Ellison And Joycelyn: A Love Beyond The Rules

Chapter 309 Shirley glanced at Jeff teasingly. "Alright. I know you'll be hostile toward Joycelyn's husband." As she held the ring up to the sunlight, she casually added, "But you're not the only one. You have your brothers. I hear Mr. Grant is quite the character too. Watching you four men together is bound to be entertaining." Jeff remained expressionless, utterly indifferent to Ellison. "If he doesn't wake up, then so be it. The Spencer family can afford to take care of Joycelyn and the baby." Shirley rolled her eyes. "But I can tell Joycelyn truly loves him.” Jeff rolled his eyes. He had heard of Ellison's capabilities and influence. From a man's perspective, he admired him.

But in Jeff's eyes, Ellison was someone who had stolen his beloved cousin.

40 Shirley said, "This ring's serial number might have been altered. Whoever did this is meticulous. We'll probably have to wait until Ellison wakes up to investigate properly." Jeff asked, "Can't we trace it through the medicinal ingredients?" Shirley replied, "Apparently, the doctor in charge of the medication was in the accident with Mr. Grant... and is also still unconscious." Jeff was annoyed. "That's a huge inconvenience." Shirley added, "One thing at a time. Right now, the priority is for Joycelyn to recover. Thankfully, the Grant family has good resources.

"Otherwise, with all this internal and external turmoil, the baby wouldn't have survived. But now, there's still a great chance." "Alright." Jeff nodded.

In the ward, Joycelyn lay in her hospital bed, both of her small hands wrapped around Ellison's uninjured left hand.

Before long, she dozed off again, but her sleep was restless, filled with murmurs.

"Ellison..." Her voice carried a sobbing tone, making anyone who heard it feel heartbroken.

Suddenly, Ellison's fingers twitched slightly and tightened around her delicate hands. His eyelashes trembled.

After what seemed like an intense internal battle, his eyelids parted slightly for a brief moment before he weakly shut them again. But that fleeting glance was enough to put his heart at ease.

The moment his familiar, warm palm enclosed her small hands, Joycelyn's nightmare seemed to settle, as if she had found solace in his presence.

Jeff paced back and forth outside the hallway, occasionally peeking through the glass window of the hospital room. He looked like an anxious old father.

Sandra had noticed this several times but found the situation odd enough to hold her tongue.

However, when Jeff leaned in to sneak a glance inside again, Sandra tiptoed up behind him and followed his line of sight.

She asked, "Jeff, why are you so anxious?" Jeff said, "Sandra, don't you think Joycelyn is really good-looking? And don't you think she looks a bit like me?" 1/4 09:15 Sat, 15 Mar Chapter 309 His tone carried the spride and adoration of an older brother who had spent his childhood glued to his little sister's side. When talking about Joycelyn, his expression was filled with nothing but pride and affection.

Jeff had always been the eldest in the family, the one everyone had high hopes for, the one carrying the weight of responsibility.

But all his younger siblings were brothers. It was exhausting.

Then, his aunt had a baby girl. She was soft and adorable. He adored her from the moment she was born.

She was a sweet, obedient child, with a chubby little face that could heal any wound just by smiling.

+40 In many ways, she had given Jeff immense strength. Unfortunately, she went missing when she was just over three years old. Ever since then, his world had darkened. A part of his heart had felt empty.

Sandra's jaw dropped. "Wait... Hold on... You're not trying to be Ellison's father-in-law, are you?" Jeff's smile instantly froze.

Due to Joycelyn's current fragile condition, he couldn't reveal to her yet that she was actually his long-lost cousin. Instead, he first shared the news with Sandra.

Hearing this, Sandra was utterly shocked. "Oh my God! Really?" Jeff hurriedly said, "Now is not the tto say anything. We have to wait until Ellison wakes up. Don't let her get too emotional." Sandra nodded rapidly. "Okay! We've been searching high and low, and now it just fell into place!" Her excitement was so loud that it startled Joycelyn awake. She immediately opened her eyes, thinking Ellison had woken up.

However, when she saw that he was still the same, her hopeful smile faded into disappointment.

But then she looked down and noticed that he was holding her hand.

"Honey!" Even someone as emotionally stable as Joycelyn couldn't hold back from exclaiming.

At her sudden outburst, the numbers on the heart monitor spiked for two seconds.

Outside, Sandra and Jeff rushed in like a gust of wind. "What happened?" "He... He held my hand! Is he waking up?" Joycelyn's pale face flushed with excitement.

Jeff and Sandra leaned in for a closer look. It was true.

"Go get Shirley and have her check him," Jeff urged Sandra.

When Shirley arrived to examine Ellison, her tone was lighter than ever.

She explained, "Mr. Grant's overall health indicators are recovering very well. His brain injuries are also healing on their own. He will gradually wake up. Just give him a little more time." "Great! I'll let Grandma know," Sandra said, hurrying out to call Luna and report the situation.

However, as Sandra listened to the response on the other end of the phone, the smile on her face slowly faded. Joycelyn said, "Sandra, ask Isolde when she'll be back so we can have dinner together tonight." Chapter 309 Good news always lifted one's spirit. Even a small improvement could brighten Joycelyn's mood "Grandma and the others have an engagement tonight, so they won't be coming back for dinner. How do we wher instead?" Sandra put away her phone, deliberately keeping her tone light.

"Sure." Joycelyn, in a great mood, even felt her appetite improving Caught up in her happiness, she didn't notice Sandra whispering to Shirley and Jeff in secret Meanwhile, the news reports were painting a grim picture. The Grant Group's CEO had fallen into a coma, plunging the company into turmoil. Isolde had stepped back into leadership, hoping to stabilize the situation But unexpectedly, the external world beceven more convinced that Ellison would never wake up. The respect the company once commanded quickly turned into reckless opportunism.

Stock prices plummeted, projects were put on hold, investors pulled out, and even rival companies began aggressively poaching executives.

A fierce battle erupted within the board of directors. The Grant family members demanded a redistribution Ve of power seeking to transform mere managerial authority into actual ownership. They wanted to split the company into four parts. The biggest beneficiaries were the Schultz siblings, who had allied themselves with Sibyl's faction Unaware of these external changes, Joycelyn, cautious about radiation exposure, had barely touched her phone.

The next day, Joycelyn woke up to find that her bed hadn't been moved the night before.

She had fallen asleep right next to Ellison, their hands still tightly clasped together.

Feeling the faint strength in his fingers, she couldn't help but beam with happiness. "Good morning."

"Joycelyn... We need to head to the company. There's a board meeting this morning, and everyone has ve.

m joined forces against Grandma. Things aren't looking great.” Sandra had no other choice but to call Joycelyn in. Because overnight, the winds had completely changed.

News had leaked about Isolde's hospitalization, raising concerns that the elderly woman might pass away at any moment.

Meanwhile, the media had started portraying Joycelyn as an ambitious new power figure who got pregnant suspiciously fast after her husband's coma.

They implied that everything was planned by her.

The Grant Group was in chaos. Many believed Joycelyn was ruthless and power-hungry, and the company Shungry, and would soon fall into her grasp. While the they pretended to follow Isolde's lead, all eyes were on Joycelyn's rising authority. Upon hearing all this, Joycelyn didn't hesitate. She had Sandra fetch her a business suit, quickly changed, and rushed out the door.

Just minutes after they left, Ellison, who had been in a coma for over twenty days, slowly opened his eyes. H s awakened.
