She asked concerningly, \u201cMom, are you hurt?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBilly still doesn\u2019t dare to hurt me, but you\u2026\u201d Jennifer shook her head.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m fine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kathy was going to go back to the university, but Jennifer\u2019s emotion wasn\u2019t very stable right now. She decided to accompany Jennifer back to Booth\u2019s old castle first.<\/p>\n<p>Bertie was also accompanying them the whole time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Hilton group is now hanging by a thread and mom can\u2019t control Billy anymore. You should avoid meeting him for the time being,\u201d said Jennifer.<\/p>\n<p>Jennifer knew that Bertie had already sent some people to protect Kathy and hence she felt more assured.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy nodded, \u201cI know.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI will also send some people to track Billy\u2019s whereabouts, Mrs. Booth. I won\u2019t let him hurt Kathy,\u201d said Bertie with his deep voice.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThank you, Bertie.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At Joseph\u2019s group.<\/p>\n<p>John handed Kathy\u2019s medical report to Joseph.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMr. Joseph, I swapped the medical report beforehand.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOkay.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Joseph answered indifferently and took the report from John\u2019s hand.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy did a brain CT scan during the checkup. He took out the CT image and took a good look at it. The expression on his face turned darker and darker.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWho was the surgeon that did the surgery on the day of the accident?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ll go check.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo need, I\u2019ll go to the hospital right now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He took long strides and quickly left after finishing his sentence.<\/p>\n<p>On the way, John had found the list of the doctors that did Kathy\u2019s surgery on the day of the accident. Joseph went up directly to the office when he got to the hospital.<\/p>\n<p>Even though he wasn\u2019t a doctor anymore, but in the medical field, his skills were top-notch, and no one could surpass him.<\/p>\n<p>John waited worriedly outside. Finally, after an hour, Joseph walked out with the doctor who oversaw the surgery that day.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDo you have a cigarette?\u201d asked Joseph.<\/p>\n<p>This was the first time his boss asked such a question.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph wasn\u2019t addicted to smoking and usually only had the cigarette in his mouth. He never actually smoked them.<\/p>\n<p>John thought that maybe it was the same this time around. But to his surprise, Joseph started smoking the cigarette.<\/p>\n<p>His expression was darker and sombre than ever<\/p>\n<p>There was also a hint of sadness and agony on his face.<\/p>\n<p>John thought his eyes were playing tricks on him\u2026 But it was too real.<\/p>\n<p>He instinctively moved to the side. Did something actually happen to Miss Kathy?<\/p>\n<p>Otherwise, his boss wouldn\u2019t have switched her report into another one.<\/p>\n<p>\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Recently, the Hilton group introduced a new medicine \u201cLT\u201d into the market and their sales skyrocketed. They took over some of Joseph\u2019s group\u2019s market and managed to avoid the crisis.<\/p>\n<p>Still, they were facing more than one problem right now.<\/p>\n<p>Because of the problems from before, there was a large expenditure, and their funding was slowly depleting. They had to raise some money through financing, otherwise, the Hilton group wouldn\u2019t last much longer.<\/p>\n<p>Billy went to the Booth group after his meeting.<\/p>\n<p>He couldn\u2019t see Jennifer and so he waited downstairs.<\/p>\n<p>It was already nighttime when Jennifer finally left the Booth group.<\/p>\n<p>She saw Billy and her gentle expression turned darker.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou still have the guts to come and see me?\u201d said Jennifer, her tone of voice was frigid.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMom, I was wrong.\u201d Billy didn\u2019t sound as arrogant as he was before anymore.<\/p>\n<p>If he lost the Hilton group, he would lose everything.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBilly, I know you want me to help you, but that\u2019s impossible.\u201d Jennifer ignored him and left the Booth group.<\/p>\n<p>Though Billy kept following her, he even stopped in front of her car to halt her in her tracks.<\/p>\n<p>The driver stepped on the brakes abruptly and looked at Jennifer helplessly, \u201cMiss Booth, Mr. Hilton is blocking the road\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There was nothing Jennifer could do but to get off the car. She looked at Billy and felt a bit sorry for him.<\/p>\n<p>The new medicine product \u201cLT\u201d that Billy developed was an imitation product of the Joseph\u2019s Group\u2019s \u201cLI\u201d. They were ordered to take their product off the market and the Hilton Group was hit with a penalty.<\/p>\n<p>On the very day, the Hilton Group\u2019s stock crashed and hit rock bottom.<\/p>\n<p>Zofia was watching the news about the Hilton Group intently every day, she earnestly wished for the Hilton Group to declare bankruptcy soon.<\/p>\n<p>She was elated after seeing the news today.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy heard Zofia making noises and went over to watch the news too.<\/p>\n<p>The Hilton Group\u2019s situation was a rollercoaster ride for the past few days. The whole city was watching, but not one enterprise was willing to help them.<\/p>\n<p>Everybody knew that the Hilton Group wouldn\u2019t last much longer.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy looked indifferent, she couldn\u2019t feel strong emotions despite what was happening.<\/p>\n<p>She thought Jennifer would give a helping hand since Billy was someone that she brought up, but it seemed like she wasn\u2019t planning to.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy went to the hospital in the night to help Benedict out, she only left the hospital around midnight.<\/p>\n<p>She didn\u2019t take a break the whole time and maybe because of that, her head started to throb. She had to squat down, and her face was turning pale.<\/p>\n<p>The bodyguard who was protecting Kathy in the dark immediately walked up to her and contacted Bertie.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph also got a call from a bodyguard, he also arranged some people to watch over Kathy,<\/p>\n<p>His face turned solemn knowing that Bertie was rushing to Kathy. He was still in a meeting and the other executives didn\u2019t dare to say anything after seeing his bleak expression.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph rubbed his nose bridge and said coldly, \u201cContinue.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At the hospital.<\/p>\n<p>The doctor was already in the wardroom and was doing a checkup for Kathy. He affirmed that Kathy had fainted due to low blood sugar.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDid you eat anything today?\u201d asked the doctor.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy thought for a bit, \u201cI haven\u2019t had dinner yet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There was too much stuff in her mind just now.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou must eat three meals on time, your body is still very weak right now,\u201d said the doctor.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy nodded, she could feel that recently her body wasn\u2019t as sturdy as it used to be.<\/p>\n<p>But she was only 25 years old, why was she so weak?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1052","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1052","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=1052"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
