Chapter 613

It was almost evening when Justin arrived at St. Maria Hospital.

Joyce reclined on the bench next to the bed, looking out at the sky

gradually dyed red by the sunset, and the afterglow was spilled all over

the ground, as if everything was coated with a dreamy layer of gold.

She was now by the window. Her black hair hanged like a curtain of

satin, and she seemed to be immersed in the haze. What a beautiful

scene.

Justin slowly approached. He did not say a word so that he would not

break this beautiful and tranquil scene. He stood there for a while, until

the haze faded and the dull darkness enveloped the surrounding.

Joyce realized that there was someone around her.

She turned around and froze when she saw it was Justin.

"Justin, how long have you been here? Just standing all this time?" She

asked, reaching over and turning on the light.

"Joyce, I'm sorry I'm late." Justin placed the bouquet he had brought

next to the bench she was sitting on.

Sitting down beside her, he was full of apologies, "I can't believe, after

such a big incident, I didn't know about this until now. Someone told me

privately that Shelly had been detained. I then went to look into the

whole thing, otherwise I wouldn't have known what happened.”

"Oh, what happened last night, has been kept a secret. It's just alright if

you don't know.” Joyce smiled a little.

"But you didn't tell me either. Joyce, are you okay?" Justin suddenly

held her hand and couldn't help but tremble at the thought of the

danger she had experienced.

“It was dangerous last night, but it's all right now. You see, I'm just fine."

Joyce drew out her hand and shook it, showing that she was healthy.

“It's all my fault. Shelly saw the blue diamond ring, and she was

somehow stimulated to do such a crazy thing. And, it was after you left

the restaurant last night that she sent someone to follow you and try to

harm you, right?" Justin frowned.

"She should have been stalking me since noon. Justin, you don't have

to blame yourself. It really has nothing to do with you. Shelly and I have

long had a problem, and it's only a matter of time before something like

this happens.” Joyce tried to comfort him, "I'm fine. I'll stay in the

hospital for a few more days just for extra caution, and I'll be

discharged next Friday.”

"But your hand, it's all bruised up here." Justin heartily brushed the

back of her hand, where the needle had just been removed.

"Everyone has used IV once or twice, right? Don't make a fuss.”

Joyce jerked her hand back again.

Justin sensed that she was keeping her distance and his bright eyes

instantly dimmed and a flash of loss crossed his eyes.

"I was abrupt yesterday and brought you such danger. I am sorry, I will

restrain myself in the future. I will just patiently wait for you to slowly

accept me again.” Justin looked at her seriously and said word by

word.

Joyce couldn't avoid his hot eyes and was a little embarrassed.

Appropriately, the nurse walked in at this time.

"Joyce, we are now done with the IV today, and there are three pills to

take before bedtime." The nurse placed a small packet of pills on

Joyce's bedside table.

When she saw Justin, the nurse couldn't help but sneak a glance at

him. Wow, so handsome, so elegant, so gentle and courteous. Oh! His

face looked just perfect and extraordinary.

Justin smiled and nodded in greeting.

The nurse blushed and hurriedly walked out of Joyce's VIP room.

Before she left, she turned back and sneaked another glance at Justin.

Joyce shrugged helplessly. When Luther had come in the morning, it

had caused a stir at the front desk. Now that Justin was here again,

they were sure to be whispering and talking about it again.
