She was about to lose consciousness, and only Joseph remained in her sight.<\/p>\n<p>She was right in front of Joseph.<\/p>\n<p>When she lowered her head, she kissed Joseph again and tried to pull off his shirt.<\/p>\n<p>John turned around, understandingly.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph didn&#8217;t give her the chance to do that, he picked her up and ran to the car.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Tell Stanley to come over.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In the apartment.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph put Kathy on the bed, and she kept tugging at him and craned her legs while her eyes wandered as she bit her lip.<\/p>\n<p>For Joseph, it was a deadly invitation.<\/p>\n<p>Stanley Barker had already come over and saw Kathy. He immediately went over to diagnose her pulse.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A mixture of enigma and stimulant, but there should be other ingredients. I&#8217;ll try one kind of medicine first.&#8221; Stanley said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Well, I can&#8217;t identify this drug, it&#8217;s not listed in the market,&#8221; Joseph said in a deep voice.<\/p>\n<p>Stanley was a member of the Pharmaceutical Testing Section and also a member of the Institute of Medical Research, and has an excellent relationship with Joseph.<\/p>\n<p>After withdrawing Kathy&#8217;s blood for testing, he immediately went back to the hospital to get medicine.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph frowned at the sight of Kathy&#8217;s distress.<\/p>\n<p>He took out his medical kit and injected Kathy with hypnotic, and soon after, she gradually closed her eyes.<\/p>\n<p>However, her body was still very sensitive, and Joseph held her in his arms and pressed her against him.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Mrs Joseph, you&#8217;ll be fine.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Until dawn, Joseph didn&#8217;t close his eye for a bit, and Kathy had left tons of mark on his chest. All this was just to let Kathy feel slightly better.<\/p>\n<p>Stanley quickly came over because the lab results were out.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the previously diagnosed enigmatic and hypnotic drugs, there was also a new type of alcohol that had extremely strong side effects. The alcohol would remain in the patient&#8217;s system for a long time if there were no drug dilution, which was a huge concern.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph coldly squinted, and his hand was shaking slightly.<\/p>\n<p>Zack Booth was truly ruthless.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Dr Joseph, the antidote must be found immediately, or else Miss Kathy&#8217;s body may not be able to withstand the alcohol, which is extremely toxic.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Is there no other way?&#8221; Joseph closed his eyes.<\/p>\n<p>He shouldn&#8217;t have let her know all this.<\/p>\n<p>He shouldn&#8217;t have let her go back to the Booth family.<\/p>\n<p>For the first time in many years, he felt such regret.<\/p>\n<p>It would be dangerous just to let her go.<\/p>\n<p>Then, just keep her close by.<\/p>\n<p>The coldness in his eyes spread, and he held Kathy cold body in his arms. In an hour, she would wake up.<\/p>\n<p>The drug was still in her system, and she would feel even worse than before.<\/p>\n<p>Stanley shook his head, &#8220;Is it the Booth Group&#8217;s drug? I remember the Booth Group developed an alcohol five years ago, but it wasn&#8217;t released and I&#8217;m afraid it was in private circulation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Yes, it&#8217;s the Booth Group&#8217;s drug,&#8221; Joseph said in a deep voice.<\/p>\n<p>Looking at Kathy, Joseph got more and more emotional. He gripped and unclenched his palm and held her tightly.<\/p>\n<p>Mrs Kathy&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>\u2026<\/p>\n<p>At the Booth Family&#8217;s place, Zack was furious when he heard Joseph took Kathy away.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Why didn&#8217;t you stop them!&#8221; Zack looked at Bertie Marshall and was enraged at the sight of him.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Grandpa, I couldn&#8217;t stop her. Kathy was so dependent on Joseph that she wouldn&#8217;t let me get close to her.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Have you gone soft?&#8221; Zack squinted.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Yes.&#8221; Bertie did not deny.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Dad, you shouldn&#8217;t force Bertie further, we all know Kathy really loves Joseph.&#8221;  Jennifer Booth persuaded.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If you hadn&#8217;t done something wrong back then, would I be doing this now?&#8221; When Zack looked at Jennifer, he became even angrier.<\/p>\n<p>What did the Booth family take her for?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Kathy, you have to know that I&#8217;m doing this for your own good. I have searched you for a very long time now, Bertie is who I chose that is most suitable for you. As for you and Joseph, he knew your identity long ago and used you.&#8221; Zack said loudly.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So tell me, Grandpa, why is Joseph trying to use me?&#8221; Kathy asked in a calm voice.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph&#8217;s face remained unchanged. He could clearly feel Kathy&#8217;s panic and fear.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph&#8217;s arm around her waist gradually tightened.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy&#8217;s face was pale, she didn&#8217;t know much about matters related to business, but she knew the huge profits hidden there.<\/p>\n<p>Subconsciously, Kathy looked at Joseph.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Mr Zack, Kathy&#8217;s body cannot withstand the drug anymore, so bring out the divorce documents. Please give the antidote immediately when we finish signing them.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Joseph did not respond to Zack&#8217;s statement, his attention was focused on Kathy.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy was really upset.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Joseph, I don&#8217;t agree to the divorce.&#8221; Kathy was against him.<\/p>\n<p>She didn&#8217;t want to be threatened in this way. She didn&#8217;t believe that the Booth family could really be so indifferent to her.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I want to divorce you, Miss Kathy.&#8221; Joseph&#8217;s tone was indifferent.<\/p>\n<p>Miss Kathy&#8230;what an alienating address&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Kathy smiled bitterly. She knew Joseph was doing it to save her.<\/p>\n<p>However, she didn&#8217;t want to&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>She didn&#8217;t want a divorce at all, and didn&#8217;t want to go along with the Booth family&#8217;s wishes!<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Grandpa, I will not divorce.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Kathy, sign the agreement, come back to the Booth family, break off your relationship with Joseph. Listen to my words.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;No, I was never related to the Booth family in the first place, not before, and even less now!&#8221; Kathy coldly said.<\/p>\n<p>Everyone here made her feel absolute despair.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-962","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/962","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=962"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
