Chapter 546 She Felt Sad

The research program was confirmed, and Kathy received a notification from the professor that she
had to represent University F to go over to the Joseph’s Group for a meeting together with Reece.

Kathy had just gone out from the dormitory building when Reece’s car was already waiting downstairs.

She frowned, Reece had already opened the door for her.

“I’ll go there myself, Reece,” Kathy avoided him.

“The meeting is brought forward, it’s half an hour later, are you sure that you can make it on public
transport?”

Reece’s chides came from behind.

Kathy froze in her footsteps, she turned to look at Reece. He looked believable.

Indeed, she would possibly not be able to make it if she took public transport.

“I’ll hail a cab.”

“This research program should go on for at least one year, are you sure that you’re going to be like this
with me all the time for this one year?” Reece raised his eyebrow.

Kathy pursed her lips and looked at Reece coldly.

“Thank you then,” she got into the car.

Reece’s lips curled up in satisfaction.

“Did you know why this research program is suddenly restarted?” Reece asked on purpose.

“Did you want to say that you helped too?” Kathy replied simply.



“The Bridges Group is investing as well.”

Kathy stunned, looking at Reece in surprise.

No wonder Reece became the person in charge now.

Then Joseph…

Would the Joseph’s Group still be willing to take part?

“Relax, the Joseph’s Group wouldn’t leave this program. The Bridges Group didn’t invest a lot in this.
Now, the control is with University F,” Reece explained.

Kathy frowned, she understood now. But now, all the power must have landed on Reece.

When they arrived the Joseph’s Group it was right at 2 p.m., Quinn came personally to greet the two.

Now, this research program had cancelled the promotional activities at the beginning, the main focus
being on the research. Reece had previous experience on research and development, in addition to the
team at the Joseph’s Group. For now the time period planned was two years, and the Joseph’s Group
would begin the promotion according to the progress of the research.

When all of the planning were confirmed, it was already night time. Kathy was only in charge of the
meeting minutes. Not long after, Quinn still had something to discuss with Reece, so she left first.

Today was Friday, Joseph was about to get off from work, so she went over to the hospital.

At this moment, at the Central Hospital.

Joseph was in a meeting about the condition of Mrs Marshall’s illness. Three professor from neurology
was involved in this, and the meeting continued until night time.



Zofia was wating outside the entire time. When she saw that Joseph came out, she asked anxiously, “Is
my mum going under surgery?”

“For now, surgery seemed to be the best solution,” Joseph nodded.

“Then… what are the possibilities of succeeding?”

“Fifty percent.”

Hearing this, Zofia almost stumbled. Joseph held onto her gentlemanly, but she did not come to her
senses and she leaned into his arms.

Kathy had just came out from the elevator when she saw this scene.

Joseph… was embracing Zofia, the woman in his arms crying silently, looking so fragile.

Her footsteps seemed like they froze at where they stood, and did not move for a long time.

Joseph walked into the ward quickly, but Zofia held onto him more tightly in fear, “Joseph, please…
Please let my mum get better…”

“I can only say I’ll try my best,” Joseph pushed Zofia away.

But Zofia seemed to have broken down, as she kept pulling on Joseph, “Please don’t leave… don’t.”

Joseph frowned, patting onto Zofia’s shoulder lightly, “Zofia, let go, this is a hospital.”

Zofia’s eyes were red, looking at Joseph, her hand could not help but tremble.

She sat on the couch beside, her tears streaming.



Outside, Kathy did not know how she left, her entire mind filled with the scene of Zofia holding onto
Joseph.

Her heart felt horrible.

She should have gone up to ask, since she was Joseph’s girlfriend.

Yet her footsteps could not help but retreat.

She was afraid.

Since, Zofia had known Joseph for a longer time than she did. The two were familiar with each other as
well.

Once she thought of this, her heart ached bluntly.

Tears eventually filled her entire face, Kathy only felt as if her throat was clenched, she could not
breathe.

She bent down slowly, chillness piercing in seamlessly. The next second, she seemed to make up her
mind to go back to the hospital and ask about it!

She believed that Joseph would not have any intimate relationships with Zofia.

He would not.

But once she stood up, Kathy bumped into a quite familiar embrace. She frowned and look up.

Reece who was fully dressed in black almost blended into the night.

He had seen her when Kathy was running out from the hospital.



He kept following her, seeing her cry in devastation.

Only Joseph could have made her have this kind of emotion.

He pulled out a handkerchief from his pocket, Reece wanted to wipe her tears off for her, but Kathy
retreated on instinct.

“I’m alright.” She turned and walked away.

But Reece held onto her arm, and despite her protests he forced her into the car beside.

“You’re crying so hard, yet you tell me that you’re alright?” Reece’s tone had a chilling anger in it.

Kathy bit her lip and turned to look outside the window, “Please send me back to school.”

“Alright,” Reece ordered the driver.

On the way, the two never spoke again, until Joseph called. Kathy picked up.

“I probably can’t go back tonight, I’ll accompany you tomorrow, alright?” the exhaustion in Joseph’s
tone could not be hidden.

“Alright.”

“Did you come to the hospital?”

“No, I still have something going on, I’ll hang up first.” Kathy hung up the call quickly.

Looking outside the window, she kept being in a daze.

Until the car stopped outside University F.



“Thank you,” Kathy got off the car, Reece still followed behind and only left until he made sure she was
back in her dormitory.

He smoked a cigarette outside. After a long while, the driver could not help but ask, “Young master, are
we going back?”

“Yes, go to the Bridges Group.”

Kathy did not fall asleep tonight, so when she woke up in the morning, she had two large dark circles.

At this moment, Joseph’s call rang. He knew her schedule, and was right on timing every time.

“You didn’t go back to Joseph Bay last night?”

“Yes, I still had something on at school, so I didn’t go back,” Kathy replied lightly.

“I’ll come pick you up at school.”

“No need, I have some homework to rush today…” Kathy looked for an excuse.

“Kathy, we haven’t seen each other in a week. Don’t you want to see me?” Joseph’s tone sounded a
little displeased.

Kathy bit on her lip and did not speak for a while.

Yes, they have not seen each other for days.

This week, Joseph had been busy at the hospital, but what was he busy about?

Busy hugging with Zofia?

She was so jealous that she almost went into insanity.



She kept telling herself that she must trust Joseph, but… she really could not forget the scene last
night.

She did not even want to hear Joseph’s explanation, she was avoiding it on instinct.

“I…”

As she spoke, Joseph already cut her off, “Wait for me at the dormitory, be obedient.”
