Something had happened to Rosalyn!
Jim immediately stood up and stormed out the door, having forgotten about the conversation he was having with Joshua. "Christopher! Christopher!"
Meanwhile, Christopher sprinted out of another room i n a far corner of the house and asked, "What's wrong?"
Jim did not even have the time to explain. Instead, he grabbed hold of Christopher’s wrist and ran out the door. Christopher was still wearing his indoor slippers, and, having been dragged out of the house, his slippers had fallen off. He was dragged onto the car with his feet bare.
Joshua stood by the window and watched this unfold. As soon as he saw the worry on Jim's face, he followed them out the door.
At night, most of the servants and the driver had already gone home for the day, and there were only a few bodyguards left.
Jim slid into the driver's seat, but he was so nervous that he could not even ignite the engine. He was frustrated by this and picked up his phone. "One of the bodyguards, come out and bring Christopher and me to the hospital!"
As soon as he made the call, someone pulled the driver's side door open.
Joshua furrowed his brows and glanced at Jim." There are only a few guards keeping watch at Swan Lake Chalet tonight. Both Harvey and June are fast asleep. What if something happens while the guards are away with you?"
Jim fell into silence when he heard this. He pursed his lips and replied, "But Christopher doesn't know how to drive-"
"I'll drive." Joshua let out an exhale and pulled Jim out of the driver’s seat. "Rosalyn and I aren't related, so I'll be more careful than you if I were to drive."
Jim froze for a moment, then exchanged a glance with Christopher, who was in the backseat. The two of them did not say a word, nor did they move an inch.
Joshua knew what they were concerned about, so he said, "I'm just here to drive you to the hospital; I'll wait for you downstairs. If I don't go up, the Landry family won't notice me at all."
Even though he still harbored hatred toward the Landry family, Jim had helped him tremendously during this time, so he would not want to cause Jim any trouble at all.
Jim and Christopher exchanged another glance. Finally, Jim let out an exhale and got into the passenger’s seat.
Joshua's driving was indeed far more careful than what Jim's would have been. He knew that Jim was worried about Rosalyn's condition, so he stepped on the gas as fast as possible while ensuring that they were within a safe limit.
The car soon arrived at the hospital.
