Chapter 368: Chapter 368

Kathy froze slightly as all traces of her anger were now seemingly gone like the wind.

She finished her meal very quickly, and soon she was about to go back to her classroom, but at that moment she was halted by Joseph.

“Help me to carry some of the exercise books here.”

Kathy felt speechless when she heard that.

She had feeling that she had transformed into Joseph’s assistant at that moment.

Nevertheless, he was still the professor, and she had no choice but to comply to him...

When Joseph saw Kathy’s unwillingness which was evident on her face, Joseph stopped short in his tracks.

Kathy who was oblivious about this almost bumped into him.

Joseph cupped her forehead gently as Kathy fell into his embrace. She felt her face started to turn red as she leaned on his chest.

As the realization that they were in school struck her, she immediately pushed him away.

Despite that, Joseph looked like he had no intentions to let go of his hands.

Some nearby students were beginning to notice them...

“Joseph.”

“Are you hurt?” He asked in a low voice.

“I’m not hurt, but let me go!”

Joseph chuckled when he heard that. He gazed at her, “Everybody has seen us, you know.”

Kathy couldn’t produce any response to that.

She pushed Joseph away hard and scurried forward.

Joseph was able to catch up with her in no time since he had long and slender legs. A look of infatuation slowly entered his gaze.

When they arrived at the classroom, Kathy hurriedly put down the exercise books and almost broke into a run as she returned to her seat.

Kathy didn’t dare to distract herself in class, but ever so accidentally, her eyes would be locked with his.

After class, Joseph was seen huddled up by a great number of students, and Zofia was already there too since the beginning. However, she couldn’t find the chance to talk to Joseph.

“Do those students really have so many questions?” She muttered while taking a seat beside Kathy to wait for her turn.

“After all, Joseph has been absent from school for a month.”

“You’re really fortunate to have Joseph teach you guys. I’m really jealous.” Zofia said teasingly.

At that moment, Joseph was about to leave the classroom, and Zofia immediately broke into a jog to stop him.

“Joseph, how are you going to deal with Veronica’s matter?” Zofia asked worriedly.

When he heard that, Joseph’s face darkened slightly.

“About this matter, we can only put everything on hold. Since Billy is not out of the hospital yet, the case cannot proceed.”

“How long are you going to put this on hold? Veronica is on the verge of breaking down, you know.” Zofia knew very well about Veronica’s current state.

“One month.”

“Joseph, are you confident in resolving this matter?”

“I won’t let anything happen to Veronica.”

After getting his token of affirmation, Zofia could finally relax a little.

In the afternoon, Kathy and Benedict visited the hospital for a surgical demonstratio. Kathy was going to act as his assistant there.

They arrived at the hospital and first had to attend a meeting. To her surprise, Joseph was also there in the meeting room.

Kathy locked gaze with him for a moment, and she couldn’t help but have doubts written all over her face.

After the meeting started, Kathy only learnt of the fact that Joseph was also a shareholder of this hospital. The current dean was going to retire and it was his intention to recommend Joseph to be the next dean of the hospital.

However, Joseph didn’t take on his offer.

Next, it was time for Benedict and a few professors from the neurological department to put on a surgical demonstration.

Joseph was watching them from the second floor.

This was not Kathy’s first time to participate in such a surgical demonstration, but at that moment, Joseph was watching her.

Strangely, she felt her heart begin to race. She was even more nervous than that first time when she entered the surgical theater.

Benedict walked over and noticed her flustered look. He lifted the corner of his lips and said coolly, “Why are you even more nervous than the first time you were in the theater?”

Kathy couldn’t find any words to answer him at that moment.

In that theater, she was the only student here. All the other participants were famous neurological professors, and she was afraid that she would hold Benedict back.

As if he had seen through her thoughts, he patted her shoulders lightly and said reassuringly, “Kathy, believe in yourself.”

Kathy nodded while taking a deep breath. She was fully ready at that moment.

Joseph’s gaze fell on her and paused briefly.

Coincidentally, Kathy looked up at the same time.

She could make out the shape of Joseph’s mouth. He was telling her, “You can do it.”

Kathy knitted her brows and suddenly put on a solemn expression.

Much to her surprise, she was no longer that nervous anymore.

She took her place by Benedict’s side.

She had been under Benedict’s tutelage for some time, so she had already gotten used to his habits and disposition. There wasn’t any problems for her to cooperate with him.

The only thing unexpected for them was that the patient lying on the theatrical bed started to act abnormally.

Several professors were coming up with surgical methods to deal with the patient, but their proposals all had risks.

Shortly after that, Joseph came into the surgical theater.

Benedict wanted to take a risk with one of the plans they came up with but the other professors there couldn’t agree with him.

On the other hand, Joseph supported Benedict’s proposal, “Dr. Watson and me will carry out this surgery together.”

They were both renowned authoritative figure in the neurological field, but there was no guarantee that a surgery would be successful even if the best surgeons were to work on it. They could only do their best.

Kathy had to accommodate Joseph too.

She was in very close proximity to him and for some reason, her hand started to tremble slightly despite the fact that she was not so nervous anymore only a moment ago.

Joseph’s face was extremely gloomy when he said seriously, “Kathy.”

Kathy bit her lips and urged herself to keep her emotions in check.

The surgery only ended after two hours.

Two authoritative figures in the neurological field combined their strengths to put on a stunning performance. The moment they stepped out of the surgical theater, the other doctors and nurses who were observing the surgery all broke into an applause.

Joseph didn’t have any emotion on his face. Benedict took care of some minor details at that moment before leaving.

After an arduous surgical operation, all the participating personnel were exhausted.

Kathy checked the clock and realized to her surprise that it was already way past midnight.

She packed her things and was about to return to school.

She needed to complete her report by burning the midnight oil and came back to the hospital again tomorrow.

When she got out of the office, she saw Joseph standing not far away in front of her.

A few young doctors were surrounding him, looking like they were trying to learn a thing or two from him.

Joseph patiently answered each of their questions and his gaze swept across Kathy after that. He called her name.

Kathy frowned and turned around to reply him but he was already next to her.

“Let me send you back to school.”

“No thanks, I’ll take a taxi...”

“It’s not safe to do that.” Joseph’s tone was adamant.

There were a few doctors looking in their direction curiously.

Kathy didn’t want to be scrutinized like that so she increased her pace.

When all sounds of footsteps ceased to exist, she felt a sense of relief and also a sense of disappointment at the same time.

While standing in front of the hospital, she saw no passing taxis since the time was very late. She couldn’t hire a taxi through e-hailing apps at that timing as well.

Walking back to school was not an option since she would have to walk for a few hours...

She could only wait patiently for a taxi to appear.

After a short while, no taxis were in sight but instead, a black car rolled to stop in front of her.

It looked like Joseph’s car.

However, when the window was winded down, it was not Joseph that came into her view.

It was Julian.

“I just got off from work. Are you waiting for a taxi, Mrs. Joseph? At this timing, I don’t think you will be able to wait for one to appear.”

“Yes.” Kathy’s tone was indifferent and her eyes were still searching the road.

“Let me send you to your destination. Where are you planning to go?”

Kathy frowned slightly and before she could produce a reply, a long arm suddenly stretched over and grabbed her wrist.

In an instant, she fell into a very familiar embrace.

Joseph had a solemn look on his face as he brought Kathy away.

Julian watched their figure getting smaller and smaller and his initially smiley face was now replaced with coldness.
