Joshua's eyes twinkled slightly. "I don't think Hazel was found this ti because that man discovered my existence."
Grandpa Sloane knew that the man in his mouth was Ted King. For both of them, this was a person they didn't want to ntion. But Joshua's words made him even more confused.
Joshua gave Grandpa Sloane a quiet look. Grandpa Sloane was able to tell him the past truthfully. In return, he wouldn't hide the incident from Grandpa Sloane.
He briefly told him about the incident.
Grandpa Sloane's face paled a little. "I heard that after leaving Country Z, the man married a woman in the organization and had a child to consolidate his power in the organization…."
All of a sudden, Grandpa Sloane noticed that he shouldn't have ntioned this. ntioning this in front of Joshua must make him very unhappy.
But when he stole a glance at Joshua, Grandpa Sloane found Joshua's face still very unruffled.
"I don't care about his matters," Joshua said lightly.
This was what he thought in his heart. Before eting Hazel, he didn't care who his parents were, nor did he expect anything from his own parents.
With Hazel's insistence, he ca into contact with the Sloane family. Now he knew that there was such a past and that his father was such a cold-blooded and heartless man, Joshua would certainly not want to know anything about him and his family.
Since he had never had hope, then he also had no disappointnt. The man who gave him life was just a stranger to him.
Grandpa Sloane's face suddenly turned pale. "That is to say, he didn't know you before, but this ti… he knows your existence?'
The organization had been working overseas, and Joshua was so low-key in Country Z that even Grandpa Sloane didn't see him before, so Grandpa Sloane tried to reduce contact with Joshua at that ti because he was afraid that the organization would target Joshua.
"Yes." Joshua nodded. "It should be Simon's plan."
How could he not figure out now what Simon was doing?
From the very beginning, Simon had guessed his identity after eting him. Simon ca to Country Z not to get close to Hazel but to get close to him.
Simon pestered Hazel in a bid to make the organization aware of Hazel. With such a woman around Simon, Ted would certainly do sothing. But Simon's ultimate goal was to get Ted to notice Joshua or more than that.
"But Simon's purpose is not only to make Ted King know my existence but also to make turn against Ted King. He even wanted to intimidate with Hazel's security!'
Joshua didn't know what Simon was worried about, but Joshua's presence did not pose any threat to Simon. Even without Hazel getting involved, Joshua and Ted King couldn't be close. Furthermore, Hazel was the most important to him. Nobody could hurt her!
Grandpa Sloane's eyebrows ford a knot. Maybe this was what the saying "Worrying about things that might never happen increases their chances of happening" ant.
He and Joshua lived so close, but they had never seen each other for so many years. However, shortly after they t, Joshua was discovered by the organization.
"Then Hazel's safety..." Grandpa Sloane asked anxiously.
"The incident has been solved." Joshua preferred these people to target him instead of Hazel. That was why he made an agreent with Simon.
"But the organization will never let you go in the future," Grandpa Sloane said with much concern. "What are you going to do?"
Joshua pursed his thin lips slightly. "I know what I should do."
Grandpa Sloane's eyes dimd. Joshua ca to him just because he needed to know what happened that year instead of reconciling with the Sloane family. It was because he had been so reckless that Joshua didn't want to be close to him.
Joshua probably guessed what Grandpa Sloane was thinking. He frowned slightly and finally said, "The might of the organization should not be underestimated. The Sloane family has bad blood with the organization, to begin with. It would be best if you did not get involved with it anymore. What you've told is very helpful. It can make less passive. I'm confident about dealing with the organization."
Grandpa Sloane's face relaxed, and his heart felt warm sohow. Sure enough, Joshua was more like Stacy in personality. Although he looked cold on the surface, in fact, his heart was very soft.
He had tried to simplify the past, but Joshua was already able to speculate that the Sloane family and the organization had conflicts from his account. They had been dormant all these years and had been protecting Stacy for fear that the organization should retaliate on her if it found out that she was still alive.
And because of that, Joshua didn't want the Sloane family to get involved.
My grandson doesn't really want to be disconnected from us. It's just that he cares about us. Joshua was so sensible that Grandpa Sloane even felt that it would go too far if he reunited with him.
"When I was young, I did a lot of wrong things and hurt my closest people's hearts," Grandpa Sloane said with a trace of regret in his eyes. "But I understand now, Joshua. Whether you recognize as your grandpa or not, I definitely recognize you as my grandson. If there's anything the Sloane family can do to help, feel free to tell us. Plus, here… you are."
Grandpa Sloane ca to the desk, picked up a book, opened it, and then handed a card in the book to Joshua.
Joshua took the card, and his eyes softened a little.
Grandpa Sloane helped Stacy transfer directly for safety after he and Hazel went to the nursing ho last ti. The card said exactly the address of Stacy's new nursing ho.
"Last ti Katherine told that Stacy seed to like Hazel very much... Ask Hazel to visit her as much as possible when she's free," Grandpa Sloane said awkwardly.
The last ti Hazel went to visit Stacy, Stacy didn't respond at all. There was no indication that she liked Hazel. However, Joshua knew clearly that Grandpa Sloane gave him this in the hope that he could go to visit Stacy.
Holding the card, Joshua finally took it as he nodded and said, "Mm."
Later, instead of staying in the Sloane family, he returned directly to the Denmark family.
Hardly had he returned to Denmark Residence when he heard a burst of laughter from the living room. It was Hazel's laughter that sounded like a bell. It sounded great!
Such a voice suddenly made Joshua's heart, which had been sowhat dull, very relaxed and warm.
Wasn't this exactly what he strived hard outside for?
Hazel looked back and saw him.
She ca flying like a bird and asked happily, "Are you back?"
"Yes." Joshua's voice was soft. He gently rubbed her hair.
