After she had dinner at the cafeteria, Kathy received a call from Professor Zane.
The research and development project for the new medicine between University F and the Joseph’s Group was restored. But now, the control was passed from the Joseph’s Group to University F, and the person in charge was confirmed to be Reece.
“Kathy, you’re already in this project, so I won’t pick any other students. You’ll be working with Reece, alright?”
From what Professor Zane said, she had obviously reached a decision, there was no room for Kathy to refuse.
“I’ll follow what is arranged by you, Professor.”
Professor Zane did not know the entanglement between Kathy and Reece. Reece was her favourite student, and Kathy’s grades were exceptional. For the two to take part in this project together, it was the best to her.
But Kathy was quite annoyed once she thought that she would be facing Reece every day. Would Joseph be jealous?
There were no lessons the next morning, so Kathy planned to return to Joseph Bay and have a good talk with Joseph about this matter.
Yet when she just reached Joseph Bay, she received a call from Joseph that there was an unscheduled surgery tonight and he had to stay at the hospital.
Kathy could only stay there herself and return to the school tomorrow.
At this moment, at the Central Hospital.
The woman who was just sent in by the ambulance was in her fifties, the preliminary judgement was that she had encephalitis. Joseph happened to be there so he took in this patient.
But when he saw the woman’s face, then only he knew that it was Mrs Marshall.
Zofia came accompanying her and her face was very pale.
“Joseph, you must save my mother… her entire body is twitching and she is vomiting a lot…”
Zofia was so anxious that her words were not complete.
“Alright, be rest assured.” Joseph was always brief in words, as he said so, he entered the surgical room quickly.
Zofia sat in the corridor, she had already alerted her brother about this. But since he was still in Country C, it would be at least tomorrow before he was able to return.
Until midnight, then only Mrs Marshall was moved to the normal ward.
Zofia cried until her eyes were all red, following behind Joseph and listening to his instructions, only his handsome face was left in her eyes eventually.
“When would my mother be awake?”
“After three hours.”
“You would stay back tonight, right?” Zofia’s eyes looked at him hopefully.
She was so helpless, so frail.
But Joseph’s gaze was still cold and indifferent.
“There will be the doctor on duty.”
“But… besides you being here, I don’t trust the other doctors.” Zofia pulled on Joseph’s sleeve adamantly.
Joseph frowned, looking at Mrs Marshall analytical report, and he did not speak for a while.
“I’ll stay,” he said deeply after a while.
He owed Mrs Marshall a favour, and he would only be reassured by himself.
“I can’t thank you more, Joseph!” Zofia smiled, and her eyes sparkled.
Joseph was expressionless, he returned to his office and analysed Mrs Marshall’s condition.
Mrs Marshall did not wake up until the following day, and at this moment Bertie came over as well.
The Marshall Group had not been doing well recently, and he could not afford to give too much time. This time he accompanied Mrs Marshall hurriedly for a while and he had to return to Country C.
He came to Joseph’s office, “Dr Joseph, is my mother’s condition critical?”
“Yes, her encephalitis is severe. For now it seems that there is a concurrent infection and it’s quite complicated.” Joseph did not tell Zofia about this as he was afraid she would not be able to take the news.
“You’ll be able to heal her, right?”
“I have experience in this aspect, but as to whether she could be healed, besides me it also depends on the body condition of the patient herself.”
“Thank you, please don’t tell Zofia about this first.”
“Alright, she doesn’t know.”
Leaving the office, Bertie’s footsteps were heavy. He had not a close relationship with his mother when he was young, and had grew up in the Booth family since he was young. He only returned to his mother’s side when he was about to become an adult.
But in fact, he treasured this relationship a lot.
