Who's the Substitute Now? Chapter 327
There seemed to be electricity in the air when their gazes met.When Joshua saw him previously, he hadn't paid much attention to him. Now that he appeared again, Joshua carefully scrutinized Ryan from head to toe.Like Natasha, he was dressed in a lab coat. At a glance, he seemed quite young, almost like a college student.Joshua had good memory and observational skills. When Joshua entered the room, he noticed Ryan setting down the notebook he was holding.Although the action was subtle, Joshua remembered it clearly.At a glance, he spotted a lab logbook behind Ryan. Obviously, it had been placed there haphazardly.Joshua smirked upon gaining a rough understanding of Ryan.In Oceanville, trivial tasks like recording experimental data were usually handled by those who didn't understand pharmaceuticals. They would merely be tasked with small errands in the lab.At most, Ryan was just an assistant in Professor Nancy's lab.With a stoic gaze, Joshua replied, "I'm talking to Natas

Ryan raised an eyebrow when Joshua asked for his name. He wondered what Joshua was up to.At the same time, Natasha frowned. She also sensed something fishy about Joshua's sudden curiosity about Ryan's name.Could Joshua be plotting something against Ryan? That seemed to be the only possibility.Ryan came from a modest background, unlike the wealthy Grayson family. If Joshua had any shady intentions toward Ryan, Ryan wouldn't stand a chance to defend himself.After all, Joshua had a reputation for scheming behind the scenes.However, Ryan seemed completely unbothered and did not show any fear at all. Instead, he casually replied, "You're asking for my name?"Joshua nodded. "What, you're scared to say it? Where's that confidence from earlier?"Ryan chuckled. "There's nothing to be scared of."Noticing that Ryan hadn't fully realized how serious the situation was, Natasha quickly reached out her arm to signal him not to speak.She spoke up, "Mr. Grayson, aren't you taking this a

Joshua's face scrunched up a bit as he looked at the guy in front of him.He asked for his name again. "Is your name really Ryan Zales?"Ryan nodded. "Yes."Natasha observed Joshua's contemplative expression with a sense of apprehension. She was worried he might do something to Ryan."Joshua, what do you want? If you don't leave now, I'll have to step in," Natasha warned.Ryan, being young and inexperienced, was oblivious to how tricky things could get in the business world or how to read people.He was clueless about Joshua and what he might be up to, but Natasha had him figured out. She knew exactly what Joshua was capable of.Natasha couldn't just stand by and watch Ryan walk straight into trouble.Disregarding Natasha's warning, Joshua cautiously continued, "Your name's Ryan Zales, which leads me to wonder… Are you part of the Zales family from Topola?"Joshua's eyes remained fixed on Ryan, watching for any telltale signs.The Zales family from Topola? A sense of familiar

Natasha's expression grew visibly troubled. Her brows furrowed into a deep crease.Upon Natasha's command, the bodyguards swiftly cleared a path, allowing Joshua to leave the laboratory.Terry wasted no time in following suit, hurrying after Joshua.Feeling uneasy, Natasha watched as Terry dashed away. She hurriedly chased after him."Terry!" she called out, stopping him in his tracks.Startled, Terry turned around, recognizing the woman who had called his name."Ms. Sullivan? What are you doing here?" he asked.Natasha urgently asked, "How's Mr. Grayson Senior? Why did he suddenly fall ill?"Wasn't he just discharged from the hospital recently? The doctors said it wasn't anything serious. How could this happen again?"With concern written all over her face, Natasha continued, "Is Mr. Grayson Senior's condition critical now?"Terry nodded with a serious expression. "Earlier, the Graysons' family doctor operated on Mr. Grayson Senior, and everything seemed to go well. He recei

Natasha walked slowly toward the Graysons' private doctor, Drake Heffley. Her voice sounded strained as she asked, "Is there really no chance that he'll make it through tonight?"Drake looked up at her. He sighed softly before shaking his head with regret."We've done everything we can. But Mr. Grayson Senior…"Drake shook his head again. "It's just too much for him."Joshua's eyes widened in disbelief as if he had just grasped the situation's severity.His once calm demeanor shifted to fiery intensity in an instant.He swiftly approached, grabbing Drake's white coat by the collar and slowly tightening his grip. A bone-chilling coldness radiated from his eyes.The sudden lunge from Joshua startled Drake. Joshua's grip was strong. It was crumpling the collar around Drake's neck and making it difficult to breathe.Drake struggled to catch his breath."Mr. Grayson… Mr. Grayson…" His voice shook with fear.Joshua's grip tightened further on the collar. His eyes were burning with

Natasha continued toward the operating room, paying no mind to Joshua. As she reached for the door handle, someone stopped her."Excuse me, miss. We're in the middle of surgery. You can't enter," Adam Callahan, one of the doctors, informed her.Natasha raised an eyebrow. "Wasn't Dr. Drake done with the surgery already?"Adam looked uncomfortable. His voice was barely above a whisper, "Yes, but Mr. Grayson just ordered Dr. Drake to resume the rescue…"Even though he understood that Philip's situation was hopeless, disobeying Joshua's orders could have serious repercussions.Despite being aware that further attempts to save Philip were futile, reluctantly, Drake went along with it.Natasha could sense Adam's hesitation and raised an eyebrow. "Do you honestly think Dr. Drake can change anything at this point?"Her sharp gaze seemed to cut through Adam's thoughts."It's all Mr. Grayson's call, and we can't go against it. Please, miss, let's not make things difficult," Adam said ner

Natasha's gaze remained stern as she addressed Joshua."Release him first," she urged.But Joshua remained defiant. His eyes locked onto Natasha's."Do you really think you can save him?" he challenged, his tone dripping with skepticism.His eyes showed he didn't believe her. But Natasha didn't give in, either."Let him go," she insisted firmly.The two locked eyes, with neither willing to back down.Deep down, Natasha knew that Joshua had no other choice but to trust her.As Joshua's grip tightened around Drake's collar, Drake gasped for air, his face turning red under the pressure. Desperately, he managed to choke out, "Mr. Grayson…"Natasha's eyes narrowed as she witnessed the scene. Her voice remained calm but resolute as she insisted, "Let him go."It was as if Joshua wouldn't receive an answer from her until he released his grip."Can you actually save him?" Joshua lowered his voice, repeating the question with doubt lingering in his tone.Natasha remained silent.Th

Joshua shook his head. "You need to leave.""Joshua! Do you even know what you're saying?" Natasha's tone was becoming increasingly urgent.Taking a brief moment to assess Philip's condition, Natasha noted his faint breaths, signifying his precarious state.Joshua, dressed in black and holding the resuscitation equipment, spoke firmly, "I can't let you attempt to save Grandpa."He emphasized, "This is an operating room, not a playground."Only now did he realize the folly of his recent decision.When Natasha mentioned she could create drugs, Joshua naturally placed great trust in her. After all, she served as the assistant to a renowned international pharmaceutical doctor.However, the idea of her attempting to save a life… Joshua couldn't bring himself to buy into it. After all, even the internationally acclaimed doctor he had hired couldn't revive Philip. How could someone like Natasha, whose expertise lay solely in pharmaceuticals, possibly succeed?In the immediate afterm
