Ellison And Joycelyn: A Love Beyond The Rules

Chapter 110 Chapter 110 Joycelyn went up to the inpatient department.

Her mother was moved from a shared ward to a private ward.

Wearing a mask, Joycelyn pretended to pass by the doorway of the ward to take a glance inside.

She saw her mother leaning against the headboard, drinking water.

Zoe, my water is a little cold. Add shot water for me." Joycelyn slowed down when she heard a cautious voice. She stopped at the doorway and listened carefully.

"So what if it's a bit cold? Just drink it. What's with all the fuss every day?" The voice of the middle-aged female caregiver named Zoe Jackson was filled with impatience.

Iris had no choice but to lower the glass she was holding, not saying another word.

Joycelyn could sense that at this moment, her mother must be looking meek and submissive.

If Joycelyn hadn't seen that flash of sharpness in Iris's eyes before, she would have thought Iris was a doormat who always endured whatever cher way.

"They say that when middle-aged and elderly people are hospitalized alone, they'll be neglected and mistreated," she thought. "Unexpectedly, this kind of thing happens to my mom! In the ward, Iris didn't say anything else. Instead, it was that caregiver called Zoe who kept blabbering, speaking very impatiently.

Joycelyn stood by the door and listened with her arms crossed, waiting for the caregiver in the ward to cout. "Iris, if your sister-in-law asksto take care of both her sons next time, we'll terminate the contract," Zoe said. "They say money's hard to earn, Your family is really awful.

"How vicious do you think people have to be to get the just deserts of their sons turning impotent? What an eye- opener. It's really unlucky." Joycelyn frowned as she heard the caregiver's curses.

Her opinion of Zoe wasn't as negative anymore. What's more, she even found this bold middle-aged woman somewhat She thought, "The two brothers from the Mercer family kidnapped me, and their outcwas so disastrous. It makes sense that if they can't find me, they'd cause a scene at the ward. Zoe is probably not someone to mess with either In the ward, Iris didn't dare to speak up. She just let the caregiver scold and lecture her.

When the caregiver was done packing and cout, she saw Joycelyn standing by the door, wearing a mask. She only took a second look and then carried the used bedsheets toward the laundry room.

It was only after she had walked a bit farther that Joycelyn called out to her.

1/4 Chapter 110 "Zoe, please wait," Joycelyn called out to the plump caregiver.

"Who are you?" Zoe said.

Tm a family member of the patient from ward 909" "Oh, you're her ungrateful elder daughter? Zoe sized up Joycelyn.

"That's not importani. I'm here to ask you to take good care of her. This is a small token of my appreciation. A portion of the money is for buying something she likes to eat and her favorite flavors. You can buy sfor her when you're free. The rest is for you to keep and spend." Joycelyn handed her the envelope containing cash that she had received.

Zoe took it with both hands, opened it, and saw that it was all green banknotes.

Shru She then said, "Well..." "This is extra money," Joycelyn said. "Don't tell her about it. Just take good care of her." She did not say much After receiving the money, Zoe was momentarily at a loss for words.

A long while later, she seemed to understand something and nodded. 'Alright, I'll spend this money on her. I won't be greedy" Joycelyn was about to leave. She looked at her and nodded with a smile as she said, "I trust you." "You're already here," Zoe said. “Not going in to see her, huh?" "Nope. Don't tell her I was here." With that said, Joycelyn turned around to leave.

But then she noticed that Iris was standing at the doorway of the ward in her hospital gown.

It seemed like she had recognized Joycelyn.

"Joycelyn Iris called out with uncertainty.

Seeing the thick envelope in Zoe's hand, Iris immediately walked forward.

"Is that money for me?" she said. "It happens that your aunt's family has strouble. Her two sons need money. You can just give it todirectly." When Iris saw the money, she walked much more nimbly.

She walked up to Zoe and immediately reached out to snatch it away, showing no trace of weakness. "That's the caregiver's salary." Joycelyn said, her tone somewhat irritated as she stopped her. "If you snatch the money away, you'll have to take care of yourself." still "Alright, our family is short of money," Iris said. "We need to save whenever we can. Your sister went out to make money for this family and ended up in trouble. And you? You are nowhere to be seen for a long time. Are you daughter?" my biological Iris's seemingly gentle words were filled with resentment.

She watched as Iris snatched the envelope and counted the money in her hands, appearing somewhat dissatisfied.

Iris rambled on, saying. "You've only saved this much money? My surgery fees were paid for by Octavia, and she even 2/4 Chapter 110 switched my ward to such a good ward. I raised you, but I can't rely on you for anything" Joycelyn stood still, taking a deep breath to adjust her suppressed emotions.

She thought, I was clearly the one who paid for the surgery, and this private ward was specifically and chey Fillons Ter etched on by in her eyes, it was all done by Octavia. If I hadn't signed for the surgery, who knows where she'd be r Joycelyn turned to look at Zoe and gritted her teeth as she said, "Zoe, you don't have to take care of her symoner Hair good rest." With that said. Joycelyn immediately turned around and left, not wanting to say another word Iris called out to her and said. "Your two brothers are still in the hospital, and your sister is there so tot heartless you are, you can't ignore these issues of the family

Joycelyn quickened her pace after hearing those words, thinking, Brothers and sister Humph, they ve ready ruined my and broughtirreversible harm. I can't wait for those filthy things to kick the bucket as soon as posle When Iris saw Joycelyn leave quickly, she tried to stop her but didn't even manage to touch the hem of her cate Iris stomped her foot in anger and said, "Ingrate. Heartless thing?" Zoe did not care about the money. After all, her salary had already been paid. She just could not stand sold people causing trouble.

Jeez, if your daughter didn't care about you, she wouldn't have written these things, which buy enjoy eating and askedto buy them for you," she said. "I don't think you have a stomach problem. Your mind isn't clear Old bag ward and stay there. Why are you out here?" Zoe was dedicated and responsible. After all, she had already received a few months worth of salary. She did not do Joycelyn instructed and stopped looking after Iris.

Instead, she got more fired up, helped Iris back into the ward, and then snatched the envelope from her "Why are you taking my money?" Iris said.

"This money was given toby your daughter to improve your meals, Zoe said. "Don't even think about taking it and letting someone else spend it. I have a share in this money too." Iris had just finished her surgery, so she was no match for the chubby Zoe in terms of energy She was so full of herself earlier, but in an instant, she was subdued by Zoe's angry expression and didn't dare to say anything more.

"At least givesthen," she said.

"Don't even think about it," Zoe said.

"This is your daughter's hard-earned a money, and she uses it to take care uses of you, yet you act against the person ofyou, who cares for you, calling her an ingrate. Lie down, you foggy-minded old bag. Don't cause trouble." When Joycelyn heard Zoe assertively standing up for her in the ward, her eyes could not help but turn teary She thought, "Even a bystander could see the situation clearly, yet my own mother has been lacking in judgment for so many years.
