Chapter 379



In the face of everyone’s criticism, Joel’s attitude remained indifferent.

These people were originally the backbone of the Smith Corporation and were Ian’s most capable subordinates. They had all seen Ian’s depressed state because of Yvette.

Everyone hated Yvette to the core.

So when he found out that Nora was his cousin, Joel had to ask Ian’s permission so he could go find her.

Joel said slowly, “Guys, it was Uncle Ian who made the decision to bring Nora home. He even personally attended the Hunts’ banquet. I’m sure you all know that, don’t you, planning to disobey Uncle Ian’s orders?”

His words silenced those people.

Joel knew they were only there to defend Yvonne. These people were actually very reasonable people. He said sincerely, “Think about it. If Uncle Ian were still awake, would he have allowed Yvonne to do something like this?”

Would he have?

Of course he wouldn’t.

Ian was a lovely person. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have let so many follow him around all his life.

When those people stopped talking, Great Uncle said, “Hmph, you’re full of righteousness and morals. In the end, isn’t it all because you’re not Ian’s biological son? I think it was you who instigated him to recognize her so that he would be angry to death. You completely control the Smiths, don’t you? But don’t go overboard! Joel, your uncle isn’t dead yet!”

Joel couldn’t be bothered with him, but looked at the senior members of the troupe and said, “Indeed, I am not Uncle Ian’s biological son. But don’t forget that, at the very least, I am still his nephew. But this woman…is not related to Uncle Ian by blood at all. I’m sure you all know who is closest to Uncle Ian.”

With a few words, Joel turned the conflict around.

They looked at each other and fell silent.

Yes, when they heard that Miss Yvonne had been bullied, they thought how good Ian was and defended her. However, Joel’s words were true!

The hallway was suddenly silent.

At that moment, another set of footsteps were heard. Everyone turned their heads and saw Nora, the one everyone was talking about, walking with hurried steps. She didn’t care at all about the people watching her and headed straight for Joel. He looked at the operating room and his look was a bit complicated. “…How is he now?”

Treating Ian was the most important thing, how could Joel have time to argue with these people?

He pushed Nora directly away and frowned. “This… I need you to take a look and see if Uncle Ian can still be saved!”

Nora nodded. “Give me the medical records and all his CT scans!”

She sounded very confident as she spoke. “My assistant, Lily, is already on her way. Anything that has to do with him…. Send them to me!”

Joel had originally called Nora to treat her illness.

However, he hadn’t expected Nora’s attitude to be so strong. Did she want to immediately take over Uncle Ian’s treatment?

He frowned and was about to speak when Yvonne’s sharp voice was heard. “Joel, are you planning to let Nora treat Dad? That’s not possible!”

Her words caused Joel to frown sharply. “Why not?”

Of course, it was because if Ian woke up, he definitely wouldn’t leave the matter alone!

Yvonne knew Ian’s character like the back of her hand – she knew all too well what would happen to him if they treated him!

By the time they got to the hospital, they had already discovered that Ian might not wake up this time. At this point, of course, they couldn’t let the miracle doctor, Anti, get involved!

Thinking about this, Yvonne stepped forward and accused, “Because he’s from the Andersons. Joel, are you going to go against Dad’s wishes?”

Joel: “?”

He frowned. “What nonsense are you talking here!”

Yvonne immediately said, “Joel, don’t think I don’t know! The medicine I’ve been taking lately isn’t any good medicine from Myers Peace Pharmacy! It’s just a replacement for the Rest Pill! But you don’t dare tell the truth because you know Dad has never taken Harmonia Pharmacy medicine!”

She said firmly, “All these years, Dad has hated the Andersons to the core. Joel, you know that, don’t you? Even if he died, he wouldn’t take the Andersons’ medicine. Now, do you let Nora treat him? Even if he were saved, he’d be so mad at you!”

Joel narrowed his eyes.

The Smiths knew Ian wouldn’t take the medicine from Harmonia Pharmacy.

Everyone said he didn’t take them because he hated Yvette.

However, Joel thought Uncle Ian was afraid that experiencing the familiar taste would cause him sadness.

As for the final stage, Uncle Ian had always been reluctant to take the Harmonia Pharmacy’s Rest Pill. It wasn’t because he had a problem with it, but because he really didn’t want to live anymore.

If Uncle Ian hadn’t met a small-time streamer on the Internet, he wouldn’t have gone back on the Myers’ medicine.

He hadn’t expected Yvonne to interpret his actions like that…..

He narrowed his eyes. “Nora’s not from the Andersons. Her last name is Smith.”

Yvonne said forcefully, “Her last name is not important. What is important is that her mother is Yvette Anderson.”

Yvonne sighed, “Joel, Dad is already very weak. Do you really have to humiliate him like that?”

Humiliate?

Joel clenched his jaw. “I’m just saving Uncle Ian’s life! I think Nora has the same thoughts.”

After saying this, he told Nora forcefully, “Go look at the medical records first.”

Nora raised her eyebrows. She was in a hurry to save him and didn’t care about the rest. However, just as she was about to enter the room, Yvonne rushed in and blocked the door. “You can’t come in!”

She looked at Joel angrily. “The person Dad hates the most is Yvette. How can Nora show up in Dad’s living room? Is she trying to make Dad leave faster? I disagree.”

With that, she turned to look at Uncle Grandpa.

Uncle Grandpa immediately coughed. “It seems that in the last stage of the patient’s life, if we agree not to resuscitate him, the signature on the agreement must be signed by his immediate family. Joel, the decision to let me save your Uncle is in Yvonne’s hands. After all, she is Ian’s legal daughter.”

Yvonne nodded. “Joel, if you insist on humiliating Dad, don’t blame me for being rude. I’m going to call the police.”

Joel frowned and was about to force this group of people out of the hospital when he heard Nora’s light words. “Who said they are his immediate family?”

As soon as she said this, everyone looked at her, not understanding what she meant for a moment.
