My Sweetheart

Chapter 435 Enjoying the Process of Dating

That night, Kathy saw Joseph bring a bag in, and reach for it curiously. “What did you bring me?”

“Formal attire.” At her baffled look, he elaborated, “You can leave the hospital tomorrow. That night you’ll accompany me to a banquet, hmm?”

Joseph caught her up against him, murmuring against her hair, “Kathy, if you don’t stop this, when you get out the hospital I’ll take you home and not let you leave.”
