"I'll take care of it," Joseph said solemnly, frowning slightly.
"I know, but this is the least I can do." Kathy looked at him sincerely.
Joseph held her face. His slender fingers stroked her eyebrows with affection.
"Kathy, thank you."
Kathy stood on tiptoe and met Joseph's eyes. She murmured, "What was going on back then?"
"I am indeed responsible for the death of Aaron's sister," Joseph said.
Kathy's eyes widened. She suddenly felt scared.
She covered Joseph's mouth subconsciously.
Joseph held her wrist and gently told her.
Five years ago, Joseph was an intern with Jax. Aaron's sister, Sabrina Fisher, was admitted to the hospital because of a brain tumor. But because of the special position of the tumor, it was not easy to perform surgery, which resulted in a disagreement. Jax suggested that they could perform surgery, but there were no clinically successful cases at that time. But if the tumor was not removed, Sabrina would not live long. But Sabrina agreed to have the surgery, but Joseph must be appointed to perform the surgery.
"Why does Sabrina ask you to have surgery?" Kathy asked suspiciously.
"She told me that she loved me. I rejected her."
Kathy was speechless.
At this moment, there was only one thought in her mind. A woman was easy to fall for this handsome man.
"Did you perform the surgery on her?" Kathy asked nervously.
"Yes." Joseph said, "Her condition is similar to yours, but she is not so lucky. The tumor has deteriorated. The surgery lasts for too long. So many things got out of control."
"But Sabrina decided to have surgery herself. She knows the risks. Why does Aaron blame it on you now?" Kathy angrily said.
"He was angry that I rejected Sabrina at the time, which affected Sabrina’s mood and caused her to be very emotional. The patient’s mentality is very important for the recovery of the illness and would also affect her decision. She demanded to ask me to perform surgery. At that time, I was not the most suitable doctor."
Kathy fell silent and didn't speak for a while, feeling a bit sad.
Joseph raised her head. "So, I am also responsible."
"It's not your fault," Kathy retorted.
Sabrina was paranoid.
The next day, this incident broke out anyway, but in addition to Aaron’s remarks, the old professor, Jax, also had an interview. He explained that the patient requested to have the surgery herself. He was Joseph’s mentor, so he supervised the entire surgery. As for the patient's death, both doctors and patients were responsible. But before the surgery was done, the patient was aware of the risks.
In addition to Jax coming out to clarify, the director of the relevant hospital also came out to criticize, questioning that Aaron's remarks were slandering others. He also made a complaint against him.
Aaron had just been promoted to the vice president of Ocean University and was also the head of the hospital. People's attention was gradually drawn to him.
As Kathy saw this news, she felt better after feeling tense the whole night.
Joseph didn't need to attend the meeting anymore. Kathy was called to go to the meeting hall by Benedict, so she left after confirming that Joseph was in good mood.
As for Kathy, Joseph was acting so calmly after such a big incident.
Benedict naturally knew what happened yesterday. Of course, he was angry about it.
"Aaron is irrational. He can't let go of things back then and even slander people everywhere." Joseph had always been a doctor whom Benedict admired very much, so he also knew Joseph's character well.
Now Aaron slandered Joseph in public. Benedict was also one of the people who couldn't help but speak up.
"Benedict, thank you for trusting Dr. Joseph," Kathy said gratefully.
"Of course I believe in Joseph. He is the one I have been watching him grow and the student I value most."
...
At this time, in the hotel, Joseph stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. The warm light shone, but he still looked so cold.
John's voice sounded nervous, "Sir, your mother's grave has been dug."
In the next second, Joseph's deep eyes looked rather gloomy. The cigarette between his fingertips was crushed by him.
