Adrian never thought that Joshua would be able to uncover secrets that happened more than 20 years ago, even before he was born!
Adrian immediately broke out in cold sweats. He stood up and said in a shaky voice, "Does this... Does this mean that if I visit Mother now, you won't...track down the doctor who tried to save your mother?"
Joshua glanced at him. "What do you think?"
"I..." Adrian let out an exhale. "I think that as long as I visit Mother now, you’ll let all of this go!"
With that, he circled past Joshua, hurried down the hallway, and disappeared from view.
Joshua narrowed his eyes as he watched Adrian leave. He curled his lips into a smirk and tucked his phone away.
Of course he would not let Adrian off the hook so quickly.
No one-apart from Rianna herself-could forgive Adrian for what he had done. Alas, she had been dead for more than 20 years. 1
The only reason Joshua did this was to soothe Granny’s worries about the rivalry between him and Adrian as much as possible before she passed.
Joshua knew that if Rianna was alive, she would
approve of this decision.
"Hey, Joshua.” Michael gulped as he leaned against the headboard, staring at the tall, slender man standing at the door. "If you don't want to let my mother out... Can you at least get me a few more nurses to look after me?"
Joshua raised his eyebrows and glanced at Michael." How many nurses do you have now?”
Michael bit down on his lip. "I have...four.”
Joshua shot Michael a cold glare and replied curtly," Well, then, you’ll only have one starting tomorrow."
