Who's the Substitute Now? Chapter 576
"Where did the patient in this room go?" The first question Joshua asked upon entering the room was about Natasha's whereabouts.One of the young nurses hesitated for a few seconds. "The patient in this room…"She picked up the record sheet from the table and checked the information for the room. "This young lady was transferred to another hospital this morning."Transferred? Joshua's eyes widened."To which hospital was she transferred?""Well…" The young nurse seemed new and unfamiliar with the matter. She scrambled to find the records. "It doesn't seem to be written here. Let me check the computer for you."Joshua followed the nurse to the computer, but she struggled to find any information, even dropping the mouse twice due to her nervousness."I'm so sorry. It's not recorded here.""It's not recorded?" Joshua's gaze turned fierce.The nurse was started. Initially, she had been emboldened by his good looks to strike up a conversation with him. However, at the moment, she w

Natasha groggily dragged herself into the car. Due to the surgery she had just undergone the previous day, her steps were still a bit unsteady.The doctor beside her was very attentive. He immediately noticed Natasha's condition and carefully helped her into the car, saying, "Just follow me."The car was an extended version of a Rolls-Royce, with a sleek body that screamed luxury as soon as one entered.The table, couch, tableware, cabinets—everything one could need was readily available. And upon further inspection, there was even a bed tucked away in the back."Let Natty rest on the bed for a while!" Daniel instructed as he followed behind."Okay, I'll help her over there," the doctor nodded and guided Natasha to the back. "Please watch your step."Natasha sat on the edge of the bed. However, Daniel approached with a cup of water before she could fully relax. "Natty, take some of this medicine first. I just prepared it. It's good for your body."Natasha looked up at him. "Didn

Daniel was doing what Austin asked at the moment, giving him a detailed report on his precious granddaughter.When Natasha suddenly appeared, he jumped a bit and quickly pulled his phone away from his ear."Your phone?" he asked, surprised.After a moment of confusion, he smacked his forehead and said, "Oh, your phone's with me. I forgot to give it to you!"Natasha took the phone from Daniel and was surprised to find several missed calls on the screen.Feeling puzzled, she tapped on the notifications and discovered that all of them were from Joshua.She couldn't believe Joshua actually called her so many times. She checked the time and realized the calls had all come in two to three hours earlier.She found herself torn between whether to call back.Her finger hovered over the callback button for about a minute before she ultimately decided against it.She shook her head and thought it would probably be best not to call back.Even though Joshua had helped her out, something a

"I-It's not what you're thinking…" Natasha wanted to explain further, but Daniel had already walked away. It was as if his lingering would disrupt her time with Ryan.Natasha sighed in resignation. She knew precisely what her uncle was thinking.He wanted her to be happy, hoped she'd move on from Joshua, and envisioned a future where she would enjoy a joyful marriage and a fulfilling life.She understood it all. But Ryan wasn't the one.There was no denying that Ryan's sunny disposition, charming nature, and straightforwardness made him akin to a little sun. He could melt away stress for anyone near him.Even with all the stress, just catching a glimpse of Ryan's bright, twinkling eyes made it all fade away.Yet, no matter how perfect Ryan appeared to be or how well he fit the picture, Natasha couldn't shake the perception of him as a mere student in her heart.Natasha, the Sullivan family's beloved only daughter, was everyone's darling. She was surrounded by an abundance of lov

"This plane is one of the finest from the Sullivans. Your grandpa arranged it specifically for us."You'll be perfectly comfortable up there, and it's a quick flight. We'll be in Topola before you know it," Daniel mentioned as he walked.Natasha made her way up the plane's stairs and stepped inside.As she was entering, a lady in formal attire bowed to her. "Miss, please come in."Natasha nodded and followed the lady's indication, finding herself a seat.The plane swiftly powered up, roaring into the dark sky and disappearing into the distance, leaving only a trail of twinkling lights.In her high heels, the flight attendant, Jane, approached. "Miss, here's a blanket. Would you like me to help you get comfortable?""No, thanks. I'm good."The plane's air conditioning was working well, and the temperature inside was pleasantly warm. There was no need for a blanket.Daniel gave Jane a subtle signal to leave, then took a seat next to Natasha.They sat in silence for a while unti

Natasha paused, mulling over her words.She had a feeling Carly was the mastermind behind this, but it was hard to say whether someone else was involved.Considering Carly's backing and Natalie's animosity toward Natasha, it seemed likely that Natalie could have influenced Carly or even been directly involved in the changing room incident.However, since Natasha didn't witness it herself, it was all just speculation.Nonetheless, her intuition strongly suggested Natalie wasn't innocent in this."Carly Turner?" Daniel muttered, repeating the name as he tried to place where he'd heard it before. It seemed familiar, but he just couldn't remember.Still, he slapped his thigh confidently."Don't worry, Natty. Carly Turner, right?" he assured. "I'll make sure she gets what's coming to her!"Daniel's fervent zeal shone through, portraying a spirited young man's vigor.Watching Daniel's earnest demeanor, Natasha's lips curled into a gentle smile. Her expression, softened by her recent

