Chapter 521 I Really Miss Him

Kathy was supposed to rest on weekends but she received a phone call from Reece.

They shared a mentor and had to talk from time to time.

However, she rarely saw him after the semester started. He had to take care of Bridges Group besides
putting himself to school for his doctorate. In a nutshell, he was super busy.

"Mr Bridges."

"Come to school later. The professor has arranged an academic debate contest for you and some
other students."

"What time will it be?"

"Three o'clock."

After saying that, Reece hung up the phone.

Kathy frowned and looked up, meeting Joseph's gaze.

She had just agreed she would stay at Joseph Group all day today.

"Something came up at school." She walked over and sat on Joseph's lap, her voice soft and cute.

"Yes, I'll take you there." Joseph was not angry.

"I'll go by myself. Otherwise, it'll waste you more than two hours to go there and come back."

"I don't mind wasting my time for you." Joseph pulled her down and pushed her on the desk before
kissing her passionately. Then he reluctantly let her go.



Kathy blushed and leaned against Joseph's chest, rubbing her head on it. "We will meet here again
next Saturday."

She really missed him.

"Yes, I'll pick you up on Friday evening."

Joseph smiled dotingly and held her face. He couldn't kiss her enough.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Kathy arrived at University F on time.

According to the position Reece shared her, she came to a classroom.

Apart from Reece, two other students were also there.

Reece was the team leader, and the debate was on whether to choose emergency surgery or trauma
surgery.

Reece chose trauma surgery. All the team members were responsible for organizing the materials and
coming up with ideas. The competition was tomorrow afternoon.

Kathy listened to Reece's lecture. She had thought he didn't have any real talent, but it was admirable
that Dona had made him doctoral candidate.

With Reece's guidance, the three of them quickly came up with the first draft, but it was too late to
make the final draft tonight.

Reece wouldn't have anyone stay up late, so he took it from there and ask his team to keep thinking
about their opponent's possible arguments.

Late at night, Kathy walked out of the classroom feeling dizzy. It was probably because she had been
sitting for too long and skipped dinner.



Reece hugged her with a firm grip but then quickly let her go.

"Let's have dinner together."

"I'll just pack it up and take it back to the dormitory." She waved coldly.

"I need to pick your brain for some fresh ideas," Reece said.

Kathy could not say no to that.

After all, Reece was the captain.

They arrived at the top floor of the dining hall. It was a popular Chinese restaurant.

Reece was a regular guest, so he could directly enter the private room.

Kathy sat opposite him and asked indifferently, "You are so smart. Why do you need me for this?"

"You are Professor Zane's favorite student. Of course, I want to hear your thoughts." Reece raised his
eyebrows.

Kathy parroted the fruits of the discussion and offered her own thoughts to support their argument.

She didn't have much experience in this debate contest. She had only participated in one and played
an insignificant role.

This time, she had to be on the stage, so she got the jitters.

Reece was surprised to know she this was her first time. "Will you be nervous?"

"Yes." Kathy was honest.

She felt Reece had to know.



She didn't want to compromise the team.

"Don't worry. Actually, it's fine if we lose." Reece smiled.

"No, we must get a good place for the spirit of the contest!" She was pumped.

Reece looked at her stubborn little face and was slightly distracted by the firm look in her eyes.

After taking a sip of tea, he forced himself to look away.

"You want to win?" he asked.

"Of course, this is my first debate in the real sense. Our team is great, so shouldn't we win?" Kathy said
confidently.

"If you want to win, I'll make it happen," Reece said in a deep voice.

Kathy was dumbfounded. She looked down and felt uncomfortable.

She lost her appetite, but Reece enjoyed the meal. She wanted to hurry back to the dormitory after
dinner, but Reece insisted on walking her.

There weren't many people in University F's City N Campus, and the streets were even lonelier at
night.

After taking a shower, Kathy hung her clothes on the balcony, only to discover Reece was still there.

What was wrong with him? Why was he standing at the entrance of the girls' dormitory?

Kathy ignored him and continued to prepare the materials for the debate contest. She stayed up all
night.



In the morning, she came to the classroom with black circles under her eyes, but her teammates did
the same. Everyone was trying his best for this contest.

There were still six hours left before the debate. Reece finalized the draft and discussed with everyone
their opponents' possible arguments.

In the afternoon, Kathy received an unfamiliar phone call. To her surprise, it was Sonny.

"Kathy, it is Zofia," Sonny choked.

"What happened to her?" Kathy was on edge.

"She ... was pregnant. She had an abortion behind my back. She's going through surgery, but
something bad came up, and she is hemorrhaging...."

"What? Which hospital?" Kathy stood up and realized she had disturbed others.

She walked out of the classroom with worry in her eyes.

"In Ocean University Hospital. I don't know why she didn't discuss it with me.... She took out our baby
just like that...."

"Sonny, don't worry. I'll be right over."

However, she remembered the contest was an hour away.

After she hung up, Reece walked to her.

"What happened?"

"Zofia is in the hospital. I want to go...."



"Everyone must be present for this debate." Reece's expression dulled.

"I know...." Kathy was irritated.

"Tell me what happened. I know someone at the hospital."

"I...." Looking at Reece, she blurted out, "Zofia was pregnant. She's in critical danger in the operating
room."

She did not mention Zofia had an abortion. After all, it was not something to be proud of. So, it should
be kept between them three.

"Don't worry. I'll send the best doctor over immediately. You can rest assured and focus on the debate."
After saying that, Reece quickly made a phone call.

Kathy, however, was restless. After Reece confirmed a famous doctor was heading there, she called
Sonny. Only then did she calm down a little.

Taking a deep breath, she walked into the debate arena.
