Chapter 230
\nMy Sweetheart novel Chapter 230<\/p>\n
It was night now, but Joseph still didn\u2019t come back.<\/p>\n
Kathy received a phone call from Angela. Today\u2019s headlines were all about NCHV Medical Company, so Angela inevitably saw it as well.<\/p>\n
Besides, the news concerned Peter. Angela was even more worried.<\/p>\n
\u201cKathy, do something happen to NCHV Medical Company?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d Kathy frowned.<\/p>\n
For now, NCHV Medical Company was under investigation. The employees were notified of company\u2019s decision that they can be on leave now.<\/p>\n
The situation NCHV Medical Company faced now was even worse than last year when it was once on the verge of bankruptcy.<\/p>\n
Kathy couldn\u2019t help but feel a little guilty as she thought of the Lincoln\u2019s angry face in the morning.<\/p>\n
Perhaps, to revenge Kathy, Peter took advantage his mother\u2019s death to fight with NCHV Medical Company.<\/p>\n
\u201cDoes it mean that you are out of work?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMom, don\u2019t worry. I plan to pursue my postgraduate study, so I am prepared to resign.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, you\u2019ve worked there for five years. It\u2019s good to have such a sound job. Haven\u2019t you given up the idea of postgraduate study? Why would you have that thought again? Take it easy, I would ask someone\u2019s favor to give you a job\u2026\u201d Angela said worriedly.<\/p>\n
Kathy frowned. Her mother\u2019s thoughts were not unfamiliar to her. The job in NCHV Medical Company had little room for promotion in her eyes, but its merit was sound and riskless. Angela was satisfied with fact that Kathy could have this kind of work guarantee.<\/p>\n
In Angela\u2019s view, Kathy\u2019s plan of postgraduate study at the cost of job was unrealistic.<\/p>\n
Moreover, Kathy was already married. As Kathy had her family, she should set her family as the focus of her life.<\/p>\n
\u201cMom, I\u2019ve already decided and I won\u2019t plan to have a new job now.\u201d Her gentle tone carried a note of toughness.<\/p>\n
Kathy rarely retorted Angela. In the past years, she always complied with Angela, but on the matter of her postgraduate study, her decision was unchangeable.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, you shall come back immediately. Does Dr. Joseph agree to this? You still do not consider having a baby this year. How old are you?\u201d<\/p>\n
Kathy was annoyed and quickly hung up the phone.<\/p>\n
To have a children \u2026 was something not on her agenda.<\/p>\n
Joseph didn\u2019t return until midnight. Kathy comforted herself with words that everything was fine, but she couldn\u2019t help but call him.<\/p>\n
When Joseph saw Kathy\u2019s call, it was an hour later. The meeting he had held just ended, but there were still a lot of things to be done.<\/p>\n
Kathy\u2019s phone was placed beside her ear, so she heard the call as soon as the phone buzzed. She pressed the answer button, but she was not awake from her sleep.<\/p>\n
\u201cMrs. Joseph.\u201d Joseph\u2019s deep voice rang out.<\/p>\n
\u201cOh.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou may sleep. I\u2019ll come back to accompany you later.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHow long do I have to wait?\u201d Kathy opened her eyes. The room was completely dark. She felt lonely because Joseph was not around.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou take a nap and I\u2019ll be back.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cReally?\u201d<\/p>\n
Kathy was very sleepy, but she had Joseph in her mind. She was half awake now.<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
After heard Joseph\u2019s words, Kathy was at ease. She then slid into sleep again. Her phone slipped from her hand, but she didn\u2019t hang up the phone.<\/p>\n
Joseph listened to the gentle and faint sleep breath coming from his phone, and then his thin lips curled up slightly.<\/p>\n
At this moment, Lincoln knocked on the door and entered.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe results from the hospital are out. The drugs Sammy Champs took before she died are indeed three types of pills we had developed. We have to await further results for more days.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m afraid NCHV Medical Company can\u2019t wait any longer.\u201d Lincoln\u2019s expression was gloomy.<\/p>\n
\u201cHave you checked the specific evidence provided by Peter?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI have already sent someone to retrieve the medical records and prescription records. They are all about Sammy before she died. However, there is also a medical report that has been temporarily detained. I can\u2019t check it.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cGo and investigate these three types of pills in market now. The fake pills under our company\u2019s name, abound in market, shall be weeded out altogether.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI see. However, NCHV Medical Company\u2019s share price has slumped to the bottom. Our company\u2019s reputation also had been harmed. Though, I had taken measures to filter out the criticism on the internet, yet, I\u2019m afraid, our fame can\u2019t be restored.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHand over the evidence about Peter to the police. Let him be detained at least.\u201d Joseph\u2019s voice was extremely cold.<\/p>\n
Joseph\u2019s cold expression softened as his thin lips curved.<\/p>\n
He bent down and then dropped a kiss on Kathy\u2019s lips. The kiss was gentle, but it sent a tremor to Kathy who is sensitive. She raised her hand, trying to brush it away consciously.<\/p>\n
Joseph\u2019s eyes blinked. He then grabbed onto Kathy\u2019s shoulder and acted it forcefully.<\/p>\n
When Kathy opened her eyes, what met her eyes was a pair of lustful eyes.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou \u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
Before she could let out a word, she felt a kiss again.<\/p>\n
After a long time, Kathy almost drank in those kisses. Then Joseph let go of her.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat time is it?\u201d Kathy frowned.<\/p>\n
He came back at dawn.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m going to take a shower. Go on your sleep.\u201d<\/p>\n
But as soon as he stood up, Kathy subconsciously grabbed his wrist.<\/p>\n
She was almost awakened from her sleep now.<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you busy yourself with the matter of NCHV Medical Company?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIs it troublesome?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe should prepare for the worst.\u201d Joseph said in a deep voice.<\/p>\n
Kathy trembled. Her eyes registered her worry now.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat can I do?\u201d She was an employee of NCHV Medical Company. She couldn\u2019t stand aloof as the company ran into mire.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat you can do is to prepare for your postgraduate study?\u201d<\/p>\n
Kathy pursed her lips. She didn\u2019t say yes or no to it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-896","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/896","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=896"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
