Occasionally, he would go over to the branch to deal with official business, but mostly staying in the hotel with Kathy.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy, however, was worried, &#8220;So, you&#8217;re not opening a clinic in the hospital anymore?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Not certain, the Ocean University accepted grandfather&#8217;s terms, they will not let me go easily to perform my duties.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Grandfather is forcing you to go back.&#8221; Kathy said bitterly.<\/p>\n<p>She thought it&#8217;s not good to stay in Country B all the time.<\/p>\n<p>There were things that had to be faced.<\/p>\n<p>But she didn&#8217;t know what Joseph was thinking, and subconsciously, she trusted him.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You want to go back? Hmm?&#8221; Joseph came over and took Kathy into his arms, and on the spacious sofa, the two were intimate.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy didn&#8217;t say anything.<\/p>\n<p>Of course she wanted to go back to City N. It was the place where she grew up. It was the first time, she had been away from City N for so long.<\/p>\n<p>In this unfamiliar place, although accompanied by Joseph, Kathy still didn&#8217;t feel like she belonged there.<\/p>\n<p>It was not her home.<\/p>\n<p>Her friends, her home, and her school were in City N.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Joseph, I\u2019ll listen to you, if the school really can&#8217;t restore my academic degree, I&#8217;ve thought it over in the past few days, I won&#8217;t give up on medical school. Worst case scenario, I&#8217;ll take the post-graduate entrance exam again.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The school has already made arrangements, so you can go back next week.&#8221; Joseph said.<\/p>\n<p>After hearing that, Kathy&#8217;s eyes brightened up and she looked at Joseph without blinking.<\/p>\n<p>She wondered what Joseph had just said was really true.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph pursed his thin lips, &#8220;You did not agree to the transfer, the school simply does not have the right to unilaterally transfer you to another school. The university in Country B did not accept your school registration, you can go back and continue your classes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Joseph, it must be you who is helping me again.&#8221; Kathy murmured.<\/p>\n<p>Otherwise, how could the school that had already agreed to give her a transfer easily let her go back.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I really can&#8217;t think of a reason not to help you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Joseph, I don&#8217;t even know how to repay you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If it weren&#8217;t for me, you wouldn&#8217;t have been taken away by grandpa and wouldn&#8217;t have been expelled from school. Kathy, it&#8217;s me who should be blamed.&#8221; Joseph hugged her tightly, and the all his remorse was gone.<\/p>\n<p>He anticipated that his grandfather would make a move, but the power of the Mathew was not given to him in full.<\/p>\n<p>It was easy for Joseph to control certain things.<\/p>\n<p>However, during this period of time, some of the Mathew&#8217;s power had already been acquired by him, and it was almost time to go back to City N.<\/p>\n<p>There was a knock at the door, and Kathy walked over and looked out. She did not know who it was.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s a woman.&#8221; Kathy turned her head to look at Joseph.<\/p>\n<p>It was reasonable that no one would know Joseph&#8217;s whereabouts.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s a noblewoman.&#8221; Kathy changed her wording.<\/p>\n<p>The woman outside looked to be over fifty years old, but extremely well maintained.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph then came and saw that it was Maria, and his face suddenly turned gloomy.<\/p>\n<p>The door was opened and Maria looked at him with anxiousness, &#8220;Joseph, come back to City N with me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The moment she opened her mouth, it sounded like a command.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph had a cold expression and didn&#8217;t response.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Joseph, aren&#8217;t you a doctor? How can you not save lives, Ella only accepts you to operate on her now, go back with me&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Mrs King, I am no longer serving in the hospital, if Ella has health problems, you should find another doctor.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Only you, I know you are the best doctor in neurology, Joseph. I&#8217;m begging you Joseph, please&#8230; go back and treat my daughter&#8217;s illness.&#8221; Maria was at her wit&#8217;s end.<\/p>\n<p>He could see Kathy&#8217;s persistence.<\/p>\n<p>But selfishly, he did not want her to engage in the profession.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Yes.&#8221; Kathy nodded her head firmly.<\/p>\n<p>A large part of it was because she had been influenced by Joseph, she wanted to follow his footsteps and become as excellent a doctor as he was.<\/p>\n<p>In her heart, he had long since invariably become her idol.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I will always support you, Kathy.&#8221; Joseph said searingly.<\/p>\n<p>As long as it was what she wanted to do, what she wanted to achieve, Joseph would accompany her to achieve it one by one.<\/p>\n<p>The two departed back to City N three days later, and once they left the hotel, they found that Maria had been waiting for them.<\/p>\n<p>Maria had stayed there too, just to intercept Joseph.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Dr Joseph, will you go take a look at my daughter&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Mrs King, I&#8217;m not a doctor anymore.&#8221; Joseph declared.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;How come&#8230; aren&#8217;t you working at the Ocean University? I saw your biography.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve been removed from my position now.&#8221; Joseph&#8217;s tone was indifferent.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I can help you get reinstated!&#8221; Maria grabbed Joseph&#8217;s arm and kept it tight, &#8220;As long as you promise to go treat my daughter. As long as I, Maria King, can do it, I can promise you one thing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>After hearing that, Joseph stopped and looked at Maria coldly. She was a bit afraid of Joseph.<\/p>\n<p>The man in front of Maria was unfathomable.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Is that so?&#8221; Joseph raised his eyebrows.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Yes!&#8221; Maria&#8217;s eyes kept looking at Joseph expectantly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1165","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1165","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=1165"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
