Ellison And Joycelyn: A Love Beyond The Rules

Joycelyn went up to the inpatient department.

Her mother was moved from a shared ward to a private ward.

Wearing a mask, Joycelyn pretended to pass by the doorway of the ward to take a glance inside.

She saw her mother leaning against the headboard, drinking water.

Zoe, my water is a little cold. Add some hot water for me.”

Joycelyn slowed down when she heard a cautious voice. She stopped at the doorway and listened carefully.

“So what if it’s a bit cold? Just drink it. What’s with all the fuss every day?”

The voice of the middle–aged female caregiver named Zoe Jackson was filled with impatience.

Iris had no choice but to lower the glass she was holding, not saying another word.

Joycelyn could sense that at this moment, her mother must be looking meek and submissive.

If Joycelyn hadn’t seen that flash of sharpness in Iris’s eyes before, she would have thought Iris was a doormat who always endured whatever came her way.

“They say that when middle–aged and elderly people are hospitalized alone, they’ll be neglected and mistreated,” she thought. “Unexpectedly, this kind of thing happens to my mom!

In the ward, Iris didn’t say anything else. Instead, it was that caregiver called Zoe who kept blabbering, speaking very impatiently.

Joycelyn stood by the door and listened with her arms crossed, waiting for the caregiver in the ward to come out.

“Iris, if your sister–in–law asks me to take care of both her sons next time, we’ll terminate the contract,” Zoe said. “They say money’s hard to earn, Your family is really awful.

“How vicious do you think people have to be to get the just deserts of their sons turning impotent? What an eye–opener. It’s really unlucky.”

Joycelyn frowned as she heard the caregiver’s curses.

Her opinion of Zoe wasn’t as negative anymore. What’s more, she even found this bold middle–aged woman somewhat

She thought, “The two brothers from the Mercer family kidnapped me, and their outcome was so disastrous. It makes sense that if they can’t find me, they’d cause a scene at the ward. Zoe is probably not someone to mess with either

In the ward, Iris didn’t dare to speak up. She just let the caregiver scold and lecture her.

When the caregiver was done packing and came out, she saw Joycelyn standing by the door, wearing a mask.
