Without waiting for the doctor to finish, I dashed off to find him. Every moment mattered for my mother.
I found Joshua in Melisa’s ward, carefully tending to her wound.
“What’s all this drama about?” Joshua asked bluntly. “If you’re into Cody, just say it. Audrey can’t steal him from you. Did you really jump from the second-floor balcony just to mess with us?”
Joshua had been groomed in elite circles. How could he not see through Melisa’s manipulations? He knew everything but chose to ignore me.
In the past, I might have confronted him loudly, but now all I wanted was for my mom to get the help she needed.
Melisa sneered, “Are you crying over that old hag?”
I clenched my fists, biting back my anger because I needed Joshua’s help desperately.
Through gritted teeth, I pleaded, “Joshua… please save my mom. You’re the only one who can perform this surgery.”
My voice cracked with emotion and all I could do was keep begging him.
I was on the verge of kneeling down when someone grabbed my arm.
