My Sweetheart novel Chapter 445

"How come I have a chip in my brain…?"

"After your car accident, Billy arranged for a doctor to operate on you. The location of the chip is hidden and not easily detected from the CT. So, I never noticed its existence," Joseph's tone was tinged with chagrin.

If he could be more cautious.

Then there would be a chance to remove the chip when she had brain surgery.

Now, taking out the chip could only be delayed for a while.

"Is this Billy's trick?" Kathy muttered.

"With the way things are going, yes. I went to City B to look for your surgeon at the time, but he had absconded." Joseph's tone became cold as ice.

And it just so happened that Billy was in City B at the time, which could only mean that he managed to stay one step ahead of him.

Kathy fell silent, wondering why Billy did this.

Was it because he hated her?

Or was he using her to threaten Joseph?

She sneered, "Will I die if I don't take the medicine?"

Joseph frowned and put his hand over her mouth. "Don't talk nonsense. As I told you, I won't let you die!"

His face clouded over and his dark eyes looked sullen.

But the heartache for her in the deepest part of his eyes couldn't be ignored.

For an instant, Kathy burst into tears.

"Why did Billy do this ...... or, what damage will this chip do to my brain."

Kathy gradually simmered down and got a grip on herself. Now that everything had happened, she had to face it.

She wanted to live.

"Kathy," Joseph turned to her, looking at her with keen and sparkling eyes.

"What if I say I don't know?"

That's why he did everything he could to find that surgeon, otherwise even if she had taken medication to control it now, he couldn't rest assured.

As long as the chip was in Kathy's brain, it would always be a bomb.

Kathy's grip on Joseph's shirt tightened, but then she slowly loosened it.

"I'm wondering if Billy is trying to use me to threaten you, so you'll drop the charges against him." Kathy suddenly said.

Joseph pursed his lip and didn't deny it.

Billy had contacted him and asked him to visit him, but he ignored him.

So he contacted Jennifer, and this matter was relayed to him by Jennifer.

In the end, however, he personally sent Billy to jail, where he was bound to be tortured as well.

"So did you reject him?" Kathy said in a low voice.

"Kathy, do you think I'm risking your safety? You think I should drop the charges against Billy and let him remove the chip for you, but he's not a doctor!" Joseph's tone was bitingly cold.

There was a moment of distrust of him in Kathy's words just now.

Kathy panicked, Joseph was apparently flying into a rage.

She... just blurted it out.

Her mind was so messed up right now that she had no idea what she was talking about.

Her only thought was that she must live.

"I'm sorry." After a while, Joseph clasped her to his bosom, said in a husky and muffled voice.

These three words contained too much of his emotions.

Kathy looked down and wiped away her tears. Looking at Joseph's taut jawline, she was momentarily speechless.

His words just now were still lingering in her ears.

Indeed, Billy wasn't a doctor and he arranged for someone else to operate on her, thus the crux was that they had to find the surgeon.

"I'm the one who should apologize, I got too emotional." Kathy sat up straight, withdrawing her hand from Joseph's large palm.

However, instead of letting go of her hand, Joseph pulled her gently, and Kathy was once again held firmly in his arms.

His chin rested on the top of her head while his palm gently cradled her back.

"I won't let anything happen to you," he assured her.
