My Sweetheart

Chapter 555 Treat You as My Sister and Take Care of You

"No." Reece rejected it decisively.

Kathy pursed her lips and her face clouded over.

"It's time for me to go back." Kathy turned around and left.

However, Reece kept following her until she returned to the dormitory.

Kathy hurried upstairs. When she came back to her room, she was so tired that she lay down as soon as she got on the bed.

After getting up and taking a bath, she hung clothes on the balcony, only to find that the tall figure downstairs hadn't left yet.

Kathy withdrew her gaze almost at once, but Reece had clearly spotted her just now.

She was a little irritated. She sat at the desk and intended to read a book, but her mind was all about Joseph. She couldn't get rid of him.

Coincidentally, Joseph called her.

Kathy smiled and picked up the phone sweetly.

"Are you going to bed?"

"Soon, but I want to read some books now. What about you?"

"I'm still in the hospital. Just finished an operation."

"It's so late. You may go back as soon as possible." Kathy said concernedly.

"Alright, have a good rest, Kathy." Joseph's voice was very gentle.

"Good night." Kathy's heart trembled.

After hanging up, Joseph took off his doctor's overall. After hearing the assistant report the work, he quickly left the hospital.

However, a thin figure stopped him.

Zofia had obviously waited for quite some time. Now that it was getting cold, she was dressed so little that she could not help but shiver.

"Joseph." Seeing Joseph walk out, Zofia revealed a smile, who had kept a straight face for a long time.

Joseph was always indifferent as he looked at her, frowning.

"Have you eaten yet? Shall we have a meal together?" Zofia looked at him expectantly.

Joseph quickly withdrew his gaze from her.

"Zofia, it's very late. You should go home now."

"I'm not going back. I want to go back after dinner with you."

Hearing this, Joseph looked sullen.

"What do you want to say? Just say it now."

Zofia pouted and stared at Joseph's indifferent expression.

"The shares my mother transferred to you are yours. Don't sell them, okay?" As Zofia spoke, she was about to cry.

"I can keep them, but only if you accept my shares." Joseph looked at Zofia.

"You just don't want to marry me!" Zofia couldn't hold back her tears anymore.

"Zofia, we can never be together. I have always remembered Mrs. Marshall's kindness to me, so I will treat you as my sister and take good care of you." Joseph said in a low tone.

Zofia could be his family, but she would never be his lover.

"Sister ... I don't want to be your sister. Joseph, I want to be your wife!" Zofia grabbed Joseph's shirt fiercely, which were soaked with her tears. She intended to hug him.

Joseph pushed her away gently and quickly instructed John to send Zofia home.

"Joseph, my mother saved your life. Your life ... belongs to the Marshall family! This is what you owe us...." Zofia's voice was still echoing in the distance, and Joseph frowned.

Sitting in the car, he sat still for a long time before starting the engine. He put a cigarette between his fingertips, and threw away the cigarette butt after a while.

After sending Zofia back to the Marshall family, John received a call from Joseph and immediately rushed to the Joseph Bay.

"Mr Joseph, at present, no one has bought the Marshall Group shares in the market. I found out that Bertie controlled your shares and prevented anyone from buying them."

Joseph squinted coldly, not surprised.

Taking a puff of his cigarette, he smiled coldly.

"Sell the shares through the overseas market, avoiding Bertie's spies." Joseph commanded.

"Yes, sir."

"Three days later, spread the news of marine medicine."

...

The next day, after Kathy finished her class, she came to the research laboratory in the afternoon.

Because she was involved in the research and development of the medicine, she did not need to go to the hospital for an internship recently.

However, this project lasted for a long time. Kathy applied to Professor Zane for an internship at the hospital on weekends. Although she became busy, she still wanted to spend some time in the hospital.

Now that Reece did not treat patients, Dona had arranged for her to serve the internship beside Joseph. When Kathy learned this news, she immediately told Joseph.

"Even work at weekends? Can you stand with it?" Joseph was somewhat displeased.

He hoped that she, who had a heavy academic load, would have a good rest on weekends.

"Yes, I can. Besides, I have you beside me. No matter how hard it is, I will hold on."

Joseph frowned helplessly, "Kathy, you don't need to work so hard."

"Alright, stop it. Professor Zane has already approved it. I'll see you at the hospital on Saturday." Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

After hanging up, Kathy kept smiling. Reece looked at her, as if he was infected by her smile, and his solemn face softened a lot.

However, he quickly put on a serious face.

He instructed Kathy, "Come and help me."

Kathy put down her phone and walked to Reece. She listened to Reece's guidance and quickly devoted herself into the research and experiment.

It was already past nine o'clock when Kathy finished a day's work.

Her phone was vibrating. She took it out and found that Zofia had sent her a WeChat message.

There was only one picture of Zofia hugging Joseph. Behind them was the gate of the Central Hospital.

Because it was taken at night, Kathy could not see their expressions clearly. But she could see from the photo that the two were quite intimate.

However, because it was Zofia that sent it to her, she did not believe that what she saw was the reality.

However, when she thought of them hugging each other, she felt a little uncomfortable.

After a pause, she couldn't help but send the photo to Joseph.

The next second, Joseph called her.

Joseph hadn't read the WeChat message yet. He was currently at the airport and was about to go on a business trip.

"Are you going to City D? When will you come back?"

"In one week."

"Alright, then we won't see each other for a long time." Kathy sighed.

"I'm here to pick you up now. Come with me, okay?" Joseph said abruptly.

"No, I've been busy lately." Kathy was in a dilemma.

She also wanted to go with Joseph, but thinking about it, she probably had no time to rest for so many days.

"You can just put your work aside. I will talk to Dona to ask leave for you." Joseph had already known how to arrange for her.

But Kathy was reluctant to go away.

"No, Joseph, I've already obtained enough privileges from Professor Zane. Don't ask for leave from her. Alright, I'll wait for you in City N to receive you then, okay?" Kathy's voice softened.

"Kathy." Joseph frowned, but he didn't say yes.

"Deal. If you really bring me to City D, I will be angry."

"Alright, if anything happens, just tell me. John was in City N. You can look for him at any time." Joseph said.

"I know."
