Chapter 375
\nMy Sweetheart novel Chapter 375<\/p>\n
An hour later, at the hospital, Billy stood outside the emergency room, his fingers clutching a cigarette and his gaze full of good humor. Jennifer came over not too much later, but was flustered compared to his calm. \u201cHow could she get in an accident,\u201d she murmured to herself, her gaze finally falling on Billy.<\/p>\n
His expression revealed his helplessness. \u201cMom, don\u2019t look at me like that, if it were really me, do you think I could still stand here?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n
But she didn\u2019t believe him. Standing before him, with eyes full of disappointment, she said, \u201cIf I find out this has something to do with you, Billy, don\u2019t blame me when I get harsh.\u201d<\/p>\n
He smiled coldly. \u201cYou\u2019ve always been harsh. So you admit you think it\u2019s my fault Kathy got in the car accident, is that it?\u201d With that, he tossed away the cigarette.<\/p>\n
In that cold, empty hallway, Jennifer kept her back straight, her gaze never leaving the blinking red light. The next morning, when Kathy was finally wheeled out of the emergency room, she rushed to the doctor to ask, \u201cHow\u2026 How is my daughter?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe patient suffered a traumatic head injury, we just performed surgery, but she\u2019s not out of danger yet,\u201d the doctor replied gravely. Kathy\u2019s situation was not optimistic. Hearing this, Jennifer could barely stand. Tears slipped down her face.<\/p>\n
At that moment, at Joseph Bay, the guard had already been there quite a while. When Joseph exited, he hurried over. \u201cSir, Miss Kathy was in a car accident.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hearing this, Joseph\u2019s face froze. Grabbing the guard by the shirt, he demanded, \u201cHow could that possibly happen!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2026 the culprit\u2019s already been apprehended, it was an accident.\u201d<\/p>\n
Joseph smiled coldly, obviously unbelieving. The guard didn\u2019t dare speak\u2014Joseph\u2019s expression was frightening.<\/p>\n
Thirty minutes later, Joseph personally drove himself to the hospital. Kathy was in the critical care unit, her mother standing over her. Seeing Joseph, Jennifer sniffed hard, unable to keep from crying.<\/p>\n
\u201cMa\u2019am, let me take over,\u201d said Joseph, his tone commanding.<\/p>\n
She looked at him, before saying finally, \u201cShe\u2019s my daughter, I\u2019ll take care of her.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s no need. She\u2019s with me.\u201d<\/p>\n
She glared. \u201cDon\u2019t forget, you\u2019re already divorced!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSo what?\u201d he asked icily. That said, he turned to look at Kathy\u2019s chart, then at her pale face. By that point, she should have woken\u2014and she was meant for a checkup.<\/p>\n
A nurse and doctor came over, and Jennifer followed anxiously as they wheeled Kathy to an examination room. Joseph donned his white lab coat, and the nurse blocked Jennifer\u2019s way. \u201cI\u2019m sorry, family members must wait outside.\u201d<\/p>\n
So there Jennifer had to linger for three hours. When she went to inquire after Kathy\u2019s status, she discovered she had already been transferred to another hospital.<\/p>\n
Just then, at City N Hospital, Kathy woke in a section newly constructed via investment by the Joseph Group. It was extremely private, and the staff was the best in the country. She had no strength whatsoever, and her head ached terribly. It hurt so bad. She was so dizzy. Opening her eyes, her vision clearing, she found a man mere inches away.<\/p>\n
How could he be here? Where\u2026 was she? Joseph, standing by her bedside, saw her wake, and gripped her hand tightly\u2014so tightly she gasped. \u201cI\u2026\u201d She remembered then. She\u2019d been in an accident? She\u2019d just gotten into a taxi, and when making a turn, a crazy driver had rammed them from behind. After that, she recalled nothing. So this was a hospital? But it was so fancy\u2026 it seemed more like a hotel.<\/p>\n
\u201cDoes your head hurt badly?\u201d asked Joseph, bending at the waist, his gaze full of concern. Very carefully, he rubbed her temples. Gradually Kathy felt much better.<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d Joseph\u2019s expression was unreadable. \u201cRest for now, I\u2019ll go handle some things, and return to keep you company later.\u201d<\/p>\n
She said, \u201cYou don\u2019t need to, I\u2019m fine on my own.\u201d She didn\u2019t want to trouble him\u2026<\/p>\n
\u201cKathy, whether or not you agree, I\u2019ll stay with you,\u201d he said firmly.<\/p>\n
After he left, she found her phone, which had long since died. She plugged it in, and immediately received a call from Zofia. \u201cKathy, have you been kidnapped by aliens?\u201d Last night Kathy had not returned to the dorm, and she\u2019d been worried sick. She\u2019d enlisted Bertie\u2019s help in searching, but they\u2019d found no trace of her. Now, speaking to Kathy, she was both excited and anxious.<\/p>\n
Lowly Kathy said, \u201cI\u2026 I got in a car accident. I might have to stay in the hospital a while.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat? How? How could you get in an accident\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was probably unintentional. I\u2019m okay now, I got surgery.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSurgery? That\u2019s huge! Where are you, I\u2019ll come at once.\u201d Kathy furrowed her brow and looked around. She had no idea what hospital this was. If not for the needle in her arm, she\u2019d think it a resort. \u201cKathy?\u201d asked Zofia in the ensuing silence, beginning to worry again.<\/p>\n
\u201cLet me see.\u201d She turned on her GPS, and sent the location to Zofia. \u201cZofia, I\u2019m really fine, don\u2019t come.\u201d<\/p>\n
But Zofia asked, \u201cWhat hospital is this? I\u2019ve never heard of it.\u201d Kathy looked, and saw she\u2019d never heard of it either. \u201cI\u2019m coming now, wait for me.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1041","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1041","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=1041"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
