She could only contact Jennifer to pick her up.<\/p>\n<p>But in the next second, her phone was taken away from her by Joseph, who even turned off the light in the ward.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You should go to bed early. Don\u2019t overthink the problem.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>With that, he left the ward. There was only a soft light in the ward, and Kathy couldn&#8217;t see her surroundings clearly.<\/p>\n<p>She was heartbroken and disappointed.<\/p>\n<p>Outside the ward, Joseph leaned against the wall, a sinister expression gradually erupting on his face.<\/p>\n<p>He had always been a man with great endurance, but all his self-control would collapse as long as he was confronted with Kathy.<\/p>\n<p>After a while, John came over with a palpitating heart.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph had spent all day in the hospital for these two days, and had actually left a lot of work behind in Joseph&#8217;s group.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Boss, here is all the information about the new drug recently launched by the Hilton Group, LT Drug.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Only then did Joseph settle his mind and took over the document.<\/p>\n<p>LT Drug, LI Drug, even the names of the medicines were so similar.<\/p>\n<p>It was bound to mislead the customers.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;File a complaint with the FDA and collect more evidence,&#8221; Joseph commanded.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I get it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Anything else?&#8221; Joseph frowned as he saw that John hadn&#8217;t left yet.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Currently, the perpetrator of Miss Kathy&#8217;s car accident has turned himself in, but I found out that he was a bodyguard that Billy used to hire.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>There was no trace of surprise on Joseph&#8217;s face.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Is there anything unusual about Billy lately?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He has been looking into Miss Kathy&#8217;s whereabouts.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>When Joseph heard John&#8217;s words, the ruthlessness flashed across Joseph&#8217;s eyes.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Make sure the security measures here are perfect. I don&#8217;t want what just happened to happen again. No one is allowed in here.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Kathy stayed awake until the next morning.<\/p>\n<p>Her gaze was fixed on the closed door. She couldn&#8217;t get out of bed by herself, so she had no choice but to wait for Joseph to come in.<\/p>\n<p>But in fact, he was outside the door all along and never left.<\/p>\n<p>She spent a sleepless night, and so did he.<\/p>\n<p>A little while later, Jade came in with a tray of breakfast, but Joseph didn&#8217;t come in.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy looked at the familiar woman in front of her and remembered that she seemed to have been Joseph&#8217;s personal nurse.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Eat.&#8221; There was a domineering command in his tone of voice.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy ignored his words and said, &#8220;When are you going to give me back my phone?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You must promise me one condition.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What&#8217;s it?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You can&#8217;t tell anyone that you&#8217;re here.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Kathy sneered, &#8220;It seems that you have treated this place as your home rather than a hospital.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Do as I say, Kathy.&#8221; Joseph&#8217;s tone was softened.<\/p>\n<p>But Kathy was not to be dissuaded at all.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Joseph, if I get the phone back, I&#8217;ll call the police immediately!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Joseph&#8217;s expression remained indifferent and didn&#8217;t get angry at Kathy&#8217;s words.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Eat something before you have the strength to call the police, otherwise I&#8217;ll have to ask the nurse to give you an IV drip.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Kathy bit her lips hard. In front of him, she seemed to be a puppet that he could manipulate at will.<\/p>\n<p>Taking a deep breath, she picked up the spoon, but as soon as she took a bite, she couldn&#8217;t help but spit it all out.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph held Kathy&#8217;s shoulder, but she immediately shook his hand off viciously.<\/p>\n<p>The disgust in her eyes was so obvious.<\/p>\n<p>After rinsing her mouth, Kathy continued to eat.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph stood in front of her, but she bowed her head and remained silent.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When can I get out of the hospital?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Soon if you eat well.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;How long are you going to imprison me?&#8221; Kathy threw up another question.<\/p>\n<p>She didn&#8217;t know Joseph&#8217;s intention, but the deprivation of freedom was unbearable for her.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You think I&#8217;m imprisoning you?&#8221; Joseph&#8217;s look was frosty and sullen.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Absolutely.&#8221; Kathy sneered.<\/p>\n<p>She didn&#8217;t feel like she was recuperating at all.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph didn&#8217;t say a word, and his eyes were terrifying.<\/p>\n<p>After a while, he slammed the door and left sullenly.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy looked down at the light dishes, which were actually to her liking, her tears inexplicably welling up in her eyes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1043","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1043","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=1043"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
