Chapter 446: Don’t Be Stiff, Honey
Hazel knocked on the door and walked in with Joshua.
Joshua looked a little dazed as he caught sight of the woman sitting at the window.
Why did he somehow feel that this woman was very kind?
“What... happened to her?” he asked in a low voice as if he was afraid to disturb her.
“I don’t know.” Hazel shook her head with a wry smile. “I think she should have been greatly stimulated, so she becomes like this and escapes from reality.”
His brow furrowed slightly.
“Aunt Stacy?” Hazel walked over to Stacy and whispered.
Just as she had been the last time when she saw her, Stacy was in her wheelchair, she looked as calm as a doll, as if she didn’t hear her at all.
Hazel was not discouraged and smiled. “Yesterday, I saw a blue dress that fit you very well, so I bought it for you. I’ll show it to you later, okay? By the way, I don’t come alone today. My husband comes with me. Would you like to see him?”
Stacy still looked out the window with an expressionless face, but Hazel didn’t care. She walked over to Joshua and took his hand.
“Come to talk to Aunt Stacy.” Hazel smiled with a smile as she tried to take him to Stacy.
“I think she needs therapy, not a talker,” he said faintly.
A smile curved her lips. “Honey,” she said sweetly, “just think of it as a good deed.”
His heart felt a little hot. The last thing he could resist was Hazel’s flirtation with him. As long as she was willing to act like a spoiled girl, he would agree to any conditions she proposed.
And now, she just wanted him to talk to a woman. How could he refuse?
Joshua walked up to Stacy and calmly spoke, “Hello, ma’am.”
Hazel’s lips twitched. Alright, she didn’t expect Joshua to call Stacy auntie or anything like that.
She sat Joshua on the sofa opposite Stacy. She was looking at his furrowed brow. Hazel smiled. “Don’t be stiff, Honey. You’re so handsome that Aunt Stacy will perhaps be healed as soon as she sees you.”
“Oh? You’re not jealous?” He smiled a little.
“If you save people, that’s a good thing. Why would I be jealous?” Hazel stuck her tongue out. “If you have such a feat, maybe we’ll get a thank-you note saying you’re a great doctor!”
The two of them joked, but they didn’t notice that Stacy’s gaze on Joshua was starting to focus. And her look became more and more painful.
“You...” Joshua chuckled, raised his finger, and gently touched Hazel’s nose.
Suddenly, Stacy jumped out of her wheelchair and lunged at him.
Alarmed, Joshua grabbed Stacy’s arm!
But Stacy cried, as if she were mad, struggling desperately as hard as she could, “Devil! You devil! Baby! Give back my baby….”
Hazel was so shocked that she was bewildered. She had never thought that this would happen!
Even if she had thought maybe Joshua’s presence would provide Stacy with the stimulus, it wasn’t this kind of stimulus that she had wanted to see!
“Joshua, don’t hurt her, I’ll call the doctor!” Hazel quickly calmed down.
Then she ran out of the ward and looked for the doctor.
When the doctors came in, it seemed that this was the first time they had seen Stacy in such a situation, but they were no strangers to dealing with it.
After a while of chaos, they soon got Stacy under control and gave her a sedative to calm her down.
Joshua stood at her bedside, quietly looking at her on the bed.
Hazel was finally relieved. She reached for Joshua’s hand and said apologetically, “Sorry, I didn’t expect this would happen….”
Suddenly, she froze and lifted his hand. “Are, are you hurt? Aunt Stacy hurt you just now?”
“It doesn’t matter.” He looked indifferent and tried to withdraw his hand.
“Let’s dress the wound first,” she said firmly.
Soon, she fetched a first aid kit from a nurse and carefully dressed his wound.
“Does it hurt?” she asked with a heartache.
“It’s better than when you scratched me yesterday.” A vague smile curved his lips.
Her hands paused as she felt panic-stricken in the heart!
Was Joshua hinting at something? Did he know that?
Impossible! When she did that, she was in the right place at the right time. He shouldn’t have thought she was doing anything else.
“You blame me for my heavy blow?” Hazel said like a spoiled girl, trying to hold back her upset. She wouldn’t admit it anyway.
Joshua’s eyes darkened a bit, and he whispered, “Honey, no matter what happens, I won’t blame you.”
With that, he gave a gentle kiss on her forehead.
Her heart beat a little faster. She didn’t know if she had thought too much, but she always thought Joshua was hinting at something.
Anyway, she would deny it until the result came out.
Looking at his bandaged hand, Joshua said faintly, “We can’t help here. We might as well go home first.”
“Let’s wait.” She frowned. “The doctors said they had notified Aunt Stacy’s family. I’m the one who caused this, and I owe them an apology.”
He slightly cocked his eyebrows. “You are kind enough to come to visit her. Besides, it was I who provoked the patient, not you. Why should you apologize?”
“But if I hadn’t brought you here, it wouldn’t have happened!” She was a little helpless.
“If someone needs to apologize,” he said as quietly he stared at her, “Honey, it should be me. Do you think, as your husband, I would watch you take the fall?”
She was both moved and speechless. Joshua was overly protective of her and even concealed her mistakes. He didn’t want her to be wounded even though the incident obviously had something to do with her.
Her heart was sweet, but before she could say anything, she heard fast footsteps outside.
“Aunt Stacy’s family should be here. Let’s go out,” she said.
“Fine.” His eyes were a little deeper. He walked her out just in time to see a group of people walking toward Stacy’s ward hastily.
When they came to the ward, Joshua and Hazel saw a doctor explaining to those people, “... This is the case. The patient has been strongly stimulated, and it is not certain whether it is good or bad at present.”
