Ellison And Joycelyn: A Love Beyond The Rules

Chapter 291 Chapter 291 Joycelyn woke up and started packing Ellison's things, not even bothering to eat.

If the others knew about Ellison's car accident and coma, not to mention the chaos it would cause at the company, Isolde would definitely be devastated.

Joycelyn couldn't let that happen.

She propped herself up on the side of the bed and bent down to smooth Ellison's hair away from his forehead. Her voice was soft and full of anticipation. "Ellison, when are you going to wake up?" Normally, Ellison would respond to her words, but now he lay there, breathing shallowly, asleep and still.

Joycelyn sighed and attempted to straighten up, but suddenly, a sharp pain shot through her belly, and her head swam.

She hurried to the table and grabbed a piece of sweet watermelon to stave off the hypoglycemia from her hunger.

It wasn't long before Sandra entered with the doctor.

"Joycelyn, the doctor says Ellison is still in a deep coma. It's not a good idea to transfer him right now," Sandra said.

Joycelyn paused, considering for a few seconds. The sweet taste of the watermelon turned bland in her mouth. "Alright, since it's inconvenient to transfer him now, we'll leave things as they are for now. I hope the hospital maintains confidentiality and doesn't let anyone disturb my husband's treatment." "Don't worry, Mrs. Grant. We'll take care of it," the doctor said.

Joycelyn nodded in thanks.

+13 When the doctor left, Sandra closed the door behind her. "Bellina is definitely hospitalized here, and since Ellison can't be transferred for the tbeing, I'm going to increase our security. She must've seen you confront that Lester family, and now she's scheming to make you a joke, so she had someone arrange for the Lester family." Sandra gritted her teeth when she spoke Bellina's name. "That evil woman!" Joycelyn nodded, her expression calm. "I think so. When the police cto ask for the statement, we'll just tell them the truth. By the way, are the Lester family also in this hospital?" "No, they are in a regular hospital now. I asked Leon to look into it, and it seems to be a severe case of food poisoning. Several children died on the way, and the adults are in critical condition now. It's the worst food poisoning incident in the past ten years. The restaurant has been shut down now," Sandra said.

Sandra took out her phone and scrolled through the news.

Joycelyn was surprised. She was even shocked. She looked at her dinner in front of her and was very hungry. But she was afraid to eat.

"Don't worry, this is a nutritious meal from our own kitchen. You didn't have lunch, so hurry up and eat." Sandra then showed Joycelyn the news report about the incident.

"It's so strange. The Lester family had just cfrom the countryside, so they shouldn't have been involved in anything shady. The restaurant's supposed to be famous. There shouldn't be such severe food poisoning," Joycelyn said.

Joycelyn and Sandra exchanged a glance, both feeling uneasy.

The situation was so strange that it felt like they were surrounded by a fog, leaving everyone feeling suspicious.

13 Chapter 291 "I think it's their retribution." Sandra said again. "They were thinking of taking advantage of Ellison's situation, and now they're paying the price.

Sandra returned her phone to her bag. You have sfood first. Joycelyn. The police will be here soon. They're downstairs reviewing the surveillance footage." "Okay" Joycelyn stood and went to the restroom.

The moment she stood up, she felt a sharp cramp in her belly.

A woman's intuition told her it was her period.

When she checked in the bathroom, her hunch was right. Luckily, the ward was well-equipped for these things.

After washing her hands, Joycelyn ate slight food. Just as she finished, the police arrived.

She stood up and walked slowly to meet them. She looked at the three police officers and sat down to answer their questions.

Meanwhile, Bellina was being questioned by the police as well.

Her driver had taken the Lester family to the restaurant.

When Bellina saw the police, her attitude immediately soured.

"You think I did that? Why would I do that? They're just from a poor family. I just gave them a ride to a nice meal. It must have been Joycelyn who didn't want to recognize her family, so she poisoned the whole Lester family and then blamed it on me. That wicked woman!" Bellina cursed angrily.

"Belle, stop making nonsense," Jersnapped at her.

Bellina rolled her eyes. “I was kind enough to give them a ride, and now I'm being blamed. Unbelievable." The police took a quick statement from her.

Joycelyn also briefly explained the situation to the police.

Although it was a family investigation, no direct evidence of blood relations was found.

The family had arrived uninvited, and after Joycelyn explained everything she knew, the police left.

Joycelyn and Sandra bid the officers farewell and were about to return to the ward when the door of the neighboring room opened.

Leah stepped out, her face cold, and shut the door behind her.

"Dr. Mason, is your brother awake?" Joycelyn asked, moving toward the ward to visit Kingston.

But Leah blocked the way. "My brother isn't awake yet. Don't disturb him." Leah's tone was icy and dismissive.

"Okay, Sandra, let's go back." Joycelyn saw the deep hostility in Leah's eyes, so she didn't insist on going in.

After a night, more news cabout the Lester family's food poisoning case.

The death toll had risen from six to eight, with three others still in comas.

The details of the poisoning were released: the family had eaten at a restaurant known for its seafood, but the problem lay with the homemade mushroom sauce.

13 Mar 94% Chapter 291 The mushrooms had been wild, picked from the mountains. While they were tasty, improper preparation had caused a chemical reaction when mixed with the seafood, leading to severe poisoning Joycelyn sat quietly in her hospital room, waiting for Ellison to wake up, not paying much attention to the news, It was Sandra who noticed the media swarm outside the hospital, along with Erin in her wheelchair, preparing to make a statement.

"Joycelyn, the inteis buzzing with rumors about you and Erin being related. They want you to step in and settle this Sandra was fuming.

The media becinvolved now at this juncture, and if word got out, it could send shockwaves throughout the entire Grant Group.

"Sandra, didn't you take their blood samples yesterday? Call the doctor and have them take mine, too,” Joycelyn said.

Joycelyn's face remained calm as she spoke, unruffled by the rumors but intent on taking the first step toward a paternity test.

If the Lester family was indeed her family, she'd need a plan.

If not, she'd let the police handle the situation.

"Okay!" Sandra immediately made arrangements.

At the hospital's main entrance, reporters were already broadcasting live, waiting for Joycelyn to respond.

But Joycelyn didn't show up, and the hospital kept her identity under m wraps, so no one knew the nor appearance of the woman Erin was looking for. Bellina, who was downstairs, noticed the swarm of reporters and realized they were all here to cover Joycelyn.

"This is my chance for revenge!" Bellina smiled smugly, then stepped forward to confront the media, "Hey, the you're just a woman from the countryside. How dare you ask for a paternity test with Mrs. Grant? Even if you are her sister, she won't recognize someone like you, a poor relative." Bellina stood in front of the cameras, arms crossed, exuding arrogance.

The mention of "Mrs. Grant" caught the reporters' attention.

"Could it be Mrs. Grant, the wife of Ellison, who is the president of Grant Group?" one asked.

"Yeah." Bellina nodded with a smug smile.

"So, what's your relationship with Mrs. Grant? Why is she in the hospital?" someone asked.

"My nis Bellina, and the Schultz family is friends with the Grant m family. She's in the hospital because she's not feeling well, of course." Bellina answered hastily. She paused, suddenly unsure.

'Wait, Joycelyn seems fine. Why is she staying in the hospital? What is going on?' she thought.