Natasha was momentarily at a loss for words as she watched Daniel gasp for air. She extended her hand and gently patted his back to comfort him."If Joshua didn't save you, you might not wake up at all. We have to settle this with the Turners!" Daniel exclaimed."It's not as serious as you're making it out to be," Natasha said, trying to calm him down.She never imagined Daniel would react so strongly to hearing Carly's name. Worried that Daniel might confront the Turners if she didn't intervene, she felt compelled to step in."How can you say it's not serious?" Daniel's tone rose. "The Turners raised such a spoiled daughter and aren't even embarrassed about it. It's just shameful."Feeling unable to talk him down, Natasha let out a quiet sigh.When she spotted Jane walking toward them with drinks, Natasha motioned for her to bring them over. Jane approached to offer them the tray. Natasha picked out a cup of calming tea and handed it to Daniel."Uncle Daniel, have some tea to c

The car had been parked outside for quite a while. With every passing second, Natasha seemed more hesitant to open the car door.While others might have grown impatient with her, Daniel stayed calm. Sitting beside her in silence, Daniel's eyes were tender, expressing an elder's kind concern.He didn't want to add any pressure to Natasha.He respected her feelings upon returning home, understanding that emotions could be overwhelming. So, he patiently waited, giving her the space she needed.As time passed, a few helpers hurried over. They were keen to help Daniel by opening the car door and ushering them inside. But Daniel noticed their approach and subtly gestured for them to step back.Sitting in the car, Natasha focused on her breath until her heart calmed down.Getting out was a step she knew she had to take.Natasha knew she couldn't avoid returning to the Sullivan residence forever. With the inevitability of returning there looming, she decided it was time to gather her co

He didn't know where this sense of loss came from, but it hung over Joshua like a low-pressure system and seemed impossible to dispel. His expression visibly darkened. Yet, he seemed to want to maintain his dignity and didn't want Natasha to discern his sense of loss. So Joshua pursed his lips, forcefully suppressing the feeling and putting on a blank expression. He seemed indifferent to Natasha's proposed condition."How about it? Does Mr. Grayson need more time to consider?" Natasha sat calmly in her chair, tilting her head slightly. She was confident this time that Joshua would definitely agree. Although she felt a bit uneasy about using Philip's life as leverage against Joshua, she believed it was the best option at the moment. Given Joshua's personality, using trivial things as leverage wouldn't pose any threat to him. Besides family members' lives, everything else was insignificant to him. She had no other choice.As Natasha spoke, her eyebrows furrowed lightly, and her

As soon as Joshua heard Natasha mention there were conditions, he instantly had a bad feeling. Although Natasha didn't explicitly state the conditions, Joshua understood that they definitely wouldn't be easy."What conditions are you talking about?" He propped his chin up with his hand, looking at Natasha seriously.Natasha smiled and raised her lips. "What are the conditions? You should know."Joshua was slightly stunned. He knew what the conditions were?He furrowed his brows earnestly, trying hard to figure out what conditions Natasha was talking about.Could it be…"Are you trying to make it a condition to drive Natalie away from the Grayson Villa?" Joshua raised an eyebrow. Considering recent events, Joshua couldn't think of any other conditions.As soon as this was said, Natasha was momentarily dumbfounded.What was he talking about?Natasha tried to find a word to describe Joshua's thoughts, but after a long time, she couldn't bring herself to say it. Joshua's train of

Natasha blinked her eyes. It seemed that Joshua was anticipating her rejection in advance."Since you can enter the Sullivan residence, your relationship with them must be extraordinary."It's not like people with Joshua's and Natalie's status could enter. But Natasha could, which undoubtedly indicated that she still had something to hide from him."Since you have this relationship with the Sullivans, helping Grandfather should be a simple matter."As soon as these words came out, Natasha sneered, "Simple matter?""Although I do have some connection with the Sullivans, it's not to the extent where I can freely arrange the Sullivans miracle worker's schedule."The position of the Sullivan's miracle worker is well-known. Since you are aware of it, you shouldn't say such things. You're overestimating me."Natasha was blatantly lying and trying to deceive Joshua."Someone with the status of the Sullivan's miracle worker would only save someone if he wanted to. If he doesn't have th

