My Sweetheart novel Chapter 377

"Joseph, you've no right to control everything about me." Kathy's tone was slightly cold.

"Get them out of here," Joseph ordered the bodyguard, as if he didn't hear Kathy's reply.

As Kathy watched Zofia being taken out, she was worried.

"Brother…" Zofia asked Bertie for help.

But he was no match for these bodyguards, and there must be a reason for Joseph to do this.

He was relieved that he had made sure Kathy was safe, for now at least.

"Let's go back first," Bertie said.

Bertie was always good at judging situations, and they wouldn't have the upper hand if they made trouble on Joseph's turf.

"Kathy, I'll visit you again."

The ward soon quieted down, and Kathy's eyes became frosty as she stared at Joseph.

She couldn't see through him at all.

"Kathy, I have to do this for your safety."

After adjusting his mood, Joseph approached her, bent down and said in a deep voice.

Kathy, however, turned a deaf ear to his words and said indifferently, "Are you imprisoning me?"

Zofia couldn't visit her; the Booths were kept in the dark about it and only he, the man who had divorced her, was with her.

Kathy just felt crept out being with him.

"I'm doing this for your safety," Joseph stressed repeatedly.

"I don't think I'll be safe with you." Kathy stared at him.

Sure enough, Joseph's face took on a ghastly expression.

He was even angrier than he was a moment ago.

But Kathy was not afraid to make direct eye contact with him.

"You've no choice."

"I want to be transferred," Kathy said in a deep voice.

She didn't want to stay here, where Joseph was.

His control just made her want nothing more than to run away from him.

"Don't even think about it!"

Kathy ignored him and took out her phone. She could only contact Jennifer to pick her up.

But in the next second, her phone was taken away from her by Joseph, who even turned off the light in the ward.

"You should go to bed early. Don’t overthink the problem."

With that, he left the ward. There was only a soft light in the ward, and Kathy couldn't see her surroundings clearly.

She was heartbroken and disappointed.

Outside the ward, Joseph leaned against the wall, a sinister expression gradually erupting on his face.

He had always been a man with great endurance, but all his self-control would collapse as long as he was confronted with Kathy.

After a while, John came over with a palpitating heart.

Joseph had spent all day in the hospital for these two days, and had actually left a lot of work behind in Joseph's group.

"Boss, here is all the information about the new drug recently launched by the Hilton Group, LT Drug.”

Only then did Joseph settle his mind and took over the document.

LT Drug, LI Drug, even the names of the medicines were so similar.

It was bound to mislead the customers.

"File a complaint with the FDA and collect more evidence," Joseph commanded.

"I get it."

"Anything else?" Joseph frowned as he saw that John hadn't left yet.

"Currently, the perpetrator of Miss Kathy's car accident has turned himself in, but I found out that he was a bodyguard that Billy used to hire."

There was no trace of surprise on Joseph's face.

"Is there anything unusual about Billy lately?"

"He has been looking into Miss Kathy's whereabouts."

When Joseph heard John's words, the ruthlessness flashed across Joseph's eyes.

"Make sure the security measures here are perfect. I don't want what just happened to happen again. No one is allowed in here."

Kathy stayed awake until the next morning.

Her gaze was fixed on the closed door. She couldn't get out of bed by herself, so she had no choice but to wait for Joseph to come in.

But in fact, he was outside the door all along and never left.

She spent a sleepless night, and so did he.

A little while later, Jade came in with a tray of breakfast, but Joseph didn't come in.

Kathy looked at the familiar woman in front of her and remembered that she seemed to have been Joseph's personal nurse.

"Miss Kathy, let's have breakfast," Jade said gently.

Kathy withdrew her surveying gaze and said, "please call Joseph in for me.'

Jade frowned. Dr. Joseph... was just outside the door.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing that Jade seemed to be on the horns of a dilemma, Kathy was a little apprehensive.

"I'll ask him for you later." She nodded.

Walking out of the ward, Jade looked at the man leaning against the wall, who had been standing here all night without taking a rest.

For Kathy's sake, he was always willing to risk his own life.

"She's looking for you," Jade said.

Joseph nodded, yet he walked into the office on the other side of the ward.

At the Booth Group.

Jennifer still hadn't heard from Kathy, and she even called Bertie over early in the morning.

He had a great influence here and should be able to help.

"Mrs. Booth." Bertie greeted Jennifer respectfully upon seeing her.

"Have you heard from Kathy?"

"She is with Joseph." Bertie frowned.

"I know, but I can't find where Joseph is."

"I think Joseph is protecting her," Bertie said in a deep voice.

"Kathy is my daughter, and it's our business to protect her!" Jennifer yelled in anger.

"You know where Kathy is, don't you?" Jennifer narrowed her eyes.

Bertie nodded slowly, knitting his eyebrows grimly.

…

At the hospital.

It wasn't until noon that Kathy saw Joseph. He had changed the shirt he wore yesterday and was wearing a casual white T-shirt and black pants now, but the fatigue on his face was still undisguised.

Kathy didn't have breakfast, and even the lunch that had just been brought in.

Joseph's face clouded over, standing in front of Kathy. She didn't look at him, closing her eyes without falling asleep.

"Kathy." His voice was deep and husky.

Kathy opened her eyes when she heard his call, looking at him with indifference and derision.

"Eat." There was a domineering command in his tone of voice.

Kathy ignored his words and said, "When are you going to give me back my phone?"

"You must promise me one condition."

"What's it?"

"You can't tell anyone that you're here."

Kathy sneered, "It seems that you have treated this place as your home rather than a hospital."

"Do as I say, Kathy." Joseph's tone was softened.

But Kathy was not to be dissuaded at all.

"Joseph, if I get the phone back, I'll call the police immediately!"

Joseph's expression remained indifferent and didn't get angry at Kathy's words.

"Eat something before you have the strength to call the police, otherwise I'll have to ask the nurse to give you an IV drip."

Kathy bit her lips hard. In front of him, she seemed to be a puppet that he could manipulate at will.

Taking a deep breath, she picked up the spoon, but as soon as she took a bite, she couldn't help but spit it all out.

Joseph held Kathy's shoulder, but she immediately shook his hand off viciously.

The disgust in her eyes was so obvious.

After rinsing her mouth, Kathy continued to eat.

Joseph stood in front of her, but she bowed her head and remained silent.

"When can I get out of the hospital?"

"Soon if you eat well."

"How long are you going to imprison me?" Kathy threw up another question.

She didn't know Joseph's intention, but the deprivation of freedom was unbearable for her.

"You think I'm imprisoning you?" Joseph's look was frosty and sullen.

"Absolutely." Kathy sneered.

She didn't feel like she was recuperating at all.

Joseph didn't say a word, and his eyes were terrifying.

After a while, he slammed the door and left sullenly.

Kathy looked down at the light dishes, which were actually to her liking, her tears inexplicably welling up in her eyes.
