Joshua placed his palms on Lorelei's shoulders and pressed down firmly to keep her from moving around. Raising his voice, he exclaimed, "Where's Sherry? Hurry, get Sherry over here!"The nearby helpers quickly bowed their heads and hastened off to find Sherry.Shortly after, Sherry, wearing an apron, hurriedly arrived."What's the matter, Mr. Grayson?" she asked anxiously. With her head slightly lowered, she wiped her hands on her apron.She raised her head and saw Joshua tightly holding onto Lorelei. "W-What's happening here, Mr. Grayson?"Sherry didn't bother wiping her hands and rushed straight to the bed, snatching Lorelei away from Joshua's grasp. She then positioned herself protectively in front of Lorelei."Why are you doing this to Madam Lorelei? Madam Lorelei hasn't been well these days. You shouldn't treat her this way."Joshua remained upright and paid no heed to Sherry's words. He gazed down at Sherry and calmly asked, "Has my mom taken her medicine today?""Yes, sh

Joshua placed his phone to his ear expressionlessly. His voice was devoid of emotion as he instructed, "Park the car at the entrance and take Ms. Lovelace back to her apartment."Andrew acknowledged the order from the other end.Seeing Joshua's serious expression and the fact that he really made the call, Natalie was instantly unsettled."Josh, I want to see Grandpa Philip, even if just for a moment. I want to see how he's doing… Despite how Grandpa Philip treated me poorly in the past, he's still my elder. I feel I should check on him," Natalie pleaded earnestly.The reason she followed Joshua to Grayson Villa was to check on Philip's condition. She wanted to see how much longer he could hold on, so she could prepare accordingly.If there were signs of recovery, she'd have to strike again. If his end was near, then most of her worries would be over. In that case, she could simply sit back and wait for news of Philip's passing.However, if she left now without seeing Philip, then

"What are you doing?" Joshua was startled by Natalie's sudden move. Bending down, he extended his hand to pull Natalie up. "Why are you kneeling? Come on, get up."Natalie stubbornly shook her head. "I'm not getting up. Lorelei has disliked me for years. If we don't resolve this today, I might not just lose the chance to see Grandpa Philip, I might also lose you!"Joshua's voice softened. "She won't stop me from seeing you. Come on, get up first, and then we'll talk."Natalie remained unmoved.Joshua tightened his grip, and his lips pressed together. In this current situation, he…He found himself caught between the two, utterly unsure of what to do. On one side was his mother, while on the other was his lover. He felt completely torn.Lorelei watched Natalie kneeling before her with indifference and paid her no attention whatsoever as if she hadn't heard a word. She even expressionlessly ran her fingers through her hair.With Lorelei remaining silent, Sherry naturally stayed si

Drake kept his head low. He was afraid to meet Joshua's gaze, and naturally, he didn't hear his words.With a grim expression, Joshua asked again, "Are you sure it's just a month?"As Joshua spoke, he slowly approached Drake. In no time, he stood right in front of the latter and exuded a strong sense of authority.This time, Drake heard clearly, and he nodded frantically. "I'm certain. Mr. Grayson Senior's condition is rapidly deteriorating."The medication is too toxic. Initially, it could barely maintain his vegetative state, but now, I don't know what's going on…"After a brief pause, he continued, "I don't know why, but Mr. Grayson Senior's condition is worsening. Now, we can't even maintain his vegetative state—"Before Drake could finish his sentence, Joshua abruptly blurted out, infuriated, "You can't maintain it? You're telling me it can't be maintained?" There was a palpable chill in his tone.With each word, Joshua moved closer, gradually cornering Drake against the wa

It was freezing outside, especially now that it was already nighttime, so the temperature was even lower. Natalie shivered as soon as she stepped out of the villa.Though she was unwilling to freeze alongside Joshua out there, she still chose to stand by Joshua's side to maintain her image as an understanding person."Josh, let me get you a coat, okay? It's very cold out here. You might catch a cold later."Still, all she got in response was silence.However, Natalie didn't feel awkward at all. She continued, "How about I get you a glass of water?"With that, she briskly walked into the living room.In the living room, Sherry was about to fetch a glass for Lorelei to take her medicine. She had barely picked up the glass when she saw a figure suddenly entering from the door.Natalie snatched the glass from Sherry's hand, poured a full glass of hot water into it, and walked out without looking back. Her smooth sequence of actions left Sherry momentarily bewildered.It took Sherry

Upon hearing that, Joshua slowly raised his head. There were indiscernible emotions in his deep gaze.Seeing Joshua's expression, Natalie thought he hadn't understood her words. She repeated herself in a softer tone, "Did you not hear what I just said, Josh? I said—"Before she could finish her sentence, Joshua raised his arm to interrupt her. His eyes still held emotions she couldn't decipher.Natalie was stunned and was forced to hold back the rest of her words. "Josh, I…"Natalie looked over and noticed Joshua's face showed no hint of surprise whatsoever. His brows were even more tightly furrowed than before.This wasn't the expression one would expect to see upon encountering a beacon of hope.Natalie's previous sense of satisfaction instantly diminished by half. She couldn't understand at all what Joshua was thinking at that moment.Even though she was simply giving Joshua a suggestion to do him a favor, she didn't actually want Philip to recover.Furthermore, she was only

"Why aren't you saying anything?" Joshua raised his voice. There was a sense of oppression.Natalie was startled, and she grasped Joshua's sleeve tightly. "Josh, it's not that I didn't want to tell you earlier. It's just that…"Natalie's mind raced as she desperately tried to come up with some words to justify herself. However, she still couldn't find a plausible explanation after thinking for a long time.Given Joshua's meticulous nature, if she casually fabricated a few excuses, he would surely see through them immediately. If it ended up making Joshua even more infuriated, everything she had done before would be for naught.Joshua raised his eyebrows and fixed his gaze on Natalie. His expression betrayed no emotion as he silently awaited her explanation.Under such intense scrutiny, Natalie found herself unable to speak. She stuttered, "J-Josh, I…"Joshua's patience had reached its limit. He cast a final glance at Natalie before briskly walking back into the house.Natalie wa

Under the moonlight, Joshua and Natalie stood beneath the gazebo.Natalie cautiously held Joshua's arm, while the latter wore a tense expression. There seemed to be some emotional turmoil between the two, making it difficult for others to grasp their thoughts.After a moment's hesitation, Joshua finally broke the silence. "It's getting late. You should head back to the apartment."He seemed worried that his words might be too harsh and frighten Natalie, so he added, "Be good. Go back and get some good rest."Natalie quietly stole a glance at Joshua. His expression was no longer filled with anger, and the coldness surrounding him had also diminished significantly, indicating that he believed her words.She breathed a sigh of relief. She presumed Joshua had bought her explanation, which spared her from further trouble."As for my grandpa's situation, I'll think of another way. If nothing else works…" Joshua paused for a moment and continued, "Then we'll have to resort to your metho
