Chapter 368
\nMy Sweetheart novel Chapter 368<\/p>\n
Kathy froze slightly as all traces of her anger were now seemingly gone like the wind.<\/p>\n
She finished her meal very quickly, and soon she was about to go back to her classroom, but at that moment she was halted by Joseph.<\/p>\n
\u201cHelp me to carry some of the exercise books here.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kathy felt speechless when she heard that.<\/p>\n
She had feeling that she had transformed into Joseph\u2019s assistant at that moment.<\/p>\n
Nevertheless, he was still the professor, and she had no choice but to comply to him\u2026<\/p>\n
When Joseph saw Kathy\u2019s unwillingness which was evident on her face, Joseph stopped short in his tracks.<\/p>\n
Kathy who was oblivious about this almost bumped into him.<\/p>\n
Joseph cupped her forehead gently as Kathy fell into his embrace. She felt her face started to turn red as she leaned on his chest.<\/p>\n
As the realization that they were in school struck her, she immediately pushed him away.<\/p>\n
Despite that, Joseph looked like he had no intentions to let go of his hands.<\/p>\n
Some nearby students were beginning to notice them\u2026<\/p>\n
\u201cJoseph.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you hurt?\u201d He asked in a low voice.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not hurt, but let me go!\u201d<\/p>\n
Joseph chuckled when he heard that. He gazed at her, \u201cEverybody has seen us, you know.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kathy couldn\u2019t produce any response to that.<\/p>\n
She pushed Joseph away hard and scurried forward.<\/p>\n
Joseph was able to catch up with her in no time since he had long and slender legs. A look of infatuation slowly entered his gaze.<\/p>\n
When they arrived at the classroom, Kathy hurriedly put down the exercise books and almost broke into a run as she returned to her seat.<\/p>\n
Kathy didn\u2019t dare to distract herself in class, but ever so accidentally, her eyes would be locked with his.<\/p>\n
After class, Joseph was seen huddled up by a great number of students, and Zofia was already there too since the beginning. However, she couldn\u2019t find the chance to talk to Joseph.<\/p>\n
\u201cDo those students really have so many questions?\u201d She muttered while taking a seat beside Kathy to wait for her turn.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter all, Joseph has been absent from school for a month.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re really fortunate to have Joseph teach you guys. I\u2019m really jealous.\u201d Zofia said teasingly.<\/p>\n
At that moment, Joseph was about to leave the classroom, and Zofia immediately broke into a jog to stop him.<\/p>\n
\u201cJoseph, how are you going to deal with Veronica\u2019s matter?\u201d Zofia asked worriedly.<\/p>\n
When he heard that, Joseph\u2019s face darkened slightly.<\/p>\n
\u201cAbout this matter, we can only put everything on hold. Since Billy is not out of the hospital yet, the case cannot proceed.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHow long are you going to put this on hold? Veronica is on the verge of breaking down, you know.\u201d Zofia knew very well about Veronica\u2019s current state.<\/p>\n
\u201cOne month.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cJoseph, are you confident in resolving this matter?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI won\u2019t let anything happen to Veronica.\u201d<\/p>\n
After getting his token of affirmation, Zofia could finally relax a little.<\/p>\n
In the afternoon, Kathy and Benedict visited the hospital for a surgical demonstratio. Kathy was going to act as his assistant there.<\/p>\n
They arrived at the hospital and first had to attend a meeting. To her surprise, Joseph was also there in the meeting room.<\/p>\n
Kathy locked gaze with him for a moment, and she couldn\u2019t help but have doubts written all over her face.<\/p>\n
After the meeting started, Kathy only learnt of the fact that Joseph was also a shareholder of this hospital. The current dean was going to retire and it was his intention to recommend Joseph to be the next dean of the hospital.<\/p>\n
However, Joseph didn\u2019t take on his offer.<\/p>\n
Next, it was time for Benedict and a few professors from the neurological department to put on a surgical demonstration.<\/p>\n
Joseph was watching them from the second floor.<\/p>\n
This was not Kathy\u2019s first time to participate in such a surgical demonstration, but at that moment, Joseph was watching her.<\/p>\n
Strangely, she felt her heart begin to race. She was even more nervous than that first time when she entered the surgical theater.<\/p>\n
Benedict walked over and noticed her flustered look. He lifted the corner of his lips and said coolly, \u201cWhy are you even more nervous than the first time you were in the theater?\u201d<\/p>\n
Kathy couldn\u2019t find any words to answer him at that moment.<\/p>\n
In that theater, she was the only student here. All the other participants were famous neurological professors, and she was afraid that she would hold Benedict back.<\/p>\n
As if he had seen through her thoughts, he patted her shoulders lightly and said reassuringly, \u201cKathy, believe in yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kathy nodded while taking a deep breath. She was fully ready at that moment.<\/p>\n
A few young doctors were surrounding him, looking like they were trying to learn a thing or two from him.<\/p>\n
Joseph patiently answered each of their questions and his gaze swept across Kathy after that. He called her name.<\/p>\n
Kathy frowned and turned around to reply him but he was already next to her.<\/p>\n
\u201cLet me send you back to school.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo thanks, I\u2019ll take a taxi\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not safe to do that.\u201d Joseph\u2019s tone was adamant.<\/p>\n
There were a few doctors looking in their direction curiously.<\/p>\n
Kathy didn\u2019t want to be scrutinized like that so she increased her pace.<\/p>\n
When all sounds of footsteps ceased to exist, she felt a sense of relief and also a sense of disappointment at the same time.<\/p>\n
While standing in front of the hospital, she saw no passing taxis since the time was very late. She couldn\u2019t hire a taxi through e-hailing apps at that timing as well.<\/p>\n
Walking back to school was not an option since she would have to walk for a few hours\u2026<\/p>\n
She could only wait patiently for a taxi to appear.<\/p>\n
After a short while, no taxis were in sight but instead, a black car rolled to stop in front of her.<\/p>\n
It looked like Joseph\u2019s car.<\/p>\n
However, when the window was winded down, it was not Joseph that came into her view.<\/p>\n
It was Julian.<\/p>\n
\u201cI just got off from work. Are you waiting for a taxi, Mrs. Joseph? At this timing, I don\u2019t think you will be able to wait for one to appear.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d Kathy\u2019s tone was indifferent and her eyes were still searching the road.<\/p>\n
\u201cLet me send you to your destination. Where are you planning to go?\u201d<\/p>\n
Kathy frowned slightly and before she could produce a reply, a long arm suddenly stretched over and grabbed her wrist.<\/p>\n
In an instant, she fell into a very familiar embrace.<\/p>\n
Joseph had a solemn look on his face as he brought Kathy away.<\/p>\n
Julian watched their figure getting smaller and smaller and his initially smiley face was now replaced with coldness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1034","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1034","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=1034"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
