Ellison And Joycelyn: A Love Beyond The Rules

Chapter 287 Chapter 287 "Get lost! I don't know you," Leah coldly rebuked, her face a mask of fury.

The harsh words caught Joycelyn off guard. For a moment, she was stunned.

Leah had always been gentle and composed, never showing such intense anger before.

Moreover, they were still in the hospital.

Joycelyn and Sandra were both visibly worried about what was happening.

The ambulance had arrived and parked steadily, its medical team quickly unloading Ellison, who was drenched in blood. They rushed him toward the operating room for immediate treatment.

Even though Joycelyn had mentally prepared herself, the sight of Ellison covered in blood still made her heart ache.

"Ellison!" she cried, following closely behind, her voice breaking as she called out to him. “Don't scare me, Ellison!" Ellison's eyes were shut tight. His once-handsome, chiseled face was now streaked with blood, his oxygen mask barely holding on as he lay unconscious, teetering on the edge of death.

A lump formed in Joycelyn's throat, and her eyes blurred with tears. She could hardly believe it.

413 Just a few hours ago, he had been the charming and reserved Ellison-he had kissed her goodbye and promised to return soon with a surprise.

Now, he didn't even respond to her.

She could only look at him, her heart breaking, but she dared not touch him.

Behind her, William, Kingston, and several bodyguards were all covered in blood, their injuries apparent on their faces and bodies.

Joycelyn couldn't afford to waste any time. She followed the medical team, her body running on anxious adrenaline, but her exhaustion suddenly overwhelmed her without having any food for so long time, and she stumbled forward.

Fortunately, Sandra was quick to catch her.

"I'm fine," Joycelyn whispered, trying to steady herself, though her body felt weak. She continued to follow the medical team into the resuscitation room.

Leah, seeing her brother's severe injuries, gasped in shock, covering her mouth in disbelief.

"Kingston!" she cried out in distress.

Meanwhile, the rural couple that had been trailing them earlier persisted, pestering Leah. "Are you sure you're not our daughter Maria?" the woman asked, her voice tentative.

"Get lost!" Leah snapped, pushing them aside with unrestrained anger. "She is the one who needs to find her own family. Go find her and get out of my way!" The whole floor outside the operating room seemed suffused with a tense, oppressive atmosphere. Red emergency lights flashed, and blood bags and surgical instruments were swiftly wheeled in.

The uncertainty of life and death weighed heavily on everyone waiting outside.

Joycelyn collapsed into a chair, tears flowing freely.

1/3 07:58 Thu, 13 Mar = Chapter 287 She glanced at Haddy and Leon, who were both stained with blood, and shakily asked, “How did the accident happen?" 94% +13 "According to the footage, the large van deliberately crashed into three cars, one of which was the vehicle Ellison and one of the bodyguards were in. The van pushed them off the cliff beyond the guardrail. The driver of the van was killed instantly, along with one of the bodyguards. Ellison and the other two managed to jump out of the car before it went over," Haddy explained with a heavy sigh, his face grim.

Just listening to the narrative was enough to let everyone know how horrible the accident was.

"It was an intentional attack?" Joycelyn wiped her tears and struggled to compose herself.

"That still needs to be confirmed once the police finish their investigation," Haddy replied.

The group fell silent, each silently praying for the best.

Tpassed, and a few bodyguards with less severe injuries had already emerged from the operating room.

This slightly eased the tension, but the fear remained.

Soon, the rural couple approached again, looking around furtively.

"Maria?" The woman tentatively called out to Sandra, then glanced at Joycelyn. "Are you Maria?" "Go to the nurse's station if you're looking for someone," Sandra directed curtly, clearly dismissing them. "This is the resuscitation room." Joycelyn assumed the couple had cto the hospital in search of someone, possibly a loved one they had just lost.

Hospitals were places where families often had to face the shock of life and death.

"No, we're here to find our long-lost daughter," the woman said, not quite sure of herself as she looked at Joycelyn and Sandra.

Joycelyn froze. She wiped away her tears and exchanged a glance with Sandra.

"Wait here," Leon said, suddenly pulling out an iPad. “Is this what Ellison discovered? I found this iPad earlier and didn't pay attention to it." The screen was cracked, and there was no password. Leon unlocked it, revealing the profile of the Lester family. "Wait-what's this?" Sandra frowned, clearly shocked.

She had participated in the search for Joycelyn's family, so she knew a little about it. At that time, the exact information had not been sent. She only knew it was the Lester family, but she did not know that they would be such a family! "Yes, yes, I'm Hanmer Lester!" The thin, dark-skinned man pointed at himself, his grin showing yellow teeth as he rev that he was always smoking. "Which one of you is my daughter Maria?" Joycelyn stared at the couple. She wasn't one to judge people based on their appearance, but these two felt like strangers to her. They lacked any genuine familial warmth, and she felt no sense of kinship.

"How did you find us?" Joycelyn asked, her voice calm but skeptical.

"The village head sent us to the hospital, and then he left. We thought we'd check the hospital's records and, well, it looks like we've found you after all these years," Hanmer explained, holding her hand as if he were a long-lost father reunited with his daughter, tears of relief welling up in his eyes.

Joycelyn pulled her hand away. "This isn't the tfor this. You guys can find a place and settle down first. We'll talk later." 07:59 Thu, 13 Mar Chapter 287 Ellison was still in critical condition, and she was now in no mood to find her family.

But Hanmer and his wife weren't backing down. They clearly had their eyes on Joycelyn, who was not bhly e beautifuNbut rumored to be wealthy. They were eager to claim their "lost" daughter and gain whatever benefits they could.

"My poor child," Hanmer said tically, sitting beside her and O trying to act like a good father. "We've been looking for you all these years. Now that we've finally found you, we need to reunite properly." "Yes," his wife Kailey Lester chimed in, squatting in front of Joycelyn. "You don't know how much we've missed you. We'll never be apart again. Please, don't shut us out." Joycelyn originally wanted to let the couple settle down first and then talk to them in a few days.

Joycelyn felt even worse at the thought that Ellison had an accident because he went to pick them up.

"Letsee." Joycelyn took the iPad from Leon and checked the files.

"You've had six daughters and sent three of them away, all in hopes of having a son. Now you're tellingyou've been missingall these years?" Despite the pain, Joycelyn wasn't foolish.

These people looked simple, but they actually gave her a particularly shrewd feeling.

It was better not to acknowledge such parents who favored boys over girls.

When Hanmer and Kailey heard this, they couldn't even maintain their fake smiles.

"We did that so you could live a better life. In fact, we can't bear to part with you," Hanmer said.

"That's right," Kailey said.

Hearing what they said, Joycelyn only felt a headache and frustration.

"We're in the hospital now. You can do a paternity test first," Sandra suggested coldly, her face impassive.

+13 Just then, the red lights in the operating room switched off one by one, and Leah emerged, pushing Kingston's hospital bed.

Her eyes immediately locked on Joycelyn.

"My brother personally analyzed the blood samples. Do you really think he could be wrong? He suffered just to bring you back to your parents, and now you won't even recognize them. Can you really bear the harm they've endured?" Leah said, her voice bitter with indignation. She seemed to be righteous, but in reality, she wanted this strange couple to completely latch onto Joycelyn so she could sever all ties with them.

"We've been discussing this with your brother, but how did you know?" Joycelyn raised her tear-streaked face, her eyes now calm and skeptical as she gazed at Leah.
