Chapter 369
\nMy Sweetheart novel Chapter 369<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat, are you planning to let Julian send you back?\u201d Joseph asked coldly.<\/p>\n
Kathy was terrified at the sound of his voice.<\/p>\n
She wanted to retrieve her hand from Joseph\u2019s grip, but that only caused the grip to become stronger.<\/p>\n
She frowned as she came to a halt.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was waiting for a taxi just now.\u201d She began to explain.<\/p>\n
Suddenly, she recalled a trivial detail. She turned around and looked at that black car which was disappearing into the distance.<\/p>\n
She had seen this exact same car before. It was the car that Herbert had gotten into as reported by the media.<\/p>\n
At that time, she thought that this car belonged to Joseph. In hindsight, was the owner Julian all along?<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t ever have anything to do with Julian.\u201d Joseph narrowed his eyes and his face was very gloomy at that moment.<\/p>\n
His intimidating aura successfully clammed Kathy up. However, she could see that Joseph\u2019s face was much mellower compared to before. At least, she was sure now that Joseph had never sided with Herbert all along.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t have anything to do with him at all.\u201d She explained.<\/p>\n
\u201cStay with me.\u201d After saying that, he motioned for Kathy to enter his car.<\/p>\n
Kathy froze momentarily when she heard that.<\/p>\n
She couldn\u2019t really comprehend the meaning behind his words nor did she get into his car.<\/p>\n
\u201cMrs. Joseph.\u201d A familiar voice sounded by her ears, and Kathy felt her body slightly jerk.<\/p>\n
She looked up and met Joseph\u2019s deep gaze and in the next instant, his burning kiss immediately consumed her.<\/p>\n
She was almost breathless after being caught off guard.<\/p>\n
While she wriggled around in his embrace, she felt her body slowly losing its strength. She was lying limply in his embrace and could only support her own weight by clinging to him.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019ve\u2026 you\u2019ve gone too far.\u201d Kathy scolded him.<\/p>\n
Joseph already carried her into his car as she said that. He helped her buckle up.<\/p>\n
Kathy was very tired at that moment since she had experience five hours of surgery while being in a focused state. She would fall asleep at any minute.<\/p>\n
\u201cHave a good rest.\u201d His long fingers glided over her brows and his tone was very gentle.<\/p>\n
Kathy was trying to keep her eyes wide open but she couldn\u2019t resist the comfortable ambience enveloping her. She finally gave herself up to the dream world.<\/p>\n
The next time she opened her eyes, sunlight had dyed the sky a blinding white.<\/p>\n
So it really happens\u2026<\/p>\n
She looked sideways but found no signs of Joseph. In fact, she was in her\u2026 hostel?<\/p>\n
Kathy looked around her, trying to figure out what was going on.<\/p>\n
At that moment, she heard some noise coming from the door. Zofia came over with an ambiguous smile on her face as she asked, \u201cTsk tsk tsk, I thought you were with Joseph the whole night?\u201d<\/p>\n
Kathy was speechless when she heard that.<\/p>\n
\u201cDid Joseph send me back here?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHe carried you back here.\u201d<\/p>\n
Zofia even emphasized the fact that she was carried into her room and onto her bed.<\/p>\n
Kathy was once again speechless.<\/p>\n
She tugged at her messy hair while getting off the bed.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe surgery that I have participated in ended too late, that\u2019s why he had to send me back\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI know that. You don\u2019t need to explain about anything, I understand what happened very well.\u201d<\/p>\n
Based on Zofia\u2019s tone, Kathy knew that she had an entirely different image in her mind\u2026<\/p>\n
She didn\u2019t know how to make things clear either\u2026<\/p>\n
However, why didn\u2019t Joseph wake her up in the first place?<\/p>\n
She checked the time and saw that it was approaching noon.<\/p>\n
She immediately washed herself up and departed to the laboratory. It was a Saturday today, and she had to join in the research and development session of the Joseph\u2019s group\u2026<\/p>\n
However, when she arrived at the laboratory, there was not a single person there. Kathy froze for a moment and verified that the door was indeed locked.<\/p>\n
What was going on?<\/p>\n
She took out her phone, wanting to ask her lab mates about this, and this was when she realized that everyone had received the notification since yesterday night that because of a shortage of personnel, the development of LD Drug, the drug that they were developing were put on hold.<\/p>\n
Due to her prolonged surgery last night, she had missed out on this notification.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, she had to return to the hospital to take care of the aftermath.<\/p>\n
\u2026<\/p>\n
In the Joseph family.<\/p>\n
Seeing that Quinn was approaching her, Veronica immediately had a hideous expression on her face.<\/p>\n
She wanted to shut the door before he could come in but she was too late.<\/p>\n
A tall figure loomed over her, and Veronica cast him a stare.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy are you here?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cVeronica, don\u2019t shut me out. Let me accompany you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Afraid that she would cause a ruckus, she informed Joseph of this turn of events before tailing her.<\/p>\n
Billy was recuperating in an independent room. When Veronica arrived, a nurse was trying to stop her from entering.<\/p>\n
Despite that, Veronica possessed considerable strength. She shoved the nurse aside and entered the ward.<\/p>\n
There was a bodyguard watching over Billy in the ward. At the sight of Veronica, the bodyguard immediately stopped Veronica from proceeding further.<\/p>\n
Billy who was sitting on the bed looked coldly at Veronica who was seething with silent rage.<\/p>\n
He instructed the bodyguard, \u201cLet her in.\u201d<\/p>\n
Veronica snickered coldly at Billy who was seemingly impaired by serious injury. She thought, \u201cYou really know how to put on an act!\u201d<\/p>\n
There was no way she was responsible for inflicting such grave wounds on him, but it looked like Billy was injured all over!<\/p>\n
In order to convict her of this crime, he had done all he could!<\/p>\n
\u201cCould it be that you are here to visit me, Miss Joseph?\u201d Billy teased her mockingly.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am here to see with my own eyes whether you are dead!\u201d Veronica said angrily.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou didn\u2019t do enough damage to me.\u201d<\/p>\n
His words completely induced her rage as Veronica raised her hand in an attempt to strangle Billy.<\/p>\n
Before she could achieve that, he held Veronica\u2019s wrist in mid-air.<\/p>\n
At the same time, Joseph pushed the door open and was now inside the ward.<\/p>\n
He immediately came forward to pull Veronica away.<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Hilton, sorry for this disturbance.\u201d Joseph had a frosty expression on his face as he was about to drag Veronica away.<\/p>\n
Despite that, there was no way Veronica would obediently comply with him. She struggled mightily to shake free of him, not wanting to leave in peace.<\/p>\n
\u201cJoseph, let me go!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cStop creating trouble, Veronica!\u201d<\/p>\n
Seeing that the both of them were going to leave, Billy didn\u2019t want to squander away this perfect opportunity, \u201cCall the police now. There is someone here who has just threatened me!\u201d<\/p>\n
When the bodyguard heard his orders, he didn\u2019t dare to waste even one second. As he was about to make the call, Joseph single-handedly snatched his phone away and smashed it on a wall.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2026\u201d The bodyguard wanted to fly into a rage but upon seeing Joseph\u2019s frightening expression, he was intimidated to the point of not being able to say a word.<\/p>\n
\u201cCall the police now! What are you waiting for?\u201d Billy\u2019s authoritative voice sounded again.<\/p>\n
Joseph stopped in his tracks while glaring sternly at Billy, \u201cBilly, this is not a threat. We are just taking back our debt.\u201d<\/p>\n
