Ellison And Joycelyn: A Love Beyond The Rules

Chapter 269 Kingston lifted his cold eyes and glanced at Richard.

072% "Mr. Schultz, if there are any results, we will contact you immediately. If you haven't been notified, it means there's no match yet." Kingston was familiar with Richard and responded politely.

Richard nodded. There was a hint of disappointment on his refined face, but he still maintained a gentle smile. "I understand. I just happened to be here, so I thought I'd ask." His casual tone was merely a cover for the dejection in his heart.

Kingston said, "I understand your eagerness as a father, Mr. Schultz. Rest assured, we will inform you as soon as there's any news." "Alright, I won't trouble you further, Dr. Mason." Richard forced a composed smile.

"It's no trouble at all," Kingston replied with a slight nod before parting ways with Richard.

As he was about to head to his office, he caught sight of Joycelyn and Ellison leaving. Changing his course, he walked toward them.

"You know Richard?" Ellison asked.

Kingston replied, “Yes, he's involved in many charitable endeavors in the country and has sponsored several clinical research projects in the medical field." "He seems like a good person," Joycelyn remarked, her gaze lingering on Richard's lonely figure as he walked away.

After learning about her origins and having seen Sandra's struggles to find her family, Joycelyn understood the pain experienced by both missing children and their parents.

She felt inexplicably sad.

"The results should be ready in about two hours. Let's head back for now. Your Grant family members are coming soon," Kingston informed them in a calm voice.

He added, "Your younger sister is hospitalized here, and since last night, the media has been swarming the place, turning it into quite the spectacle." Just as Kingston finished speaking, a sleek black luxury car pulled up at the hospital's main entrance.

For an elite private hospital catering to the upper class, high-end vehicles were nothing unusual.

However, stepping out of the car were Sibyl and her so-called younger sister, who was actually her daughter, Tanya.

"Ellison, we couldn't reach you yesterday, and now you just show up at the hospital," Sibyl said with irritation. But despite her anger, she didn't dare vent it directly at Ellison.

Ellison's gaze remained as unreadable as ever. It was like the surface of a still sea, calm and clear yet concealing unfathomable depths.

"If I had cyesterday, I wouldn't have witnessed today's spectacle," he replied indifferently. His vague response was even more infuriating than outright ignoring her.

Sibyl choked back her words, fuming silently before storming toward the inpatient department.

"Let's go. Callwhen you have the results. I'm taking my wife out for sfun," Ellison said as he wrapped his arm 1/3 10:26 Tue, 11 Mar Chapter 269 around Joycelyn and walked away, completely undered by the ration they bene cats Kingston maintained his al calm demeanor, merely nodding in veloguer as watbed Elhoon beau Then be be returned to his office and changed into his white cWhen he headed back toward the laboratory, he happened to wee Led ryping ont "Leah, what are you doing here?

Though Kingston found it odd, he chose not to press the matter further.

Ellison hadn't told anyone about his and Joycelyn's visit to the hospital for the blood sample regardin Little did he know that Leah had arrived shortly after them. Even though she was married, she still couldn't let go of Ellison She had secretly watched the blood-drawing process from outside and had seen her brother take the samples into the lab. Immediately, she understood what was happening That was a genetic database. Without thinking twice, she secretly swapped the newly collected blood sample with her owIL After all, she was the only one who knew her special background. Her DNA would never be matched with any biological relatives.

In the hospital ward, Bellina only had a minor wound on her forehead and a few bruises on her body from Lyra's pinches. She didn't dare tell the truth and simply said she got hurt in a car accident.

"Jerome, did Dad go to check for results again?" Bellina asked sweetly as she nibbled on the apple her brother had cut into small pieces for her.

Jernodded. "Probably." Bellina said, “I hope there's good news. If I had an older sister, I'd be the happiest child in the world! I really want a big sister. Dad and my brothers are all so good-looking. My sister must be beautiful too!" Bellina made sure her words were loud enough for Richard to hear as he walked into the room.

Richard felt warmth in his heart upon hearing his daughter's thoughtful words.

"But it's been so many years, and we still haven't found her. Medical technology is so advanced now, and databases are connected worldwide... Do you think she's still alive?" Bellina's voice suddenly carried a hint of sadness.

"Maybe she's healthy and never needed medical treatment, so there are no records of her. Or perhaps she's living somewhere remote. As long as we don't give up, we'll find her one day, Jerreassured her, handing her another piece of apple.

Bellina hummed in agreement, enjoying the princess-like treatment she received.

Chapter 269 She wasn't worried at all that the real daughter of the Schultz family would take her place. Because she would never be found.

13 11 Bellina thought smugly as she watched Richard walk in. She quickly put down the fruit and eagerly asked, "Dad, is there any news about my sister?" Richard simply shook his head.

"It's okay! We'll definitely find her one day!" Bellina immediately shifted back into her obedient, well-behaved persona in front of her father.

"Dad, we've been back for days now. Timothy says the company is really busy. You and Jerpine Should go back first. I'll stay here and wait for my sister's leads." Bellina coaxed her father gently. Richard asked, "You're not coming back with us?" "No, I want to stay here a little longer. And besides, I need to help Jerevaluate his future wife," Bellina said with a bright, innocent smile.

"My future wife?" Jerome's expression darkened. "Who?" Bellina exclaimed, "Tanya! I think she's great. Plus, I'm planning to start my own business, and I want to partner with her." At the stime, she planned to steal Ellison for herself.

The more Bellina thought about him, the more she liked him. Anything she liked, she had to make hers.

She had turned herself from an orphan into the Schultz family's beloved princess. Now, she believed she could also marry into the Grant family.

"Belle, are you staying because of Ellison?" Richard's once-warm tone turned stern.

Bellina's eyes flickered as she stuffed a piece of apple into her mouth. “No, I m just want to build my own career.

And also want to look for my sister, since she went missing here in this country."

"Alright then. But you must stay away from Ellison. That man's level of cunning and influence is beyond ordinary. He's dangerous," Richard warned gravely. Bellina, however, wasn't concerned in the slightest. She thought if someone as poor and ordinary as Joycelyn could win over Ellison, she could as well.

"Dad, I understand," Bellina responded obediently, though inwardly, she scoffed.
