My Sweetheart novel Chapter 369

“What, are you planning to let Julian send you back?” Joseph asked coldly.

Kathy was terrified at the sound of his voice.

She wanted to retrieve her hand from Joseph’s grip, but that only caused the grip to become stronger.

She frowned as she came to a halt.

“I was waiting for a taxi just now.” She began to explain.

Suddenly, she recalled a trivial detail. She turned around and looked at that black car which was disappearing into the distance.

She had seen this exact same car before. It was the car that Herbert had gotten into as reported by the media.

At that time, she thought that this car belonged to Joseph. In hindsight, was the owner Julian all along?

“Don’t ever have anything to do with Julian.” Joseph narrowed his eyes and his face was very gloomy at that moment.

His intimidating aura successfully clammed Kathy up. However, she could see that Joseph’s face was much mellower compared to before. At least, she was sure now that Joseph had never sided with Herbert all along.

“I don’t have anything to do with him at all.” She explained.

“Stay with me.” After saying that, he motioned for Kathy to enter his car.

Kathy froze momentarily when she heard that.

She couldn’t really comprehend the meaning behind his words nor did she get into his car.

“Mrs. Joseph.” A familiar voice sounded by her ears, and Kathy felt her body slightly jerk.

She looked up and met Joseph’s deep gaze and in the next instant, his burning kiss immediately consumed her.

She was almost breathless after being caught off guard.

While she wriggled around in his embrace, she felt her body slowly losing its strength. She was lying limply in his embrace and could only support her own weight by clinging to him.

“You’ve… you’ve gone too far.” Kathy scolded him.

Joseph already carried her into his car as she said that. He helped her buckle up.

Kathy was very tired at that moment since she had experience five hours of surgery while being in a focused state. She would fall asleep at any minute.

“Have a good rest.” His long fingers glided over her brows and his tone was very gentle.

Kathy was trying to keep her eyes wide open but she couldn’t resist the comfortable ambience enveloping her. She finally gave herself up to the dream world.

The next time she opened her eyes, sunlight had dyed the sky a blinding white.

So it really happens…

She looked sideways but found no signs of Joseph. In fact, she was in her… hostel?

Kathy looked around her, trying to figure out what was going on.

At that moment, she heard some noise coming from the door. Zofia came over with an ambiguous smile on her face as she asked, “Tsk tsk tsk, I thought you were with Joseph the whole night?”

Kathy was speechless when she heard that.

“Did Joseph send me back here?”

“He carried you back here.”

Zofia even emphasized the fact that she was carried into her room and onto her bed.

Kathy was once again speechless.

She tugged at her messy hair while getting off the bed.

“The surgery that I have participated in ended too late, that’s why he had to send me back…”

“I know that. You don’t need to explain about anything, I understand what happened very well.”

Based on Zofia’s tone, Kathy knew that she had an entirely different image in her mind…

She didn’t know how to make things clear either…

However, why didn’t Joseph wake her up in the first place?

She checked the time and saw that it was approaching noon.

She immediately washed herself up and departed to the laboratory. It was a Saturday today, and she had to join in the research and development session of the Joseph’s group…

However, when she arrived at the laboratory, there was not a single person there. Kathy froze for a moment and verified that the door was indeed locked.

What was going on?

She took out her phone, wanting to ask her lab mates about this, and this was when she realized that everyone had received the notification since yesterday night that because of a shortage of personnel, the development of LD Drug, the drug that they were developing were put on hold.

Due to her prolonged surgery last night, she had missed out on this notification.

Furthermore, she had to return to the hospital to take care of the aftermath.

…

In the Joseph family.

Seeing that Quinn was approaching her, Veronica immediately had a hideous expression on her face.

She wanted to shut the door before he could come in but she was too late.

A tall figure loomed over her, and Veronica cast him a stare.

“Why are you here?”

“Veronica, don’t shut me out. Let me accompany you.”
