An Joycelyn English Novel Chapter 266
Chapter 266 Joycelyn was feeling a bit down, but when she saw Ellison’s scheming smirk, she couldn’t help but burst into laughter. “Luckily, I have you with me,” she said, her voice choking up as she spoke. There was a soft, childlike tone in her voice, making her seem pitiful and fragile. “That’s also because you cooperated well. Otherwise, how could we have settled everything so quickly?” Ellison put away his phone and reached out to pinch her slightly chubby cheeks. He added, “I’ve already made an appointment with Kingston. We’ll go now to get your blood type registered and screened to see if we can find your biological parents.” “There’s no rush!” Joycelyn quickly grabbed his arm with both hands and shook her head, refusing. Having just escaped from an exploitative family, she hadn’t fully processed everything yet. Or perhaps, the sudden revelation that she had been a foundling left her feeling lost. She wasn’t ready to face her true origins just yet. Ellison lowered his head and cupped her face gently in his broad palms. He asked in a soft voice, “What’s wrong?” “Nothing… I just want to go out for a nice meal today. I also want to go on a date. Is that okay?” Joycelyn wanted to shift her emotions, so she took his hand down and wrapped her arms around it. “Alright, we’ll go now.” Just then, the bodyguard drove the car up. Ellison held Joycelyn’s hand and helped her into the car. As their car drove off, Bellina and Tanya finally arrived. “They left. Should we still follow them?” Tanya asked, looking to Bellina for a decision. Bellina was checking her phone. She glanced at the car disappearing into the distance before looking down again at a message on her screen. She said, “Not for now. I heard that your poor sister–in–law’s mother is hospitalized here. Let’s go check it out.” “How do you know that?” Tanya was curious. Bellina explained, “Look, there’s a trending news notification on my phone. Joycelyn has quite a bit of attention online. The headline is calling her mother ‘The most beautiful school belle’s mother.” “Wow, Bellina, you’re so smart! But this kind of ordinary hospital is full of bacteria. Can we not go inside?” Tanya wrinkled her nose, clearly disliking the idea of stepping into a public hospital. “Let’s see how badly her mom got beaten up. Best if we can record it and show it to everyone in the Grant family.” Bellina had a naturally competitive nature and carried an unfounded sense of superiority. Tanya said, “Alright. But we don’t even know which ward her mother is in.” “Just ask around, and we’ll find out.” Bellina parked the car by the hospital entrance and strutted into the lobby. After asking around for a bit, they managed to locate Iris’s ward. With arrogant expressions, the two of them walked up to the door, pulled out their phones, and prepared to start recording. Inside the ward, Lyra’s shrill, smug voice filled the air. Phineas and his brothers were drinking beer and cracking snacks, as if they had turned the hospital room into a roadside food stall….
