It\u2019s just that I don\u2019t plan to hold on to the president\u2019s position for too long.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When Quinn finally cemented his position as the executive president in the near future, Joseph planned to transfer all of his power to him.<\/p>\n<p>At that moment, Matthew finally understood Joseph\u2019s plan.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cQuinn is still not part of the Joseph family yet!\u201d Matthew howled angrily.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGrandpa, his marriage with Veronica is as good as done. He is already part of the Joseph family, like it or not.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Matthew still had a grumpy expression on his face. From his point of view, there couldn\u2019t be another person sitting atop the Joseph\u2019s Group other than Joseph himself.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou plan to throw away every ounce of power you are enjoying now, am I wrong?\u201d Matthew\u2019s gaze slowly seeped with disappointment.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph pursed his lips, and his dark gaze slowly narrowed, \u201cI have promised you that I will take over the Joseph\u2019s Group, and now I have honoured that promise. Grandpa, everything regarding the Joseph\u2019s Group is not your concern anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Joseph\u2019s voice was icy cold.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat if I tell you that I will never agree to your decisions! I won\u2019t agree to Quinn assuming your position! The only one who can sit on that chair is you alone!\u201d Matthew knocked his walking stick on the ground hard while he sounded uncompromising.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph didn\u2019t even flinch, \u201cGrandpa, if you regret handing over the Joseph\u2019s Group to me, I will cease to participate in all of your operations from now on.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After saying that, he left without even looking back.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, Matthew\u2019s rage boiled over. He knew very well of Joseph\u2019s stubbornness, but in all of the Joseph family, only he was capable enough to take over the Joseph\u2019s Group!<\/p>\n<p>However, Joseph never set his heart on this place at all!<\/p>\n<p>How could Matthew not be angered?<\/p>\n<p>If Joseph handed over the president\u2019s position to Quinn, he would only remain a director, and his job was only to attend important meetings in the company. The real operation of the Joseph\u2019s Group would be completely controlled by Quinn.<\/p>\n<p>Matthew had to try his best to calm himself down, and his mind was replaying Joseph\u2019s determined words non-stop.<\/p>\n<p>This rascal dared to threaten him!<\/p>\n<p>He only had himself to blame for raising such a grandson!<\/p>\n<p>Joseph was a man of his words, and in the coming week, he never came to the Joseph\u2019s Group anymore, and he didn\u2019t care about the matters of the company anymore. Besides tending to some patients on Monday as usual, all he ever did was accompanying Kathy at the Joseph\u2019s Bay. Sometimes, he would cook some nutritious food for her to revitalize her health.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy looked at the man by her side and wondered about Joseph\u2019s newfound leisure time\u2026 She had a hard to getting used to his continued presence.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWouldn\u2019t Mr Matthew be angry with you for not going to work at the Joseph\u2019s Group?\u201d Kathy asked worriedly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe is.\u201d Joseph answered without any expression.<\/p>\n<p>Veronica had called him multiple times and let him be known that his grandpa had been jumping up and down with fury.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThen, you\u2026\u201d Kathy was knitting her brows as if in a dilemma.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI need grandpa to stop overseeing the Joseph\u2019s Group. If he can\u2019t do that, it would be best in his interest if he had never handed over the Joseph\u2019s Group to me in the first place.\u201d Joseph\u2019s tone was as calm as a millpond.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy knew that, but she wasn\u2019t too interested to meet with Ella.<\/p>\n<p>As if seeing through her thoughts, Joseph stopped persuading her.<\/p>\n<p>After planting a kiss on her forehead, he said gently, \u201cWait for me to come home tonight and I will make dinner for you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlright, I will go buy the raw food first.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Half an hour later, Joseph arrived at the hospital. Ella had been vomiting to a very serious extend, and Joseph instructed for the nurses to give her some injection before taking her blood sample. He could only wait for the outcome.<\/p>\n<p>Ella was in immense discomfort and her face was deathly pale.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDr Joseph, can you stay here and accompany me\u2026\u201d Ella stared at Joseph with a longing in her eyes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI will be here for a few hours. What have you eaten in the past two days?\u201d Joseph asked patiently.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have\u2026 eaten some beef.\u201d Ella\u2019s voice became tinier at this point.<\/p>\n<p>She recalled Joseph reminder about the food she had to avoid at all cost, but when she went out to take a stroll, she saw someone eating beef skewers. It enticed her appetite which prompted her to ask for her brother to buy her some of that so that she could satisfy her cravings.<\/p>\n<p>She wouldn\u2019t predict her current outcome full of discomfort.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph\u2019s expression darkened, \u201cYou are getting a taste of your own medicine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ella pursed her lips with indignation, \u201cYes, you are right about that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She knew very well that Joseph would never fancy her, yet she couldn\u2019t control her feelings towards him. She was just inflicting more pain on herself.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph frowned with a certain resignation, and after prescribing some medicine, Ella\u2019s condition finally stabilized. He then returned to his office.<\/p>\n<p>There were some presents scattered on his sofa, and with a deadpan face, a nurse came in and explained, \u201cDr Joseph, these are all given by your fans. Your fans were too insistent, nobody were able to stop them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It was forbidden for anyone to receive gifts in the hospital, yet his fans exhausted all means just to make sure their presents appeared at the entrance. They didn\u2019t state any name on the gifts, so the staff could only handle those presents like this.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnwrap them, categorize them and donate them to the orphanage.\u201d Joseph instructed the nurse.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRoger.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1175","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1175","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=1175"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
