, do you?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hearing that, Kathy immediately stopped smiling, \u201cNo, I\u2019m fine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI thought you had lost your mind.\u201d Zofia teased.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor a few days, I will have to go to the hospital every day.\u201d Kathy told her.<\/p>\n<p>After living with Zofia for so long, their relationship was improving every day.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, you have been going to the hospital almost every day any way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Joseph still hadn\u2019t recovered fully, his classes every Friday were suspended. Benedict was substituting in for the classes that Kathy had missed before.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow is Joseph? Is he seriously injured?\u201d Benedict asked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYeah, seems so. He will have to be hospitalized for maybe around a month.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd how are things between you two?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kathy froze after hearing him say that.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMe and him? We are\u2026 just\u2026 we are okay.\u201d Kathy didn\u2019t know how to explain.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph and Kathy were not friends nor a couple.<\/p>\n<p>Benedict smiled. Kathy didn\u2019t know how to hide her feelings; they were written clearly on her face.<\/p>\n<p>After her class in the afternoon, Kathy went to the hospital.<\/p>\n<p>First, she went to pack up dinner for Joseph, and then went to him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOtherwise, I won\u2019t even have time to eat in peace.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kathy\u2019s voice was very sweet, with a little hoarseness in it, and Joseph\u2019s eyes slowly lit up.<\/p>\n<p>His gaze that had been on the lunch box, slowly travelled to Kathy\u2019s face with a burning stare.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy could feel his eyes on her, she blushed and snapped at him, \u201cHurry up and eat!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not enough.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kathy looked up at him in confusion.<\/p>\n<p>The moment she raised her head, her chin was already grabbed with his thumb and forefinger as he lowered his head to kiss her deeply. The kiss was so hot, it made her unable to resist.<\/p>\n<p>He picked her up in his arms and pinned her on the bed.<\/p>\n<p>His strength was too much for a patient\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Joseph didn\u2019t even give her a chance to think or to react, keeping her distracted as he continued to kiss her passionately.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy\u2019s face turned a bright tomato red\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJoseph!\u201d Finally, Joseph reluctantly let her go. Kathy sat there panting in silent anger.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph\u2019s domineering aura and his scent didn\u2019t leave her for a long time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKathy, why are you seducing me?\u201d Joseph asked in an assertive tone.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy was stunned. When did she\u2026?<\/p>\n<p>She pushed him away with all her strength, \u201cIt\u2019s obviously you trying to seduce me!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She retreated away from him, to what she thought was a safe distance, but Joseph spoke, \u201cHold me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She looked at him suspiciously.<\/p>\n<p>However, seeing him trying to get out of bed, she ran over immediately.<\/p>\n<p>But Joseph only slyly trapped her in his arms again.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2026\u201d Kathy was really annoyed now. Did he even consider himself a patient?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t move, let me hug you.\u201d Joseph\u2019s deep voice was irresistible.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy frowned and suddenly pressed her hand on Joseph\u2019s leg. Even though she pressed a little hard, Joseph still only frowned slightly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStop it!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kathy\u2019s suspicion rose.<\/p>\n<p>She pushed him away, \u201cI will go over there to study, you continue your work.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1028","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1028","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1028"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
