Chapter 564: Shall I Get Someone To Save You?

Hazel almost threw the phone out!

Even Madeline was able to reach Hazel on her phone, so it wasn’t surprising that Ted knew Hazel’s number.

Having said that, Hazel had never expected Ted to call her. Hazel could still feel that Ted disliked her. No, “dislike” sounded too polite. “Detest” was more proper.

Otherwise, Ted wouldn’t have spirited Joshua away and made Joshua and her separated for so long. Now Joshua returned to Country Z, Ted actually dispatched a woman like Madeline to stay by Joshua’s side.

Because of all that Ted had done, Hazel didn’t like him, either.

Taking a deep breath, Hazel was neither humble nor arrogant, “Hello, this is Hazel Crowe.”

Before she could hear Ted’s reply, Joshua grabbed the phone.

She raised her head in surprise. Joshua, who had just taken a cold shower, had a little chill on him, but it was his face that appeared even more chilly.

“It’s me.” Joshua took the phone and went straight to the balcony. He asked in a deep tone, “What do you want?”

Ted’s mood became worse when he heard Joshua’s voice. “Joshua, what’s wrong with you?”

“Since you call, you should know that,” Joshua said, his mouth tilting upwards slightly at the corners, “Mr. King, I have been kidnapped.”

Ted almost spat out a mouthful of thick blood. Obviously, it was Joshua who had left with Hazel of his own accord, but he actually had the nerve to say he was kidnapped?!

“In that case, shall I get someone to save you?” Ted sneered. He had intended only to distance himself from her and alienate her from his two sons. However, Hazel kept pestering them. He would no longer be polite!

Joshua’s eyes were slightly cold. He didn’t spend much time with Ted, but he knew what Ted meant.

“Whatever plan you have, I advise you to give it up. If you do something to Hazel, you’re going to lose your son,” he said after a pause. “Two sons.”

Ted froze, and then his heart was filled with anger.

Joshua was clearly threatening him. If he hurt Hazel, both of his sons would disown him! For this woman, they were really hard-working!

“Then what does she want?” Ted asked.

“Don’t bother with that, Mr. King,” Joshua said flatly. “I’ll give her what she wants.”

Ted was mad at him. How well Joshua protected Hazel!

“Joshua, don’t forget why I sent you to Country Z!” Ted said angrily.

“Mr. King, rest assured. I remember that very well,” Joshua said in a voice of indifference and alienation. “I’ve conveyed your meaning to your son, but whether he is willing to go home or not is his business.”

Ted was extremely furious. He was trying to yell at Joshua, but somehow, he was a little wary in the heart.

Joshua was only not close to Ted before, but Joshua was now deliberately estranged from him.

“Joshua,” Ted said in a deep tone, “did that woman tell you something?”

There was a flash of coldness in Joshua’s eyes. “Before Mr. King says this, you’d better think about what you’ve done!”

Wasn’t Ted the reason he and Hazel had been apart so long? Besides, after returning to Country Z, Ted still made trouble for them, which Ted did make Joshua unable to see Ted as his father.

With that, Joshua hung up.

When he returned to his room, he saw Hazel sitting on the bed waiting for him.

“That’s for me.” She was helpless.

“No, it’s for me,” he corrected her.

“If he meant to reach you, why did he call me?” She was speechless.

“Because you kidnapped me. Have you ever seen a kidnapped man holding a phone?” Joshua chuckled.

When he went with Hazel yesterday, he didn’t take his phone because he didn’t want Ted to bother him. It just didn’t occur to him that Ted would call Hazel.

Hazel was about to be beaten by his words and spoke helplessly, “Is it really okay if I don’t answer his phone?”

“Of course.” Joshua took Hazel’s baggy clothes out of the closet. “How is it possible that both of you would have a good talk?”

“Joshua…” Hazel hesitated. She really didn’t like Ted. Even if she didn’t answer the phone, she could guess what Ted was going to say. Ted was likely intended to separate her from Joshua.

But if Ted was willing to save Joshua and Stacy, it meant that Ted had feelings for them. But before she could say anything, Joshua directly kissed her on the lips.

“Hazel, don’t think about it.” Joshua whispered, “I’ll handle it.”

“Good.” After thinking for a while, Hazel finally nodded.

Ted hated her. Whatever she did, in his eyes, she was driving a wedge between him and his sons. In that case, she might as well do nothing and leave it all to Joshua.

Joshua raised his eyebrows slightly. “Let’s go to Denmark Group later.”

Hazel looked at him in surprise. “Why?”

“Of course, I have to deal with what I’ve done,” he whispered, helping Hazel get dressed. He knew nothing before he made trouble for Denmark Group, but he did do that. Besides, he didn’t think Ted would really give up.

Hazel nodded in agreement. Samuel could handle it now, but since Joshua wanted to handle it himself, she wouldn’t stand in the way.

“I have an appointment with Simon at noon,” Joshua said peacefully. “Thanks to him, we need to thank him for yesterday.”

Her heart sank slightly.

Her institute had been right. Joshua would not just want to thank Simon during their meeting.

Hazel suddenly had a feeling that everything would go back to square one.

Before he disappeared, Joshua teamed up with Simon against Ted. Now Joshua made an appointment with Simon for the same reason.

Ted was a lot weaker than he was last time, but he had Stacy in his hands. There was no telling what the end would be if they fought again.

Hazel felt a little tired in the heart somehow. She really didn’t want Joshua to have an accident again. She never wanted to go through such a hopeless wait again.

“Do you have to do that?” she asked blankly, grabbing his hand.