As soon as Joshua said the name "Jacob", Natasha felt like her throat was being choked, and was unable to breathe properly.Her breathing became somewhat erratic."What's wrong? Do you know him or not?" Joshua spoke, narrowing his eyes. His pupils contracted, and he looked sharp and almost menacing.It seemed like any slight movement from Natasha couldn't escape his gaze."I…" Natasha began.She seemed a bit hesitant but also seemed not at all. Finally, she calmly spoke, "I don't know him.""Don't know him?" Joshua raised an eyebrow.He seemed somewhat incredulous, repeatedly confirming, "You really don't know him?"Natasha nodded, her expression very firm. "I don't know him."She looked somewhat puzzled, her tone confused as she asked, "Who is Jacob? Is he also from the Graysons?"Joshua stared at Natasha motionlessly, as if trying to find a flaw on her face.But Natasha remained calm. Her expression was very normal and without any flaws.Joshua stared for a long time. Eve

"Please help us remove all these dishes and replace them with some new ones." Natasha pointed to the dishes on the table.The waitress was startled, instinctively asking, "Is there any problem with these dishes? Please point them out, and we will correct them immediately."Natasha smiled gracefully. "No, there's nothing wrong."It was just that these dishes accidentally touched Joshua's nerve."Is it because the dishes don't suit your taste?" the waitress continued to inquire."Not really." Natasha shook her head.Although, she hadn't even taken a bite. She didn't even know if these dishes were good or not.If Joshua's gaze hadn't been so intimidating, she would have tried them so as not to waste them.Next time, she had to bring Austin to try the dishes at this restaurant."So what's wrong with these dishes? We can convey your feedback to the kitchen, or we can replace them with new dishes for you free of charge. Would that be acceptable to you?" the waitress asked.The wait

Joshua had been the president for a long time, and his whole demeanor was daunting, seemingly suffocating others with his pressure.Natasha sat in her seat. Even if she deliberately avoided looking up at Joshua, she could still feel the scalp-tingling sensation.His gaze was just too sharp. She couldn't ignore it even if she wanted to."Uh… Didn't you just say you don't like these dishes? Do you want them all removed?" Natasha awkwardly changed the subject."I'll listen and remove it now. I'll call the waiter in to take them away." After saying that, Natasha lowered her gaze and pressed the button on the table to call the waiter outside on standby.Joshua remained silent. His gaze fixed on Natasha without wavering.It made Natasha feel even more trapped.Her mind was already in a mess at the moment. She regretted that she had spoken too hastily earlier without thinking.She had never let slip of anything during her time in the Grayson Villa.What was happening now? Just a few

She was trying hard to change the subject.But Joshua looked at the dish, his mind filled with the image of Jacob's face and the various rejections he had faced during his youth.This made him very uncomfortable."I won't eat it. Take it away," Joshua said coldly with disdain."This dish… actually tastes very good. You can try it. Don't have a prejudice against it." Natasha tried to calm Joshua's mood.But he clearly had little patience. He roared angrily, "Take it away!""I don't want to see this dish!"The sound made Natasha's hand tremble as she held the plate."Alright, alright, I'll take it away. Why are you so fierce?" Natasha bit her lip, took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing her rising anger, and then withdrew the dish of delicious cheese curds."Then have some other dishes." She gestured to the several dishes on the table.But unexpectedly, Joshua's face turned even worse. His gaze swept over the dishes on the table, his brows deeply furrowed, looking very dissati

Joshua's tone sounded casual and his expression indifferent, as if discussing something unrelated to him. Yet, it gave the impression that he was talking about his own affairs."Is it worth it?" Natasha murmured, repeating the question.Perhaps because Joshua exuded a melancholic air, Natasha stopped in her tracks and earnestly answered the question. "If this mother is willing to do it, then it must be worth it."Upon hearing this, Joshua looked at her, his melancholy seeming to deepen."Is that so? Do you also think that everything this mother does is worth it?"The sorrowful expression in his eyes seemed so thick that it was unbreakable.Natasha was surprised to see Joshua like this. She didn't understand why Joshua had suddenly changed."A parent's love for their child involves careful planning. Every mother who selflessly sacrifices for her child is great…"Natasha considered her tone carefully. "A mother who wholeheartedly loves her child would do this, wouldn't she?"Bef

They were different people.In a flash, Natasha instinctively pushed him away.She stood up straight, her tone serious as she said, "Joshua, please behave yourself." Her gentle fingers brushed against Joshua's shirt, seemingly carrying her fresh fragrance with it.The sudden push caught Joshua off guard.Looking up, he found Natasha wanting to keep her distance from him as if he were a ferocious beast.This look even made Joshua doubt himself. Was he that bad to warrant such a reaction from her?Before he could come to a conclusion, Natasha had already picked up her bag, seemingly ready to leave."If Mr. Grayson has nothing else to do today, I'll be taking my leave first."Joshua's behavior just now caught her off guard.Anyway, from the looks of it, he probably wouldn't agree to a divorce.Since Joshua had made up his mind, it was pointless for her to linger here. It was better to go home and avoid hearing any more of Joshua's "seductive" words."Wait," Joshua called out
