Without beating around the bush, Joshua coldly said, "You can't leave."Natasha was taken aback. "Why can't I leave?"Did the Grayson family have the right to restrict a person's freedom?Upon hearing Natasha's words, Joshua realized he hadn't made himself clear.He explained, "You can leave but can't take Dr. Sullivan with you. Dr. Sullivan's status is noble, and he's not someone you can mess with."To begin with, Daniel was already very dissatisfied with Joshua's words and actions. Instead of correcting himself, Joshua was treating Natasha even more poorly.He couldn't stand it anymore. "Joshua, how can you talk to Natty like this? Are you implying that Natty's status isn't noble enough?"Joshua looked up to see Daniel glaring at him, and he instinctively wanted to apologize. "Of course not."As soon as he said that, he suddenly sensed that something was off. Upon carefully recalling Daniel's words, he finally realized what was wrong.Lifting his eyes in disbelief, he asked,
Daniel pulled Natasha out of the hospital. Looking back now and then, he was afraid that Joshua would cling to them like a nuisance.It wasn't until they were completely out of the hospital's entrance that he finally breathed a sigh of relief."Natty, does Joshua always talk to you like that?" Daniel gripped Natasha's hand tightly, sounding displeased."That's just his personality. I've gotten used to it," Natasha replied calmly.Daniel's frustration spiked. "That's outrageous! How can you put up with it?"If it were him, he would have put that ignorant guy in his place long ago.Daniel wanted to keep going on about Joshua, but Natasha brushed it off, saying, "Don't be mad. I'm not bothered, so you don't have to be either."She never really cared about Joshua, so whatever he said or did didn't bother her at all."How can I not be mad? I'm just standing up for you, Natty…" Daniel protested."Alright, alright," Natasha soothed gently. She knew Daniel was only looking out for her
Natasha knew all too well about Philip's complicated conditions.At first, the news took her by surprise. It left her a bit shaken.However, she quickly regained her composure and reasoned that with Daniel's expertise, success was inevitable.But now, she couldn't help but wonder if someone was interfering again.With furrowed brows and a serious expression, Natasha awaited Daniel's response.…Joshua stood there for a while, his eyes dark and lowered.Natalie arrived late. She paused to survey her surroundings. Natasha and Daniel were nowhere to be seen.Natalie felt uneasy. She was surprised Joshua didn't stop them.She walked up to Joshua, asking, "Josh, where's Dr. Sullivan?"Joshua's reply was cold and accusing. "Why are you lying?"His words sent a chill down her spine, making her shiver."What?" Natalie didn't get the answer she was hoping for and was instead met with questioning.Feeling flustered, she tried to maintain her composure. "Josh… What do you mean?"She
Joshua walked ahead briskly, paying no attention to Natalie's desperate attempts to stop him.He headed straight for the ICU, where the bodyguard quickly opened the door for him.Inside, Philip lay in the hospital bed, surrounded by the machines' rhythmic beeping.The old man's face was pale, and his wrinkles were clear. Although his breathing was regular, there was no sign of him waking up.Joshua frowned. He couldn't understand why Philip wasn't waking up. This had left him with a bad feeling.Meanwhile, Natalie, looking distressed, struggled her way to the ICU's entrance.Spotting Joshua standing resolutely, she attempted to rush toward him, only to be thwarted by a sturdy arm.Natalie's brows knitted together. She was wondering who else besides Joshua would dare to stop her.She lifted her eyes to meet Terry's stern expression. His serious demeanor and imposing presence made it clear she wasn't getting through.Terry stood tall and firm. "Ms. Lovelace, Mr. Grayson doesn't
"Speak up," Joshua ordered."Mr. Grayson Senior's condition has indeed improved quite a bit. But unfortunately, he's still not showing any signs of waking up," Mark explained.Joshua's face fell."He's not waking up? Then what was the point of the doctor's visit earlier? Wasn't the Sullivan family's secret remedy supposed to work?" Joshua questioned.Joshua's barrage of questions left Mark stumped. "I wasn't there for Dr. Sullivan's intervention, so I can't give you the details. But it looks like Mr. Grayson Senior isn't waking up," Mark admitted.Joshua's expression darkened. Even though doubts were creeping in, he still held onto some trust in the Sullivan family. "Are you sure you're not mistaken?" Before Mark had a chance to speak, Joshua immediately directed the doctors standing behind him, "Come over here and check!"A line of doctors rushed to Philip's bedside to examine him. But it was clear that their efforts didn't lead to the desired outcome."Mr. Grayson, Dr. M
"What are you trying to say?" she demanded with a frown. "Dr. Sullivan selflessly came to save Grandpa Philip without asking for anything in return, and all he gets is your criticism?"As Natasha continued, her tone grew colder. "Do you even realize how many people outside are begging the Sullivan family for medical assistance?"Before Joshua could even respond, Natasha added, "If you're going to insist on questioning the doctor's professionalism, I'm afraid there's not much I can do about it."In Natasha's opinion, once someone made a subjective judgment, it was hard to change their mind no matter how much one tried to convince them.Daniel got out of the car but stayed close by. He walked over to Natasha. "Who's calling? Is it Joshua?"Natasha nodded and then waved her hand toward the building. "You go ahead. I'll talk to him."Daniel really couldn't stand Joshua. Natasha knew Daniel taking the call would just make things worse between them.Daniel didn't want to leave, so he
In Joshua's words, there was a subtle sense of anticipation.Daniel found his remark amusing and couldn't help but chuckle. "How would I know?"Upon hearing Daniel's laughter, Natasha looked up with a puzzled expression. She had just informed him of the culprit."If you can't even figure out who drugged your grandpa, maybe it's time to think about stepping down as Grayson Corporation's president." Daniel's words carried a significant weight.After saying this, Daniel promptly ended the call.Looking at Natasha nearby, he shook his head, as if about to say something but ultimately stayed quiet.Finally, he simply said, "Natty, let's go in."…Joshua stood motionless, lost in thought. His gaze was fixed on his phone's blank screen.Beside him, Terry observed Joshua's inscrutable expression and cautiously remarked, "Mr. Grayson, Ms. Lovelace is outside and refuses to leave. She's really adamant about seeing you. Should we allow her in?"Considering the freezing temperature outsi
Natalie trembled as she approached the car. She could feel the chill deep within her bones.Inside the warm car, Joshua sat without much expression on his face.The driver held the steering wheel tightly while stealing glances at the woman in the rearview mirror. Aware of her association with Joshua, he hesitated to drive too fast.As Natalie trailed behind, winter's biting cold seemed to freeze her blood, chilling her to the core.Joshua was lost in thought inside the car, his brows furrowing as he pondered. He wasn't paying much attention to the vehicle's speed.Suddenly, he noticed something awry outside. A hint of impatience flickered across his face."Why are we going so slowly?" he asked.Upon hearing Joshua's remark, the driver dared not argue and immediately stepped on the gas.However, before the car could gain momentum, Joshua appeared to have a change of heart. He gestured for the driver to stop.The driver was puzzled by Joshua's sudden change of instructions.The
