“Joseph’s Group… oh, these few models are all new drugs from the Joseph’s Group? Just this morning our professor was telling about how amazing these models of drugs are…” Zofia exclaimed.
She didn’t know these models of drugs were developed by the Joseph’s Group.
“Hospitals were now fighting over these drugs, and most of the pharmacies were out of stock,” Zofia continued.
Kathy frowned. She knew these models of drugs well since she was in the R&D team with Joseph.
These were the drugs Joseph started to develop five years ago. Now they caused such a sensation when they finally hit the market.
“Were these drugs really that amazing?” she asked.
“Of course. These drugs were widely praised since it was Joseph who led the development team. Furthermore, these models were tested overseas and received great feedback, that’s why everyone is fighting over them as soon as they hit the domestic market,” Zofia analyzed and explained.
“You used to work for the Joseph’s Group, right? Don’t you know about these drugs?” Zofia looked at Kathy.
“I did work in the development team under Joseph, but I didn’t get to know too much inside news.” Kathy shook her head. She wasn’t one of the main developers in the team back then.
“Oh man, I should’ve bought some Joseph’s Group stocks. I would’ve been earning hand over fist now.” Zofia sighed.
Kathy smiled. “Miss Marshall doesn’t seem to me like someone who’s short of money.”
“Bullshit. I paid for all my college fees since I don’t want to keep rely on my family. The Marshall family is nowhere near how wealthy it used to be, we almost went bankrupt a few years ago. We would have made it through if it wasn’t for the Booth family’s help,” Zofia said.
It was the toughest time for the Marshall family, and it was Bertie Marshall who carried the fate of the whole family on his shoulders.
“Everything’s okay now.” Kathy consoled her.
Even though it hadn’t been long she associated with Zofia, Kathy got the picture of what kind a person she was.
She was cordial and friendly instead of being cocky like what most people would expect from a girl coming from a rich family.
“Yeah, I hope I can help share my brother’s burden soon. He is the one who has been supporting me that I can study medicine now,” Zofia replied.
Suddenly, Zofia’s phone rang. It was Veronica.
“What? You’re in Ocean University? Why didn’t you tell me you’re coming?” Zofia.
“I’m just here to settle some stuff. Want to hang out?” Veronica.
“Sure. Where are you?” Zofia.
“Right in front of your dorm.” Veronica.
Zofia frowned, looking at Kathy.
She heard a knock at the door.
“Veronica is here,” hanging up the phone, Zofia said to Kathy.
Kathy was expressionless.
Zofia opened the door with a fidget heart. As expected, Veronica’s face darkened a little when she saw Kathy.
But her emotion wasn’t as strong as before anymore.
“I didn’t know you stay with Kathy.” Veronica frowned.
“The college management arranged this. Let’s go.” Zofia didn’t let Vernica go inside.
“Can I have a look inside? I’m envious cause I can’t get into college.”
With that said, Veronica rolled herself into the dorm on her wheelchair.
Zofia walked alongside her, still worried.
But Veronica was calm. She even stopped by Kathy as she went in.
“Thank you for taking care of me back then when I was hospitalized,” she said.
Kathy turned around, looked into her sincere gaze and replied, “It was my duty.”
When they left the dorm, Zofia was still in a daze.
She thought Veronica would definitely be mad, but she didn’t.
“Zofia, why didn’t you tell me you’re staying with Kathy?” Veronica sounded displeased.
“I feel it wasn’t necessary…” Zofia.
“You thought I would rant at you like a psycho?” Veronica.
“Of course not!” Zofia shook her head.
“Don’t worry. She is now divorced with my brother, and I don’t really hate her that much,” Veronica said lightly.
