My Sweetheart
Chapter 293 My Husband is Amazing

"Joseph, the Rehmannia glutinosa you mentioned is too expensive. It's not worth it to trade for these few herbs." Kathy replied coolly.

"I still think it's worth it, Mrs. Joseph. It's indispensable for treating your grandpa's health."

"But..."

"No buts. This is our gift to grandpa. This is going to show my sincerity. Do you get that?"

Kathy could only remain silent.

Although she knew fully well that Joseph was disgustingly rich, but this price tag of tens of millions of yuan had far exceeded what she could accept as something normal. However, when she thought of her grandpa's health, she supposed that she would probably do the same thing if this magical herb could really improve his health.

It was just that Joseph was by her side, and he had helped her resolve most of her problems.

Kathy stood on tiptoes as she levelled her gaze with his.

"I got it, Joseph. I know why you are being so nice to me..." Kathy looked at him with passionate eyes.

From time to time, she would begin to feel that this was all part of her imagination.

Nevertheless, the man standing in front of her could only be Joseph.

They were married for a little more than a year.

Joseph immediately glued his lips to her, and it was an intense and domineering kiss. He clasped his hands on her waist and their bodies intertwined. All his answers could be found in his kiss...

...

The next day, John sent the Rehmannia glutinosa from the Joseph's mansion to them. Joseph and Kathy once again returned to this stall.

The old man was already wrapping up the herb which was asked for by Kathy. He took the Rehmannia glutinosa in his palms and a trembling excitement was evident in his eyes. "I can't believe that I would be able to lay my eyes on this while I am still alive."

"Uncle, we will take our leave now. Thanks for the herbs." Kathy bade him farewell politely.

Kathy didn't understand the full extent of the powers of this Rehmannia glutinosa. This herb was apparently so rare and treasured that even the boss was in such an awe.

She couldn't help asking Joseph, "Do you know what purpose that herb serves? Why was it sold in limited numbers back then?"

"It is used to control the spread of cancer cells but it never got its proper sanction and affirmation from authorities. Therefore it couldn't be launched to the market publicly. However, the effects of this herb was so shocking that it shook the world at that time. The impact had caused it to become a revered item which was so rare that even one couldn't buy it with a sky-high price."

Kathy listened to him while feeling astonished. No wonder...

"Then why do you have this herb in your possession?"

"Someone gave it to me a few years back."

"So, it means that you have several rare herbs in your possession all along?" Kathy raised her eyebrows.

Joseph smiled in response, "There is a herb chamber owned by the Josephs. It is filled with all kinds of rare herbs and medicines. Let me show you that place when we go back."

"Wow! You are really a treasure collector!" Kathy exclaimed.

"Treasure collector?" Joseph squinted his brows.

"Yes, I am saying that my husband is amazing!"

Joseph's smile deepened even further, and Kathy was almost intoxicated by his smile the more she stared at his face.

His smile was always so irresistible.

In the blink of an eye, it was Sunday again. Zack's birthday party was held in the garden of the Booth mansion.

Jennifer had already set everything in order, and Kathy also came earlier to help.

"Where is Joseph?" Jennifer asked.

"He has a meeting today, so he'll be late."

"You are going back very soon. I will be sad if that happens." Jennifer sighed.

Although the Hilton family had settled down in City N, she still had to keep Jennifer company during this period of time. "Mum, I'll stop by often."

"That will be great. I am just worried about dad..." Jennifer's eyes gradually reddened.

At the mention of Zack's name, anybody would fall into a bad mood.

"I'll go visit grandpa."

Kathy ascended the stairs, and she coincidentally bumped into Bertie who had just exited grandpa's room.

"Grandpa is feeling unwell. He has just fallen asleep." Bertie furrowed her brows.

"What happened?" Kathy was about to go into his room as she asked worriedly.

Bertie halted her, "Grandpa is asleep now, so you shouldn't bother him. Let him get some rest so that he would feel more refreshed later." Kathy frowned slightly and decided not to go in for now.

She followed Bertie to help around in the garden. Due to grandpa's health, the food served were largely light in terms of their taste and texture. Jennifer had cooked these dishes personally while Kathy was helping in the kitchen.

It was evening shortly after, and seeing that Joseph was not back yet, Kathy made a call to him.

However, her calls weren't picked up after ringing for some time. There was a busy tone at the other end.

She knitted her brows worriedly as Jennifer asked with great concern, "Joseph isn't back yet?"

"I don't know the reason, and I can't get through to his phone."

"There's only half an hour until the start of the ceremony." Jennifer reminded her.

Kathy could only call John who was travelling back and forth between City N and Country B.

"The president has gone to the drug control institute today, but he should be out by now."

"It's getting late now but I still can't reach him."

"I will stop by the drug control institute later because I can't get through to him too." John frowned as he replied.

"I'll wait for your news."

Kathy suddenly felt a little restless.

Soon, grandpa descended the stairs slowly with the help of his butler, and finally a smile reappeared on Jennifer's face.

Zack sat down on the main seat around the table and all the other attendees took their seats after him.

There was an empty seat beside Kathy. Zack asked in a feeble voice, "Where is Joseph?"

"He's still working in the company." Kathy looked awkward as she answered him.

"I see. I guess he doesn't want to see me anymore." Zack commented with a low voice.

Kathy immediately consoled him, "Grandpa, of course that's not it. Joseph is rushing back as we speak. We have prepared a gift for you long time ago."

After saying that, Kathy handed the herb container to her grandfather.

"Grandpa, this porcelain container has been passed down since the era of Qing Yong. It is an antique with exceptional quality, and the herb inside it is even more precious. It will help with your health tremendously."

"My dear granddaughter, I like this porcelain container since it looks really good. However, I don't think the herb will be able to help me. I know that my time is up. After all, I know my own body the best." Zack said with emotion. "Grandpa, as long as there is even a tiny hope, I will never give up on you." Kathy replied with conviction.

The butler hurriedly summoned the family doctor since they finally had this herb. They were visibly happy at this fact.

"Mrs. Joseph, this is the precise combination of herbs that I'm looking for. I really couldn't replace them no matter how I sought."

Kathy answered with a smile, "This is all because of Joseph."

"Then I'll have to thank him for that."

"Grandpa, this is my gift to you. It is an antique as well, but it is one that was passed down from the Ming dynasty." Bertie announced while presenting a gift of her own.

Zack let out a guffaw, "I was not able to bid for this porcelain piece at the auction last time. How were you able to buy it?"

"Grandpa, I can't tell you the details for now, but as long as you're happy now that you can own it, I will be happy too." "Of course I'm happy."

The ambience at the ceremony wasn't too bustling, but all the family members presented their gifts one after another, which put the grandfather in a good mood. Kathy still didn't see any signs of Joseph after so long. Since John had gone to the Marshall Group, she lost all contact with him too.

Bertie handed her a glass of red wine as she asked Kathy with concern, "What is on your mind?"

"It has nothing to do with you." Kathy bit her lips as she replied faintly.

"It must have something to do with Joseph, right? I don't think he values grandpa's birthday at all." Bertie said coldly.

"That's not true. He's very concerned with grandpa."

"Then where is he now? The ceremony is coming to an end, and grandpa has already gone back to his room." "He..." Kathy's head drooped.

Suddenly, a weird sensation came from somewhere in her body. She furrowed her eyebrows slightly.
