My Sweetheart

Chapter 229 I Won’t Fall for Other Women

“What are you going to do?” Kathy asked anxiously.

After all, she had been working in NCHV for five years, so she didn’t want anything bad to happen to it.

However, the business world was ruthless, not to mention that NCHV had long lost its glow.

“I will get to the bottom of this. But NCHV might fall apart,” Joseph said in a deep voice.

Kathy was surprised. Looking at Joseph’s cold face, she knew that he had already made up his mind.

“Have you checked all those drugs?”

Joseph asked John to bring the drugs over. “They contain components that can damage the nerves and heart. For patients with heart failure, long-term consumption can lead to death.”

Kathy’s face turned pale.

Her hands trembled as she took the medicine. Her suspicion came true.

“Who could it be?”

She murmured.

“I’ll go to the hospital first. Mrs. Hilton can’t take any more of these.” With that, Kathy walked out with her bag in hand.

Joseph forcefully grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his embrace, sounding unhappy, “Kathy, you want to get your hands dirty with the Hilton’s mess?”

“Yes.” She nodded without hesitation, “Joseph, this is a matter of life and death!”

Joseph squinted dangerously, staring at her without blinking, anger surging in his eyes.

Kathy could not understand him, but his indifference chilled her.

She pushed him away. “I’ll be back later tonight.”

Then she quickly left.

Joseph looked at her back and the sinister look in his eyes became obvious.

When John entered, he felt sick from the smell of smoke in the room.

After all, Joseph rarely smoked, unless something was weighing on him.

John was observant, realizing that his boss was in a bad mood.

He braced himself, “Mr. Joseph, I’ve found out everything about Jennifer’s miscarriage 25 years ago.”

Taking the files, Joseph scanned the content as his expression turned cold.

After a while, the documents were shattered in his hands.

“Who else knows about this?”

“The medical staff in that operation room back then are no longer in City N. That leaves us only the clients.”

The clients..., Linda, and Angela.

“Mr. Joseph, Billy is also investigating this,” John said.

“You know what to do. Don’t let him find out anything,” Joseph instructed him.

In the hospital.

Kathy was walking slowing. She didn’t know how to tell Jennifer about the medicine.

Perhaps she should first tell Billy about this and ask him to straighten it out.

When she arrived at the ward, she found no one. After asking the nurse who was passing by, she found out that Jennifer had been discharged in the afternoon.

Frowning, she dialed Billy’s number.

“I am Kathy.”

“This is the first time you’ve called me,” Billy said mockingly.

Kathy pursed her lips, somewhat surprised, too.

“I want to talk to you about Mrs. Hilton.”

Half an hour later, they met at a coffee shop.

Kathy looked out of the window, absent-minded. Thinking of Joseph’s cold face, she knew that he wouldn’t help her in this.

His helping her look into the medicine was something that happened once in a blue moon.

Billy was late and sat down opposite Kathy. Looking at her calm face, he was getting less annoyed.

Passion flashed in his eyes but he hid it.

“Why did Mrs. Hilton leave the hospital so soon?” Kathy asked.

“She’s fine now. I should be glad. Because of my mother, you finally don’t reject me that much.” Billy curled his thin lips.

“I am here for Mrs. Hilton’s illness.” Kathy avoided his gaze.

Giving him the test report, she said calmly, “I took her drugs for testing last night. They are not what they should be. I think someone must have switched them.”

Billy’s eyes turned cold as he read the report, clenching his fists.

Then he looked up with a sullen expression.

“How did you know?”

“At first, I was only suspicious. I felt that Mrs. Hilton’s symptoms were unusual, and her medical record was flawed. I was just trying to figure things out, but I didn’t expect…,” Kathy said with concern.

“Kathy, thank you this time. I will look into this.”

“Did Joseph help you with the drugs?” Billy asked.

She nodded, “Yes.”

Billy sneered, “Got it.”

“It’s so late. I’ll drive you back.”

Kathy shook her head. “The driver is waiting for me outside. No need to trouble you.”

Billy looked at her back and his black eyes gradually narrowed.

Returning to the Hilton’s, Billy went to his mother’s room.

“I just went to see Kathy.” Billy helped his mother sit up.

“That child didn’t know that I was discharged, right? She must have gone there for nothing.”

“She’s very concerned about you. Last night, she took your medicine for a check. Mom, there’s something wrong with it.”

Jennifer looked up and her hands trembled.

“The Josephs are going to make a move,” She murmured, not surprised.

Billy frowned. “Recently, NCHV has suffered a lot, but I still can’t find the chance to take action against the Joseph’s Group.”

His target was always the Joseph’s Group, but Joseph was discreet, so he could only start with NCHV.

“Billy, it is a herculean task to take down the Joseph’s Group. With Joseph as its president, we need to plan thoroughly,” Jennifer said in a deep voice.

“But the Josephs are losing their patience,” Billy said coldly.

“Joseph’s weakness is Kathy.”

“You can’t touch her,” Jennifer immediately retorted.

“Mom, what is she to you?” Billy asked coldly.

Billy could tell that Jennifer was protecting Kathy.

“It’s not your business. I like that child very much. You can’t hurt her.”

“I also like her. I want her to be your daughter-in-law.” Billy smiled.

Jennifer panicked. She knew Billy had a crush on Kathy, but that wouldn’t do.

“I’ve set up a blind date for you and the Smith girl. Kathy is not the right one for you.”

“Why? You like her, and I also like her. Isn’t this perfect?” Billy raised his eyebrows.

“She can’t help you in your career. With this formidable opponent, the Josephs, you need someone who comes from a family as ours.”

“Mom, I don’t need any help, and I won’t fall for other women.” Billy frowned.

He had been losing control around Kathy. He wanted her!

It could only be her.

Jennifer looked at her son’s eyes and was shocked.

She wanted to say something, but failed.

She knew Billy. He had stronger desire for the seemingly impossible.

He had been a tough kid.

“Anyway, not Kathy. This ends now.”

Billy’s face darkened and he stormed out. However, before closing the door, he reminded her, “Don’t take that medicine again. I’ll go see the doctor with you tomorrow to find out about this.”
