Chapter 584 You&##x27;re So Whimsical

They had stayed awake until almost dawn. Lying in Joseph's arm, Kathy murmured, "I thought you
won't be back for another dozen of days."

"I've missed you." It was just a few simple words, but it triggered some sparks in Kathy's head.

She held him tight, turning up the corner of her mouth.

"Then what about your work there?"

"Cancelled."

"You're so whimsical."

"Yeah, I am," Joseph said seriously.

Kathy couldn't help but gently punch his chest, "You don't have to."

"Kathy, I'm already back."

Joseph lifted her chin and kissed her passionately. She closed her eyes and went in for his
gentleness....

...

They woke up in the noon. Kathy opened her eyes and saw the man next to her. The fatigue on his
face was obvious.

Arriving only yesterday in the middle of the night, he must have no time for a break at all.

She blinked, and kissed him on the lips.

It was just a gentle kiss, and she was going to pull back very soon.



But Joseph suddenly got hold of her head and intensified the kiss.

"You're awake," said Kathy.

"Yeah. Are you hungry?" he asked softly.

"Starving ... but it's a little late now. Are you going to the hospital?"

"Not today."

"Ella will probably not be ok with that, will she?" Kathy blurted out.

When they were in the hospital, Ella lost her temper even if Joseph had just been gone for one day.

Not to mention Joseph had been on a business trip for several days.

"Don't worry about her," Joseph said airily.

Kathy smiled at his calm face, "She is your patient, and you never told her the truth. I feel a little sorry
for her."

Although Ella looked mean and tough on the outside, she was probably just concealing her
vulnerability.

"Is that so?" Joseph frowned. He hadn't thought of that.

"Forget it. You really don't care about her at all," Kathy didn't mean to point that out.

Just as she was rising to her feet, Joseph caught her in his arms again, "If I care about her, will you
dump me?" he asked.



Kathy paused and then pouted, "She is your patient. And you take care of her as a doctor. I am better
than that."

"For real?" Joseph raised his eyebrows.

Kathy pursed her lips and remained silent.

Actually, she would be jealous.

In the afternoon, Kathy went to the hospital with Joseph. He was the director of the neurology
department, and his absence due to the business trip left many things unattended.

They were busy until night. Joseph did not visit Ella. She should have been discharged from the
hospital long ago.

Ella rushed over when she learned that Joseph was back.

"Mr Joseph, good to see you again."

"You can be discharged anytime now. When are you leaving?" asked Joseph directly.

Ella was brought up short. She looked at Joseph in silence with one hand on her head.

"I'm not leaving the hospital," she said coldly.

"I will talk to Mrs Bridges," said Joseph without any mercy.

"My mother told you to take care of me."

"Ella...." Joseph's face turned colder.

At once, Ella was intimidated.



"I'm tired. I'm going back to sleep."

Before leaving, Ella threw a glare at Kathy.

Kathy was dumbfounded.

Soon, Joseph called Maria. They chatted for a long time, and as a result, Joseph did not make Ella
leave the hospital.

"How long will it take before Ella undergoes the surgery?" Kathy asked, going through Ella's medical
records.

"Three months."

"That won't be too long."

However, the increase of patients in Boston Hospital had resulted in a shortage of beds.

When they went back to school at night, Joseph wanted to bring Kathy back to the apartment. But
Kathy directly refused.

She got off the car as if she was fleeing. She didn't want to go through the same thing that made her
too exhausted to get out of bed....

Joseph watched her flee with a smile on his face, which soon faded away when he saw an email.

The next day, he went to the vice principal's office.

At then, the principal and school board members of University F were in Country F. There were not
many people in charge here.

"Professor Joseph, I must be the last one to know that you are back." The vice principal was surprised.



He had just taken office, and he didn't know much about this place.

Joseph didn't waste any breath and made it clear that he didn't need an assistant.

But the vice principal frowned in embarrassment when he saw Zofia's name on the list.

"Professor Joseph, it is the regulation of the school that all stuff above the level of adjunct professor
should have assistants...."

"So, it's already set in stone?" Joseph's eyes were colder than the ice.

"For the time being, yes...." The associate professor began to sweat.

Joseph's aura was just too intimidating.

"I think you might need to offer applications to Mr Baron."

Joseph frowned. He didn't stay any longer but run across Zofia on his way out, who had just finished
with the registration.

"Joseph, I...." Zofia looked at him.

"Follow me," Joseph said plainly.

Zofia thought she would be rejected on the spot, but now she was overjoyed.

She followed Joseph to the office, only to find her own desk was already arranged, right next to
Joseph's.

"Since you have trouble moving around, some simple paperwork for you will do," said Joseph.

"I can go anywhere with you."



"No need," Joseph said coldly.

Zofia bit her lips and fell silent.

She would find a chance eventually.

Kathy only found out about it a few days later. She had been busy in the hospital. She wouldn't have to
return to school frequently if it wasn't for the research.

"Kathy, hadn't Joseph told you about this?" Sonny asked in surprise.

"Are you sure?" Kathy frowned.

"The whole school knows. Zofia is envied by so many of them. However, University F has always been
giving privileges to the handicapped and she happens to be one of them. It's no surprise that she got
in."

"Alright then," said Kathy disappointedly.

She still disliked Zofia, but she felt sorry for her legs.

However, that was totally her own fault.

"Joseph should be able to transfer her away," said Sonny casually.

"It is the school who hires her. What can he do?" replied Kathy.

Zofia had dropped out of Ocean University. It would be hard for her to find a job like that.

Staying in University F was actually a good choice for her.

"I thought he was afraid that it might upset you," Sonny's tone somehow made Kathy uncomfortable.



"It won't. It's all about making a living," she said drily.

"Well, if it were me, I wouldn't make my girlfriend jealous."
