Late at night, Joseph finished reading the medical records and rubbed his eyebrows when he sat back with exhaustion.
Kathy's gentle and pretty look was haunting his every moment.
Kathy had classes tomorrow. So she should be at University F now.
Joseph snatched up his car key and soon drove over.
The car stopped at the dormitory, but he did not get off. The light on the fifth floor was off. Kathy might have fallen asleep or she just didn't come back yet.
At this moment, his phone rang. It was a message from Ella.
He didn't check it and just put the phone aside. Thus, he sat there till the day broke.
It was not until early in the morning that Kathy went back. When she arrived at the laboratory, Joseph had already been there in a white coat.
She lowered her eyes and quietly walked over.
There were many students in this class, and the lab was lively.
It was inevitable for Kathy to see Joseph. As she listened to his lecture, she couldn't help but lose focus.
Only when her classmate pushed her did she regain her senses. She looked up and met Joseph's sharp eyes.
Kathy bit her lips in embarrassment.
"Kathy, stay by my side." Joseph stated without hesitation.
She nodded and walked over. Now, she had no choice but to concentrate.
When Joseph reached over, Kathy subconsciously gave way but happened to knock solution down.
"Sorry...!" She hurried to squat down, but someone was more agile and stopped her.
"Don't move." Joseph ordered and then asked another student to clean up.
Kathy had mixed feelings.
During the next half of the class, Kathy didn't distract anymore. But whenever Joseph approached, she would quickly give way.
And she was even the first to leave after class.
Though she was eager to see Joseph, she felt extremely bad when she did.
Agitated, she tapped knuckles on her head as she headed for the dining hall. But when she raised her head, she bumped into a familiar embrace.
"Joseph!" She glared at him with a hint of anger.
But he just replied in a cold tone, "Feel bad, right?"
Feel bad....
What did he mean...?
She kept her face void of emotion and ignored him.
However, Joseph grabbed her wrist before she could leave.
"We're now on campus. Professor Joseph, behave yourself!" Kathy was even more annoyed.
It was at noon, and there were many students coming and going. What was worse, they were standing in the middle of the road.
"Behave myself? Kathy, I'm asking if you feel bad!" His voice went deeper.
And Kathy could actually tell his pain.
She must have heard him wrong. How could Joseph be painful?
She put on a faint smile, "Why will I feel bad?"
She struggled to pull her hand back, but she was too weak to make it.
Joseph's eyes turned darker as he observed her struggle.
"But I feel bad." With that, Joseph turned around.
What Kathy could see was only his cold receding figure.
She was dumbfounded as a lump came to her throat.
Of course ... she felt bad, too.
She quickly ran after him. However, she paused as a student passed by in front of her. When she looked up again, Joseph had disappeared.
She sniffed and sighed. At this moment, she had lost her appetite and just went back to the dormitory. In the afternoon, despite of her reluctance, she had to go to Boston Hospital to intern with Joseph.
Kathy was a little drowsy during the afternoon.
