However, she didn&#8217;t miss out this news. University F and Joseph Group were cooperating in the research and development of several new drugs. Professor Dona took part in it.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy was only a new transfer student, so she probably wouldn&#8217;t be invited.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy did not give it much thought and turned in early after returning to Joseph Bay. She had to go back to school for the orientation tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph also started to get busy. He did not stay in Ocean University but returned to the Central Hospital where he used to work.<\/p>\n<p>The Central Hospital was affiliated to University F. Many of his fans suspected he made this decision for Kathy.<\/p>\n<p>Although the topic was hot on the Internet, Joseph wasn&#8217;t affected by public opinions. He was busy at work every day, and Kathy hadn&#8217;t seen him for half a month after she started school.<\/p>\n<p>After school on Friday, Kathy checked the time and called Joseph. Making sure he was in the hospital, she went to find him.<\/p>\n<p>The Central Hospital was undoubtedly ranked first in City N. Although it was evening, it was crowded.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy had just arrived at the neurology department when she saw a familiar figure.<\/p>\n<p>Ella was dressed as a nurse and was standing at the nurse&#8217;s desk to help the patients with the paper work.<\/p>\n<p>Noticing Kathy, she actually smiled faintly. &#8220;Hello, Ms Kathy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Joseph will probably be busy until evening. You may have to wait.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;How many patients does he have?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Twenty-eight.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Kathy frowned. It would probably take an hour or two.<\/p>\n<p>She wasn&#8217;t surprised Ella was here. Perhaps Mathew or Ella&#8217;s family was behind it.<\/p>\n<p>Ella would follow Joseph everywhere.<\/p>\n<p>As time passed, Kathy sat quietly outside his office. Gradually, this floor quieted down.<\/p>\n<p>Ella walked into Joseph&#8217;s consulting room, and he was surprised to see her.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I just started working today.&#8221; Ella&#8217;s low voice rang out.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Okay.&#8221; Joseph was expressionless.<\/p>\n<p>Checking the time, he felt Kathy should be here, and Ella said, &#8220;She&#8217;s in the corridor.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Joseph rushed out, and the consulting room was empty. Ella felt an overwhelming sense of loss.<\/p>\n<p>Sneakily following him, she saw the intimate pair in the corridor.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Joseph, have you been busy lately?&#8221; Kathy said with a fake stern face.<\/p>\n<p>Thinking about how Joseph got off work so late every day, she felt a little distressed.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve been busy but thinking about you.&#8221; Joseph smiled and held her hand.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Cut the crap! How many days haven&#8217;t we seen each other?&#8221; Kathy just loved how he smelled.<\/p>\n<p>She wasn&#8217;t used to living in the dormitory.<\/p>\n<p>Every night, she would dream of Joseph, but when she woke up, she remembered she was living in the school.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;18 days and 21 hours.&#8221; Joseph gave her a precise number.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy was dumbfounded and drummed his chest with her small fists. &#8220;I am glad you know that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Joseph held her small hand and pressed it on his left chest. Her hand could feel the steady beating of his heart.<\/p>\n<p>Gradually, it synced with her heartbeat.<\/p>\n<p>Looking up, she met his burning gaze.<\/p>\n<p>In the next second, he pushed her onto the wall impatiently and smothered her with kisses.<\/p>\n<p>She could only wrap her arms around his neck and feel him.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There are surveillance cameras!&#8221; When he let her go, Kathy couldn&#8217;t help but murmur.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;She won&#8217;t work for me. University F is sending students over. Do you want to work with me?&#8221; Joseph asked eagerly.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;No,&#8221; Kathy blurted out.<\/p>\n<p>Everyone knew they were a couple, so it would feel strange if they worked together.<\/p>\n<p>The next second, her chin was pinched, and he looked gloomy.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If you come to work, you will work as an assistant to male professors in the neurology department. I don&#8217;t want that.&#8221; Joseph looked solemn.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy frowned and hesitated.<\/p>\n<p>Professor Dona already had quite a few assistants. It seemed only Joseph was in need of assistants.<\/p>\n<p>However, she still wanted to work with her mentor.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ll ask Dona to free up a position for you.&#8221; Joseph compromised when he knew how Kathy felt about his proposal.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;No, no. I&#8217;ll wait for the school to decide! You need to stay out of this!&#8221; Kathy said righteously.<\/p>\n<p>She didn&#8217;t want to pull strings.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph&#8217;s expression dulled.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy kissed his cheek and said softly, &#8220;Joseph, I mean it. Or else I will teach you a lesson.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;How are you going to do that?&#8221; Joseph raised his eyebrows.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I will&#8230;.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Only then did Kathy realize her hand was on Joseph&#8217;s scalding chest. His robe was slightly opened by her, revealing his perfect abs.<\/p>\n<p>Just as she was about to retract her hand, Joseph pressed it down and flung himself at her.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Like this?&#8221; His hand moved upward.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Stop it! Joseph, let go of me. Enough. I&#8217;m so tired. Look, I&#8217;m crying&#8230;.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1186","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1186","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=1186"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
