\u201cIs she okay?\u201d Bertie asked, calling her immediately.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think so, but inside she must be suffering.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cTake good care of her.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI will. I can\u2019t help but think that ever since she enrolled, bad things have happened to her.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cShe should never have enrolled at Ocean University.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy?\u201d<\/p>\n
Bertie did not reply. Some things, even he didn\u2019t know too much about. \u201cIt\u2019s late, get some sleep.\u201d<\/p>\n
He hung up on her, and Zofia, looking at her phone, felt quite frustrated. Why would he be so vague?<\/p>\n
The next day, Kathy woke quite early. Benedict was back, and she wanted to train with him. She went to the hospital, which she still felt a bit apprehensive about. The patient who\u2019d been infected had not yet woken. Because Aaron was not a neurologist, the patient had been passed on to Benedict.<\/p>\n
Aaron, seeing Kathy, narrowed his eyes. \u201cBenedict, why have you brought Kathy?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cShe\u2019s my student.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHer behavior isn\u2019t acceptable, the president wants her expelled.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cProfessor Fisher, I haven\u2019t been expelled yet, I have a right to be here,\u201d Kathy responded coolly.<\/p>\n
Aaron scoffed, \u201cIs that the sort of attitude a student should have?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou disrespected me first. I don\u2019t think my attitude is the problem.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou! Kathy\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
Coldly Benedict cut in, \u201cAll right, Aaron, I\u2019ll take over with the patient. Thanks for your work up until now.\u201d<\/p>\n
Aaron flushed and stormed away, and Kathy heaved a sigh of relief before focusing on the task at hand. But it wasn\u2019t long before a middle-aged woman entered asking, \u201cAre you Kathy?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHi,\u201d Kathy replied, \u201cI\u2019m\u2014\u201d<\/p>\n
But before she could finish, the girl stormed over and shoved her, saying, \u201cYou\u2019re despicable, it\u2019s your fault that my son won\u2019t wake up!\u201d<\/p>\n
Kathy paled, leaning against the wall for support, but it was as if the woman before her had gone mad\u2014she wanted to shove her again. Kathy steadied herself and fended off the other woman, saying, \u201cI\u2019m sorry for what\u2019s happened to this patient, but right now the incident is unclear, please calm down.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHow can I calm down? This is all your fault, it\u2019s your fault he was infected, it was you!\u201d Her voice was quite loud, attracting the attention of many in the hallway. They all looked at Kathy with reproach.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo it was her fault\u2026 I heard she used surgical tools that hadn\u2019t been disinfected\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMiss Kathy, he\u2019s busy\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOkay, if he gets a chance, please have him call me. Thanks.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cGot it.\u201d John hung up and looked at his boss, cold sweat dripping down his back. \u201cSir, Miss Kathy requests that you call her.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOkay,\u201d said Joseph. Yet he made no move to do so. John didn\u2019t dare say anything, though Joseph was not busy at that moment\u2026<\/p>\n
Some time later, Joseph left the hotel. Along the river was a restaurant, its interior romantic and tasteful. Nearly all its patrons were couples. Joseph entered expressionlessly and sat down at the best table. Ella approached.<\/p>\n
She wore a long red dress that hugged her figure, and looked bewitching. Yet she was no more than twenty. Coyly she said, \u201cI\u2019d half-thought you weren\u2019t coming.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou dared threaten me. How could I not come?\u201d he smiled coldly.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou know, I like you.\u201d Faced with him, she couldn\u2019t control her feelings. A year ago he\u2019d driven her out of City N, and her parents had divorced. She\u2019d gone to live with her mother, changed her name, but her feelings for Joseph had never changed.<\/p>\n
Now she wasn\u2019t Sophie Fisher, but Ella Bridges. Yet Ella still loved Joseph. Though she\u2019d never be Sophie again, she\u2019d go after what Sophie had wanted.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou say you like me, yet you threaten me,\u201d he noted coolly.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s all I can do. I know you and Kathy have divorced, so I\u2019ve got a chance.\u201d She pursed her lips hopefully. She always wanted to act mature, but before Joseph, she was just a little girl.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1065","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1065","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=1065"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
