My Sweetheart

Chapter 570 Not Doing Well

"Then I'm really grateful to Maria. Reece has monopolized a large chunk of the overseas market recently. His capability does scare me to some extent." Quinn narrowed his eyes.

At the very least, he hadn't found any breakthrough to fight against the Bridges Group yet.

The two companies were on a par at the moment.

"But are you sure that Maria will help us?" Quinn asked worriedly.

"Ella's life is in my hands. What do you think? However, we do need a back-up plan. I'm very surprised too that she just gave it to me like this." Joseph said softly.

Originally, he wasn't in a hurry and planned to play with Reece slowly. But now, this game seemed to be getting pretty exciting.

The next day, Kathy only met Joseph in the afternoon.

"What happened yesterday?" She asked with concern.

Joseph frowned and said softly, "Mrs. Bridges sent Ella to Boston Hospital. Her condition is at stake."

Hearing the name Ella, Kathy inevitably furrowed her brows.

She had no good impression of this woman.

"So you're in charge of her now?"

"Yes."

"Alright then, does that mean you will spend less time in the university these days?" Kathy was somewhat disappointed.

"No, but I do have to shuttle between the hospital and the university."

Kathy pursed her lips and couldn't help but feel a bit emotional.

Joseph could see that and smiled helplessly, "You're not happy about this?"

"Nope."

There's nothing more important than human life. She wouldn't be angry on that matter.

It was just that she wasn't really feeling good.

"You can come to the hospital with me." Joseph curled his lips.

Kathy was his student, so there was no problem for her to study beside him.

Hearing this, Kathy's eyes lit up.

"Really?"

"Would I lie to you?" Joseph dotingly rubbed her hair.

The surprised look on Kathy's face did not last long. Ella hated her, and she also hated Ella.

If she went with him, Ella would probably start a commotion.

She didn't want to impinge on Joseph's work.

"Forget it." Kathy shook her head.

She didn't want to ask for trouble right now.

Joseph frowned, "This is my order."

If he left Kathy alone on campus, she would probably feel uneasy.

Kathy pouted, "You know Ella's condition right now. Are you sure I won't sting her?"

"I got it, Kathy." Joseph's voice was deep.

Kathy looked down and slowly nodded.

In the afternoon, Kathy followed Joseph to the hospital after class.

As soon as she followed him into the ward, Ella immediately noticed her.

"Why are you here?" Ella asked unhappily.

Kathy ignored her and only cooperated with Joseph quietly.

"Miss Bridges, you need to keep a good mood. Don't let your emotions fluctuate too much." Joseph frowned.

"Oh, but I don't want to see Kathy." Ella said somewhat angrily.

With Kathy here, she could not calm down...

"She's my student. If you don't want to see her, then I won't come here, either." Joseph's voice sounded a little perishing.

Ella immediately turned silent; but upset, she still kept her gaze on Kathy.

Kathy looked quite calm, though. Anyway, she only followed Joseph here to study. She was not concerned about other things.

Maria was outside when they came out of the ward. She saw Joseph and stepped forward, "When can my daughter have the surgery?"

"After three months."

"Can she make it through this period of time?"

"She is now on medication. As long as Miss Bridges cooperates, there won't be any problem." Joseph clearly knew Ella well.

Maria was kind of worried, though. But since Joseph was here, her daughter wouldn't make a mess probably.

"Joseph, if there is anything, please contact me in time. I only want my daughter to survive."

Right now, she had almost no place in the Bridges family. Ella was her most important treasure.

"Don't worry, Mrs. Bridges."

Kathy listened to their conversation and felt that they seemed to have reached a certain deal, but she didn't ask.

In her mind, she had always thought that doctor should be a profession that had nothing to do with personal interests.

After a whole day, Joseph was going to hold a meeting with the brain experts and prescribe medicine for Ella himself. He wouldn't have time to rest until at night.

It had been a long time since Kathy last experienced such a busy working rhythm.

Leaving the pharmacy, she just found that she had several missed calls. All were from Sonny.

Recently, they had been in frequent contact because of the group homework.

"Sonny?" Kathy quickly called back.

"Kathy, are you busy?" All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

"Yes, I'm in the hospital."

"Am I bothering? Well, I was thinking to make an appointment with you to finish our homework."

"OK, I'll be free tomorrow afternoon."

"Great, shall we have lunch together tomorrow? Then we'll go to the laboratory?"

Lunch...

Kathy frowned. She had planned to eat with Joseph...

Kathy didn't answer, and Sonny immediately understood.

"Let's meet in the afternoon."

"Alright."

Hanging up the phone, Kathy looked up and saw that Joseph was looking at her, not knowing when he started.

"Who was it?" He asked softly.

"Sonny." For some reason, Joseph's gaze was a little harsh, and Kathy was somewhat guilty.

"OK."

"Are we leaving now?"

"Well, you go back first. I'm staying tonight."

"You're not going to stay up all night, are you?" Kathy looked a bit distressed.

Joseph had been working for many hours on end...

"Don't worry, I'll grab some sleep here." Joseph smiled.

However, the exhaustion on his face was all too obvious.

Kathy walked over and hugged him, "I'm gonna stay here with you."

"Come on, go back to sleep." Joseph put on a stern face.

Kathy pouted her lips in displeasure and did not let go.

No one could change her mind once she was determined.

Joseph finally compromised. He picked her up and pressed her on the sofa. "Kathy, I just can't be mad at you."

Only she dared to be so presumptuous in front of him.

Kathy chuckled, "Stop it, you got me completely under control."

However, just as they left the hospital, something happened to Ella. Joseph immediately turned back.

Before that, he had already brought Kathy into the car and said, "Be good, go back to sleep."

Kathy looked quite upset and wanted to get off the car, but Joseph closed the door faster and ordered the driver to lock it up.

Kathy was indignant, but she could only watch Joseph walking further and further away. She was extremely disappointed.

Now that he didn't go back with her, she would probably feel uneasy tonight.

Back in the hospital, Ella's breathing had stopped for a short time. And she finally woke up after the rescue.

The paramedics in the emergency room all heaved a sigh of relief.

But Ella was indeed not doing well.

Joseph organized another meeting in his office late at night to discuss her condition, and it lasted until dawn.
