Chapter 314

Shelly was the first to see Joyce and she hurriedly nudged Jacqueline,

"Mom, isn't that Joyce? Why did she come to the hospital?"

Jacqueline had been having neck pain lately, which then gave her a lot

of headache, and she had trouble sleeping at night.

She was scheduled to come to St. Maria Hospital today for her regular

physical therapy appointment.

Following the direction of Shelly's finger, Jacqueline saw Joyce

standing in the middle of the hallway, glowering.

“It's bad luck, she's everywhere. She was kidnapped and survived. She

just won't die, right?" Shelly pouted and complained. She naturally

wanted Joyce dead. No matter who it was that killed Joyce, as long as

she was killed, the shares of R&S Group that Joyce inherited could be

returned to them.

Jacqueline naturally hoped that something would happen to Joyce, and

after learning that Joyce had been kidnapped, she was not worried at

all and was even somewhat expecting it.

But to her surprise, Joyce actually came back alive.

Although she had already learned from the police department that

Joyce was still alive. But seeing Joyce alive in front of her with her own

eyes, it was still hard for her to hide her disappointment and

resentment.

Jacqueline quickened her paces and pulled Shelly with her to the front

of Joyce.

"What are you doing in the hospital?" Jacqueline gathered her coiffure

and looked around, glaring suspiciously at Joyce.

The third floor was for obstetrics and gynecology, orthopedics, and

physical therapy only. What could Joyce have done when she came

here?

Joyce heard a familiar voice ringing in her ears.

She came back to her senses instantly. Hell, what was she doing?

She hurriedly stuffed the ultrasound report into her carry-on satchel, not

wanting Jacqueline and Shelly to know about her pregnancy.

"Gastroenteritis, just come here for some medicine." Joyce casually

lied. Fortunately the gastroenterology department was also on the third

floor, and at the very inside, otherwise she really couldn't think of an

excuse for a while - why she appeared in the corridor near the

obstetrics and gynecology department.

Although, the fact that she was more than three months pregnant, she

had not been able to digest it herself.

But whatever, she must not let the two in front of her know. Otherwise,

there would just be more and more problems.

"Gastroenteritis?" Shelly looked at Joyce with contempt, “I heard you

were kidnapped? Is that true? I see that you are in good shape? It

doesn't look like you've been tortured at all. It's not as if you've been

leading your own show, is it?"

“I'm back alive, and I'm sorry to disappoint you. A show? You have a

great imagination. Should I give you a part in it too?"

Joyce returned a blank stare to Shelly.

She just knew they would never say any nice words.

"You!" Shelly gasped.

"How can you say something like that? Don't you think you need to

respect me? Not even a greeting when you see me?" Jacqueline

accused with dissatisfaction.

Theoretically she had never been able to take advantage of Joyce but

by virtue of her status as an elder.

"Oh, I'm sorry, elders are meant to respect and love their juniors, not to

pick a fight. I thought we were strangers, so there was no need for us to

say hello." Joyce smiled coldly, "If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

"You!" Joyce didn't even leave Jacqueline with a chance to speak.

"How dare you talk to my mother like that." Shelly shouted, and she

raised her hand to slap Joyce in the face.
