Who's the Substitute Now? Chapter 389
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

"Someone drugged your grandpa, right under your nose? That takes some serious nerve," Matt breathed out in disbelief."Don't worry, I'll do everything I can to find out about the Sullivan family's miracle worker," he promised Joshua despite having some lingering doubts.He admitted, "But Oceanville isn't exactly like Topola. Whether we'll be able to uncover anything in the end, well, that's hard to say…"As Matt hesitated, Joshua put his coffee down and stood up."I have faith in you," he said with a serious expression, those simple words adding to the weight on Matt's shoulders.It had been a long time since Joshua had entrusted him with such an important task. This time, Matt knew he had to succeed, no matter what.In response, Matt also stood up and signaled for Joshua to sit down. "Alright, because of your faith in me, I'll do everything I can to find the Sullivan family's miracle worker.""Thanks." Joshua's expression softened as he heard the reassuring response. "I'll be l

Natasha's eyelashes flickered at the question, yet she opted to stay quiet.Amy stepped forward. She took Natasha's coat and placed it in the dry-cleaning room."Why the silence?" Daniel's eyes focused on Natasha.Seeing her uncle's persistence, Natasha offered a slight smile. "Well, how about this: once you're done here, we head back to the Sullivan residence together. How does that sound?"It had been quite some time since she last went back to the Sullivan residence. Naturally, it brought up a mix of nostalgia and uncertainty.And now, with Ryan taking the lead on the latest drug research project in the lab, his first big project, she couldn't help but feel a bit uneasy.So, when Daniel made his suggestion, she was momentarily indecisive.Daniel's face brightened with a pleased smile when he heard her response."Excellent! That's the plan, then. Once I finish up in Oceanville, we'll head back to the Sullivan residence.""Sounds good," Natasha said, gently guiding Daniel to

As much as Natalie desired to approach the car, her legs weren't quite cooperating.Her violet dress and wool coat might have kept her warm indoors, but they were of no use in the chilly weather outside.As she approached the car, it abruptly drove away before her eyes.Feeling bewildered, Natalie gazed blankly as the car departed. It took her a moment to regain her composure.What was the meaning of that? Was that intentional? Was it necessary for Joshua to go to such lengths?Feeling like she was being toyed with, Natalie felt a surge of ferociousness, her blood boiling in her veins.It was all Natasha's fault; if it weren't for her appearance, she wouldn't have ended up in such a situation.Without Natasha, Natalie would have long become Mrs. Grayson, enjoying countless fortunes.She would have had access to all the Grayson family's wealth, spending it as she pleased; instead of struggling to move in the freezing weather on the verge of fainting.The more Natalie thought ab
