Chapter 478

Felix understood everything just by looking at Joshua’s expression. He patted his shoulder and said,

“Your morn is very worried about you. She sensed that you were unhappy from the moment you came

bark”

After all, a mother would know her child hest.

No matter how well you disguised it, parents could see through all your pretenses.

“I’m fine,” Joshua said..

Felix asked, “Doesn’t it hurt?

“The pain 1 teel is nothing compared to the grievances Cynthia endured in the pest.” Joshua looked

into the distance. The city was enveloped in darkness, and even though the city lights were bright, only

the sun could truly illuminate the sky

Similarly, only Cynthia could dispel the dariness in his heart.

Having heard his response, Felix did not say anything more. As their children get older, there were

certain things they had to handle on their own, and they had to bear the consequences themselves.

That night, the city was aglow with countless lights, but Joshua lying in bed felt cold.

He forced himself to sleep, but sleep eluded him

This state persisted for three whole days. On the third day, Joshua fell ill because he had not slept for

three consecutive nights. If Yoel had not noticed in time, it could have led to serious complications from

the high fever.

Yoel rushed around the hospital, busy with payments, getting medication, and more.

After a day of receiving IV drips, Joshua finally woke up in the twilight,

Yoel breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Joshua open his eyes.

He was extremely worried and said, “Mr. Neal, you’re finally awake. You scared me.

Joshua looked at the white ceiling and then glanced around. When he saw the IV drip still in place, he

frowned “What happened?”

“You had a high fever of 40 degrees, which lasted for over four hours! The doctor said if the fever had

lasted a bit longer, it could have caused or gan and nervous system damage Yoel was still frightened.

He had been sweating profusely.

Joshua seemed indifferent and only asked, “You didn’t tell my parents, did you?”

“No.” Yoel knew what Joshua was thinking. “You really can’t mistreat your body like this in the future. If

something really happened, I wouldn’t know how to explain it to your family.”

Joshua breathed a sigh of relief. The day after his birthday, he sent his parents to the airport and

watched them leave. If they knew he was hospitalized, they would undoubtedly worry.

“Oh, by the way,” Yoel suddenly spoke up.

Joshua’s lips and face were still somewhat pale, and the fever had not completely subsided. “What is

it?”

Yoel hesitated.

“Just say it.” Joshua felt uncomfortable all over, disliking the feeling of being sick.

“Ms. Yates called you this afternoon. I heard the phone ringing when I went to pick up the medication.”

Ynel worned that Joshua might be emotional because of this.

Joshua’s eyes seemed to brighten. In a low and hoa rse voice, he ordered, “Give me the phone.”

“You need to rest now.”

Chapter 478

“Give it to me.”

Seeing his stubbornness, Yoel could not argue with him and reluctantly handed him the phone.

Joshua unlocked the phone and dialed Cynthia’s number. To prevent her from suspecting anything, he

deliberately adjusted

his tone

After a few rings, Cynthia answered the call.

“What did you call me for this afternoon? I was in a meeting and didn’t hear it,” Joshua asked, and his

tone did not show much difference from usual

“Jayleen told me that they’ve started to take action. If nothing goes wrong, they’ll come to kidnap me

tonight, Cynthia told

hum

Joshua immediately sat up from the bed, causing the IV needle to backlow.
