Chapter 362: Chapter 362

The doctor stopped talking abruptly when he saw them in each other’s arms.

“Umm...”

Kathy was already too embarrassed to raise her head. She didn’t know how many people came in behind her. The feeling of being watched made her feel terribly humiliated.

“Help me up.” Joseph’s deep voice came into her ears.

Kathy regained her composure and stood up immediately. The doctor walked forward to help Joseph get up, checked his wound, and left after confirming that the wound had not reopened.

Kathy’s face was red with embarrassment throughout this time.

“Have you still not hired a care giver?” Kathy asked in worry.

Under these circumstances, it was almost impossible for Joseph to take care of himself.

John was his assistant for work, it was not suitable for him to take care of him in his personal life too.

“No.” Joseph answered coldly.

“...”

“Didn’t Grandpa ask you to come and do that for me?” He asked.

“I... I don’t think it’s a good idea.”

“What if I pay you salary?” Joseph looked at her.

“Joseph, do you really need me that much?” Kathy looked up at him blankly.

She couldn’t understand him even more as time passed.

However, she knew that she also wanted to stay close to him.

“Yeah!” Joseph admitted openly.

“I will take care of you until you are discharged from the hospital. But it’s only because of Grandpa, you don’t need to pay me.”

“Kathy, you should think carefully about my proposal!” Joseph pinched her chin, his deep eyes twinkling.

Kathy was stunned. Was he talking about... remarriage?

“What proposal?”

“Remarriage.”

“Stop with your jokes.” Kathy pushed him away.

However, Joseph pulled her in his arms again, “At that time, I had no choice. Your safety is always more important, you know that, right?”

Kathy was looking at him with her eyes wide, her heart had stopped beating in a shock.

Because of Joseph’s attitude, she had always speculated that maybe he divorced her for her own safety.

But she never allowed herself to believe it.

However, now that she heard him say it himself, it felt completely different.

But now, her situation was completely different too, from back then.

“I don’t need to get married to deal with my family anymore, Joseph.” She spoke slowly, word by word.

In the beginning, she had only agreed to a flash marriage with Joseph to reassure Angela.

“Kathy, what I need has never been a marriage, but you!”

...

At night, Kathy sat in the dormitory with Joseph’s words lingering in her mind for a very long time.

He needed her.

A smile appeared subconsciously at the corners of her mouth. Zofia, who was sitting besides Kathy, giggled as she placed her palm on Kathy’s forehead, “You don’t have a fever, do you?”

Hearing that, Kathy immediately stopped smiling, “No, I’m fine.”

“I thought you had lost your mind.” Zofia teased.

“For a few days, I will have to go to the hospital every day.” Kathy told her.

After living with Zofia for so long, their relationship was improving every day.

“Well, you have been going to the hospital almost every day any way.”

“...”

Joseph still hadn’t recovered fully, his classes every Friday were suspended. Benedict was substituting in for the classes that Kathy had missed before.

“How is Joseph? Is he seriously injured?” Benedict asked.

“Yeah, seems so. He will have to be hospitalized for maybe around a month.”

“And how are things between you two?”

Kathy froze after hearing him say that.

“Me and him? We are... just... we are okay.” Kathy didn’t know how to explain.

Joseph and Kathy were not friends nor a couple.

Benedict smiled. Kathy didn’t know how to hide her feelings; they were written clearly on her face.

After her class in the afternoon, Kathy went to the hospital.

First, she went to pack up dinner for Joseph, and then went to him.

In the ward, John was in the middle of reporting official affairs to Joseph.

“And next Monday will be the shareholder’s meeting. Currently, Julian’s shares have already surpassed 30%.”

Joseph nodded calmly.

John was a little worried, “Mr. Joseph, are you not going to attend?”

He knew about Joseph’s situation; he knew Joseph could be discharged from the hospital easily at any time...

He was here deliberately just so that he could have Kathy take care of him...

“Will attend.”

“Okay, I will inform them immediately.”

“Is there any news from Herbert?” Joseph asked.

“No.” John’s said, his expressions turning sour, “I followed Julian to try and look into it, there’s still no clue.”

“Try Diego.” Joseph said.

“I understand.”

When John came to the door to leave, he saw Kathy standing there.

She had heard some of the conversation.

“What’s wrong with Herbert?” Kathy asked.

She realized just then that the news that reported her defamation was recently withdrawn.

She didn’t even know how much progress was made in that matter.

“She’s missing.”

“I saw her only a few days ago...” Kathy murmured.

“There is no news of her, and her case has been put on hold.” Joseph said.

“Do you know the reason?”

“It’s just that the people of the family can’t sit still.” Joseph said indifferently.

Kathy didn’t ask him anything anymore. The matters involving Joseph’s family seemed very complicated.

Opening the lunch box, she handed him chopsticks.

Joseph turned his laptop screen towards her, “Help me read it out.”

Kathy was speechless.

“Can’t you just eat?”

“Otherwise, I won’t even have time to eat in peace.”

Kathy’s voice was very sweet, with a little hoarseness in it, and Joseph’s eyes slowly lit up.

His gaze that had been on the lunch box, slowly travelled to Kathy’s face with a burning stare.

Kathy could feel his eyes on her, she blushed and snapped at him, “Hurry up and eat!”

“It’s not enough.”

Kathy looked up at him in confusion.

The moment she raised her head, her chin was already grabbed with his thumb and forefinger as he lowered his head to kiss her deeply. The kiss was so hot, it made her unable to resist.

He picked her up in his arms and pinned her on the bed.

His strength was too much for a patient...

Joseph didn’t even give her a chance to think or to react, keeping her distracted as he continued to kiss her passionately.

Kathy’s face turned a bright tomato red...

“Joseph!” Finally, Joseph reluctantly let her go. Kathy sat there panting in silent anger.

Joseph’s domineering aura and his scent didn’t leave her for a long time.

“Kathy, why are you seducing me?” Joseph asked in an assertive tone.

Kathy was stunned. When did she...?

She pushed him away with all her strength, “It’s obviously you trying to seduce me!”

She retreated away from him, to what she thought was a safe distance, but Joseph spoke, “Hold me.”

She looked at him suspiciously.

However, seeing him trying to get out of bed, she ran over immediately.

But Joseph only slyly trapped her in his arms again.

“You...” Kathy was really annoyed now. Did he even consider himself a patient?

“Don’t move, let me hug you.” Joseph’s deep voice was irresistible.

Kathy frowned and suddenly pressed her hand on Joseph’s leg. Even though she pressed a little hard, Joseph still only frowned slightly.

“Stop it!”

Kathy’s suspicion rose.

She pushed him away, “I will go over there to study, you continue your work.”
