My Sweetheart novel Chapter 399

“Is she okay?” Bertie asked, calling her immediately.

“I think so, but inside she must be suffering.”

“Take good care of her.”

“I will. I can’t help but think that ever since she enrolled, bad things have happened to her.”

“She should never have enrolled at Ocean University.”

“Why?”

Bertie did not reply. Some things, even he didn’t know too much about. “It’s late, get some sleep.”

He hung up on her, and Zofia, looking at her phone, felt quite frustrated. Why would he be so vague?

The next day, Kathy woke quite early. Benedict was back, and she wanted to train with him. She went to the hospital, which she still felt a bit apprehensive about. The patient who’d been infected had not yet woken. Because Aaron was not a neurologist, the patient had been passed on to Benedict.

Kathy paled, leaning against the wall for support, but it was as if the woman before her had gone mad—she wanted to shove her again. Kathy steadied herself and fended off the other woman, saying, “I’m sorry for what’s happened to this patient, but right now the incident is unclear, please calm down.”

“How can I calm down? This is all your fault, it’s your fault he was infected, it was you!” Her voice was quite loud, attracting the attention of many in the hallway. They all looked at Kathy with reproach.
