My Sweetheart novel Chapter 584

They had stayed awake until almost dawn. Lying in Joseph's arm, Kathy murmured, "I thought you won't be back for another dozen of days."

"I've missed you." It was just a few simple words, but it triggered some sparks in Kathy's head.

She held him tight, turning up the corner of her mouth.

"Then what about your work there?"

"Cancelled."

"You're so whimsical."

"Yeah, I am," Joseph said seriously.

Kathy couldn't help but gently punch his chest, "You don't have to."

"Kathy, I'm already back."

Joseph lifted her chin and kissed her passionately. She closed her eyes and went in for his gentleness....

...

They woke up in the noon. Kathy opened her eyes and saw the man next to her. The fatigue on his face was obvious.

Arriving only yesterday in the middle of the night, he must have no time for a break at all.

She blinked, and kissed him on the lips.

It was just a gentle kiss, and she was going to pull back very soon.

But Joseph suddenly got hold of her head and intensified the kiss.

"You're awake," said Kathy.

"Yeah. Are you hungry?" he asked softly.

"Starving ... but it's a little late now. Are you going to the hospital?"

"Not today."

"Ella will probably not be ok with that, will she?" Kathy blurted out.

When they were in the hospital, Ella lost her temper even if Joseph had just been gone for one day.

Not to mention Joseph had been on a business trip for several days.

"Don't worry about her," Joseph said airily.

Kathy smiled at his calm face, "She is your patient, and you never told her the truth. I feel a little sorry for her."

Although Ella looked mean and tough on the outside, she was probably just concealing her vulnerability.

"Is that so?" Joseph frowned. He hadn't thought of that.

"Forget it. You really don't care about her at all," Kathy didn't mean to point that out.

Just as she was rising to her feet, Joseph caught her in his arms again, "If I care about her, will you dump me?" he asked.

Kathy paused and then pouted, "She is your patient. And you take care of her as a doctor. I am better than that."

"For real?" Joseph raised his eyebrows.

Kathy pursed her lips and remained silent.

Actually, she would be jealous.

In the afternoon, Kathy went to the hospital with Joseph. He was the director of the neurology department, and his absence due to the business trip left many things unattended.

They were busy until night. Joseph did not visit Ella. She should have been discharged from the hospital long ago.

Ella rushed over when she learned that Joseph was back.

"Mr Joseph, good to see you again."

"You can be discharged anytime now. When are you leaving?" asked Joseph directly.

Ella was brought up short. She looked at Joseph in silence with one hand on her head.

"I'm not leaving the hospital," she said coldly.

"I will talk to Mrs Bridges," said Joseph without any mercy.

"My mother told you to take care of me."

"Ella...." Joseph's face turned colder.

At once, Ella was intimidated.

"I'm tired. I'm going back to sleep."
