Chapter 406
\nMy Sweetheart novel Chapter 406<\/p>\n
Kathy went to the hospital in the afternoon. Benedict was holding a special consultation session today and hence she needed to be there.<\/p>\n
On the way, she went to pick up some documents. Ella was on duty.<\/p>\n
\u201cMiss Bridges\uff0cI need these, please,\u201d said Kathy as she handed the form she filled out earlier.<\/p>\n
Ella answered with a slight arrogance, \u201cThis form had some information crossed out on it. I need you to fill out a new one.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kathy frowned, this wasn\u2019t a requirement she knew of.<\/p>\n
But she needed to get the documents over soon, so she quickly filled out a new form.<\/p>\n
Ella walked over to get some water. She deliberately bumped into Kathy and the water in the cup spilt all over.<\/p>\n
The newly filled out form was now all wet and soggy.<\/p>\n
Kathy looked grim, she knew that Ella did it on purpose!<\/p>\n
Ella pretended to be apologetic, \u201cI\u2019m sorry, I didn\u2019t mean to\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cElla, I really need these documents. The professor has already started his consultation,\u201d said Kathy in a harsh tone.<\/p>\n
But Ella moved slower than ever, \u201cEven so, we still need to follow the protocol. I cannot give you special treatment, you know?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s a camera here, it records everything you\u2019ve done. I will complain about you if you keep interrupting my work on purpose. I think you are not officially employed yet, right Miss Bridges?\u201d<\/p>\n
Ella\u2019s face turned pale, she glared at Kathy angrily.<\/p>\n
But she did notice that there was a camera and didn\u2019t dare to pull any stunts anymore.<\/p>\n
She had some connections here, but she shouldn\u2019t be stirring up unnecessary trouble.<\/p>\n
She grabbed the form that Kathy handed in from the start and found the documents that were needed.<\/p>\n
\u201cThank you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kathy was only done with work around the evening. It was already nighttime by the time she finished up everything.<\/p>\n
She planned to eat after she got back to the university. Unanticipatedly, she saw Joseph walking into the hospital building just when she was going to leave.<\/p>\n
Their eyes met.<\/p>\n
Kathy remained emotionless and she quickly looked away.<\/p>\n
Their shoulders touched and Kathy could smell that familiar scent from him. She felt a tingle in her nose.<\/p>\n
Joseph didn\u2019t even glance at her.<\/p>\n
Bertie watched them from afar and he grimaced.<\/p>\n
\u201cKathy, let me send you home.\u201d Bertie drove closer to Kathy when he saw that she was going to take the bus.<\/p>\n
Kathy ignored him, she continued walking to the bus stop.<\/p>\n
Bertie followed her patiently. He drove behind the bus after Kathy got on the bus. He trailed the vehicle until she got off the bus at the university stop.<\/p>\n
He parked his car at the entrance, and he called his assistant.<\/p>\n
\u201cHow is the investigation going?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve already forwarded the information about the Bridges family to your email. Ella and Joseph are getting married next month.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bertie grabbed his phone tightly hearing the news.<\/p>\n
\u2026<\/p>\n
Time passed in a blink of an eye and it was Friday. Kathy went to the classroom earlier than usual. To her surprise, Joseph was already in the classroom.<\/p>\n
A few students surrounded him, and they were discussing something.<\/p>\n
Kathy tried to read her book, but the people sitting close to her was gossiping loudly.<\/p>\n
\u201cIs Professor Joseph really getting married to Ella?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWho is Ella? Is she good enough for our dear Professor Joseph?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know, but I heard that she works as a nurse at Ocean University\u2019s hospital.<\/p>\n
\u201cHow did someone like her caught Professor Joseph\u2019s eyes? I hate it\u2026my crush\u2026is going to become someone else\u2019s husband\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
Kathy frowned, the gossiping bunch finally stopped when the class was about to start.<\/p>\n
Joseph\u2019s classes were always very interesting. The atmosphere in the class was nice and the students took part proactively in the assignments given.<\/p>\n
But she was in a daze\u2026<\/p>\n
\u201cI want to know,\u201d answered Joseph.<\/p>\n
Kathy snickered, \u201cNo can do.\u201d<\/p>\n
Suddenly, his phone rang. Kathy was sitting close to the phone, she lowered her head slightly and saw who was the one calling.<\/p>\n
Ella.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll be taking my leave. You are a busy man, Professor Joseph. I shouldn\u2019t take up your precious time for extra classes.\u201d<\/p>\n
Joseph called out to her when she was about to leave the office. He had already hung up the call.<\/p>\n
\u201cKathy.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIs there anything else about the class that you want to talk to me about, Professor Joseph?\u201d Kathy turned around and the expression in her eyes was bleak and frigid.<\/p>\n
Joseph pressed his lips together, there was a ruthless look in his eyes but he quickly suppressed it.<\/p>\n
\u201cI will keep my promises. Come here tonight for the extra lessons, I will be waiting,\u201d said Joseph in a deep tone of voice.<\/p>\n
Kathy frowned unhappily, \u201cMiss Bridges will be mad if you go home late right, Professor Joseph?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t live with her,\u201d answered Joseph coldly.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut I don\u2019t want to be alone with you. I will get in trouble with Miss Bridges if she finds out about it,\u201d responded Kathy.<\/p>\n
Ella was already giving her a lot of problems in the hospital. Kathy just wanted to do her postgraduate in peace.<\/p>\n
\u201cI will tell her to stay put.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe best way to make her stay put is that we keep a distance with each other, Professor Joseph.\u201d<\/p>\n
She kept calling him Professor Joseph as a way to emphasize their current relationship.<\/p>\n
Joseph had a glum expression on his face.<\/p>\n
He grabbed onto her wrist as she was about to leave. He then closed the door and slightly pushed her against the wall.<\/p>\n
Kathy glared at him furiously, \u201cJoseph, enough!\u201d<\/p>\n
Joseph didn\u2019t say anything back. He squinted his eyes and locked his gaze onto her.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1072","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1072","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=1072"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
