Chapter 422 I&##x27;ve Fallen in Love with You

Kathy eventually agreed to undergo the surgery.

For Joseph, she had always believed in him from the bottom of her heart.

Jennifer soon found out about it, but Joseph didn't block her out of the hospital this time.

However, the hospital was still heavily guarded.

Plus, with the recent incident at the Hilton Group, he had to watch out for Billy.

"Kathy, how come I'm the only one who's kept in the dark about such a big deal!" Jennifer was in a fit of
anger.

Kathy forced a smile on her pale face, "Mom, I… I just don't want to worry you."

After all, it was something that even she couldn't accept.

She was only twenty-six years old, but her days were numbered...

"How can I not worry about you?! Even if I would be worried, I've the right to know! You're my
daughter!" Jennifer said helplessly.

By now, she had no intention of blaming Kathy.

It was just that her heart went out to her daughter.

Jennifer and Kathy embraced each other, and Kathy could clearly feel Jennifer's worry and fear.

She appeased Jennifer, although she didn't accept this matter either.

"Mrs. Booth, this is all my fault. I was the one who hid it from Kathy first." Bertie took the initiative to
admit his mistake.



Jennifer looked at the two of them, and although she was very angry a moment ago, her anger had
now subsided.

"Where's the doctor? I have to go to him to make sure about the surgery."

"Mrs. Booth, the surgeon is Joseph," Bertie answered.

As soon as this name came to her ears, Jennifer froze.

A hint of displeasure flashed across her eyes.

However, she knew that Joseph was a much honored statesman in the medical profession and no one
dared to question the surgery he performed.

It was just that…

"Joseph…"

"Bertie, please take mom back, it's late," Kathy said as she checked the time.

She was also tired as she had been doing medical tests and injections since she woke up, she was
very sleepy now.

Jennifer saw Kathy's tired look, and she didn't bother her anymore.

Leaving the ward, she instructed Bertie to stay here and keep an eye on Kathy.

"I'm really worried about her," Jennifer said worriedly.

"Right now, we've no other choice as Joseph is undoubtedly the best doctor for Kathy." Bertie was also
very worried.



"I'm afraid they will really remarry in the future."

"Mrs. Booth, if that's Kathy's choice, let's try to accept it." Bertie had compromised.

Jennifer nodded, her eyes gradually turning red with tears.

Since something like this happened to Kathy, she only hoped that Kathy could get through this and get
on with her life.

The ward had returned to be quiet, but Kathy couldn't fall asleep anyway.

She picked up her phone and replied to the message, telling a few good friends about her current
situation. After that, she tried to watch some study videos, but couldn't concentrate anyway.

Joseph's appearance gradually came to her mind, and subsequently it completely took over her mind
as if by magic.

Kathy had mixed feelings thinking about the fact that he was now her attending physician.

Time and again, she tried to disassociate herself from him, but fate had tied him and her together like a
rope.

She couldn't break free.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps at the door. Looking up, the comer was none other than the
man she had been missing.

At this moment, she didn't want to hide anything and simply reveal all her emotions.

"Feeling better?" Joseph approached her and asked in a deep, husky voice.

"Yes, I'm not uncomfortable for now."



"We'll have the surgery next Monday. You stay here in the meantime, and I'll be available whenever you
need me."

"Okay," Kathy replied softly.

It was only when she thought about her job that she slowly raised her head. "For the LD project…I've to
wait until I'm discharged from the hospital before I can continue to participate."

"It's okay. There's no rush," Joseph frowned.

"I'm sorry that I may have slowed down the progress," Kathy felt guilty.

Joseph had just asked the development team to speed up the progress during the meeting, and also
gave her an order.

But now she was admitted to the hospital.

Joseph leaned closer to her, his dark eyes locked on her. "Your health is the most important thing, and I
don't necessarily want you to continue working on the development project immediately after you're
discharged from the hospital."

After the surgery, Kathy needed a long recuperation.

"Well…" Kathy murmured.

Joseph was a businessman, she thought…he would value his own interest more.

"Well, I want you to work for Joseph's Group just because I want to have more opportunities to see
you," Joseph said frankly.

All he wanted was for her to stay in the same place as him.



Kathy blinked, a little confused.

What did he mean…?

In a trance, Joseph kissed her gently, with caution, with love, with cherish, and his kisses were so deep
that it felt like he was overwhelming her in his kiss.

Kathy was almost engrossed in his kiss.

Closing her eyes, she just wanted to indulge herself with his tenderness at the moment.

She totally relaxed herself.

Joseph's eyes had intense affection in them, just like hers.

Kathy saw it.

So she plucked up the courage and deepened the kiss.

She was emboldened when she knew that she might have a fighting chance.

She wanted him.

Grabbing Joseph's wrist, she looked at him affectionately.

Joseph was startled, his breathing gradually growing heavier.

His arm wrapped around Kathy's slender waist, his Adam's apple rolling up and down as he gradually
pressed her underneath him.

Without resisting, Kathy wrapped her arms around Joseph's neck. Her body seemed to be tingling with
electricity, causing her to tremble.



"Joseph," she murmured his name.

Joseph looked down at her, while his thin lips curved into a smile.

"You want me to stay with you, don't you?"

Kathy nodded and said, "I miss you so much."

I… love you very much.

But these words stuck on the tip of her tongue.

Joseph's actual feelings for her remained elusive to her.

"Kathy, I'll always stay with you and I won't let anything happen to you," he said in a deep voice, word
by word.

He made her a promise.

Kathy looked down. "Is that so? Even if you don't love me, do you still want to marry me?"

"I've fallen in love with you." Joseph said slowly, while his eyes became scorching.

His voice was mellifluous and intoxicating like a brewed wine.

Kathy was flabbergasted, was Joseph…telling the truth?

Her eyes sparkled and eventually shone like fireworks, lighting up Joseph's handsome face and
dazzling him.

Her eyes reflected his handsome face, and a smile gradually blossomed on her face.



"Joseph, you didn't lie to me, did you? You said…"

The next words were once again blocked on the tip of her tongue by him. His kisses fell on her like a
storm, leaving her drowning in them, unable to extricate herself.

The hospital bed was spacious, Joseph held Kathy in his embrace while she stayed quietly in his
embrace.

Joseph's words that had shocked her still lingered in her mind.

Fall in love with you.

"When did this happen?" She asked, stroking his chin with her fingertips.

"Pardon?" Joseph furrowed his eyebrows.

"When did you fall in love with me?" Kathy looked at him with a starry gleam in her eyes.

Joseph's eyes were full of affection for Kathy as he rubbed her long hair that had reached her back and
said in his usual husky voice, "I forgot."

"You're lying!" Kathy was displeased.

After a moment, Kathy saw that Joseph still hadn't given her an answer and asked again, "You didn't
just fall in love with me, did you?"

Joseph pursed his lips, but his eyes were flooded with intense love.

Holding the back of her head, he dipped a light kiss on her again.

"It's a secret."



Kathy was rendered speechless.

Then she couldn't help slamming her fist lightly on Joseph's chest, "How can you be like that?"
