Chapter 964 - 252: What Gave You The Illusion That I Would Believe You?

Eyebrows raised, Hazel walked elsewhere as if she heard nothing.

"Hazel!" Henry's face looked particularly unattractive. He caught up with her and sneered. "I advise you to leave early, so you won't lose all self-respect here!"

She stopped and looked at him coldly. "If I left, Joshua would not find me. You wish!"

"You don't believe me?" His eyes flashed with a cold light.

"What gave you the illusion that I would believe you?" She looked surprised.

"Then you'll wait and be laughed at by all!" said he, gnashing his teeth. Then he left with a cold grunt.

"... Psycho!" She mumbled, speechless. But then she couldn't help but furrow slightly because Henry wouldn't just come to say such a weird comment to her for no reason. Would Joshua... really be unable to come?

***

Joshua was on his way to Quantum University. He certainly wanted to spend time with Hazel at her school anniversary ball.

He frowned a little as the phone rang. The call was from Jaxson. Jaxson knew about his schedule tonight, but he still chose to call at this time. It seemed that something urgent had happened.

So, Joshua answered the phone and asked in a deep voice, "Jaxson, what's the matter?"

"President, something is wrong," Jaxson's voice sounded a little worried. "There's something wrong with the Flores family!"

Joshua looked a little cautious as the Flores family was still restless. Then he asked coldly. "What's the matter?"

"Lanny was in a car accident, and he seems to be badly hurt." Jaxson continued, "His wife called me and said he wanted to see you for the last time..."

"Was his accident real or not?" Joshua's eyes were a little deeper. It was too much of a coincidence to have a car accident at this time.

"I checked, and the accident was true," Jaxson explained, "but it's not clear if his condition is that serious. I am now in the hospital. Lanny has been taken to the emergency room."

Joshua frowned slightly. Would the Flores family use a car accident trick as a way to stay? They were scrupulous.

Before he could speak, he heard Jaxson say in surprise, "What are you doing? This is my phone…"

There was an argument, and Jaxson's phone seemed to have been taken by someone. Soon Joshua heard Caroline crying.

"Joshua, my husband, is bleeding a lot," said Caroline, crying. "I'm so scared. Do you think he will die? Please come over, I'm afraid this is the last time you can meet him! If you don't come, I shall not live, either…"

"Mrs. Flores, don't get excited…"

There was another argument on the phone, and it seemed that Jaxson stopped Caroline, who was trying to kill herself.

Joshua's brows were furrowed more tightly. Whether or not it was a trick, he had to go to check if Lanny's situation was serious.

"I'll be right there," said Joshua quietly.

Hearing his words, the crying on the other end of the phone stopped. Joshua hung up and said to the driver, "Turn around and go to the hospital."

Jaxson was waiting in the hospital while Caroline was still crying but not as desperate as before. Suddenly, they heard the sound of footsteps. They looked up and saw Joshua was coming with a team of doctors.

Caroline froze instantly. Why did Joshua bring the doctors? Did he suspect that Lanny was pretending?

She was irritated, but she was also a little glad because the person who helped them plan this had warned them in advance. Lanny's condition was not serious, but he was definitely not fake as he looked very horrendous.

"President." Jaxson greeted him as he knew what Joshua was thinking.

But before he could say anything, Caroline thrust him away and came to Joshua with a face full of anger.

She questioned him angrily. "Joshua Denmark, what do you mean by bringing people with you? Do you suspect my husband of faking it? How could you do this? Do you think we'll play a joke on you with such a serious matter?"

Looking at Caroline, who was talking with no guilt on her face, Joshua's eyes got darker.

"Mrs. Flores, you misunderstood," Jaxson hurriedly explained. "The President doesn't doubt you; he just wants to help Mr. Flores transfer to another hospital."

"... Another hospital?" Caroline froze instantly.

"Denmark Group has its own private hospital. Both its medical conditions and medical level are much better than here. Let Mr. Flores be transferred there, he will be cured sooner," Jaxson continued.

Caroline was in a panic because such a situation had never occurred to her, and she didn't know how to deal with it.

What made her more worried was that the person had arranged for them, and Lanny should be able to stay in the hospital long enough with the injury as planned.

But if they went to the private hospital of Denmark Group, people there would listen to Joshua. After that, as long as Lanny was cured, their trick would not be able to be hidden from Joshua. How could that be?

Caroline racked her brain. "This… will private hospitals be more expensive?"

"You can rest assured that our President will pay all the expenses," Jaxson explained.

"How, however," she stammered, "my husband is still under surveillance."

"We have contacted the hospital ahead of time, and there is no problem with the transfer now," said the doctor next to them.

The doctors had gone in to see Lanny, the door of the room opened, and the doctors walked out to talk about the transfer.

Caroline became more panic-stricken. She couldn't find any reason to disagree.

Before she could say anything, Joshua said quietly, "Mrs. Flores, it's most important to save the patient now. If you try to stop us again, I'm afraid that Mr. Flores might misunderstand and think that you don't want to save him."

Caroline felt scared deep down in her heart. Did Joshua mean that he had begun to doubt her?

She didn't dare say anything more but just watched.

"By the way, I think you were probably too worried to remember, so I called your son and daughter. They will go to the hospital together to meet you," said Joshua.

Caroline turned even paler because she had forgotten such a big hole! Henry knew the truth, and she didn't like Theresa at all, so she didn't even think of informing them.

It seemed that Joshua really doubted them. She would have to be more careful, and she couldn't do anything that would raise his suspicion.

"Thank, thank you so much." The corners of Caroline's mouth twitched. "I am so careless. I forgot everything when I was worried…"
