My Sweetheart
Chapter 230 Prepare for the Worst

It was night now, but Joseph still didn't come back.

Kathy received a phone call from Angela. Today's headlines were all about NCHV Medical Company, so Angela inevitably saw it as well.

Besides, the news concerned Peter. Angela was even more worried.

"Kathy, do something happen to NCHV Medical Company?"

"Yes." Kathy frowned.

For now, NCHV Medical Company was under investigation. The employees were notified of company's decision that they can be on leave now.

The situation NCHV Medical Company faced now was even worse than last year when it was once on the verge of bankruptcy.

Kathy couldn't help but feel a little guilty as she thought of the Lincoln's angry face in the morning.

Perhaps, to revenge Kathy, Peter took advantage his mother's death to fight with NCHV Medical Company.

"Does it mean that you are out of work?"

"Mom, don't worry. I plan to pursue my postgraduate study, so I am prepared to resign."

"Well, you've worked there for five years. It's good to have such a sound job. Haven't you given up the idea of postgraduate study? Why would you have that thought again? Take it easy, I would ask someone's favor to give you a job..." Angela said worriedly. Kathy frowned. Her mother's thoughts were not unfamiliar to her. The job in NCHV Medical Company had little room for promotion in her eyes, but its merit was sound and riskless. Angela was satisfied with fact that Kathy could have this kind of work guarantee. In Angela's view, Kathy's plan of postgraduate study at the cost of job was unrealistic.

Moreover, Kathy was already married. As Kathy had her family, she should set her family as the focus of her life.

"Mom, I've already decided and I won't plan to have a new job now." Her gentle tone carried a note of toughness.

Kathy rarely retorted Angela. In the past years, she always complied with Angela, but on the matter of her postgraduate study, her decision was unchangeable.

"No, you shall come back immediately. Does Dr. Joseph agree to this? You still do not consider having a baby this year. How old are you?"

Kathy was annoyed and quickly hung up the phone.

To have a children... was something not on her agenda.

Joseph didn't return until midnight. Kathy comforted herself with words that everything was fine, but she couldn't help but call him.

When Joseph saw Kathy's call, it was an hour later. The meeting he had held just ended, but there were still a lot of things to be done.

Kathy's phone was placed beside her ear, so she heard the call as soon as the phone buzzed. She pressed the answer button, but she was not awake from her sleep. "Mrs. Joseph." Joseph's deep voice rang out.

"Oh."

"You may sleep. I'll come back to accompany you later."

"How long do I have to wait?" Kathy opened her eyes. The room was completely dark. She felt lonely because Joseph was not around.

"You take a nap and I'll be back."

"Really?"

Kathy was very sleepy, but she had Joseph in her mind. She was half awake now.

"Yes."

After heard Joseph's words, Kathy was at ease. She then slid into sleep again. Her phone slipped from her hand, but she didn't hang up the phone.

Joseph listened to the gentle and faint sleep breath coming from his phone, and then his thin lips curled up slightly.

At this moment, Lincoln knocked on the door and entered.

"The results from the hospital are out. The drugs Sammy Champs took before she died are indeed three types of pills we had developed. We have to await further results for more days."

"I'm afraid NCHV Medical Company can't wait any longer." Lincoln's expression was gloomy.

"Have you checked the specific evidence provided by Peter?"

"I have already sent someone to retrieve the medical records and prescription records. They are all about Sammy before she died. However, there is also a medical report that has been temporarily detained. I can't check it."

"Go and investigate these three types of pills in market now. The fake pills under our company's name, abound in market, shall be weeded out altogether."

"I see. However, NCHV Medical Company's share price has slumped to the bottom. Our company's reputation also had been harmed. Though, I had taken measures to filter out the criticism on the internet, yet, I'm afraid, our fame can't be restored." "Hand over the evidence about Peter to the police. Let him be detained at least." Joseph's voice was extremely cold.

"Of course I won't let him go, but he must have the support of Hilton Group."

"Recently, the Joseph family began to take actions." Joseph frowned.

"I will also keep an eye on it. I don't want to see the NCHV Medical Company going to waste."

Joseph was indifferent. The icy coldness in his eyes almost freeze people to death.

"Johnson will arrive tomorrow. He said that he will deal with this mess by himself." Lincoln said.

As soon as Lincoln finished speaking, the door of the office was pushed open and there emerged Johnson's tall figure.

Lincoln looked at Johnson in surprise, "Didn't you say you would arrive tomorrow?"

"I took an earlier flight."

"Johnson, no one can save NCHV Medical Company this time." Lincoln said with a deep voice.

This was not the first blow the NCHV Medical Company took, so, in Lincoln's eyes, the NCHV Medical Company was already valueless.

Johnson narrowed his eyes. He was informed of the situation when he was on the plane.

Johnson took over NCHV Medical Company for a year. Although NCHV Medical Company was basically fragile, yet it was time-honored brand and it couldn't be crushed like this. However, the problem it facing was an acid test.

Drug safety had always been a hard nut. Worse still, this matter was about one woman's death, so it was even harder for them to investigate.

Furthermore, Peter obviously planned it for a long time, so the evidence he provided seemed to be flawless.

"No one can tell. Lincoln, leave it to me."

"Buddy, let's just declare bankruptcy. I just don't get why we should purchase it..."Lincoln said disgruntledly.

"Johnson, I'll leave NCHV Medical Company to you. Lincoln, you should help Johnson." Joseph instructed.

Lincoln still didn't agree with that, "You two are experienced businessmen, why you didn't get it...

However, Joseph and Johnson seemed to have made the decision. They wouldn't give up. They would fight to the bitter end.

It was almost dawn when Joseph returned to Joseph Bay.

When he came into the room, by the light of morning sun, he saw Kathy's sound and sweet face.

Joseph's cold expression softened as his thin lips curved.

He bent down and then dropped a kiss on Kathy's lips. The kiss was gentle, but it sent a tremor to Kathy who is sensitive. She raised her hand, trying to brush it away consciously. Joseph's eyes blinked. He then grabbed onto Kathy's shoulder and acted it forcefully.

When Kathy opened her eyes, what met her eyes was a pair of lustful eyes. "You..."

Before she could let out a word, she felt a kiss again.

After a long time, Kathy almost drank in those kisses. Then Joseph let go of her.

"What time is it?" Kathy frowned.

He came back at dawn.

"I'm going to take a shower. Go on your sleep."

But as soon as he stood up, Kathy subconsciously grabbed his wrist.

She was almost awakened from her sleep now.

"Are you busy yourself with the matter of NCHV Medical Company?"

"Yes."

"Is it troublesome?"

"We should prepare for the worst." Joseph said in a deep voice.

Kathy trembled. Her eyes registered her worry now.

"What can I do?" She was an employee of NCHV Medical Company. She couldn't stand aloof as the company ran into mire.

"What you can do is to prepare for your postgraduate study?"

Kathy pursed her lips. She didn't say yes or no to it.
