My Sweetheart
Chapter 389 She Belonged Only to Him

Joseph's deep brow wrinkled slightly. But in an instant, the corners of her mouth gradually curled up.

Getting into his car, he went to the hospital instead of going back to Joseph Bay.

Looking at all of Kathy's reports and X-rays, he spent almost every night thinking about surgical options.

But each of these options was highly dangerous.

In the latter part of the night, only nicotine could make him feel less afraid.

***

The next morning, Kathy was about to go to the Joseph's Group when she was informed. As the end of the semester approached, all Ocean University students were suspended from drug development. The disappointment on Kathy's face was obvious.

She wouldn't see Joseph again.

Tapping on her phone, she saw his message: Remember to eat breakfast.

Five simple words, but it was heartwarming, and a smile spread across her face.

Zofia looked at her in confusion.

"Kathy, you're creeping me out with that smile."

The truth was that she hadn't seen Kathy smile in all the time she had known her.

"Yeah, well, I'm not smiling." Kathy grimaced deliberately.

Zofia came over to her bed. Naturally, she saw Kathy's phone screen right away.

"What man sent this to you?"

"Joseph."

"What's going on with you two? I remember that last night he gave you a tutorial. Did something happen between you?" Zofia said deliberately and ambiguously.

Kathy was embarrassed. The image of her kissing Joseph involuntarily came to her mind. Her cheeks were getting redder and redder...

"How there is any things..."

"That must something happen!"

"No."

"Are you guys together?"

"Maybe..." Kathy frowned.

She couldn't really guess at Joseph's attitude last night.

"What do you mean? Isn't that kind of thing clear?"

"I didn't promise to remarry him. But we held hands last night."

The feeling was unfamiliar, yet it touched her heart.

"You guys are so innocent!" Zofia exclaimed.

"Or what?" Kathy asked innocently.

Actually, she liked it better this way, to begin with.

It wasn't because of a marriage that they had to get close.

Rather, it was just because she wanted to.

...

On Saturday, Kathy came to the hospital. Recently, Benedict had been in the hospital, and Kathy was interning with him.

By the time she finished documenting the surgical progress of the patients, it was almost evening.

During this time, Joseph tutored her every day.

Kathy, however, rushed to another hospital first.

She made an appointment with a brain surgeon for a thorough examination before returning to Ocean University Hospital.

Not far away, Joseph's car was parked outside.

Kathy frowned at the man getting out of the car. How did he get here?

"Back to Joseph Bay tonight, huh?" He took her hand in his and warmed it up.

Before Kathy could regain consciousness, Joseph had already brought her to the car.

It was already winter, and it was cold outside, but the temperature inside the car was just right.

"Aren't you at school?" Kathy asked in a daze.

"You don't have class tomorrow, so you'll rest there tonight. I can give you a tutorial tomorrow, too," Joseph said softly. "Whatever you say," Kathy smiled.

Her bright smile fell into his eyes. Joseph narrowed his eyes and lifted her chin to kiss her passionately. Kathy took him in her arms and raised her neck.

Everything about her made him swoon.

Joseph had just driven back to Joseph Bay but received a call from Veronica. Mathew fainted at home.

Kathy watched in confusion as Joseph turned the car around.

"What's wrong?"

"Grandpa fainted at home."

"Then I'll go back to school by myself."

"Come back with me." Joseph's tone was commanding.

Kathy bit her lip. Looking at Joseph's tense face, she took his hand, "Grandpa will be fine."

The sedan sped along, and in less than half an hour, they were back at the Joseph family's old mansion.

Veronica was in the living room. When she saw Joseph come back, she immediately pushed her wheelchair over to him.

At the same time, she also saw Kathy, who was behind her brother.

"Grandpa is in his room, and he won't go to the hospital. So I've called the doctor." Veronica was panicking.

Grandpa was always in good health. Why had he suddenly fainted? She was worried.

"Well, I'll go see."

Joseph responded and went up to the room.

Kathy was outside and Veronica's gaze fell to her.

"What are you doing here?"

"Joseph has been tutoring me lately," Kathy said quietly.

"Well, he's just as nice to you." Veronica was used to it.

The doctor had diagnosed Mathew with a stroke, and it was best for him to go to the hospital. The doctor had prescribed medication and Mathew was under observation.

It took an hour for Mathew to wake up.

At this moment, Kathy and Veronica came in.

"What's going on... me..." Mathew frowned.

"Grandpa, you're not feeling well. Lie down first." Joseph furrowed.

"Grandpa, you've had a stroke. You need to rest." Veronica's face didn't look good either.

"Hey, I'm getting old..." Mathew knew about his health condition.

When you get old, you have more problems.

"Kathy, you're here too." Mathew had a smile on his face when he saw Kathy.

"Grandpa." Kathy volunteered to go over.

"Don't worry. I'm in good health. Don't all of you look so glum."

Kathy chatted with Mathew for a while before she left.

Joseph stood in the doorway and looked at Kathy with a spoiled look in his eyes, "It's been a tough day."

"Grandpa is usually very good to me. I don't want anything to happen to him either."

"I'll take him in for a checkup tomorrow. Can you arrange that for me?" Joseph asked.

"Well, I'll contact the hospital. I'll be going home then."

"I'll drive you back."

Kathy didn't refuse. After all, even if she had refused, Joseph's attitude was just as strong.

"For the next two days, you may have to suspend your tuition." Joseph frowned.

"That's okay. It's still a while before the exams."

"Kathy, thank you."

This was the first time Kathy had heard this from Joseph's mouth.

She looked at him unexpectedly, "You thanked me for what."

"For being willing to come back to me." Joseph's voice was low.

But Kathy heard it.

Her heart shuddered. Right now, she wanted to cry.

She was the one who should thank him for being there for her in her last days.

Kathy held Joseph's hand tightly in hers.

The limousine stopped at the bottom of the dormitory building. They were both very sad.

However, the thought of seeing Joseph tomorrow made Kathy feel less lost.

Joseph did not get into the car until Kathy's back was out of his sight.

He was still back at the hospital, going over the cases, and thinking about the surgical options.

Kathy came over to the hospital early the next day. Now that she was interning here, it was easy for her to schedule a physical exam for Mathew.

It didn't take long for Joseph to bring Mathew over. The two of them waited in the hallway.

"Why don't you take Grandpa to Boston Hospital? It's a lot less crowded there," Kathy asked him.

"I want to see you." Joseph looked at her intently.

His words caused Kathy to smile.

"We see each other all the time." She muttered.

"Not often enough." He hugged Kathy's tiny waist. Every second of every day, he just wanted to rub her into his body.

She belonged only to him."
