Chapter 548 Why Did He Leave

Reece had been looking at Kathy, whose features were exquisite and charming. She was asleep,
finally not pulling a long face with him.

His thin lips slowly curled up into a smile, which disappeared after a while.

He went out of the ward, taking out a cigarette. The female doctor walked up to him. "Didn't you say
you will quit smoking?"

"I can't quit." Reece said indifferently as he skillfully lit the cigarette.

"This is the first time I've seen you so nervous about a woman." The female doctor said wistfully.

She had thought that no one could have this man's heart.

It turned out she was wrong.

"Do you think so? Am I nervous?" He had been confident about everything, but he did not know that he
could have such a feeling.

"Yeah. You are so nervous that I'm very jealous of her." The female doctor never concealed her
thoughts.

Reece smiled without saying anything.

When he saw Kathy this morning, she looked frighteningly pale. He could not allow her to work in such
a state.

"So, what is the nature of your relationship with her?"

"Enemies?" Reece pondered and said.



"You're lying." The female doctor obviously didn't believe him.

Reece shook his head. "Who knows?"

The female doctor could not see through this man, and she did not continue.

He was always mysterious and unfathomable, but he appealed to women most strongly.

At the Central Hospital.

Joseph stayed in his office. He had cancelled all the appointments today, asking not to be disturbed by
anyone.

However, Zofia had to come to him because her mother vomited again.

Joseph frowned and quickly went to check on her mother.

Mrs. Marshall would have a surgery the next day, and today she had to have various physical
checkups, which didn't go well.

"Does my mother have to take the surgery?" Zofia's was on the brink of collapsing these days.

"Surgery is the only way." Joseph replied indifferently.

The checkups took a whole day, and Mrs. Marshall had fallen asleep.

Zofia went out. Looking at Joseph, who had a weary look on his face, she said, "Thank you."

She was sincere.

If it were not for Joseph's help, she would definitely have lost her head.

"I am a doctor, and this is my responsibility." After saying that, Joseph went to inspect the other wards.



Zofia followed him, "What can I do for you?"

"What you should do now is to go home and rest." Joseph halted.

Zofia had stayed here for three days without sleeping.

"But, I'm worried." Zofia said in a low spirit.

"I will keep an eye on Mrs. Marshall."

Zofia sighed. Actually, she just didn't want to leave Joseph.

He was in the hospital, and she could see him all the time.

Even though he turned a cold face to her, she felt happy.

She bit her lips and continued to follow Joseph to the wards, not leaving him at all.

"Zofia, I'll ask someone to drive you back." Joseph turned colder.

"Why don't you drive me back? You should go back and rest." Zofia suggested, "You must rest well
tonight for tomorrow's surgery."

"Okay." Joseph replied indifferently.

After dropping Zofia off at the Marshall's, John turned around and drove away.

He didn't dare to speak when Zofia was in the car. He said, "Mr Joseph, Ms Kathy seems to be sick.
This morning, Reece took her to the infirmary, and they haven't come out yet."

Joseph had been closing his eyes. When he heard what John said, he suddenly opened his eyes which
were filled with coldness.



"Go to University F."

Half an hour later.

When Kathy was almost through with the intravenous drip, the female doctor removed the needle
gently. Kathy pressed the gauze to stop the bleeding.

It was noon. Kathy looked at Reece and said, "Aren't you going to the research laboratory?"

"I'll take you back to the dormitory first."

"I can go back myself."

"You want me to carry you again?" Reece narrowed his eyes.

Kathy frowned. Of course she did not want that!

She had to get into Reece's car again.

At this moment, the black Cayenne was coming in through the side door. Reece's car was eye-
catching, and Joseph saw it at a glance.

Kathy got out of Reece's car. Not long after, Reece also got off, helping her push open the door to the
dormitory building.

It wasn't until Kathy entered the building that he returned to the car.

Joseph had been fixing his eyes on the door to the dormitory building with a dark handsome face.

"Mr Joseph, now..." John asked nervously.

"Go back to Joseph Bay."



Kathy fell asleep once she returned to the dormitory. She heard the familiar sound of footsteps and
opened her eyes in a daze.

She hid her head under the blanket and looked at the closed door, but it was not pushed open.

However, there were footsteps outside.

Her heart was beating fast. She was about to pick up the broom and prepared to defend herself once
the door was opened.

However, the door did not open, and she heard the footsteps going away...

The person had left?

Kathy did not dare to open the door. She went to the balcony and saw a familiar Cayenne.

Joseph?

As expected, soon Joseph got out of the building. Kathy quickly hid herself.

Why did he come?

Why didn't he call her since he came?

Kathy suddenly got restless. She felt wide awake, staring at her phone, but she didn't receive any calls
from Joseph.

He probably thought she was asleep, so he didn't call to wake her up, did he?

However, since he had come, why did he leave?



Kathy crawled in bed sullenly. She looked at her phone and started to dial Joseph's number, but in the
end she dropped the idea of calling him.

Joseph left in the morning and went straight to the hospital. After resting in his office for a while, he
entered the operating room.

Before the surgery, Mrs. Marshall asked to see Joseph alone.

Joseph took off his mask and entered the ward, leaving Zofia very nervous outside.

"Hello, Mrs. Marshall." Joseph was always polite.

"I know my physical condition. I may not be able to make it this time. Joseph, thank you for taking care
of me during this period of time..."

Joseph was humble and polite. Mrs. Marshall had helped him before, and he respected her the most.

However, his face darkened at her last words.

"Joseph, please, could you promise me?"

"Mrs. Marshall..."

"Joseph, please..."

...

Joseph went out of the ward with a solemn face.

"What did my mother say?" Zofia stepped forward and asked with concern.

She got more worried at the sight of his grim face.



"Nothing, I should go in now." Joseph put on his mask and hid all his emotions.

Zofia ran into the ward, where the nurse was urging them.

"Mom..."

Zofia couldn't help but cry loudly. She had prepared for the worst, but when she thought about that, she
couldn't take it.

Bertie rushed over, who helped Zofia up and hugged her in his arms. "Don't be afraid. I'm here with
you."

Zofia looked up and sniffed, holding her brother tightly. "Mom will definitely be fine."

"Yes, she'll be fine." Bertie had the same grim look on his face.
