My Sweetheart Chapter 406 I Will Make Her Stay Put

Kathy went to the hospital in the afternoon. Benedict was holding a special consultation session today
and hence she needed to be there.

On the way, she went to pick up some documents. Ella was on duty.

“Miss Bridges，I need these, please,” said Kathy as she handed the form she filled out earlier.

Ella answered with a slight arrogance, “This form had some information crossed out on it. I need you to
fill out a new one.”

Kathy frowned, this wasn’t a requirement she knew of.

But she needed to get the documents over soon, so she quickly filled out a new form.

Ella walked over to get some water. She deliberately bumped into Kathy and the water in the cup spilt
all over.

The newly filled out form was now all wet and soggy.

Kathy looked grim, she knew that Ella did it on purpose!

Ella pretended to be apologetic, “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to…”

“Ella, I really need these documents. The professor has already started his consultation,” said Kathy in
a harsh tone.

But Ella moved slower than ever, “Even so, we still need to follow the protocol. I cannot give you
special treatment, you know?”

“There’s a camera here, it records everything you’ve done. I will complain about you if you keep
interrupting my work on purpose. I think you are not officially employed yet, right Miss Bridges?”



Ella’s face turned pale, she glared at Kathy angrily.

But she did notice that there was a camera and didn’t dare to pull any stunts anymore.

She had some connections here, but she shouldn’t be stirring up unnecessary trouble.

She grabbed the form that Kathy handed in from the start and found the documents that were needed.

“Thank you.”

Kathy was only done with work around the evening. It was already nighttime by the time she finished
up everything.

She planned to eat after she got back to the university. Unanticipatedly, she saw Joseph walking into
the hospital building just when she was going to leave.

Their eyes met.

Kathy remained emotionless and she quickly looked away.

Their shoulders touched and Kathy could smell that familiar scent from him. She felt a tingle in her
nose.

Joseph didn’t even glance at her.

Bertie watched them from afar and he grimaced.

“Kathy, let me send you home.” Bertie drove closer to Kathy when he saw that she was going to take
the bus.

Kathy ignored him, she continued walking to the bus stop.



Bertie followed her patiently. He drove behind the bus after Kathy got on the bus. He trailed the vehicle
until she got off the bus at the university stop.

He parked his car at the entrance, and he called his assistant.

“How is the investigation going?”

“I’ve already forwarded the information about the Bridges family to your email. Ella and Joseph are
getting married next month.”

Bertie grabbed his phone tightly hearing the news.

…

Time passed in a blink of an eye and it was Friday. Kathy went to the classroom earlier than usual. To
her surprise, Joseph was already in the classroom.

A few students surrounded him, and they were discussing something.

Kathy tried to read her book, but the people sitting close to her was gossiping loudly.

“Is Professor Joseph really getting married to Ella?”

“Who is Ella? Is she good enough for our dear Professor Joseph?”

“I don’t know, but I heard that she works as a nurse at Ocean University’s hospital.

“How did someone like her caught Professor Joseph’s eyes? I hate it…my crush…is going to become
someone else’s husband…”

Kathy frowned, the gossiping bunch finally stopped when the class was about to start.



Joseph’s classes were always very interesting. The atmosphere in the class was nice and the students
took part proactively in the assignments given.

But she was in a daze…

Joseph walked up to her and tapped his slender finger on the table.

Kathy froze. She looked up and there was a hint of unsettledness in her eyes.

She knew that Joseph hated it when his student daydreamed in his class.

“Professor Joseph,” said Kathy as she stood up worryingly.

“Answer my question from just now,” said Joseph sternly.

Kathy tried to look at the screen, but there was nothing on it…

“Sorry, I wasn’t paying attention just now.” Kathy bit the bullet and told the truth.

“Come to me after class.”

Kathy thought that Joseph was going to scold and maybe even punish her. But instead, he left her with
such gentle words…

Kathy was stunned, her classmates were taken aback too.

Kathy sat down and what Joseph just said kept repeating in her head. Though, she didn’t dare to not
pay attention in class anymore.

During Benedict’s class she could concentrate throughout the whole class without any problem, why
couldn’t she do the same during Joseph’s class…



Kathy went to Joseph’s office after class and waited for him.

She felt a bit irritated knowing that she had to be alone with him.

She stood by the window and saw Joseph walking towards the office. He was wearing a white dress
shirt and a pair of black slacks. He looked noble and elegant. He had a gentle expression on his face,
but he gave off the feeling that he didn’t want people coming too close to him.

A few female students were following him around and they had looks of love and admiration in their
eyes. This made Kathy even more irritated.

Kathy was doing her work when Joseph came into the office.

He walked closer and sat opposite of her.

“Sorry, I was occupied recently and couldn’t give you extra classes,” said Joseph.

“It’s okay, I will revise properly on my own,” answered Kathy plainly.

“What were you thinking about during class?” Joseph looked at her with heated eyes.

Kathy didn’t want to get drown in her feelings anymore. She looked at his perfectly neat dress shirt
collar and said, “It’s some private matter. You shouldn’t poke your nose into it, Professor Joseph.”

“I want to know,” answered Joseph.

Kathy snickered, “No can do.”

Suddenly, his phone rang. Kathy was sitting close to the phone, she lowered her head slightly and saw
who was the one calling.



Ella.

“I’ll be taking my leave. You are a busy man, Professor Joseph. I shouldn’t take up your precious time
for extra classes.”

Joseph called out to her when she was about to leave the office. He had already hung up the call.

“Kathy.”

“Is there anything else about the class that you want to talk to me about, Professor Joseph?” Kathy
turned around and the expression in her eyes was bleak and frigid.

Joseph pressed his lips together, there was a ruthless look in his eyes but he quickly suppressed it.

“I will keep my promises. Come here tonight for the extra lessons, I will be waiting,” said Joseph in a
deep tone of voice.

Kathy frowned unhappily, “Miss Bridges will be mad if you go home late right, Professor Joseph?”

“I don’t live with her,” answered Joseph coldly.

“But I don’t want to be alone with you. I will get in trouble with Miss Bridges if she finds out about it,”
responded Kathy.

Ella was already giving her a lot of problems in the hospital. Kathy just wanted to do her postgraduate
in peace.

“I will tell her to stay put.”

“The best way to make her stay put is that we keep a distance with each other, Professor Joseph.”

She kept calling him Professor Joseph as a way to emphasize their current relationship.



Joseph had a glum expression on his face.

He grabbed onto her wrist as she was about to leave. He then closed the door and slightly pushed her
against the wall.

Kathy glared at him furiously, “Joseph, enough!”

Joseph didn’t say anything back. He squinted his eyes and locked his gaze onto her.
