Soon the meeting was over. Young employees came out and walked toward the cafeteria in twos and threes.
Joseph was about to leave when he saw Jaydon. He asked, "You going to dinner?"
"No. I'm not hungry." Jaydon rolled up his sleeves, kind of half-listened. "You wanna see Kathy?"
"Yes." Jaydon didn't try to hide it.
"She took the first flight to Country F. Maybe she has boarded now." Joseph said slowly.
Jaydon sighed, "Alright."
After a while, he asked casually, "Are you very familiar with Kathy?"
He remembered that his mother had told him something about Kathy. She studied in City N and came to F Country three years ago.
And Joseph had been in City N.
"Yes." Joseph said.
Jaydon replied. Then Joseph flicked the ashes and said softly, "Are you gonna get engaged?"
"Yes. If Kathy agrees. And perhaps we will get married." The smile spread wider as he said this.
Joseph noticed it.
It was early spring when the long journey finally came to an end and Kathy came back to Country F. The weather was warm and willow had emerged from soil.
Kathy narrowed her eyes and looked out of the window.
"Ms Kathy, how is Europe?" The driver was in the passenger seat. He was responsible for picking Kathy up when she didn't drive.
"Great."
"A return ticket must be difficult to book. I heard that the airport over there was crowded."
Kathy was surprised. She smiled faintly, "Perhaps I was lucky."
Soon they arrived at the entrance of the hospital. Kathy walked into the hospital. Karl had called her when she got off the plane. He said the operation was a success, but her mother couldn't overwork after that.
Karl was leaving when Kathy came to the door of the ward. Seeing Kathy, he sighed and said, "You're here. It's good."
It was out of everyone's expectation that something would happen to Jennifer while Kathy was in Europe.
Seeing all the tubes on Jennifer, Kathy couldn't help but cry.
Jennifer was lying on the bed, with her eyes closed.
Kathy stood at the side, staring at her mother's beautiful face. For her, Jennifer was a noble woman. She should not have been like this.
"Mom, I'm back."
She grasped her mother's hand and said in a shaking voice.
Jennifer's eyes slowly opened, and she forced out a smile. "Kathy, did you have a good time?" She said in a hoarse voice.
Kathy nodded vigorously, "Mom, I won't leave Country F again."
Jennifer smiled and said, "Silly girl. It has been for years. Your father is here. Don't worry."
Kathy cried even louder. It was true that she and Jennifer weren't close, but Kathy was touched by Jennifer, who had made up the love she missed in the past three years when they were together.
For Kathy, Angela was her mother, but Jennifer was important too.
"Kathy, Jennifer is in her recovery. She couldn't take it if you cry."
Kathy hurriedly wiped her tears. Just as she was about to say something, the nurse came in.
"Are you her family? You'd better leave for a moment. She has an examination today."
