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 some comfort, 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 dramatic 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.
