Chapter 208 That's My Girl

It's cold today, but I'd like to be your sunshine and give you warmth.

The night before had been a complete disaster, and she needed to calm him. To Kate's surprise, she immediately received a reply.

Good morning, darling!

Expecting Joseph to be asleep, she was thrilled to get a response. She asked:

It's only six o'clock in the morning, why are you awake so early?

I'm at your door now.

At the door?

Kate jumped up out of bed and rushed to the door. It was still dark outside and the mist blurred everything but she could see a tall silhouette on the porch. She opened the door then suddenly Joseph pulled her into his arms and kissed her.

When he let her go, Kate whispered, "I am so sleepy…"

Joseph worried, "Baby, what's the matter?"

She clutched his arm in her hand and said in distress, "My head hurts..."

"I am taking you to the hospital."

**

In the hospital, the doctor explained, "The patient appears to have hypoglycemia and insufficient rest, thus causing dizziness and a headache. I will give her some medication."

"Good and thank you," Joseph sighed as he looked at Kate. He said, "The doctor suggests that you should be hospitalized for observation, you…"

"No!" Kate refused without hesitation, "I heard the conversation. I just have a headache from not sleeping. I will be fine if I get some rest."

"All right," Joseph agreed.

After the nurse brought Kate her medication, she and Joseph left the hospital.

"Is coming back to my house, okay?" Joseph asked cautiously.

His tone made Kate feel guilty. She knew that their argument was her fault but before she could apologize she was at the hospital.

"Sure," She took his arm and leaned her head against it.

When they arrived home, Joseph led her to the bedroom. He put his arms around her then stroked her head, "Just get some sleep, I'm here."

His voice, and his embrace, assured her that everything was okay and that she was safe. She fell into a deep sleep and woke up a few hours later feeling much better. However, Joseph still wanted her to take more medication for her headache.

Kate complained, "It's too bitter, I don't want to take it."

"Bitter?" Joseph looked at the pills, "The doctor didn't mention anything about that when I asked. Besides, good medicine usually does taste bitter. Just take it!"

Reluctantly Kate opened her mouth, Joseph tried not to laugh as she sat looking like a young child waiting to be fed. He smiled, "That's my girl!"

She chewed the medication then frowned, "You lied! They are bitter!"

Trying not to laugh at Joseph's tone, she took a drink and swallowed her pills.

Without any notice, Joseph grabbed her shoulders and kissed her, she was weak in his arms.

"Do you still feel bitter?" His deep eyes glared at her as if he was trying to pull her into him.

So that's what he meant.

She pursed lips, the bitterness from the pills was gone, only the taste of kisses was left. She thought about how shy she used to be but now she was comfortable with his flirting and affectionate behavior.

"I am fine," Her face flushed. Looking at him, she asked, "When did you go to my house?"

"What do you mean?"

Kate lowered her head awkwardly.

"It's not your fault; I feel pretty overwhelmed. As your boyfriend, I can't even help you when you are hurting," Joseph leaned his head against the headboard.

Cuddling up next to him, Kate said, "You are a great boyfriend. I was out of line."

"I wanted to call you when I arrived, but I didn't. I thought it might upset you," Joseph confessed. He was relieved to see that her light was still on. He had planned to talk to her as soon as she woke up, but she texted him first.

"So, you slept in the car again last night?" Even though his car was fancy, a bed was more comfortable. She felt troubled, "Don't do that again!"

"Well, that depends on my girlfriend."

"Are you blaming me?" She was not afraid of his comment at all but wanted to tease him.

"Oh no, I am not. I just want to figure out what happened last night?"

"Joseph, I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have lost my temper. It was my problem, but you had to..." She whispered.

Joseph grabbed her hand and said sternly, "I don't want an apology from you. I want to work on our problems together. Don't hide anything from me anymore, alright?"

Both of them knew they had the same discussion before, but Kate would always go back on her promise when it came to telling him things. She was so frustrated with the situation between her and Daisy. She sobbed, "I just realize that I truly can't handle relationships. Whether it is love, family, or friends… I just f****d up things. I am such a failure."

Joseph thought about what Kate had been through the last few days and understood why she was so upset. He kissed her forehead, "Get some more sleep. I didn't sleep well last night either, stay with me."

"Hmm," She grabbed his hand and snuggled closer into his chest.

Once Kate was asleep, Joseph carefully slipped out of bed then walked out of the bedroom. Half an hour later he was at the door of her mansion.

Anna opened the door and was stunned at the moment she saw Joseph.

"Is Daisy here?" Joseph asked.

Anna recovered from her shock and bowed to him, replying nervously, "She...she moved out yesterday!"
