All three of them stared straight at her. For a moment, everyone in the room's gaze turned to Natasha. Natasha blinked but remained silent.Seeing Natasha's silence, Natalie couldn't hold back any longer. She turned to Mike and said, "Mr. Mike, this is Natasha Sullivan. She doesn't know anyone from the Sullivan family."Her tone exuded confidence and carried an undeniable certainty.Mike heard Natalie's words, but he wasn't disappointed. Instead, he seemed to have grasped the key point. He exclaimed excitedly, "This young lady's name…""Name?" Natalie blinked, unsure of what Mike was talking about. She wondered if Mike had spent too long abroad, hence his unclear expression when speaking the local dialect.However, considering that he was at least a well-known figure internationally, Natalie asked again politely, "What did you just say? I didn't quite catch it. Could you repeat it?"Natasha, on the other hand, immediately grasped Mike's meaning. He must be referring to her fami
Before Mike could say anything, Natalie quickly interjected, "Josh, I know!" She knew she had to seize this rare chance to make Joshua look at her differently.She remarked, "Apart from the drugs sold to major listed pharmaceutical companies, all of the Sullivan family's drugs have been licensed out. Naturally, authorized pharmaceutical companies can produce as many drugs as they need."Joshua nodded. He was already aware of this.Natalie added, "However, apart from those drugs, the Sullivan family's other unlicensed ones are in such high demand that they're practically unavailable on the market."The drugs released by the Sullivan family are all limited-time and limited-quantity, so ordinary folks can't get hold of them."Elite families from all over the country are pulling out all the stops just to get their hands on a Sullivan family drug. The competition is truly fierce!"Natasha listened to Natalie's words with a calm expression. It appeared Natalie was surprisingly well-inf
Following those words, Mike turned to Natalie. "Ms. Lovelace, we're entrusting you with getting this secret remedy!"Natalie was startled and wanted to hurriedly evade his gaze. However, Mike's trust in her was too palpable. She couldn't avoid it even if she wanted to. At that moment, she felt extremely awkward. Joshua noticed something off in Natalie's expression and asked, "What's wrong? Natalie, can you obtain the Sullivan family's secret remedy?" He felt a bit uncertain.Natalie hesitated as she opened her mouth. She did want to seize this opportunity to win the Grayson family's favor, but obtaining the Sullivan family's secret remedy was truly challenging.If it were just an ordinary Sullivan family medicine, she would have readily agreed without hesitation. However, this was the Sullivan family's secret remedy. She couldn't agree so readily.Natasha, who was standing aside, noticed Natalie's silence and didn't say anything more. She simply gazed at her with a calm expressio
Observing the affectionate pair in front of her, Natasha's mouth twitched slightly.She turned around and wanted to leave. Since Natalie said she could get the medicine, there was no reason for her to stay there.Mike glanced up. Seeing Natasha about to leave, he intended to catch up and clarify if he had really seen her before.A hand suddenly rested on his shoulder as he was about to step forward. The next second, Joshua's voice sounded in his ear. "Mr. Mike, I'll leave my grandpa in your care."Mike snapped back to reality and reluctantly stepped back. He nodded and said, "You can rest assured. I will take care of Mr. Grayson Senior."Joshua nodded in acknowledgment.Just then, Terry approached from behind Joshua and whispered something in his ear, instantly causing the latter's expression to change.Afterward, Joshua nodded at Mike. With a hint of apology in his expression, he said, "There are some matters at Grayson Corporation that need my attention. I can't help you here
Meanwhile, Natasha turned around and exited Grayson Hospital. As soon as she exited the hospital, she spotted Ryan.Ryan was dressed in straight-legged jeans and black sneakers. He wore a gray sweater on top and a loose camel-colored coat. He gave off a vibe of both warmth and sunshine.Standing at the hospital entrance, he eagerly stretched out his arm and waved at her as she emerged.Natasha walked toward Ryan. Her tone was tinged with surprise as she asked, "What brings you here?"Seeing Natasha walking toward him, Ryan's lips curled into a smile. "You came to the hospital with Joshua's assistant and didn't drive yourself. I was afraid it might be difficult for you to go back, so I came to pick you up."Natasha glanced up at Ryan. She couldn't see it from afar, but now that she was closer, she noticed the chill emanating from Ryan.His ears and cheeks were slightly red from the cold, clearly indicating he had been standing outside for quite some time.Natasha's heart skipped
Natasha suddenly spoke with tears in her eyes. She thanked Ryan for allowing her to experience such a feeling again after Jacob's death.During her three years at Grayson Villa, she had always been the one waiting for Joshua to come home. Yet, every time she returned from outside, feeling exhausted, not a single Grayson bothered to show her care or concern.Ryan looked up to meet Natasha's gaze. He wondered if he had misheard.Before he could respond, a voice interrupted from behind Natasha. "Natasha? Aren't you supposed to leave? Why are you still here?"Natasha turned to see Joshua emerging from Grayson Hospital. He was dressed in a black coat. Each step he took echoed with the dull sound of his leather shoes.Joshua glared coldly at Natasha and Ryan, who was standing behind her.A few moments ago, Joshua had seen Natasha and Ryan standing in the snow. They were wearing light clothing and seemed unaffected by the cold.The duo were looking at each other lovingly. Their smiles
Joshua stood motionless, staring into the distance where the car had disappeared a while ago. His expression was unreadable.Terry scratched his head, unsure whether he should remind Joshua about the urgent company matters. He was worried about seeming insensitive. Wearing a gloomy expression, he quietly watched Joshua.The chilly wind made him shiver, and he wrapped his suit tightly around himself. He wondered why Joshua wasn't affected by the cold.Then, he noticed that Joshua was wearing a high-quality black coat, which no doubt kept him warm.Terry looked down at his own suit, which was wrinkled from sprinting all the way here.He shook his head helplessly and clutched himself. He couldn't help but mock himself for having to endure the cold wind due to Joshua's problems.Just when Terry assumed Joshua wouldn't be back at the office today, he suddenly heard Joshua's voice, which was chillingly firm. "Find out about Ryan."He spoke quickly, and Terry didn't hear him clearly. "
Terry noticed Natalie acting strangely. He sensed that something was wrong.Joshua took one look at Natalie before he replied, "No, let's go."Terry didn't dare to say much. He quickly answered, "Understood."As he cautiously started the car, he couldn't help but wonder why Joshua was ignoring Natalie.It was only a few months ago that he had been madly in love with her. He had even been willing to kick Natasha out of Grayson Villa for her.While their car was pulling away, a man in a white coat rushed out of the alley next to the Grayson Hospital. He seemed nervous, and Terry noticed him immediately due to his distinctive clothing.Just as Terry tried to get a better look at the man, Joshua's voice interrupted. "Are we leaving or what?"Joshua rubbed his temples with his eyes closed, looking tired and irritated at the same time.Terry quickly came to his senses and replied, "Yes, Mr. Grayson. We'll leave right away."He drove the car out of the hospital grounds without taking
