Ellison And Joycelyn: A Love Beyond The Rules Novel

Chapter 63 ( +23 ) When Joycelyn arrived , she already knew a bit about the situation .

The entire 19th floor was occupied by Isolde alone , with the most prestigious medical team at her service .

Joycelyn , dressed in casual clothes and being a woman , knew Ruby , with her obsessive personality , would probably be hostile towards her .

Before Joycelyn could speak , Ruby sharply demanded , Have I seen you somewhere before ? Take off your mask .

Despite wearing a mask , Joycelyns clothing and appearance didnt seem like someone who would be here at such a high- end private hospital .

But Ruby was keen on scrutinizing her face , particularly Joycelyns fair skin and naturally refined features .

When Joycelyn didnt respond , Ruby gave her bodyguard a look .

The bodyguard immediately stepped toward Joycelyn .

Joycelyns heart pounded nervously .

Oh , I pressed the wrong button ! Im here for a flu shot , not for a doctor on this floor .

If I take off my mask , I could spread germs , you know , Joycelyn said in a tentative voice , pretending to be shy .

Ruby immediately backed away .

If youre sick , why dont you stay away from people ? Ruby frowned , disgusted .

Joycelyn responded innocently , Well , this is a hospital .

Who comes to a hospital without being sick , right ? After saying that , Joycelyn pushed the button for the 9th floor .

Ruby avoided her , her sharp eyes still coldly locked on Joycelyn .

The elevator arrived at its floor , and Joycelyn quickly stepped out .

Thank goodness she hadnt shown her face to Ruby , or things wouldve been a disaster .

She walked away from the elevator , made sure no one was following her , and then took another elevator down .

Ruby had arrived , so she couldnt go up to see Isolde right now .

On the 19th floor , Ruby exited the elevator and quickly approached Isoldes room .

Her earlier cold demeanor melted away into a warm smile .

She knocked softly on the door .

Luna , is that my dear granddaughter in law ? Isoldes cheerful voice rang out from inside .

Rubys smile grew even more radiant when she heard the words granddaughter in law .

Isolde , its me .

Ive come to visit you , Ruby said as she stepped into the room .

Isoldes face , which had been filled with warmth , immediately lost some of its gentleness upon seeing Ruby .

Ms.

Wilson , what brings you here ? Isolde asked , her voice now more guarded .

Chapter 63 Rubys sharp intuition immediately sense that something was off .

She thought , It seems Foldes granddaughter in law 14 someone else : Tolde , when you mentioned your granddaughter in law , did you mean … Roby asked , her sweet smile faltering as she urgently tried to pry for more information .

Ms.

Wilson , youre intruding now .

I dont think you came here with genuine intentions .

A place like this isnt fit for you .

Fil let you go now , Isolde replied , her tone kind but carrying an air of authority .

Isoldes words were a subtle dismissal , tinged with a sense of wisdom and distance that made Ruby feel the sting of rejection .

Isolde , has Ellison gotten married ? To whom , and when ? Ruby asked , unable to let go of her obsession .

Isoldes smile faded completely , and her glasses wearing eyes narrowed .

Her presence became imposing .

Ms.

Wilson , you and Ellison are from different worlds .

Its time for you to let go of your obsession .

Thats the best choice for you , Isolde said firmly Rubys eyes filled with tears as she spoke , her voice faltering .

Ive been in love with Ellison since the moment I met him .

Ive loved no one else for all these years .

And now hes married someone else how can I bear this ? Its so cruel .

Isoldes expression remained neutral as she watched Ruby cry , clearly unmoved .

Look , the brain clinic is on the 9th floor .

Go there and get checked .

Dont cry in front of me ; I hate it when people cry .

Isolde said sternly , making it clear that Rubys theatrics werent welcome .

Luna , standing nearby , quickly gestured for Ruby and her bodyguards to leave .

This hospital was part of the Grant familys assets , and Ellison protected Isolde fiercely .

Outside , there were countless bodyguards .

Ruby was swiftly escorted into the elevator , her dignity in tatters .

Still crying , Ruby glanced at the button for the 9th floor and muttered to herself , The 9th floor is for neurology ? That woman said she was there for the flu shot .

Shes lying .

Ruby pressed the button for the 9th floor , determined to investigate further .

Although Joycelyn had dressed simply , Ruby wasnt going to miss any clue , no matter how small .

However , after a fruitless search , Ruby realized she couldnt dig up any information .

This was Ellisons territory , and she was powerless to intervene .

Fuming , Ruby angrily tugged at her hair , her face flushed with frustration as she dialed Carmelos number .

The call was answered immediately .

Carmelo , it seems like Ellisons married .

Help me find out who his wife is .

You have to get this information for me , Ruby ordered .

After leaving the elevator , Joycelyn sat by the artificial lake .

In her earlier nervousness , she had forgotten to buy a fruit basket or flowers .

Now , she had gone to the flower shop , picked out a fresh bouquet of carnations , bought a fruit basket , and even grabbed some snacks .

When Ellison found her , she was feeding a stray cat .

2/3 12:25 Thu , 13 Fed Chapter 63 อ € Seeing her crouched down , petting the chubby orange kitten , Ellison stopped in his tracks .

Under the streetlight , his cold , handsome face was expressionless , his gaze sharp .

Joycelyn , Ellison called , his voice tight , as if holding back anger .

The cat and Joycelyn both flinched .

Joycelyn turned slowly , looking like a child who had been caught doing something wrong .

I … I was just playing with it for a bit .

Ill go wash my hands now , Joycelyn said , her expression embarrassed .

Ellison had a strong aversion to germs , so a stray cat , covered in who knows what , would definitely be more than he could tolerate .

This is a public space , not a playground .

Why dont you go up ? Ellison asked coldly , his eyes still locked on the cat as if it were a disease .

Oh , I just ran into Ms.

Wilson in the elevator .

She seems to be upstairs .

Im going to wait here for a bit , Joycelyn explained , standing up and brushing her hands off .

Are you scared of her , or are you jealous ? Ellison asked .

Joycelyn bit her lip , a hesitant expression flickering across her fair face .

I just want to avoid any unnecessary trouble , she said , her voice calm .

After speaking , Joycelyn blinked , then asked curiously , Why would I be jealous ? Her expression was calm and genuine , with no hint of jealousy at all .

Ellison studied her eyes intently , trying to catch any sign of insincerity , but found none .

Go up now .

She was kicked out by Grandma , Ellison said , his voice still tense , before turning and walking away .

Joycelyn stood there , confused .

When she said she wasnt jealous , he seemed disappointed .
