Chapter 288 “Yeah, all of this has been done in secret. Dr. Mason is fully involved, and a doctor as strict as him wouldn’t tell you; Sandra echoed Joycelyn’s words, questioning Leah. Leah felt a momentary nervous inside, but thankfully, Kingston was unconscious and still breathing. She wasn’t the least bit afraid of confrontation. “Don’t forget, I’m a doctor too, and I’ll be involved,” she replied firmly. Joycelyn glanced at Kingston, lying unconscious with an oxygen mask. There was no way to ask for proof on the matter at this point. Besides, Ellison had already been wheeled out, and Joycelyn hurriedly stood up and walked toward him. “Doctor, how is Ellison?” she asked, her voice trembling. “Mr. Grant has multiple injuries–broken ribs, a fractured left leg, and significant blood loss from a head wound. He is no longer in immediate danger, but it’s hard to say when he will wake up,” the doctor answered gravely. Every word felt like a knife to Joycelyn’s heart.

We’ll stay here and keep my daughter company,” Hanmer said, not moving, trying to arouse Joycelyn’s gratitude. “Yes, our son–in–law is injured. We need to be here for our daughter. We’re her strongest support,” Kailey added, waving her hand at Haddy. Leon, clearly annoyed, stopped Hanmer and Kailey, allowing the doctor to push Ellison into the hospital room. Joycely followed closely behind, with Sandra by her side. William and the other bodyguards were also safe and sound. It was unclear how Haddy managed to get Hanmer and Kailey out of the way and settled in. Without their distracting presence, Joycelyn was finally able to stay by Ellison’s side. She inquired about the doctor, fetched a basin of warm water, and began wiping the blood from Ellison’s body. She lifted the thin quilt. Ellison’s tunic and pants had been cut open by the doctor. His firm waist and stomach were covered in small cuts, which Joycelyn gently wiped away, tears falling as she did. Ellen was a cleanliness freak, and…
