Chapter 282
\nMy Sweetheart novel Chapter 282<\/p>\n
Kathy\u2019s face turned red, \u201cI\u2019m not moving out. I\u2019ll be away for just three months, it will go by very quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMrs. Joseph, I don\u2019t want to be apart from you, not even for a day,\u201d said Joseph in an aggressive tone.<\/p>\n
\u201cThen what should I do\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m at your home already.\u201d<\/p>\n
Joseph arrived at the entrance of the Booth\u2019s mansion in his car.<\/p>\n
Kathy walked out to the balcony and saw a black car parked in front of the entrance.<\/p>\n
She changed and walked out of the room, Bertie coincidentally did the same.<\/p>\n
He smiled when he saw Kathy, \u201cCan\u2019t sleep?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s none of your business.\u201d Kathy\u2019s face darkened.<\/p>\n
\u201cI can chat with you a bit if you can\u2019t sleep.\u201d Bertie ignored what Kathy said.<\/p>\n
Kathy rolled her eyes and ignored him.<\/p>\n
She went downstairs and saw that Joseph had already invited himself into the living room.<\/p>\n
Bertie smiled menacingly when he saw Joseph.<\/p>\n
\u201cHello, Mr. Joseph.\u201d<\/p>\n
Joseph ignored him, his gaze was locked onto Kathy.<\/p>\n
He held her hand and hugged her tightly.<\/p>\n
\u201cWere you waiting?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI couldn\u2019t sleep anyway,\u201d said Kathy honestly.<\/p>\n
\u201cI see that Mrs. Joseph needs me by her side.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kathy pulled Joseph\u2019s hand when Joseph was about to go upstairs.<\/p>\n
Her grandfather and her mother were probably resting right now, Joseph should only be able to see them the next morning.<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you staying the night?\u201d asked Kathy nervously.<\/p>\n
\u201cEither that or you leave with me,\u201d said Joseph as he squinted his eyes.<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, it\u2019s better if you stay the night then.\u201d<\/p>\n
They turned around and was going to head to the room, but Bertie halted them in their tracks.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is the Booth family, Mr. Joseph can\u2019t stay the night without permission.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Marshall, who do you think you are?\u201d The expression in Joseph\u2019s eyes was threatening.<\/p>\n
Bertie frowned, who did he think he is? Although he was close to Zack, he was still a guest in the Booth family.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think you have forgotten the fact that I\u2019m Kathy\u2019s husband, Mr. Marshall. I am the son-in-law of the Booth family, are you sure that you want to stop me from spending the night?\u201d said Joseph coldly.<\/p>\n
Even Kathy could feel the anger in his icy glare, she was petrified.<\/p>\n
\u201cBertie, don\u2019t be such a busybody.\u201d Kathy was also furious.<\/p>\n
Bertie smiled cunningly and moved out of the way voluntarily, \u201cMr. Joseph, my room is opposite of Kathy\u2019s. I hope that you guys won\u2019t make too much noise so that I can get my beauty sleep.\u201d<\/p>\n
He then went upstairs.<\/p>\n
Joseph\u2019s face darkened, \u201cOpposite?\u201d<\/p>\n
Kathy looked down, she didn\u2019t dare to say anything.<\/p>\n
Clearly, it was arranged this way on purpose.<\/p>\n
There were many other guest rooms at the Booth family.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou are hiding a lot of stuff from me, Mrs. Joseph.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI wasn\u2019t hiding it. There\u2019s nothing between me and Bertie, it\u2019s none of my concern where his room is,\u201d said Kathy loud and clear.<\/p>\n
She didn\u2019t care one bit about Bertie and didn\u2019t think that he could cause a rift between Joseph and her.<\/p>\n
Though it seemed like Joseph didn\u2019t think like Kathy.<\/p>\n
\u201cMrs. Joseph, it concerns me. I don\u2019t like other people thinking about or getting close to my beloved, not to mention that he is obviously yearning for you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Joseph pushed her against the wall the moment they got into the room, he held up her chin and his frigid voice sent shivers down her spine.<\/p>\n
His sombre and gloomy expression frightened Kathy.<\/p>\n
Kathy stayed quiet, she knew about Bertie\u2019s feeling towards her.<\/p>\n
She was then kissed forcefully while she was distracted. Joseph\u2019s kiss was so aggressive that Kathy couldn\u2019t fight back, she could only learn to accept it.<\/p>\n
The handsome Joseph before her wasn\u2019t planning to let her escape.<\/p>\n
\u201cNgh\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
Kathy whimpered in pain, she could taste blood.<\/p>\n
Joseph should have a lot of matters to attend to at City N, so she assumed that he couldn\u2019t stay for long.<\/p>\n
But his answer surprised her.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt highly depends on Mrs. Joseph.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kathy was taken aback, \u201cI have to stay here for three months. How are you going to deal with the business at City N if you are to stay here that long as well?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cCoincidentally there are some problems at the branch company here in country B, I\u2019m here to deal with them. The business in City N will be taken care of by others for the time being.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mr. Joseph and Kathy really loved each other,\u201d said Bertie as he smiled mischievously.<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, just let me know if you need anything, Joseph. I will do my best to make you feel at home,\u201d said Jennifer.<\/p>\n
\u201cThank you, Mrs. Booth.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bertie left the house not long after, Jennifer also needed to deal with something at the company. Only Kathy and Joseph remained in the dining room.<\/p>\n
\u201cDo you have anything to do today?\u201d asked Kathy.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have a meeting later, do you want to come with me?\u201d<\/p>\n
A voice came from afar when Kathy was about to answer Joseph. Zack\u2019s hoary figure moved across the room.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have something to discuss with Kathy. Please take your leave, Joseph.\u201d<\/p>\n
Joseph seemed unhappy.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll be waiting for you tonight.\u201d Kathy tried to make him let go of her hand.<\/p>\n
Kathy stared at the doctor who was here to give Zack a body check-up in his room. She helped him lie down after he took his medicines.<\/p>\n
\u201cGrandfather, what do you need to discuss with me?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI need you to take a look at this contract.\u201d The butler then handed her a document.<\/p>\n
Kathy looked at the document suspiciously, it was about a type of medication used in therapy to aid and treat Dysautonomia. It was now in the third clinical trial.<\/p>\n
Early results showed that there were some problems with the medication, the trial patients experienced side-effects and more research had to be done on the drug.<\/p>\n
\u201cGrandfather, this is..?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou see, the trial patients experienced some side-effects. There is some problem with the clinical trial, but the medication has to be put on the market in three months. I need you to look into the issue.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kathy frowned, she wasn\u2019t familiar with this type of drugs. It wouldn\u2019t be good for her to suddenly meddle in the issue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-948","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/948","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=948"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
