Ellison And Joycelyn: A Love Beyond The Rules

Chapter 289 94% Leah immediately closed the door to the hospital room and slowly walked over to Kingston's bedside.

Kingston struggled to remove the oxygen mask, his lips pale. The injuries made him appear unusually weak, but the coldness in his eyes remained sharper than ever.

"Mrs. Grant... the paternity test... I didn't tell you... how did you know?" Kingston gasped, his voice barely audible, his eyes narrowing as he stared at Leah.

"Kingston, you just woke up. Get srest first," Leah said, feigning concern, avoiding a direct answer. "Answer me!" Kingston snapped coldly, his voice low and harsh despite his weakness.

Leah felt like a jolt of electricity ran through her, her heart racing in shock.

"I overheard it... by accident," she replied, her voice laced with a hint of unease, as though she were revealing shidden truth.

Kingston's expression shifted from anger to disappointment. “So, the Lester family has nothing to do with Mrs. Grant. It's all about you, isn't it? You're the child of the Lester family." Kingston wasn't foolish. He'd still been conscious when they moved him out of the ambulance, and he'd heard the conversation clearly.

Add to that the fact that he had run into Leah outside the lab where he was examined, and her resemblance to the Lester family... It all added up.

The Mason family had raised the daughter of another family for twenty-three years, and Joycelyn, the one struggling to hold on to life, was likely the Mason family's real child.

Kingston ripped the medical equipment from his body, trying to get up and leave the bed.

"Kingston, you're still injured," Leah said, rushing to help, but he shoved her away.

Tears filled Leah's eyes, and her lips trembled as she sobbed. "Kingston..." Leah understood Kingston's nature-cool and indifferent, yet gentle at heart. Even if he found his own sister, he wouldn't drive her away.

But she couldn't bear the thought of losing the pride of her family's status and origins to Joycelyn.

In that moment, Leah's resolve hardened. She pulled a silver needle from her wrist and, without hesitation, stepped forward and stabbed it into the top of Kingston's head.

The Mason family had a long history in traditional medicine, with exceptional skills. Leah, who had studied medicine since childhood, had no trouble subduing a weakened patient.

Kingston's body jolted before going completely still.

His cold, black eyes stared at Leah in disbelief before slowly closing in a relaxed stupor.

"Kingston, you forcedto do this," Leah said, her voice no longer filled with panic, but with cold indifference and malice.

From the start, she had tried to convince him not to help Joycelyn find her family.

Now that it was over, there was no room for mercy.

1/4 07:59 Thu, 13 Mar G Chapter 289 Leah coldly watched as Kingston collapsed back onto the hospital bed and slowly closed his eyes.

She wiped the tears from her face and lifted her chin, regaining her composure.

Outside, a young doctor in a white coat entered.

"Leah, has Kingston woken up?" he asked.

Leah saw it was her husband and quickly masked her emotions. "Yes, but he's too weak and passed out again." She adjusted Kingston's legs back onto the bed and covered him with a thin blanket.

Quentin approached and noted the equipment that had been torn off, clearly indicating that Kingston had regained consciousness, "What happened here..." he said.

"Kingston's condition is stable for now," Leah said, "I'll take care of him personally. I'm not comfortable with anyone else attending to him." "Alright. Don't worry too much. Kingston will pull through," Quentin said reassuringly, stepping in to assist. As a fellow doctor, Quentin noticed the silver needle lodged in Kingston's scalp.

"Kingston will be fine. But now, you have to focus more on both the hospital and the hfront. The Mason family is relying on you now. I'll take care of Kingston, Leah said.

Leah's eyes narrowed sharply, causing Quentin to swallow back whatever he was about to say.

Quentin had always obeyed her and naturally followed her lead.

"I'll face it with you," he added.

“Uh-huh,” Leah responded coldly, hiding the ruthlessness she had just shown.

"Get those people out of here," Leah continued, her voice turning steely. "If the Grant family wants to take them in, they can find their own place. I want them out of the hospital." "They've already been asked to leave," Quentin replied.

Meanwhile, in the next ward, Joycelyn watched the doctor examine Ellison, her face frozen in an expression of coldness after the small incident earlier.

"Doctor, how is Ellison doing?" she asked, her voice tinged with concern.

"Mr. Grant's vitals are stable and he's past the danger zone. Don't worry, Mrs. Grant," the doctor reassured her. "When will he wake up?" Joycelyn pressed, her worry mounting.

Earlier that morning, William and a few of his bodyguards had awoken, but Ellison remained unconscious.

She had heard he had been trying to save William and had taken a blow to the head from debris.

Therefore, his injury was the most serious.

Joycelyn was really worried about him being seriously injured or having any after-effects.

"Mr. Grant's head injury needs further observation, but there's no need to be overly nervous, Mrs. Grant," the doctor said.

+13 2/4 07:59 Thu, 13 Mar Chapter 289 Knowing that the doctor tried to reassure her, Joycelyn nodded stiffly. "Thank you, doctor. You may go now." After the doctor left, Sandra entered the room. "Joycelyn, let's go. It's tfor your blood draw." 94% "Yes, have the bodyguards guard the door. No one gets in or out without proper checks," Joycelyn ordered, her eyes briefly scanning Ellison's quiet form.

She reached out and touched his cheek, reassured by his shallow breathing.

"Let's go." Joycelyn walked out the door.

At the door stood eight solemn, cold and Joycelyn felt a slight sense of relief.

Joycelyn and Sandra took the elevator down. Meanwhile, Leah, now in a mask and with her hands tucked inside her white coat, left through another elevator.

Downstairs, Hanmer and Kailey waited with thei face looked prematurely aged.

youngest son, Andrew Lester, and an older daughter in her thirties, whose Joycelyn didn't recognize most of them and didn't care to ask about the whereabouts of the others.

They sat in the hallway, loud and oblivious, not noticing Joycelyn approaching.

"Mom, is she really my sister?" Andrew said excitedly, his words dripping with enthusiasm. “Her husband gets to stay in such a nice ward. She must be really rich. Maybe we can rely on her when we need to stay in the big city."

"Of course she's your sister," Kailey, who didn't look as plain as she used to, said loudly, her tone smug and flattering now! "She's just a woman, justa and now her husband's hurt. She doesn't have any children, so you'll have to charm her. Then her husband's wealth will be all yours in the future." Kailey patted Andrew on the back with an almost imperative look.

Hanmer, clearly proud of himself, added, "It's a good thing we abandoned her back then. If we hadn't, she wouldn't be living like this now." Their eldest daughter, Erin Lester, chimed in, "Now our whole family will enjoy the luxury soon. That hotel we stayed in yesterday was amazing. Maybe it's even their property." Joycelyn listened to their calculating words with an expressionless face, disgusted to the core.

If she could choose again, she would never have agreed to search for her biological family.

The family Ellison had risked his life to help find were nothing but opportunists, and it hadn't been worth it.

"Tell them to go back to where they cfrom and stay out of my sight," Joycelyn said coldly.

Erin, quick to spot her, jumped to her feet and rushed to her. "Oh my sisiter, you're here! We've all been worried about your husband. You're surely too busy to manage everything alone. If there's anything we can do to help, we'll do it." "Help share my husband's fortune?" Joycelyn sneered, her voice icy as she stepped away from Erin's touch. "You all think you deserve it?"

The Lester family froze, their faces stiffening, but Hanmer quickly your stepped forward, using his fatherly authority to scold her. We are y to blood relatives! Your wealth should be family property. It's common for a family to help each other out. Withoutand your mom giving birth to you, how would you be here to enjoy the riches?" +13 07:59 Thu, 13 Mar Chapter 290
