Ellison And Joycelyn: A Love Beyond The Rules Novel

Chapter 287 Chapter 287 Get lost ! I dont know you , Leah coldly rebuked , her face a mask of fury .

The harsh words caught Joycelyn off guard .

For a moment , she was stunned .

Leah had always been gentle and composed , never showing such intense anger before .

Moreover , they were still in the hospital .

Joycelyn and Sandra were both visibly worried about what was happening .

The ambulance had arrived and parked steadily , its medical team quickly unloading Ellison , who was drenched in blood .

They rushed him toward the operating room for immediate treatment .

Even though Joycelyn had mentally prepared herself , the sight of Ellison covered in blood still made her heart ache .

Ellison ! she cried , following closely behind , her voice breaking as she called out to him .

Dont scare me , Ellison ! Ellisons eyes were shut tight .

His once handsome , chiseled face was now streaked with blood , his oxygen mask barely holding on as he lay unconscious , teetering on the edge of death .

A lump formed in Joycelyns throat , and her eyes blurred with tears .

She could hardly believe it .

413 Just a few hours ago , he had been the charming and reserved Ellison he had kissed her goodbye and promised to return soon with a surprise .

Now , he didnt even respond to her .

She could only look at him , her heart breaking , but she dared not touch him .

Behind her , William , Kingston , and several bodyguards were all covered in blood , their injuries apparent on their faces and bodies .

Joycelyn couldnt afford to waste any time .

She followed the medical team , her body running on anxious adrenaline , but her exhaustion suddenly overwhelmed her without having any food for so long time , and she stumbled forward .

Fortunately , Sandra was quick to catch her .

Im fine , Joycelyn whispered , trying to steady herself , though her body felt weak .

She continued to follow the medical team into the resuscitation room .

Leah , seeing her brothers severe injuries , gasped in shock , covering her mouth in disbelief .

Kingston ! she cried out in distress .

Meanwhile , the rural couple that had been trailing them earlier persisted , pestering Leah .

Are you sure youre not our daughter Maria ? the woman asked , her voice tentative .

Get lost ! Leah snapped , pushing them aside with unrestrained anger .

She is the one who needs to find her own family .

Go find her and get out of my way ! The whole floor outside the operating room seemed suffused with a tense , oppressive atmosphere .

Red emergency lights flashed , and blood bags and surgical instruments were swiftly wheeled in .

The uncertainty of life and death weighed heavily on everyone waiting outside .

Joycelyn collapsed into a chair , tears flowing freely .

1/3 07:58 Thu , 13 Mar = Chapter 287 She glanced at Haddy and Leon , who were both stained with blood , and shakily asked , How did the accident happen ? 94 % +13 According to the footage , the large van deliberately crashed into three cars , one of which was the vehicle Ellison and one of the bodyguards were in .

The van pushed them off the cliff beyond the guardrail .

The driver of the van was killed instantly , along with one of the bodyguards .

Ellison and the other two managed to jump out of the car before it went over , Haddy explained with a heavy sigh , his face grim .

Just listening to the narrative was enough to let everyone know how horrible the accident was .

It was an intentional attack ? Joycelyn wiped her tears and struggled to compose herself .

That still needs to be confirmed once the police finish their investigation , Haddy replied .

The group fell silent , each silently praying for the best .

Time passed , and a few bodyguards with less severe injuries had already emerged from the operating room .

This slightly eased the tension , but the fear remained .

Soon , the rural couple approached again , looking around furtively .

Maria ? The woman tentatively called out to Sandra , then glanced at Joycelyn .

Are you Maria ? Go to the nurses station if youre looking for someone , Sandra directed curtly , clearly dismissing them .

This is the resuscitation room .

Joycelyn assumed the couple had come to the hospital in search of someone , possibly a loved one they had just lost .

Hospitals were places where families often had to face the shock of life and death .

No , were here to find our long lost daughter , the woman said , not quite sure of herself as she looked at Joycelyn and Sandra .

Joycelyn froze .

She wiped away her tears and exchanged a glance with Sandra .

Wait here , Leon said , suddenly pulling out an iPad .

Is this what Ellison discovered ? I found this iPad earlier and didnt pay attention to it .

The screen was cracked , and there was no password .

Leon unlocked it , revealing the profile of the Lester family .

Wait whats this ? Sandra frowned , clearly shocked .

She had participated in the search for Joycelyns family , so she knew a little about it .

At that time , the exact information had not been sent .

She only knew it was the Lester family , but she did not know that they would be such a family ! Yes , yes , Im Hanmer Lester ! The thin , dark skinned man pointed at himself , his grin showing yellow teeth as he rev that he was always smoking .

Which one of you is my daughter Maria ? Joycelyn stared at the couple .

She wasnt one to judge people based on their appearance , but these two felt like strangers to her .

They lacked any genuine familial warmth , and she felt no sense of kinship .

How did you find us ? Joycelyn asked , her voice calm but skeptical .

The village head sent us to the hospital , and then he left .

We thought wed check the hospitals records and , well , it looks like weve found you after all these years , Hanmer explained , holding her hand as if he were a long lost father reunited with his daughter , tears of relief welling up in his eyes .

Joycelyn pulled her hand away .

This isnt the time for this .

You guys can find a place and settle down first .

Well talk later .

07:59 Thu , 13 Mar Chapter 287 Ellison was still in critical condition , and she was now in no mood to find her family .

94 % But Hanmer and his wife werent backing down .

They clearly had their eyes on Joycelyn , who was not only beautiful but rumored to be wealthy .

They were eager to claim their lost daughter and gain whatever benefits they could .

My poor child , Hanmer said dramatically , sitting beside her and trying to act like a good father .

Weve been looking for you all these years .

Now that weve finally found you , we need to reunite properly .

Yes , his wife Kailey Lester chimed in , squatting in front of Joycelyn .

You dont know how much weve missed you .

Well never be apart again .

Please , dont shut us out .

Joycelyn originally wanted to let the couple settle down first and then talk to them in a few days .

Joycelyn felt even worse at the thought that Ellison had an accident because he went to pick them up .

Let me see .

Joycelyn took the iPad from Leon and checked the files .

Youve had six daughters and sent three of them away , all in hopes of having a son .

Now youre telling me youve been missing me all these years ? Despite the pain , Joycelyn wasnt foolish .

These people looked simple , but they actually gave her a particularly shrewd feeling .

It was better not to acknowledge such parents who favored boys over girls .

When Hanmer and Kailey heard this , they couldnt even maintain their fake smiles .

We did that so you could live a better life .

In fact , we cant bear to part with you , Hanmer said .

Thats right , Kailey said .

Hearing what they said , Joycelyn only felt a headache and frustration .

Were in the hospital now .

You can do a paternity test first , Sandra suggested coldly , her face impassive .

+13 Just then , the red lights in the operating room switched off one by one , and Leah emerged , pushing Kingstons hospital bed .

Her eyes immediately locked on Joycelyn .

My brother personally analyzed the blood samples .

Do you really think he could be wrong ? He suffered just to bring you back to your parents , and now you wont even recognize them .

Can you really bear the harm theyve endured ? Leah said , her voice bitter with indignation .

She seemed to be righteous , but in reality , she wanted this strange couple to completely latch onto Joycelyn so she could sever all ties with them .

Weve been discussing this with your brother , but how did you know ? Joycelyn raised her tear streaked face , her eyes now calm and skeptical as she gazed at Leah .
