Chapter 398
\nMy Sweetheart novel Chapter 398<\/p>\n
Joseph took Kathy to race over to Benedict\u2019s hospital room. A nurse blocked them in the doorway, and asked, \u201cAre you relatives of the patient?\u201d<\/p>\n
Worriedly Kathy replied, \u201cI\u2019m Professor Watson\u2019s student.\u201d<\/p>\n
The nurse said coldly, \u201cIf you\u2019re not a family member, you can\u2019t visit.\u201d<\/p>\n
Joseph\u2019s expression didn\u2019t change. His gaze fell on the tightly shut door. He went over and pushed it open. The nurse wanted to stop him, but his aura of power was too strong\u2014she didn\u2019t dare. All she could do was to remind outsider, \u201cYou can\u2019t interrupt the patient\u2019s rest!\u201d Then she hurried to report the incident to her superiors.<\/p>\n
Inside the room, Benedict was looking lively, a book in his hands. \u201cProfessor Watson!\u201d Kathy exclaimed, rushing over with great concern.<\/p>\n
He looked at them in surprise. \u201cHow did you two come to be here?\u201d<\/p>\n
Softly she said, \u201cWhen I couldn\u2019t reach you, I was so worried. I had to come.\u201d Seeing him looking well, she felt such relief.<\/p>\n
\u201cI lost my phone in the accident, and I can\u2019t leave the hospital. My assistant is in the hospital as well,\u201d he replied with a furrowed brow. Though he\u2019d not been badly hurt, the doctor had insisted he remain in the hospital to be examined. He himself was a doctor, he was quite familiar with his own condition.<\/p>\n
\u201cProfessor, are you all right?\u201d Kathy asked with concern.<\/p>\n
\u201cBy and large, yes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThen\u2026\u201d Kathy looked at Joseph.<\/p>\n
Benedict could see what she intended. \u201cI want to return to City N as soon as possible. Go and help me finish all the formalities.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kathy responded, \u201cI\u2019ll go now!\u201d<\/p>\n
In Benedict\u2019s room, Joseph looked over his charts, and saw there was no reason for him to remain in hospital. Carefully he said, \u201cProfessor, I\u2019d like to know the details of the accident.\u201d<\/p>\n
Benedict told him that the accident had happened three days ago. The bus he\u2019d been on had crashed into a railing, and currently the cause was suspected to be the driver\u2019s fault. All the passengers had entered the hospital. But he didn\u2019t know how they were doing, he\u2019d not seen a single familiar face since being admitted. He\u2019d applied to leave, but been denied.<\/p>\n
Once Benedict finished, Joseph\u2019s expression became quite dark. It didn\u2019t take him long to discover that they were intentionally keeping him from leaving the hospital. When Kathy tried to pursue the procedures that would allow him to be released, no one was willing to sign off on them.<\/p>\n
When she returned, Joseph was standing in the driveway, with John beside him, reporting. Kathy hadn\u2019t yet drawn near\u2014she intended to enter another room and look for the nurse from before. It was just she didn\u2019t quite recall what she looked like, so finding her was difficult.<\/p>\n
That nurse, when handing her surgical tools, had worn a mask, but she remembered her voice. It had been steady, and even almost familiar. As she was racking her brain, Joseph came over. \u201cThe nurse who handed you the tools is called Ella Bridges, and she\u2019s not here,\u201d he told her.<\/p>\n
\u201cThen where is she?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cShe\u2019s been transferred to BV City\u2019s hospital, and won\u2019t be back for a short while.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSo can I still find her?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d Joseph had already instructed people to go to BV City. It was just that Ella\u2019s identity was a bit strange.<\/p>\n
\u201cThank you,\u201d said Kathy sincerely.<\/p>\n
Joseph drew her close from behind and planted a tender kiss between her shoulders, saying honestly, \u201cKathy, even if we find her, she\u2019s already been bribed.\u201d He knew Kathy wanted to find Ella in the hopes that she could explain the whole incident, but the security footage had been tampered with. That meant Ella did not wish Kathy well.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2026\u201d She\u2019d thought of this too. But so long as there was even a scrap of hope, she couldn\u2019t let it go.<\/p>\n
Benedict asked, \u201cHas the university president contacted you?\u201d<\/p>\n
Though she\u2019d gone through so much, the president was still dissatisfied with her. \u201cYes, he\u2019s given me a week to find evidence.\u201d<\/p>\n
He furrowed his brow. \u201cHow much time have you got left?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cFour days.\u201d<\/p>\n
He considered that, his gaze deep and dim. Ever since Kathy had come to their university, no day had passed without incident. He felt deeply for her. After all, she worked closely with him\u2014he knew her temperament. \u201cI\u2019ll do my best to help you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Returning to the university, Kathy went to her dorm. Zofia, upon finally seeing her, rushed over to hug her. \u201cYou\u2019re finally back.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kathy\u2019s expression betrayed her contrition. \u201cI\u2019m sorry, I\u2019ve been in a bad mood lately.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI understand, after what you\u2019ve gone through. I get it,\u201d said Zofia, patting her on the shoulder. \u201cWon\u2019t you go to Joseph\u2019s today?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2026 He\u2019s probably already in BV City.\u201d He hadn\u2019t contacted her at all up to that point.<\/p>\n
With concern Zofia asked, \u201cHas he found anything out?\u201d<\/p>\n
Kathy shook her head. \u201cI\u2019m waiting for news.\u201d She was so tired\u2014she\u2019d been running around like mad. She fell asleep as soon as she lay down, and Zofia, watching her, sighed. When Bertie messaged her, she mentioned Kathy out of habit.<\/p>\n
But her brother was unhappy. Knowing Joseph and Kathy were back together, it had been a long time since he\u2019d come by the school.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1064","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1064","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=1064"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
