My Sweetheart novel Chapter 264

Joseph walked out of the office. Kathy was looking at her phone beside the office.

"Why didn't you let me know when you came over?" Joseph was a little dissatisfied.

"I'm afraid of interrupting your work... just suddenly missing you a lot." Kathy took the initiative to hug him.

And not far away, John silently lowered his head, while Edith's gaze was very unpleasant.

"I'll eat with you first. I'm going to the research lab tonight, I'm afraid I can't accompany you." Joseph frowned.

Plans for the research and development were imminent and couldn't be delayed.

"But you can come with me."

The lab is on the 21st floor, and Joseph had changed into a lab coat and wore a mask, but the noble and indifferent demeanour was still impossible to ignore.

Kathy has had previous exposure to drug research and development, and she could help with record keeping.

When Edith saw that Kathy was also here, she was speechless.

"Here's the previous report, so familiarize yourself with it, and don't give us any trouble later."

Kathy indifferently said, "If there is anything wrong, I'll ask for Ms Edith's help."

Joseph was already over there on the test bench, with Edith by his side, and they were both communicating in specialized terminology. However, Kathy had recently been reviewing her medical knowledge, so she understood most of it.

As time passed, Joseph was experimenting with liquids. Edith's hand suddenly trembled, and the liquids all poured onto her hand in a flash.

Joseph was anxious, "Wash your hands immediately!"

"It's so hot... "Edith was terrified. She only realized now that the glove she wore was broken. The liquid had begun to erode her skin.

Kathy immediately walked over and turned on the tap, and when she saw that Edith hadn't moved, she grabbed her hand.

"Ah! Get away from me!" Edith screamed and was about to retract her hand as she glared at her.

"This liquid must be cleaned and rinsed with an alkaline liquid mixture, Edith!" Kathy said seriously.

Edith paused and quietly touched Kathy's elbow with her hand that was drenched in the liquid, then continued to pretend to struggle.

Joseph was annoyed. He prepared the alkaline solution, and when he saw that Edith was resisting, his hand reached over and clasped her wrist, saying in a warm voice, "Bear with it."

After he said that, Edith's hand was rinsed with an alkaline liquid by Joseph.

Due to the pain, Edith's face gradually turned pale and only later did she slowly get used to it. Finally, it was not so burning, and her complexion returned to normal.

But her other hand was always tightly gripping Joseph's lab coat.

She subconsciously leaned into Joseph's arms, "so painful..."

Her voice was coquettish and provocative.

Kathy frowned as she watched Edith's actions, the displeasure in her eyes surfaced.

Joseph washed her hands before letting her go, but Edith gripped him tightly and wouldn't let go.

"You're not in good shape today. I'll have Conor Nicholson come pick you up." Joseph got irritated and pushed her hand away mercilessly.

Edith was confused. She usually never made these mistakes, but today, she was distracted.

It was because Kathy was here too.

"Sorry, I'll reflect on it.”

Kathy helped clean up the equipment, but Joseph stopped her, "I'll do it later."

"I'm not that squeamish," Kathy said coldly.

Thinking about Edith's panicked appearance just now was not the reaction that someone who had been in the lab for a long time should have.

She was purely trying to rely on Joseph.

Kathy felt uneasy.

She quickly left the lab.
