Hm?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Joseph was able sense how she was feeling just now.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m fine.\u201d Kathy muttered.<\/p>\n<p>She did not want to admit anything in front of Joseph.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSorry for troubling you today, Doctor Kathy.\u201d Joseph then quickly left.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy felt slightly baffled when she heard him call her that.<\/p>\n<p>This was the first time that someone had called her that.<\/p>\n<p>She was after all still just a student and an intern at the hospital. However, Joseph calling her by this name gave her a feeling of recognition.<\/p>\n<p>The smile on her face spread.<\/p>\n<p>However a second later Ella said coldly, &#8220;The patient needs to remain in the hospital for observation, so tonight you need to stay on duty.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The way she said this made it seem like she was a superior giving an order.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy frowned, for she had always known what her job obligations were, and the person to stay on duty was Ella therefore she would not agree to this.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMiss Bridges, I am scheduled to work tomorrow morning. In addition, I think you need to consider what your position is before you can expect me to follow your orders.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After she said this she quickly returned to the office and wrote down the notes regarding today\u2019s surgery.<\/p>\n<p>Just as she was about to leave, Joseph walked in holding his white doctor\u2019s coat that he had just taken off.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy handed the report over to him and said, \u201cDr Joseph, here are the written notes regarding today\u2019s surgery.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOk.\u201d Joseph responded but didn\u2019t look at it straight away.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWould you like to eat with me in a bit?\u201d His flat tone made it seem as if he was just casually asking.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy\u2019s face froze and she quickly shook her head.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI need to go back to my school.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThen how about I drop you off there?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not on your way.\u201d Kathy was trying to find an excuse.<\/p>\n<p>Once she had packed her bag she quickly walked out.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph frowned, and when he raised his eyes up again Kathy was already gone.<\/p>\n<p>The expression on his face looked sullen.<\/p>\n<p>It didn\u2019t take long for Ella to come over. There were still three more days until the wedding; however Joseph hadn\u2019t helped with any of the preparations.<\/p>\n<p>She had been feeling uneasy all the way up to now.<\/p>\n<p>Obviously she was very close to being finally happy with him, however why did she still feel that this man didn\u2019t belong to her.<\/p>\n<p>A look of disappointment appeared on her face, she wanted to say something however hesitated when she saw the apathetic look on his face.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJoseph, there are just three days left until the wedding, I\u2019m\u2026 I\u2019m feeling very nervous.\u201d She said rather apprehensively.<\/p>\n<p>Once he heard this, Joseph looked up from his pile of medical records and then said rather indifferently, \u201cLet your family come over and accompany you, you don\u2019t need to come to work these next few days, just stay in the apartment and clear your mind.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ella pursed her lips and said nothing.<\/p>\n<p>Her family were coming on the day of the wedding and she wasn\u2019t the kind of person who liked to sit around doing nothing idly. In addition all she would do in the apartment is overthink, therefore it would be better to keep coming to the hospital to work, since this way she would sometimes also be able to see Joseph.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think things are fine as they are now. Joseph, have you tried on the groom\u2019s suit yet?\u201d Ella asked.<\/p>\n<p>A sudden coldness flashed in his eyes, \u201cHad no time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Once he said this he hurried out to attend to other matters.<\/p>\n<p>Ella touched her chin and watched the back of Joseph\u2019s cold and detached figure.<\/p>\n<p>This was so hard to bear.<\/p>\n<p>Outside, John had already arrived with the car.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph sat in back with the same sullen expression as before.<\/p>\n<p>John took his bag and placed it in the front seat and then said, \u201cJoseph, this suit has been in the office for a long time now\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>John\u2019s voice was becoming quieter and quieter as Joseph\u2019s expression grew colder and colder\u2026<\/p>\n<p>After he put down the bag he immediately withdrew his hand away.<\/p>\n<p>His eyes fell onto the groom\u2019s suit in the box which had a note left by Ella for him. I didn\u2019t know your exact size, so I prepared two sizes in case.<\/p>\n<p>However the person in charge said that it would be preferable if they were also able to come into work on Sunday to do overtime.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy had no problem with this, and in any case tomorrow was Joseph\u2019s wedding, and she didn\u2019t want to go.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile on the top floor of the Joseph Group\u2019s building.<\/p>\n<p>After Joseph\u2019s meeting, the person in charge had already submitted today\u2019s research and develop report.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIs there still enough people?\u201d He asked.<\/p>\n<p>Because right now they needed to speed up the progress, the colleagues in the research and development department had been doing overtime every day.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s all good, Mr Joseph is thinking\u2026\u201d The person in charge did not dare to guess what Joseph meant.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSeveral of the students from Ocean University will be on holiday soon, which means during the holiday period we can ask for them to come here more often. This new drug will be finished by next year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI understand.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>All the way until the evening Kathy had been inside the laboratory, and she was now alone.<\/p>\n<p>It was already eight o clock.<\/p>\n<p>After she had finished packing her things she was about to open the door and leave.<\/p>\n<p>When she was walking she saw a tall figure appear, Joseph was pushing the door open.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy froze, and stared at him without blinking.<\/p>\n<p>At this time\u2026 why was he here?<\/p>\n<p>Without thinking, Kathy held the door closed causing Joseph to be blocked outside.<\/p>\n<p>He frowned and his expression turned sombre.<\/p>\n<p>After his long fingers unlocked the door easily, he then strode inside.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy\u2019s face was turning pale.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMr Joseph, do you need something?\u201d Kathy was trying to keep her voice as calm as possible.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes.\u201d Joseph\u2019s handsome face looked calm, his eyes fixated on Kathy.<\/p>\n<p>She started to feel very uncomfortable with his gaze\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1079","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1079","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=1079"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
