My Sweetheart novel Chapter 24

At dusk, Kathy estimated that it would be very late to finish the lasting half of the medical records that have not been entered, and had no ideas when Joseph would finish the surgical operation. So she intended to go home alone. But Kathy was obsessive-compulsive, so she continued her work very soon.

It wasn't until 12 a.m. that Joseph came out of the operating room. Zohm Smith, the leader of the Smith family, came over and asked, "Doctor, my daughter..."

"The operation went well." Joseph briefly replied.

Zohm could not conceal his excitement and felt relieved, "Doctor Joseph, thank you so much."

Joseph remained calm as always. He went to the office immediately at the thought of Kathy.Walking before the door of his office, he told the nurse behind him, “you all stayed in Lily Smith's ward and informed me immediately if there is any situation."

In the office, Kathy, wearing rimless glasses and tucking her long hair up, was looking at the computer carefully.

Joseph stopped and softened his cool eyes.

Kathy didn't notice his coming until Joseph put his arms around her.

"Have you finished the operation?" Kathy asked gently.

"Yes." Joseph lowered his eyes. The obvious blue color below his eyes showed that he must be tired.

Kathy stared at him and lost in thought that this operation lasted ten hours from the afternoon till now.

Did he often work like this?

Kathy usually worked from nine to five on a regular basis. And she was very resistant to overtime.

But there was no such a concept of overtime in Joseph’s job. Whenever the patient needed him, he had to work at any time.

"Let's go home." Kathy sorted out all the records. She checked the time and found it would be really late after going home.

"I'm staying here tonight. I'll ask the driver to take you home and I'll pick you up tomorrow night." Joseph said.

Kathy found that there was a bedroom here in his office, with all kinds of daily necessities. It was obvious that Joseph often slept here.

"Is it OK to be alone?" Kathy asked suddenly.

Kathy forgot to ask him for the salary.

Now Joseph's mental state was very poor. He certainly ate nothing in the operating room and worked till now. So she was worried about his body.

But Joseph has been used to it for a long time. He smiled faintly and said "Mrs. Joseph is worried about me?"

Kathy nodded heavily in embarrassment.

"Take a rest and I'll buy some food for you."

Then, Kathy ran out quickly. Joseph looked at her thin figure and his eyes gradually became deep.

The driver waited outside for Kathy and respectfully opened the door at the sight of Kathy.

Kathy shook her head and said politely, "wait a moment.”

She bought simple rice congee in a hurry. When Kathy returned to the office, she found that Joseph was not there.

At this time, in the ward at the other end of the corridor, Joseph was giving emergency treatment to Lily.

Within half an hour of after the operation, Lily showed a cardiac arrest reaction and was now under the emergency treatment.

Joseph’s expression was serious. After two rounds of emergency treatment, Lily’s state was finally stabilized.

Everyone in the operation room felt relieved.

The Smith family has a great power and influence in City N and Lily Smith was the only daughter of the family. If something wrong happens to her, all the medical staff concerned will be in trouble.

Joseph shouldered great responsibilities for taking this patient in.

"Doctor Joseph, please stay by her side. I'm afraid that Lily can't make it through..." When Joseph was leaving, Zohm came to stop him and said.
