She packed her bags and left.<\/p>\n<p>She picked up the phone and found that there were several missed calls, which were all from Jennifer.<\/p>\n<p>She called back.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKathy, don\u2019t contact with Billy recently, remember.\u201d Jennifer said worriedly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have never had any contact with him, don&#8217;t worry.\u201d Kathy comforted her.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat&#8217;s good. The situation in the Hilton Group is very bad recently. Billy wants to cope with the Joseph\u2019s Group, I&#8217;m afraid he will make use of you.\u201d Jennifer said seriously.<\/p>\n<p>It was the last scene she wanted to see.<\/p>\n<p>And she knew that Billy did what he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI will arrange some bodyguards to protect you recently.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMom, I&#8217;m usually at school. I\u2019ll be fine.\u201d Kathy didn&#8217;t like this.<\/p>\n<p>It was uncomfortable to be monitored overtly and secretly.<\/p>\n<p>Jennifer frowned. She noticed the resistance in Kathy&#8217;s words, and her face became more gloomy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI&#8217;m really worried.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf something happens, I will contact you immediately.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After hanging up the phone, Kathy frowned. Why would Billy use her to deal with the Joseph\u2019s Group?<\/p>\n<p>She was no longer Mrs. Joseph, and she was meaningless to the Joseph\u2019s Group and Joseph.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy went back to school without thinking too much.<\/p>\n<p>But on the way back to school, she obviously felt someone following her.<\/p>\n<p>When she turned around, she found nothing.<\/p>\n<p>Suddenly, she was horrified.<\/p>\n<p>Holding the phone, she stood still, but she looked through the address book and finally stayed on the name Joseph.<\/p>\n<p>She did not delete his phone number, but changed the note from \u201chusband\u201d to \u201cJoseph\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>After hesitating, her fingertips lightly touched the number, and the phone was connected before Kathy realized it.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph&#8217;s deep voice came out, \u201cKathy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kathy was startled when she heard this.<\/p>\n<p>How could it be on the phone!<\/p>\n<p>She could only brace herself and put the phone to her ear.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat&#8217;s wrong?\u201d Joseph was acutely aware that Kathy was afraid.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt seems someone is following me&#8230;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kathy suddenly remembered what Jennifer had just told her. Had she already arranged the bodyguards for her?<\/p>\n<p>But why were they so sneaky?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStay there and wait for me!\u201d Joseph said in a deep voice and did not hang up.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy gradually calmed down when she heard the sound of Joseph\u2019s footsteps.<\/p>\n<p>It was very cold, and she couldn&#8217;t help but sneezed several times.<\/p>\n<p>There were few people coming and going on the streets, and it was very deserted.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph had rushed over in less than five minutes.<\/p>\n<p>It was only a few hundred meters away from the Joseph\u2019s Group. Kathy stood under the street lamp, her slender back made people wanted to cherish her.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph walked over, glanced over her body, and was completely relieved when he confirmed that she was fine.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet me take you home.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kathy nodded, because she didn&#8217;t dare to go back by herself.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy was still a little flustered when she got into the car. Could it be Billy&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>She was confused now, and she met Joseph&#8217;s deep gaze as soon as she raised her head.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAre you scared?\u201d Joseph held her small hand with his big thick hands<\/p>\n<p>Kathy subconsciously relied on the temperature passed from the palm of his hands.<\/p>\n<p>She bit her lip and said nothing.<\/p>\n<p>But Joseph understood.<\/p>\n<p>The car stopped in front of Ocean University half an hour later.<\/p>\n<p>Zofia had a relationship with Bertie, and they often communicated about  the business affairs. Maybe it won&#8217;t be long before the business community in City N would be change drastically.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy didn\u2019t know the current situation. Before going to bed at night, she couldn&#8217;t help but read the news.<\/p>\n<p>The Hilton Group recently launched a new drug, known as the low-cost alternative to one of the Joseph\u2019s Group&#8217;s new drugs, LI Drug.<\/p>\n<p>This was undoubtedly seizing the market with the Joseph\u2019s Group.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, in such a short time, it was impossible for the Hilton Group to develop a new drug on its own&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>A thought flashed in Kathy&#8217;s mind, this medicine wouldn\u2019t be exactly the same as LI Drug, would it?<\/p>\n<p>She was afraid that the Hilton Group could do anything when it was cornered.<\/p>\n<p>However, this does not seem to be her turn to worry. Even she could detect it, Joseph must already know.<\/p>\n<p>But it didn&#8217;t seem to be her turn to worry. Even she could tell. Joseph must have known.<\/p>\n<p>For the next period of time, Kathy was arranged for an internship in the hospital. A neurology professor in the hospital retired early, so Benedict had performed more operations recently.<\/p>\n<p>Monday, Kathy followed Benedict, and they were busy until the afternoon. It was night when they came out of the operating room.<\/p>\n<p>By the time she finished her report, there were few other medical staff on this floor.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy left the hospital, and she almost stayed up all night.<\/p>\n<p>She was just about to take a taxi when a royal blue sports car stopped by her side.<\/p>\n<p>The window rolled down and Billy&#8217;s handsome face showed up.<\/p>\n<p>She took a step back subconsciously, looking unhappy.<\/p>\n<p>Billy opened the door and got out of the car. \u201cKathy, I&#8217;m waiting for you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat&#8217;s the matter?\u201d Kathy looked at him indifferently.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt&#8217;s so late, I&#8217;ll send you back.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo, don&#8217;t bother.\u201d Kathy said coldly.<\/p>\n<p>When she saw that there was already a taxi behind, she quickly stopped it.<\/p>\n<p>Billy squinted his eyes coldly, and a terrifying smile gradually conjured up at the corner of his mouth.<\/p>\n<p>Seeing Kathy got in the taxi, he got into the car and followed her all the way.<\/p>\n<p>When turning a corner, a black car behind him accelerated and hit the car which Kathy was in violently.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1040","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1040","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=1040"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
