Ellison And Joycelyn: A Love Beyond The Rules

Chapter 288 Chapter 288 "Yeah, all of this has been done in secret. Dr. Mason is fully involved, and a doctor as strict as him wouldn't tell you; Sandra echoed Joycelyn's words, questioning Leah.

Leah felt a momentary nervous inside, but thankfully, Kingston was unconscious and still breathing. She wasn't the least bit afraid of confrontation.

"Don't forget, I'm a doctor too, and I'll be involved," she replied firmly.

Joycelyn glanced at Kingston, lying unconscious with an oxygen mask.

There was no way to ask for proof on the matter at this point.

Besides, Ellison had already been wheeled out, and Joycelyn hurriedly stood up and walked toward him. "Doctor, how is Ellison?" she asked, her voice trembling.

"Mr. Grant has multiple injuries-broken ribs, a fractured left leg, and significant blood loss from a head wound. He is no longer in immediate danger, but it's hard to say when he will wake up," the doctor answered gravely. Every word felt like a knife to Joycelyn's heart.

It was as though her chest had been ripped open, the cold air rushing in, chilling her to the bone. It was summer, but the cold felt unbearable, freezing her very soul.

"He... will wake up, won't he?" Joycelyn's eyes were wide, unblinking as she stared at the doctor, tears shimmering in her swollen eyes.

"We believe Mr. Grant will wake up safely," the doctor responded, trying to offer scomfort, though his words lacked certainty.

Joycelyn's body shook, and tears poured down her face uncontrollably.

"Oh my, is this your husband? How did he end up like this? What a poor guy!" Kailey surveyed Ellison's injuries and feigned sorrow, putting on a tic display.

"I'll arrange for the two of you to stay in a hotel for now. We can discuss things properly in a couple of days," Haddy said, gesturing for Hanmer and Kailey to follow him.

“It's fine. We'll stay here and keep my daughter company," Hanmer said, not moving, trying to arouse Joycelyn's gratitude.

"Yes, our son-in-law is injured. We need to be here for our daughter. We're her strongest support," Kailey added, waving her hand at Haddy.

Leon, clearly annoyed, stopped Hanmer and Kailey, allowing the doctor to push Ellison into the hospital room. Joycely followed closely behind, with Sandra by her side.

William and the other bodyguards were also safe and sound.

It was unclear how Haddy managed to get Hanmer and Kailey out of the way and settled in. Without their distracting presence, Joycelyn was finally able to stay by Ellison's side.

She inquired about the doctor, fetched a basin of warm water, and began wiping the blood from Ellison's body.

She lifted the thin quilt. Ellison's tunic and pants had been cut open by the doctor. His firm waist and stomach were covered in small cuts, which Joycelyn gently wiped away, tears falling as she did.

Leon, struggling to keep it together, took out a handkerchief and wiped Sandrd's face. "What are you crying out s lucky. He'll be fine" Just then, the door to the hospital room opened, Joycelyn stepped out, looking tired, "As for the car accident and Ellison's injuries, we're keeping it a secret for now. Don't tell anyone, especially not Isolde. If she asks, just say that Ellison went on a business trip abroad and will be back beer? "I understand, Sandra replied, nodding "Don't worry, the news has been suppressed. The bodyguard's family has been taken care of. The compensation will be credited to his parents' account within three days, and Grant Group will ensure that his family will have everything they need" Haddy added, "Well, thank you, Haddy Joycelyn said, offering her gratitude.

At that moment, Haddy's phone rang He answered it and then hung up after a brief conversation. He looked at the message on his screen.

"The identity of the truck driver has been verified. His nis Lucian Mercer, I'll have someone investigate if he has any connection to Ellison" Haddy informed them.

Joycelyn's face paled at the name. “Lucian Mercer? Show me!" Haddy handed her the phone, and when Joycelyn saw the familiar face, her blood seemed to freeze.

"This is my stepfather's brother," she whispered, her voice shaking. "He has two other sons. He tried to rapebefore, and Ellison had to intervene and deal with him. But the Mercer family doesn't know Ellison's true identity, and they couldn't possibly know his whereabouts, right?" Joycelyn had never realized it was Lucian behind the accident.

Haddy nodded, his face serious. "I'll look into it immediately.

Joycelyn's expression tightened as she tried to process the information. Her chest tightened with a mix of emotions, her heart racing with both fear and anger.

"Joycelyn, I asked someone to send us sfood. You haven't eaten all day," Sandra said gently as the nutritionist pushed a food cart into the room.

The events of the day had turned her world upside down. She had to stay strong.

"Yes!" Sandra nodded, her face serious. “The family's records are mostly unfiled. Ellison went to pick them up jive to personally examine them. Joycelyn, whether they're your real parents or not, if you don't like them, jest sendback where they cfrom "Uh-huh." Joycelyn agreed.

Before that, she just wanted to get a definitive result.

After dinner, Joycelyn called Isolde to explain that she was spending the evening with Sandra and made my an excuse to avoid returning hfor dinner.

Once she had calmed Isolde, Joycelyn stayed in the hospital room with Ellison, watching over him throughout the night She couldn't sleep, only finding srelief when she saw the steady beeping of the ECC machine When morning came, she was exhausted but too tired to do anything. She lay down next to Ellison, resting her head on his arm for a few moments.

After a short nap, the sound of commotion outside the room woke her. It sounded like there was an argument going on.

Frowning. Joycelyn glanced at Ellison, who was still unconscious, then quickly got up and walked to the door.

She was met by Hanmer and Kailey, blocking the entrance to the elevator, accompanied by several other people.

They had brought with them a collection of noisy fowls-geese honking and ducks quacking, filling the entire ward with noise.

Apparently, Hanmer and Kailey had overheard the doctor refer to Ellison as "Mr. Grant" and thinking he was ap important figure, decided to visit under the pretense of concern, hoping to take advantage of his accident.

"They're all my family-my daughters, son-in-laws, and son. Mr. Grant is my son-in-law too. Who are you to keep us out?" Kailey shouted, pointing angrily at the tall security guard, her voice loud and bossy, looking like a totally domineering rural woman.

"This is a hospital! What's all this arguing about?" Joycelyn said, her irritation clear, her eyes cold as she sured at the group gathered at the elevator door.

"Emily, your husband's injured. I brought shome-raised chickens and ducks to help him recover, m Kaikey said, pulling a pudgy boy forward as if he were a prize. "This is your little brother, Andrew Lester. He's 18 this year." Joycelyn looked at the unfamiliar teenager, her face betraying no emotion.

"You all need to leave. This is a hospital, not a place for this kind of scene," she said firmly. She now felt that this group people was even more annoying than the Mercer family.

Leah, from the next ward, overheard the commotion and hid in the doorway, clenching her fists in disgust.

She used to have features similar to the Lester family before she had surgery to alter her appearance.

She had destroyed all the photos, but if anyone of the Mason family investigated, they'd find a problem. Leah was deep in thought when she suddenly felt a cold, intense gaze on her.

Leah panicked, "Kingston... you're awake?
