Forced Marriage: My Wife, My Redemption by Lilyheart

Chapter 414 414: Coincidentally meeting

Davis swallowed hard and with a deep breath he got his racing heart together, he didn't expect that even with the knowledge of Josh Anderson arrival that he did be stumped to see him.

"Mr. Anders?" he greeted, his voice calm and firm despite the storm raging within.

Josh brow furrowed as he looked up at the nameplate on the door to confirm if this was the address sent over by Julian.

He was certain he was at the right place. But with the young man before him, his thoughts raced with questions.

"Mr. Anders?" Davis called again, his tone sharper, snapping Josh out of his thoughts.

"Dave, how are you doing? Why are you here?" He fired all in one breath.

From that reaction, Davis quickly deduced that Julian had not told him anything about his marriage to Jessica.

Relief washed over him, perhaps it would be easier to handle the situation this way.

Perhaps… he could even exploit the relationship between them.

He stepped outside, closing the door firmly behind him. "My wife is in the ICU. She was in an accident."

"Your wife?" Josh repeated, stunned. "But…" He paused, glancing around the corridor. This was clearly the private ICU on the top floor, the only ICU here, guarded and secured.

Shaking his head, he pulled out his phone, ready to call Julian, but Davis's words stopped him.

"Don't call Julian. You're not at the wrong place," Davis said.

Josh arched a brow, suspicion flickering in his gaze. "Not wrong?"

"Yes. Coincidentally, your daughter happens to be my wife," Davis explained.

Josh's frame swayed slightly, his balance faltering. "Impossible," he muttered. His gaze searched Davis's face for any sign of a lie but there was nothing. Only blank honesty.

"My daughter, your wife?" Josh asked, his voice a few decibels higher. He glanced around the corridor..

"How was that possible? Are you married? But you didn't mention it last time you came."

Davis nodded. "Yes, with how brief my visit was. We couldn't talk about it properly.".

"Then how did she…?" Josh began, but Davis pushed the ward door open and stepped inside before he could finish.

"Before I could return from the summit, the accident had already happened," Davis said, bitterness lacing his tone.
