My Sweetheart

Kathy took a deep breath and was going to leave with the bag in her hand.

Feeling much relieved now, she would not like to come again, no more worried or concerned about him.

Joseph stayed in the room of hospital, unable to continue his work.

Seeing John leaving him, he asked him with hesitation, “Just now, I was too mean?”

He remembered how horribly Kathy was looking at him, almost crying out.

In turn, Joseph had never been an emotional man to Kathy.

John did not give an answer at once; actually, he dared not say “yes”. Who would take the risk to talk about the boss mean in front of boss himself?

He had to answer his boss seriously, “No, absolutely not. Mr. Joseph.”

Joseph narrowed his eyes to say, “Really?”

John was so nervous to have some sweat, “Sure…of course.”

When Kathy back to the school room, Zofia was surprised to see her.

She asked Kathy, “Won’t you be with him tonight?”

Kathy answered peacefully, “No, I won’t.”

Zofia watched her to say, “You are different today.”

Kathy was uncomfortable with her look…

Zofia continued to ask, “What’s his problem?”

“Fracture.”

“Oh, I’m sorry to hear that.” Zofia expected Joseph to talk about his problem more seriously than it was; he only tried to meet Kathy in this way. But it was true that he was really hurt badly.

Kathy said, “He has to be in hospital for days.”

“Will you visit him every day?”

Kathy bit her lips to answer, “I…I won’ do it.”

“Do you worry about him?”

“No. He has nothing to do with me.”

“He is your ex-husband.”
