Kathy steadied herself, then wanted to push him away.
However, Joseph was so strong that she couldn't pull herself back.
"Joseph!"
"Are you jealous?" He asked in a gloomy tone, his black eyes fixed on her.
"No." Kathy blurted out.
Sure enough, Joseph's face became even gloomier.
"Alright."
Silent, he just let go of her. Then, he turned around and left.
Kathy's heart was instantly empty.
She admitted that she was jealous.
"Bastard." She cursed. She was mad at both herself and Joseph.
Returning to his office, Joseph threw away all the love letters. But he felt more agitated as he thought of Kathy's stubborn look.
He put on his coat and quickly left his office.
When he passed by Ella's ward, Ella ran out and stopped him.
"Doctor Joseph, you got off work without telling me?" Ella pouted.
Kathy was happened to be in the corridor. She was surprised at her coquetry.
"Yes." Joseph's face was cold.
Ella quickly grabbed Joseph's sleeve as she saw Kathy from the corner of her eyes.
"I'm light in the head. Help me." She leaned towards Joseph.
As a gentleman, he supported her. Of course, he could tell that she was acting, but he didn't push her away.
He helped her to the bed and immediately broke away.
"Stop acting." His voice was cold.
"You broke up with Kathy, did you?" Ella was somewhat nervous.
She had noticed that Joseph and Kathy were different. They weren't as intimate as they used to be. Recently, they were aloof with each other.
"We didn't break up." Joseph stated and quickly left.
Naturally, Kathy, who was standing out of the ward, heard him.
Turning away in embarrassment, she didn't look at him.
Two days later, Sonny was basically cured and could be discharged from the hospital.
It was a weekend, and Kathy didn't need to go to the hospital. But since Sonny called her, she went there.
"My hand isn't so flexible yet. I don't have any friends in City N, so I can only turn to you." Sonny appeared to be sorry.
"Never mind. Anyway, I'm free today." Kathy was gentle.
When they left, Joseph happened to be on his rounds.
Kathy was packing up when Joseph walked in. The ward seemed to be cramped.
She froze for a long while before continuing.
"Come back next Tuesday." Joseph reminded.
"Thank you, Professor Joseph."
Joseph gave a faint nod and left.
Sonny turned to Kathy with his eyes darkened.
Kathy sent Sonny back to school and they made an appointment to finish their group project tomorrow.
Sonny stopped Kathy when she was about to leave.
"Kathy, thank you for taking care of me. I have a little gift for you. I hope you can take it." He handed over an exquisite box.
It was handmade. A unique one.
Kathy frowned, "Sonny, you were injured because of me. You don't need to do this."
"Take it for my sake." Sonny insisted and stuffed the gift into her hand.
"It's not expensive, but I'd like to show how I sorry I am with it."
Kathy pursed her lips and gave a slow nod.
