My Sweetheart

“Why do you change them?”

“Come to hospital. I will give you the answer.”

But Kathy said, “… I have something to do.”

“See you.” Joseph hung off the call soon.

Just the moment, Kathy realized Joseph always waited for her to hang off first when they had a call before.

She started to be disappointed with him.

But Kathy got to think about Joseph’s saying on the phone. To change the team?

It was like that there would be all new colleagues here when she came here next week.

Although it was the first stage of the research, the whole process would be postponed by his decision.

Kathy left the lab with worry and told it to Zofia.

Zofia asked, “What’s wrong with you in your lab? I think Joseph did it with purpose.”

Kathy answered, “The colleagues there don’t like me.” In fact, she did not care about their attitude.

Zofia said, “That’s why he would like to do. Joseph loves you too much to see you unhappy there.”

Kathy frowned, “He does not…”

“So, he doesn’t do it for you.”

Kathy kept silent; actually, she was eager to know why he made the decision.

She hated to make the process slow for her personal problem.

Kathy started to say, “I am going to the hospital.”

“Hey, will you come back later? Anyway, I will lock our room door.”

“Yes, I will go back soon.”

“Don’t fool me.”

“Don’t lock the door.”

Half an hour later, Kathy got to the hospital and walked directly to Joseph’s premier room.

It was almost mid-night when nobody was on the corridor. There was so quiet that she even could hear the noise of her own steps.

Kathy stopped at the door outside his room.

After a while, Joseph said, “Come in.”
