Chapter 445
\nMy Sweetheart novel Chapter 445<\/p>\n
“How come I have a chip in my brain\u2026?”<\/p>\n
“After your car accident, Billy arranged for a doctor to operate on you. The location of the chip is hidden and not easily detected from the CT. So, I never noticed its existence,” Joseph’s tone was tinged with chagrin.<\/p>\n
If he could be more cautious.<\/p>\n
Then there would be a chance to remove the chip when she had brain surgery.<\/p>\n
Now, taking out the chip could only be delayed for a while.<\/p>\n
“Is this Billy’s trick?” Kathy muttered.<\/p>\n
“With the way things are going, yes. I went to City B to look for your surgeon at the time, but he had absconded.” Joseph’s tone became cold as ice.<\/p>\n
And it just so happened that Billy was in City B at the time, which could only mean that he managed to stay one step ahead of him.<\/p>\n
Kathy fell silent, wondering why Billy did this.<\/p>\n
Was it because he hated her?<\/p>\n
Or was he using her to threaten Joseph?<\/p>\n
She sneered, “Will I die if I don’t take the medicine?”<\/p>\n
Joseph frowned and put his hand over her mouth. “Don’t talk nonsense. As I told you, I won’t let you die!”<\/p>\n
His face clouded over and his dark eyes looked sullen.<\/p>\n
But the heartache for her in the deepest part of his eyes couldn’t be ignored.<\/p>\n
For an instant, Kathy burst into tears.<\/p>\n
“Why did Billy do this …… or, what damage will this chip do to my brain.”<\/p>\n
Kathy gradually simmered down and got a grip on herself. Now that everything had happened, she had to face it.<\/p>\n
She wanted to live.<\/p>\n
“Kathy,” Joseph turned to her, looking at her with keen and sparkling eyes.<\/p>\n
“What if I say I don’t know?”<\/p>\n
That’s why he did everything he could to find that surgeon, otherwise even if she had taken medication to control it now, he couldn’t rest assured.<\/p>\n
As long as the chip was in Kathy’s brain, it would always be a bomb.<\/p>\n
Kathy’s grip on Joseph’s shirt tightened, but then she slowly loosened it.<\/p>\n
“I’m wondering if Billy is trying to use me to threaten you, so you’ll drop the charges against him.” Kathy suddenly said.<\/p>\n
Joseph pursed his lip and didn’t deny it.<\/p>\n
Billy had contacted him and asked him to visit him, but he ignored him.<\/p>\n
So he contacted Jennifer, and this matter was relayed to him by Jennifer.<\/p>\n
In the end, however, he personally sent Billy to jail, where he was bound to be tortured as well.<\/p>\n
“So did you reject him?” Kathy said in a low voice.<\/p>\n
“Kathy, do you think I’m risking your safety? You think I should drop the charges against Billy and let him remove the chip for you, but he’s not a doctor!” Joseph’s tone was bitingly cold.<\/p>\n
There was a moment of distrust of him in Kathy’s words just now.<\/p>\n
Kathy panicked, Joseph was apparently flying into a rage.<\/p>\n
She… just blurted it out.<\/p>\n
Her mind was so messed up right now that she had no idea what she was talking about.<\/p>\n
Her only thought was that she must live.<\/p>\n
“I’m sorry.” After a while, Joseph clasped her to his bosom, said in a husky and muffled voice.<\/p>\n
These three words contained too much of his emotions.<\/p>\n
Kathy looked down and wiped away her tears. Looking at Joseph’s taut jawline, she was momentarily speechless.<\/p>\n
His words just now were still lingering in her ears.<\/p>\n
Indeed, Billy wasn’t a doctor and he arranged for someone else to operate on her, thus the crux was that they had to find the surgeon.<\/p>\n
“I’m the one who should apologize, I got too emotional.” Kathy sat up straight, withdrawing her hand from Joseph’s large palm.<\/p>\n
However, instead of letting go of her hand, Joseph pulled her gently, and Kathy was once again held firmly in his arms.<\/p>\n
His chin rested on the top of her head while his palm gently cradled her back.<\/p>\n
“I won’t let anything happen to you,” he assured her.<\/p>\n
“I’m fine. That’s what happens when people get old.” Mathew wasn’t in a good mood.<\/p>\n
Kathy gave Joseph a glance and thought there was something strange about Grandpa and Joseph.<\/p>\n
Mathew sat in the main seat while Joseph and Kathy took the seats beside him.<\/p>\n
The dishes were cooked lightly in order to accommodate Mathew’s taste. Kathy took the initiative to help Mathew with the dishes, but her slightly red eyes were discovered by Mathew.<\/p>\n
“Kathy, did Joseph bully you?” Mathew’s gaze landed sharply on Joseph, being angry and discontented.<\/p>\n
“Grandpa, he didn’t.” Kathy looked down, shaking her head.<\/p>\n
“You can complain to me all you want, but this bastard is not obeying me lately. An old man like me is becoming less and less important.” Mathew lamented.<\/p>\n
Kathy did a double take at the words, and now she was sure that Joseph must have a falling-out with Grandpa.<\/p>\n
Joseph didn’t say anything, kept eating his meal indifferently.<\/p>\n
Kathy could only brace herself to say, “Grandpa, Joseph didn’t bully me. We’re fine now.”<\/p>\n
“Oh? You two got remarried?” Mathew finally looked better.<\/p>\n
“Grandpa, we’ll tell you when we’re remarried,” Joseph, however, said coldly.<\/p>\n
“Humph, I don’t want to talk to you!” Mathew said, somewhat childishly.<\/p>\n
Kathy couldn’t help laughing, but she received an icy stare from Joseph.<\/p>\n
Sure enough, Joseph didn’t say much afterward, but he helped Kathy with her food and thoughtfully picked up her favorite dish for her.<\/p>\n
Kathy’s mood gradually improved.<\/p>\n
At night, Mathew retained Kathy to spend the night at Joseph’s residence, but Kathy was planning to go back to the Booth Mansion, and she could hardly refuse Mathew’s hospitality.<\/p>\n
“Send my future granddaughter-in-law home safely, or don’t come back to see me.”<\/p>\n
Mathew compromised and instructed Joseph, waving his hand in disappointment.<\/p>\n
Kathy promised, “Grandpa, I’ll see you again when I have time.”<\/p>\n
Leaving Joseph’s residence, Joseph had his hands in his pockets. His face was cold and he radiated an aura that made it impossible for strangers to approach him.<\/p>\n
Kathy couldn’t help asking, “What happened to you and Grandpa?”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1111","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1111","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=1111"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
