Caught In His Embrace A Second Chance Romance
Chapter 147 On the third night, after dinner with the suppliers, Josiah stepped out of the banquet hall feeling dizzy. His vision was swimming w and he felt unsteady on his feet.
âMr. Flynn!â Zach quickly stepped in to assist him. âWe canât delay anymore. Thereâs no rush, so letâs get to the hospital, okay?â
âOkayâ Josiah replied, not arguing. The supplier situation was taken care of, and he felt prepared to face his family.
With Zachâs help, Josiah got into the car, barely holding it together. His head was spinning, and his throat was on fire ââ
Once at the hospital, Zach told him. âMr. Flynn, just wait here while I get you checked in.â
âNo problem. Josiah responded. Fliraty wasnât like Jelacrity. Seeing a doctor as a foreigner there could be a hassle.
waiting for Josiah sat in the lobbyâs waiting area, for Zach. Thankfully, heâd always been healthy, so after a few minutes, he started to feel a bit better To the left of the lobby was a playroom with clear glass walks, allowing him a view inside from his sea Since it was nighttime, only a few kids were in the playroom. Josah noticed a child sitting alone, with short hair brushing her ears and big eyes that were incredibly cute. His attention was naturally drawn to her.
Unaware she was being watched, Joyce approached the whiteboard, reaching for a marker and about to twist off the cap âHey! Thatâs mine! A blonde, blueâeyed girl sprinted over and snatched it away.
Jayceâs eyes widened as she took a step back. âBut I saw it first, she murmured.
âOh, yeah?â The girl smirked, turning to Joyce. âItâs in my hand now. You want to draw?â
Joyce nodded hopefully. Yeah. Can I have it back!â
âThis one?â The girl glanced at two nearby boys, then chucked the marker to them. âCatch it!â
âGot itâ they cheered, starting to toss it around.
They laughed as they passed the marker back and forth.
âDonât drop it!â a boy shouted.
The kids were in a fit of laughter, treating the marker like a toy.
Jayce puffed out her cheeks, her big eyes blinking back tears as she protested, âWhat youâre doing is wrong.â But the three kids completely ignored her.
Wow! Kathy, look, sheâs crying one kid exclaimed.
âReallyâ Oh my gosh, she actually is, the girl named Kathy replied.
âGirls from another country are y are just so delicate!â they snickered.
Mocking laughter reached Joyceâs ears in waves.
Joyer, being from Jetacrity, was facing some serious discrimination in Fliraty. As she was all alone without an adult around.
She stood there, her big eyes glistening with unshed tears.
âHey!â Suddenly, the playroom door swing open as someone snapped.
Joyce turned her head and saw a tall, handsome man walk in.
Josiah strode right over to the little boy holding the marker and held out his hand. âPlease give it to me,â he said with a slight smile. âOr we can go to the nurseâs station now Itâs late, and youâre supposed to be in bed, right?
All the kids, dressed in hospital gowns, got nervous at yous at the thought of finding ourse H The boy hollered. âCatchâ as he hurled the marker skyward Josiah plucked it out of the air without breaking a sweat.
ÎÎ Download Chapter 147 âLetâs go!â The mo of kids exchanged glances, then bolted for the door.
Josiah faced Joyer, marker in hand.
âHere. Noticing her small stature, he stopped midâsentence and then crouched down. âHere you go, little one Joyces eyes fluttered as she accepted the marker. She expressed her gratitude in the language used in Fliraty But then, string up Josiah, she switched to another language: âThank you, sir?
Josiahâs brow furrowed in confusion. âYouâre not a native here?â
âMmâhmmmâ Joyce nodded. âTm not from Fraty. Iâm from Jeiacrityâ
Josiah was surprised. He could tell she wasnât a local, but he didnât think she was from his hometown.
The fact that she switched languages upon seeing his appearance showed that she was a clever little girl.
Small world. Iâm from Jelarity too.â he said.
âWowââ Joyceâs eyes lit up. âMy momâs there too. Have you seen her âNope.â Josiah chuckled, realizing kids often didnât make sense. He thought to himself. H How would I know her mom? Iâve never met her.
For some reason, he felt a weird connection with this little one and wanted to comfort her. He pointed to the marker she was holding. âWhat were you gonna do with that?
âI wanted to write a note to tell my mom I muss her she said.
âGo ahead thenâ Josiah said, pointing to the whiteboard.
âOkay.â Joyce clutched the marker and leaned in close to the board, but she just stood there, stuck.
Josiah was confused. âWhy arenât you arenât you writing?â
âSir.â Joyceâs bottom lip trembled, about to cry. âI donât know how to write yet... Before she could finish, she looked up at him and started to cry âHey, hey, heyâJosiah was caught off guard and for a second, he was at a loss. But he quickly scooped up Joyce and started to comfort her. âDonât cry. Lule one. Iâm here for you, okay?â
âOkay,â Joyer sniffled, nodding her head Josiah took Joyceâs chubby hand, his eyes catching the adorable dimples on her hand. He led her over to the whiteboard and asked, âWhat do you want to write, kiddo!â
âMommy. Joyce masses you.â she said softly.
âAlrightâJosiah rarefully guided her hand in writing the words.
Before writing her name, he looked down at her rand asked, âHow do you spell Joycer âHuh?â Joyce blinked, looking puzzled. âTe just Joyce.â
Josiah realized his mistake. âShoot, I shouldnât have confused a cute like her, he thought to himself, then helped her write the name âJoyceâ just Joyceâs eyes twinkled with excitement as the pointed at the whiteboard, where words they had written together were displayed. âIs this âMommy?â
she asked eagerly âYep,â Jouch smiled, giving a nod âAnd this one....uys Joyceâ, right?â the continued.
âRight on. Youâre a sharp one? Josiah tousled her hair playfully Jover grinned from ear to ear. âMom showed me this I remember it?â
