But now, the control was passed from the Joseph\u2019s Group to University F, and the person in charge was confirmed to be Reece.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKathy, you\u2019re already in this project, so I won\u2019t pick any other students. You\u2019ll be working with Reece, alright?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>From what Professor Zane said, she had obviously reached a decision, there was no room for Kathy to refuse.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ll follow what is arranged by you, Professor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Professor Zane did not know the entanglement between Kathy and Reece. Reece was her favourite student, and Kathy\u2019s grades were exceptional. For the two to take part in this project together, it was the best to her.<\/p>\n<p>But Kathy was quite annoyed once she thought that she would be facing Reece every day. Would Joseph be jealous?<\/p>\n<p>There were no lessons the next morning, so Kathy planned to return to Joseph Bay and have a good talk with Joseph about this matter.<\/p>\n<p>Yet when she just reached Joseph Bay, she received a call from Joseph that there was an unscheduled surgery tonight and he had to stay at the hospital.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy could only stay there herself and return to the school tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>At this moment, at the Central Hospital.<\/p>\n<p>The woman who was just sent in by the ambulance was in her fifties, the preliminary judgement was that she had encephalitis. Joseph happened to be there so he took in this patient.<\/p>\n<p>But when he saw the woman\u2019s face, then only he knew that it was Mrs Marshall.<\/p>\n<p>Zofia came accompanying her and her face was very pale.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJoseph, you must save my mother\u2026 her entire body is twitching and she is vomiting a lot\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Zofia was so anxious that her words were not complete.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlright, be rest assured.\u201d Joseph was always brief in words, as he said so, he entered the surgical room quickly.<\/p>\n<p>Zofia sat in the corridor, she had already alerted her brother about this. But since he was still in Country C, it would be at least tomorrow before he was able to return.<\/p>\n<p>Until midnight, then only Mrs Marshall was moved to the normal ward.<\/p>\n<p>Zofia cried until her eyes were all red, following behind Joseph and listening to his instructions, only his handsome face was left in her eyes eventually.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen would my mother be awake?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter three hours.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou would stay back tonight, right?\u201d Zofia\u2019s eyes looked at him hopefully.<\/p>\n<p>She was so helpless, so frail.<\/p>\n<p>But Joseph\u2019s gaze was still cold and indifferent.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere will be the doctor on duty.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut\u2026 besides you being here, I don\u2019t trust the other doctors.\u201d Zofia pulled on Joseph\u2019s sleeve adamantly.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph frowned, looking at Mrs Marshall analytical report, and he did not speak for a while.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ll stay,\u201d he said deeply after a while.<\/p>\n<p>He owed Mrs Marshall a favour, and he would only be reassured by himself.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can\u2019t thank you more, Joseph!\u201d Zofia smiled, and her eyes sparkled.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph was expressionless, he returned to his office and analysed Mrs Marshall\u2019s condition.<\/p>\n<p>Mrs Marshall did not wake up until the following day, and at this moment Bertie came over as well.<\/p>\n<p>The Marshall Group had not been doing well recently, and he could not afford to give too much time. This time he accompanied Mrs Marshall hurriedly for a while and he had to return to Country C.<\/p>\n<p>He came to Joseph\u2019s office, \u201cDr Joseph, is my mother\u2019s condition critical?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes, her encephalitis is severe. For now it seems that there is a concurrent infection and it\u2019s quite complicated.\u201d Joseph did not tell Zofia about this as he was afraid she would not be able to take the news.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019ll be able to heal her, right?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have experience in this aspect, but as to whether she could be healed, besides me it also depends on the body condition of the patient herself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThank you, please don\u2019t tell Zofia about this first.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlright, she doesn\u2019t know.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Leaving the office, Bertie\u2019s footsteps were heavy. He had not a close relationship with his mother when he was young, and had grew up in the Booth family since he was young. He only returned to his mother\u2019s side when he was about to become an adult.<\/p>\n<p>But in fact, he treasured this relationship a lot.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cReece,\u201d he smiled coldly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThen allow he to do so.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf there\u2019s any opposition, the Joseph\u2019s Group can suggest.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo need.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Not long after, Joseph left the office. Quinn sat on the leather couch and broke out in cold sweat.<\/p>\n<p>He dialled Reece\u2019s phone, \u201cI have done what you told me to do, can I see Veronica now?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSure,\u201d Reece turned the camera quickly.<\/p>\n<p>Veronica was in an apartment, there was a lot of delicacies before her but she did not take even one bite.<\/p>\n<p>Until she saw Quinn\u2019s face on the screen.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cQuinn\u2026\u201d Veronica still seemed lifeless.<\/p>\n<p>She was trapped here for about a week and was unable to contact the outside world. She was about to go crazy from boredom.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cVeronica, you\u2019ll be able to get out quickly, trust me,\u201d Quinn said seriously.<\/p>\n<p>Veronica pursed her lips, looking at the bodyguards around her, she knew that she was kidnapped.<\/p>\n<p>Looking at it now, the person being threatened was Quinn.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t worry about me, they won\u2019t dare to lay a hand on me,\u201d Veronica said coldly.<\/p>\n<p>Quinn clenched his fists tightly, as the coldness in his eyes spread.<\/p>\n<p>After he hung up the video, he switched to voice call, \u201cReece, what do I do for you to release her!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWait for me to tell you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Saying so, the call was cut off by Reece quickly.<\/p>\n<p>Quinn threw the phone away in anger, clenching onto his hair. His furious look now shocked the assistant who was getting ready to report.<\/p>\n<p>At outside, Joseph got onto the car. John turned and reported, \u201cMr Joseph, there\u2019s already news about Ms Veronica.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1211","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1211","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=1211"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
