The Millionaire And His Billionaire Ex-Wife

Chapter 324

Chapter 324

When Joshua woke up again, the strong smell of disinfectant flooded his nose.

There was a steady beeping from the machines somewhere nearby.

After a brief moment of disorientation, he shot up in bed.

Eliza and Aaron, who had been sitting by his side, were startled by his sudden movement. They quickly moved closer, concern etched on their faces.

“Joshua, are you okay? You scared me half to death!” Eliza cried out, her voice choked as she threw her arms around him.

Joshua had been unconscious for a full day and night.

Eliza had been terrified that he might never wake up.

Fragments of what happened before he passed out flashed rapidly through Joshua’s mind. He broke free from Eliza’s embrace and locked his eyes on her, desperation written all over his face, silently begging for answers.

“Mom, where’s Xylia?” Joshua pressed, his voice tight with anxiety.

Eliza’s eyes darted away, clearly avoiding Joshua’s gaze. She fidgeted and tried to deflect, saying softly, “You just woke up. You need to rest a bit longer. I’ll call the doctor to come and check on you again.”

With that, Eliza quickly slipped out of the room.

Joshua didn’t hesitate–he ripped out the IV drip, tossed the blanket aside, and tried to swing his legs off the bed.

Aaron stepped in to block him.

“Just wait a second,” he said.

“I’m not freaking out, am I?” Joshua shot back with a cold sneer, his bloodshot eyes boring into Aaron.

“Xylia was on that plane. I need to find her,” he said flatly, making it clear he wasn’t taking no for an answer.

Aaron’s frown deepened as he watched Joshua’s steady tone.

He knew his son better than anyone. “The calmer Joshua gets, the crazier he is inside,‘ Aaron thought, anxiety knotting in his chest.

Aaron knew that if he let Joshua go now, there was no telling what kind of reckless thing his son might pull.

He reached out to steady Joshua, placing a reassuring hand on his shoulder.

Joshua didn’t even hesitate. He shoved Aaron’s hand off, hard, not holding back one bit.

Aaron’s hand immediately flushed red from the force. ‘What an ungrateful brat!‘ he thought, his frustration surging.

‘Little ingrate!‘ Aaron fumed inwardly.

“If I’m guessing right, Xylia’s probably safe,” Aaron said, his voice steady, trying to calm Joshua.

Joshua’s movements slowed, then stopped as Aaron spoke.

He lifted his gaze to Aaron, eyes full of questions. “What do you mean?”

Seeing Joshua finally calm down, Aaron waited a moment, then pulled out his phone. His fingers flew as he pulled something up.
