Apart from this, she couldn't find any reason why her phone didn't ring.
She hurried to call Joshua. The phone was answered quickly, and she asked nervously, "... Honey, I didn't hear your call just now. Why do you call ?"
Joshua was silent for a while before speaking quietly, "We'll talk about it when we et."
She felt a jolt in her brain. What did Joshua say? Talk about it when they t?
Did she hear that right?
She was about to say sothing, but his phone had been directly hung up.
She was even more confused. Why did Joshua hang up before she told him where she was?
Suddenly, she had a bad feeling! Could it be...
"You'd better leave, Mr. Sloane," she said, hurried.
"What happened, Hazel? Is sothing wrong?" Grandpa Sloane asked in astonishnt. Hazel looked so flustered that he couldn't leave her alone.
"I can't make it clear for a mont," she hurried to say. "Joshua may be on his way..."
Before she could finish the sentence, the door of the ward was flung open, and Joshua ca in with a chill all over.
"Why, why are you here?" She was helpless and panic-stricken.
She should have known that. Joshua was so nervous about her safety. Since he made that call, he must have looked into her whereabouts.
If she knew this would happen, she should have brought Crystal with her today. But because she wanted to be alone with Grandpa Sloane, she had deliberately sent Crystal away.
Now, what should she do?
Joshua was still misunderstanding the Sloane family. He would not be kind to Grandpa Sloane. If the two of them fell out and their relationship got worse, wouldn't she beco the culprit?
Joshua gave Grandpa Sloane a look. In a mont, he understood what had happened. The next mont, his eyes fell straight on Hazel.
He strode over and asked thoughtfully, "Did you get hurt?"
"No, no, I'm fine!" she replied quickly.
The next mont, he furrowed his brows, curled his finger, and flicked it on her forehead.
"Ouch!" She cried out in pain and looked at him, wounded.
"Why didn't you call when you were hit by a car?" His eyes appeared helpless and worried. "Do you know how worried dad was when you suddenly disappeared from the exhibition? I couldn't get through to you on the phone. When I got the monitor, I saw you get hit by a car. You're trying to scare to death, aren't you?"
In an instant, she felt very guilty. She wanted to keep Grandpa Sloane so much and get in touch with him, but she forgot how worried her parents and Joshua would be.
Moreover, there was Simon around. Presumably, Joshua thought that Simon had taken her away or that she was in so danger when she couldn't answer the phone. How worried would Joshua have been at that ti?
"I'm sorry," she whispered, catching his fingers gently. "I won't worry you like this again."
He sighed helplessly, apparently disbelieving this sentence very much.
"You can't be so unreasonable, Sir!" Leo, the driver of Grandpa Sloane, had been guarded outside the ward. When Joshua stord in, he, of course, followed with concern. Hearing Joshua's words, he felt very dissatisfied.
He, who had been extrely dissatisfied with Hazel, said directly, "It was this lady who has rushed out from the roadside. It was clear I didn't hit her, but she lay down herself. I think she's clearly up to no good, wanting to fake an injury on purpose. How short of money she is…."
"Leo, shut up!" Grandpa Sloane's face darkened. Although Leo was helpless, he didn't dare to say much anymore.
Joshua's eyes beca cold all at once.
Of course, he could guess that Hazel did it on purpose, but even if she did, he could not bear to hear anyone speak ill of her.
"Does Mr. Sloane an my Joshua Denmark's wife, the real owner of Denmark Group, risked her life for a little bit of money?!" he asked in a deep tone which was with an undisguised chill. "Mr. Sloane, I need an explanation!"
Montarily, Hazel was worried. That was what she feared. She wanted to ease the relationship between Joshua and the Sloane family instead of aggravating the misunderstanding. Now Joshua even ignored the driver and directly aid at Grandpa Sloane!
Joshua cared a lot about people he cared about, but if others really annoyed him, he would be rciless! She didn't want to see Joshua fall out with the Sloane family.
"No, it isn't..." she hurried to say.
But before she could finish the sentence, Joshua even covered her mouth directly. "Be good, you almost had an accident. Don't say too much, or you'll get tired easily."
She glared at him helplessly. How could talking make her tired? Obviously, he didn't want her to talk at all!
She struggled to free herself from his hand, but she was directly hugged by him instead, and her arms were also tightly wound by him!
She felt hopeless sohow. It was clear Joshua was trying to make trouble. Grandpa Sloane had deliberately distanced himself from him. Now their relationship was bound to get worse!
She looked anxiously at Grandpa Sloane. She didn't know what was on Grandpa Sloane's mind as he nodded. "You're right. It was I who almost hit Miss Crowe this ti, and I should make it up to both of you."
She was confused. She had thought they would fight, but Grandpa Sloane actually compromised?
Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind, and she understood.
Grandpa Sloane wanted to thank her, so he did so. He even gave up the chance to fall out with Joshua and directly accepted Joshua's aggressive question.
All of a sudden, she felt warm. She really didn't want to see such a kind old man wounded. What was worse, he was questioned by his own grandson, who he cared about.
But Joshua was still clapping his hand over her mouth, and she couldn't speak in the least. Suddenly, an idea ca to her mind.
Joshua was also a little surprised, but he only paused for a mont before saying coldly, "Grandpa Sloane, I think you should also know that Denmark Group is not necessarily worse than the Sloane family. Hazel and I won't necessarily pay attention to your so-called compensation. If we did accept it, it would confirm Hazel was faking an injury to deceive you. If you really feel guilty, I just hope you won't..."
Before he could finish the sentence, he felt a warm, soft touch on his fingertips.
