His kiss used to be fierce and ruthless and her legs were almost unable to support her and she was going to melt in his arms.<\/p>\n<p>He hugged her tight and his lips landed on her neck gently. He then rumbled. \u201cDon\u2019t be scared.\u201d Nobody would dare publish his news without his compliance.<\/p>\n<p>Yet Kathy did not have a peace of mind. She looked around and only heaved a sigh of relief when she was assured no one was around. She thought he would not come when she did not see him the whole morning.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf I\u2019m not here, won\u2019t I miss the good show just now?\u201d Joseph raised his eyebrow lightly and aloofness flashed across his eyes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou knew that there\u2019s gonna be patient looking for trouble?\u201d Kathy glanced at him.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph kept his mouth shut and did not give her a reply and she deemed that as a yes. Anger arouse in her as that would mean Johnson knew it too. \u201cIs that arranged by Billy?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Joseph still did not give her a response. He held her and brought her out of the hotel.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy had a bellyful of doubts. The journalists were all waiting for the information at the hospital and if it was confirmed that the MT medicine did cause abnormalities in the patient\u2019s body, the medicine would have to be retracted from the market.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph on the other hand was still calm and was driving the car towards the hospital. Kathy remembered that she was still his lab report recording personnel when she first came, and three months had passed with a blink of an eye.<\/p>\n<p>Many journalists had gathered at the entrance of the hospital. As Joseph had just driven the car to the side door and was about to get down the car, he received a call from Johnson.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe betrayer in the hospital has been captured, yet the report can\u2019t be done today.\u201d Johnson spoke with a low voice. During a moment like this, letting the journalists wait for even one more minute would make them impatient enough to write false news. Joseph squinted and replied. \u201cI\u2019ll be right there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGo back to the Joseph Bay first, I might not return tonight.\u201d Joseph stopped Kathy when she wanted to get out of the car too. \u201cI can\u2019t. What do you want to do?\u201d She held him. She was in a state of unease and it was impossible to let her return by herself.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe expert for drug evaluation has been bribed. I have to stand up to this myself.\u201d Joseph replied concisely.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIs there anything I can help?\u201d Kathy still did not remove her hand and she was determined to stay.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph frowned and finally nodded. Both of them went to the chemical laboratory and the patients\u2019 checkup had all been completed. Joseph wore a white coat and mask and walked into the lab with a straight face while Kathy was watching his back. She could not remove her gaze away from him as he was too charming at this moment. No matter how chaotic the situation was, he had the ability to appease others with his sole presence.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy did not enter the lab but went to the ward instead. Johnson was standing outside and the end of the corridor was piled up with cigarette butts.<\/p>\n<p>The patients and the respective family\u2019s anxiety had been staved off and the journalists were unable to enter. Kathy peered at the crowds outside and browsed the news. She was only relieved when she did not see any news that was detrimental towards NCHV Medical Company. She checked the phone call history and noticed Alexia had yet to call her back. She gazed at Johnson who was a distance away and started towards him.<\/p>\n<p>MT medicine was back to sales that night and although many sales alternatives had canceled their contract due to the fake drug canard, the medicine\u2019s sales still climbed today. The share price of NCHV Medical Company which was once affected had also rose back and the panicky that surged through the company was only then alleviated.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph\u2019s path was blocked by Jade who was coming towards him when he took off his white coat and was about to leave.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI didn\u2019t expect to see Joseph here.\u201d Jade smiled. She was promoted to head nurse when Joseph resigned and although Joseph was no longer around in the hospital, he was still famous and everyone admired him whenever talking about him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAre you still adapting well to the position of the head nurse?\u201d Joseph asked with a mild attitude. Jade had followed him as a nurse for several years and he had arranged everything for her future before he resigned.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes, I am. It\u2019s just that I feel uncertain when I\u2019m not that busy anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTake some time out for yourself. Career is not everything.\u201d He left upon finishing his words.<\/p>\n<p>Jade watched his back and her eyes were gradually filled with admiration, yet she was out of ideas on ways to approach him again. \u201c Joseph !\u201d She called him and asked, \u201cHave you given up becoming a doctor?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Joseph paused and his eyebrows wrinkled. \u201cNo comment.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-854","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/854","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=854"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
