My Sweetheart

Chapter 523 It's My Honor

When Kathy got to the ward, Zofia had just finished her examination. She could be discharged from the hospital tomorrow.

Zofia looked at Kathy and smiled weakly. "Kathy, you're so nice to come and see me."

"I'm worried about you." Kathy frowned. She remembered what Sonny had said yesterday. She didn't expect that Zofia broke up with him because of this accident. They used to be a loving couple.

Love is sometimes so fragile that it makes people sigh.

"Thanks. But you don't have to worry about me. You should go back to school."

"Alright, call me if you need anything."

Kathy turned to leave with a frown. Zofia couldn't help but start trembling while she stared at Kathy's back.

Kathy couldn't light up until she went back to school. She didn't even realize that the car had stopped.

"Kathy." Joseph held her hand, and she finally noticed they had arrived at the school.

"Then I'll go to the class. See you Friday." Kathy turned around and gently leaned against Joseph's chest.

"Don't get too worried about Zofia, OK?"

"Yeah, I won't. She must have a reason to break up with Sonny."

Kathy had another busy week at school. She was in Dona's class this week, but Reece was also in the class most of the time.

Until Friday, students got the email about their internship in the hospital. Dona could only bring one student with her. As a doctoral student, Reece could bring two. If students wanted to follow the other professors, they should apply on his own.

Kathy looked at the email. She would not choose Reece. But there were quite a few students who had signed up for Professor Dona's class. And Joseph? He was the most popular professor.

Each student had two choices. Kathy thought about it for a while. Then Dona became her first choice, and Joseph was the second.

But when she got the result on Friday, she was arranged to intern with Reece.

Kathy just couldn't believe it.

But Friday was the first day of her internship in the hospital. Kathy had to go there no matter how reluctant she was.

Kathy saw Reece after she got out of the dormitory. He was leaning against a black car and looked very handsome, attracted the attention of many girls.

However, he remained indifferent before Kathy got down.

"Oh, Reece, it's you." Kathy looked annoyed.

She believed that Reece must have pulled some strings, so that she had to intern with him.

"Are you surprised?"

"Yes, very surprised. I don't want to follow you." Kathy was a little angry.

"Since the school has decided it, we'd better do it. Let's go. I'll drive you to the hospital." Reece opened the car door.

But Kathy walked past him and took the bus.

Reece looked very gloomy when he sat in the car. He had been too proud to chase a girl.

But as Kathy walk away, Reece got very annoyed about her.

After arriving at the hospital, Kathy reported for duty first. Then she went to Reece's office.

Reece only had one student now. And it was Kathy.

Although Reece hadn't graduated with a doctorate, he had been a leading surgeon a few years ago. He had won quite a few honors, and he had even been named the Doctor of the Year in Country F.

Kathy used to see Reece as a cold businessman for a long time. But she didn't know that Reece was a good doctor at the same time.

Not long after, Reece got to his office. When he put on his white coat, he looked way less gloomy.

"Come here." Reece raised his chin at Kathy.

"Dr Bridges," Kathy replied in a bland tone.

"You should write a study report every day. This is an example." Reece handed her a document.

"Alright." Kathy took it over and read it carefully.

Reece started working soon. Kathy felt that interning with him was as stressful as the time when she interned with Joseph.

Sometimes, Kathy couldn't keep up with Reece and made a lot of mistakes.

However, the most important thing was that they did not quite understand each other.

Then Kathy realized that Joseph was very considerate when she interned with him. He gave her the knowledge and waited for her to digest it. Reece, on the other hand, was much quicker. He had seen all the patients in the morning.

His efficiency impressed Kathy. However, it was difficult for her to digest the knowledge slowly since Reece checked all his patients so soon.

"What do you want for lunch?" After finishing his work, Reece became gentler.

"I'll grab a bite later." Kathy was reading the files. She was trying hard to complement what she was learning.

Reece leaned to her and pointed at the file. "Although carbamazepine is very effective in controlling partial seizures, especially complex partial seizures, it has serious adverse drug reactions...."

Kathy immediately took notes. But then someone knocked on the door.

It was the nurse at Reece's office.

"Dr Bridges, there's a meeting in the department at three o'clock in the afternoon."

"I see. Could you leave us alone?"

They were very close to each other. The nurse looked at them and felt so jealous. But nobody noticed it.

It was noon. Kathy did not eat with Reece. She remembered that Joseph was also in the hospital, so she planned to eat with him.

However, she couldn't get through to Joseph. So, she went to the neurology department.

Ella was sitting in the nurses' station, and she stopped Kathy.

"Dr Joseph is still working," Ella said coldly.

Kathy looked at the time. She didn't need to attend the meeting in the afternoon. So, she just waited for Joseph outside.

After an hour, Joseph finally finished his work and walked out. However, Ella immediately handed him the lunch box. "Dr Joseph, here's your lunch."

Joseph frowned at her. He looked up and saw Kathy not far away.

"See if other doctors need it."

After saying that, Joseph strode towards Kathy.

"You're here for your internship?"

"Yeah. Professor Joseph, may I have lunch with you?" Kathy stretched out her hand.

Joseph held it tightly.

"Sure. It's my honor."

"Dr Joseph, you have a meeting at one o'clock. It's too late to go out for lunch." Ella saw that they were going out, so she couldn't help but run to stop them.

"Tell Professor Lee: I'm not attending the meeting."

"But...."

Ella muttered, wanting to say something else. But Joseph had walked away into the distance.

When the elevator door closed, Kathy thought of Ella's eyes. Ella seemed very reluctant to part with Joseph. And Kathy got a little jealous that Ella, Joseph's admirer, stayed with him every day.

"Does Miss Bridges prepare lunch for you every day?" Kathy asked casually.

"The hospital orders lunch for us," Joseph explained patiently.

"And she will take it to you?" Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

"No, my assistant will do that."

"I see." Kathy puffed up her cheeks.

She felt a little uncomfortable even though she knew that there would be nothing going on between Joseph and Ella.

"You're arranged to intern with Reece?" Joseph asked.

"Yeah. I don't know why," Kathy muttered.

"If you want, I can transfer you to my office." Joseph could really do that.
