Zofia even brought several textbooks for her. Zofia was surprised to receive Joseph\u2019s call an hour ago and immediately came over.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat did you say? Joseph took your phone\u2026 no wonder, I kept sending you messages on Wechat and you didn\u2019t reply.\u201d Zofia suddenly realized.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut Joseph must have his reasons for doing this. He isn\u2019t that deviant.\u201d This was what Zofia thought about last night.<\/p>\n<p>Deviant. When she heard of this word, Kathy agreed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe is,\u201d Kathy said coldly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe purpose of him calling me just now must be for me to come over to keep you company he even reminded me to bring you some books to read.\u201d Even if Zofia said that, Kathy still wasn\u2019t able to understand Joseph.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just want to be discharged from the hospital as soon as possible,\u201d Kathy said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think you will need some more time to recuperate. You just had an operation and need to have daily checkups.\u201d Zofia browsed Kathy\u2019s medical records.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to transfer to another hospital. This is Joseph\u2019s place. I don\u2019t want to be under his control.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Zofia looked at Kathy with concern. Although she can\u2019t understand what Joseph has done, but this was the best hospital in City N. Kathy can have the best treatment over there. Furthermore, Zofia was more relieved because Joseph was a doctor and he can take care of Kathy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDo you really feel that way?\u201d Zofia frowned.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes, but I don\u2019t have a cell phone and can\u2019t contact my mother.\u201d Jennifer was the only one that could get her out of there.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can contact her for you but according to my brother, Joseph must have his reasons for doing this. He must be protecting you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe is imprisoning me.\u201d Kathy was sullen. She was very upset and can\u2019t listen to any reasoning.<\/p>\n<p>From how Joseph forced her to transfer hospital to taking away her cell phone, she didn\u2019t know how to convince herself to believe him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t be so pessimistic, it\u2019s not good for your recovery. Shucks, I don\u2019t know what I should do\u2026\u201d Zofia was out of her wits and looked desperate.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy laughed when she saw Zofia\u2019s worried looks, \u201cZofia, thanks for visiting me. Actually, I\u2019m just venting. I also know how powerful Joseph is and if he doesn\u2019t allow me to be discharged, there is no way I can leave. I can only wait.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ll ask my brother to think of something.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A moment later, Kathy needed to do another medical checkup and it was getting late and Zofia had to go home. On her way out, Zofia met Joseph and was blocking his way.  Joseph had a strong presence and Zofia felt very nervous to be face to face with him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMs. Marshall, please keep Kathy\u2019s location a secret.\u201d Joseph was the first to speak.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy should I listen to you?\u201d Zofia retorted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you don\u2019t listen to me, you will have to remain here and cannot leave,\u201d Joseph said calmly. He did not have the patience to deal with others.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou should know that she will hate you if you continue like this.\u201d She was very concerned about Kathy\u2019s pain and struggles.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019d rather she hates me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Zofia looked at Joseph in surprise and didn\u2019t say a word. She could see Kathy\u2019s feelings for Joseph but she totally can\u2019t figure out Joseph. Bertie was waiting for her outside the hospital. Zofia wanted to say something but stopped herself.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat did you want to say?\u201d Bertie could sense his sister\u2019s thoughts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCan we get Kathy out?\u201d Zofia asked. Kathy was very depressed and she was worried that it would affect her recovery. Furthermore, she could see that Kathy was suffering and wanted very much to leave the hospital.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow is she?\u201d Bertie asked worriedly. He had already forced himself not to be concerned over her matters but he still couldn\u2019t resist.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJoseph has kept her captive and even kept her cell phone, not allowing her to contact anyone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe still hasn\u2019t recovered and has to remain in the hospital.\u201d Bertie frowned.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut Kathy is in a bad state and can recuperate anywhere. Joseph is forcing her to stay here.\u201d Zofia became agitated. Had it been her, she would lose her mind after being kept in the patient\u2019s room without a phone for an hour.  Furthermore, Kathy had already been in that situation for two days.<\/p>\n<p>She knew that Jade was Joseph\u2019s staff and didn\u2019t talk too much with her.<\/p>\n<p>These few days Zofia had full days of classes and could only visit her on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen can you be discharged? I\u2019m the only person in the hostel room. I\u2019ll be terrified if a thunderstorm happens at night.\u201d Zofia frowned.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy laughed, \u201cI think I should be able to be discharged next week. The results of this morning\u2019s checkup were very favorable but I still require some monitoring.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s good. Give me your assignments. I\u2019ll hand them to Professor Watson.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Although Kathy had been hospitalized, she studied every day and kept in contact with Professor Watson.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou are really diligent. Without you at the dormitory, I have become lazy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThen go to the library. Aren\u2019t you dating with Sonny?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t like to date him?\u201d Zofia blushed when this name was mentioned.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBoth of you can go to the library together to study. Let him urge you to learn!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo no, Kathy, there is nothing between us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI didn\u2019t say that anything is going on between you two.\u201d Kathy was amused.<\/p>\n<p>Zofia pouted and both of them began to joke happily.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph stood outside and looked at Kathy\u2019s smile. She had not laughed like that for a long time since she had been with him.<\/p>\n<p>He turned and left the hospital.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1044","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1044","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=1044"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
