Ellison And Joycelyn: A Love Beyond The Rules Novel

Chapter 110 Chapter 110 Joycelyn went up to the inpatient department .

Her mother was moved from a shared ward to a private ward .

Wearing a mask , Joycelyn pretended to pass by the doorway of the ward to take a glance inside .

She saw her mother leaning against the headboard , drinking water .

Zoe , my water is a little cold .

Add some hot water for me .

Joycelyn slowed down when she heard a cautious voice .

She stopped at the doorway and listened carefully .

So what if its a bit cold ? Just drink it .

Whats with all the fuss every day ? The voice of the middle aged female caregiver named Zoe Jackson was filled with impatience .

Iris had no choice but to lower the glass she was holding , not saying another word .

Joycelyn could sense that at this moment , her mother must be looking meek and submissive .

If Joycelyn hadnt seen that flash of sharpness in Iriss eyes before , she would have thought Iris was a doormat who always endured whatever came her way .

They say that when middle aged and elderly people are hospitalized alone , theyll be neglected and mistreated , she thought .

Unexpectedly , this kind of thing happens to my mom ! In the ward , Iris didnt say anything else .

Instead , it was that caregiver called Zoe who kept blabbering , speaking very impatiently .

Joycelyn stood by the door and listened with her arms crossed , waiting for the caregiver in the ward to come out .

Iris , if your sister in law asks me to take care of both her sons next time , well terminate the contract , Zoe said .

They say moneys hard to earn , Your family is really awful .

How vicious do you think people have to be to get the just deserts of their sons turning impotent ? What an eye opener .

Its really unlucky .

Joycelyn frowned as she heard the caregivers curses .

Her opinion of Zoe wasnt as negative anymore .

Whats more , she even found this bold middle aged woman somewhat She thought , The two brothers from the Mercer family kidnapped me , and their outcome was so disastrous .

It makes sense that if they cant find me , theyd cause a scene at the ward .

Zoe is probably not someone to mess with either In the ward , Iris didnt dare to speak up .

She just let the caregiver scold and lecture her .

When the caregiver was done packing and came out , she saw Joycelyn standing by the door , wearing a mask .

She only took a second look and then carried the used bedsheets toward the laundry room .

It was only after she had walked a bit farther that Joycelyn called out to her .

1/4 Chapter 110 Zoe , please wait , Joycelyn called out to the plump caregiver .

Who are you ? Zoe said .

Tm a family member of the patient from ward 909 Oh , youre her ungrateful elder daughter ? Zoe sized up Joycelyn .

Thats not importani .

Im here to ask you to take good care of her .

This is a small token of my appreciation .

A portion of the money is for buying something she likes to eat and her favorite flavors .

You can buy some for her when youre free .

The rest is for you to keep and spend .

Joycelyn handed her the envelope containing cash that she had received .

Zoe took it with both hands , opened it , and saw that it was all green banknotes .

Shru She then said , Well … This is extra money , Joycelyn said .

Dont tell her about it .

Just take good care of her .

She did not say much After receiving the money , Zoe was momentarily at a loss for words .

A long while later , she seemed to understand something and nodded .

Alright , Ill spend this money on her .

I wont be greedy Joycelyn was about to leave .

She looked at her and nodded with a smile as she said , I trust you .

Youre already here , Zoe said .

Not going in to see her , huh ? Nope .

Dont tell her I was here .

With that said , Joycelyn turned around to leave .

But then she noticed that Iris was standing at the doorway of the ward in her hospital gown .

It seemed like she had recognized Joycelyn .

Joycelyn Iris called out with uncertainty .

Seeing the thick envelope in Zoes hand , Iris immediately walked forward .

Is that money for me ? she said .

It happens that your aunts family has some trouble .

Her two sons need money .

You can just give it to me directly .

When Iris saw the money , she walked much more nimbly .

She walked up to Zoe and immediately reached out to snatch it away , showing no trace of weakness .

Thats the caregivers salary .

Joycelyn said , her tone somewhat irritated as she stopped her .

If you snatch the money away , youll have to take care of yourself .

still Alright , our family is short of money , Iris said .

We need to save whenever we can .

Your sister went out to make money for this family and ended up in trouble .

And you ? You are nowhere to be seen for a long time .

Are you daughter ? my biological Iriss seemingly gentle words were filled with resentment .

She watched as Iris snatched the envelope and counted the money in her hands , appearing somewhat dissatisfied .

Iris rambled on , saying .

Youve only saved this much money ? My surgery fees were paid for by Octavia , and she even 2/4 Chapter 110 switched my ward to such a good ward .

I raised you , but I cant rely on you for anything Joycelyn stood still , taking a deep breath to adjust her suppressed emotions .

Instead , she got more fired up , helped Iris back into the ward , and then snatched the envelope from her Why are you taking my money ? Iris said .

This money was given to me by your daughter to improve your meals , Zoe said .

Dont even think about taking it and letting someone else spend it .

I have a share in this money too .

Iris had just finished her surgery , so she was no match for the chubby Zoe in terms of energy She was so full of herself earlier , but in an instant , she was subdued by Zoes angry expression and didnt dare to say anything more .

At least give me some then , she said .

Dont even think about it , Zoe said .

This is your daughters hard earned money , and she uses it to take care of you , yet you act against the person who cares for you , calling her an ingrate .
