Chapter 350 Want To Be Closer To You


    Not long after, the door of the examination room was opened and the doctor came out.


    Zofia had already waked up, but her emotions were still very unstable.


    “The patient has been through a shock, for now I would rmend some medication to aid the


    treatment. The family members may go in now.”


    Bertie stood at the door and did not go in, he only watched as Kathy apanied her.


    Zofia stared at the ceiling unblinkingly. She only turned slowly after a long while.


    “Where is this?”


    “The hospital,” Kathy helped her sit up worriedly.


    Zofia’splexion was so pale it was terrifying, the fear at the bottom of her eyes still dwindled.


    “Oh.”


    “It’s alright now, Zofia,” Kathy hugged her. Her temperature was very low, and her body was still


    trembling.


    It was the fear deep inside her bones.


    “Can I be released from the hospital?”


    “The doctor is giving you a prescription, let me go ask.”


    As she said so, Kathy wanted to go out. But Zofia hung onto her on instinct, “Don’t leave…”


    She lowered her eyes, the tears in her eyes moistened her entire eye socket.


    Kathy’s heart ached even more for her.


    “I really am weak, I can’t ept myself like this,” Zofia mumbled.


    “It’s not your fault, Zofia.”


    “It’s my fault.”


    Kathy looked at Zofia. She was already deep in self-me, and it was hard for her to get out.


    Leaning in Kathy’s embrace, Zofia fell asleep not long after. There were some sedatives in the drip and


    it could help to release her nervous emotions.


    Kathy helped her to lie down, and Bertie had alreadye in unknowingly.


    “I’ll apany her tonight, she can only be released from the hospital tomorrow.”


    Kathy looked at the time, it was already night time.

    “I should stay,” Kathy still felt guilty over this incident.


    “You don’t have to feel guilty, this incident was not your fault, Zofia’s very strong.”


    Kathy was silent and she still did not leave.


    Bertie saw that he could not convince her otherwise, so he decided to go out to buy her something to


    eat.


    “Do you have anything you want to eat?”


    “I’m okay with anything,” Kathy was not in the mood for eating.


    Looking at Zofia’s unpeaceful expression while sleeping, she wiped off the hot sweat which kept


    dripping from her face.


    Suddenly, a voice sounded from outside.


    “Zofia!”


    From outside, Veronica came in on a wheelchair nervously. Joseph followed her in.


    “Why did this happen to Zofia!” Veronica targeted Kathy in a reprimanding tone.


    “Our car was followed…”


    She had not finished her words when Veronica already clutched onto Kathy furiously, she raised her


    hand wanting to p her.


    Joseph blocked Veronica almost immediately, protecting Kathy in his embrace.


    “What are you messing around for!”


    Veronica’s eyes widened, the tears in her eyes almost falling.


    “It must be that she had done something that had caused Zofia to be harmed,” Veronica’s tone was


    extreme.


    Joseph pulled her aside, as his dark eyes squinted coldly.


    “Since I promised to bring you here, you better behave yourself!”


    Veronica bit onto her lip furiously, her eyes still ring at Kathy in fury.


    Kathy came to her senses, and on instinct she wanted to push Joseph away.


    Yet he held onto her very tightly.


    “Joseph…” Kathy looked at him.


    The man’s expression went cold as he ordered John who was behind him, “Bring the young mistress


    back.”


    As she heard this, Veronica shook her head and refused.


    “No… I don’t want to go back, I want to stay and apany Zofia.”


    But Joseph obviously did not concur, as John already came in and forced her onto her wheelchair and


    wheeled her out.


    Veronica’s sightnded on Kathy mefully, “It’s your fault… Kathy…”


    Kathy was stone faced, she ignored Veronica, but she was displeased that Veronica disturbed Zofia


    resting.


    “This is a hospital, can’t you allow Zofia to rest properly?”


    Kathy sat down beside Zofia, but she saw that she had awaken without her knowing.


    Although she did not open her eyes, but her longshes fluttered.


    Veronica did not speak but frustration shed in her eyes.


    When she saw Kathy, she had indeed been too impulsive.


    “Brother, I want to stay here,” when she calmed down, she grasped onto the leg of her brother’s


    trousers hopefully.


    Joseph’s view was still on Kathy. He frowned and said coldly, “You only have half an hour.”


    “Zofia,” seeing that Zofia kept blinking, Kathy called to her quietly.


    She opened her eyes slowly, her emotions were already a lot more better.


    When she saw Veronica, she smiled feebly.


    “Why are you here, Veronica?”


    “I’m worried about you,” Veronica came near pushing her wheelchair.


    Kathy helped Zofia to sit up. Veronica apanied her while Kathy went outside to take Zofia’s


    medication.


    When she passed by Joseph, her eyesnded on him uncontrobly, but she turned away very quickly.


    And Joseph who was behind her followed her outside as well.


    The silent corridor echoed with the clear, synchronised sounds of footsteps of the two.


    When they walked into the elevator, Kathy wanted to press the lift button but Joseph’s hand was


    already stretched over.


    Her fingertipsnded on the back of his hand. When she wanted to retreat, Joseph already grasped her


    hand even quickly.


    Kathy retreated as if she was almost hiding.


    “Let go of me!” She was a little angry.


    Joseph squinted his eyes, the coldness in his eyes slowly arose.


    He replied coldly, “What if I don’t?”


    Kathy bit her lip and wanted to pull her hand away forcefully, but she was no match for Joseph.


    “What do you want!” She was furious.


    “I just want to be closer to you,” Joseph stared at her heatedly.


    To purposely tell Veronica about Zofia being injured, just for him to see Kathy. Even he himself felt


    strange to a him like this.


    Kathy stunned, as if she had heard the weakness from Joseph’s words.


    It must have been her imagination.


    How could he have emotions like this.


    “Mr Joseph, don’t make jokes like this simply,” Kathy replied coldly.


    As she said this, she retreated again and finally pulled her hand away.


    But at this moment, the door of the elevator opened. Kathy did not realised this but her entire person


    was about to fall backwards, and Joseph held onto her stably.


    She leaned on his chest, her nose filled with the familiar scent.


    “I never make jokes,” she heard his clear voice.


    When they came back to the ward, Veronica and Zofia seemed like they were whispering. When she


    saw Kathying in, Veronica immediately stopped talking.


    “It’s about time, follow me home,” Joseph came in.


    Veronica pouted, it was obvious that she was unwilling.


    She and Zofia had not many chances of meeting, and they missed each other very much.


    “Brother, I want to stay for tonight,” Veronica said hard-headedly.


    “Stop messing around.”


    “I’m not messing around.”


    As the two was about to get into a fight, Zofia said quickly, “Veronica, you can leave first. My brother


    will apany me when he’s back.”


    “But…”


    “I’m alright now, you don’t have to worry,” Zofiaforted Veronica instead.


    But her feeble smile made Veronica’s heart ache further.


    She knew how scared Zofia was.


    “Then I’ll visit you tomorrow.”


    On the car, Veronica looked at her brother who was sitting on the driver’s seat.


    She said in a serious tone, “Brother, I’vee to a decision.”


    “Yes?”


    “I’m going to apply for Ocean University.”
