Chapter 1067 Daydream
Amanda stood in the corridor and sighed as she looked at Joshua walking away.
All she wanted was to take Jessica on a trip and did not expect so many things to happen. She started
to ponder that this was a horrible place. Anything related to this place was so a disaster for her. NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.
Inside the patient’s room.
The doctor examined Joan’s wounds and said, “Avoid spicy food and stay warm. Sleep on your sides
and do not lay flat. Avoid putting pressure on your wound.”
Joan replied, “Understood.”
“Here are some ointments. Apply onto the wound once in the morning and evening.” The doctor said.
Amanda walked in and placed the take-out onto the table and asked the doctor, “How long will it take
for the wounds to recover.”
“Not too long. So long as he doesn’t rest on the wounds, he should be able to walk around In a couple
of days. The scab will start to form in about ten days to a fortnight.” The doctor added.
Amanda nodded, “Thanks, doctor.”
“That’s my duty.” The doctor replied.
“Keep the wound dry.” The doctor reminded.
“Yes, doctor.” Amanda acknowledged.
The doctor left the room to examine the other patients. After seeing the doctor out, Amanda walked
back to the bedside table and opened the takeout boxes, and asked, “You must be hungry.”
“I’m… okay.” Joan was a little apprehensive.
He had expressed his feelings towards Amanda and she had accepted him. However, he seemed to
feel unsettled when they were in the same room.
Amanda sat beside him with a bowl of porridge. She scooped a spoonful of porridge and served it
towards his lips and said, “This is pumpkin porridge with some meatballs. Give it a try and see if it suits
your taste.”
Joan looked at her and muttered, “I…”
“Yes?” She looked at him.
“Cat’s got your tongue?” She asked.
Joan took a mouthful of the porridge and replied, “It’s tasty.”
After a few spoonfuls, he asked, “If you regret…”
“I don’t.” Amanda interrupted him before he could finish his sentence.
“I meant what I said unless you now regret.” She said firmly.
“Why would I regret it?” Joan anxiously sat upright as if to emphasize his sincerity but his actions were
too abrupt and he winced in pain. Amanda noticed his pain although his change in expression was very
slight.
"Stop moving around, you’re injured,” Amanda said sternly.
Joan pursed his lips and smiled tenderly.
“Why are you smiling?” She served him another spoonful of porridge with a meatball on it.
Joan looked at her and asked, “Did I?”
“Do you want me to take a photo and show it to you?” She said coyly, “Eat your porridge.”
She then composed herself and said, “I’ll inform my parents when I go home after you’ve recovered.”
Joan was stunned for a moment before holding her hand.
Three days later.
Joshua found out the details of what had happened.
“This Stanford is truly a pain in the ass!” He exclaimed in frustration.
“Was he behind this incident?” Joan asked. Although he was not familiar with Stanford and had only
spoken to him several times, he felt that Stanford would not do something like this.
“According to my investigations, what happened was devised by Hilary and Atwood. Their motive was
to kidnap my sister and put her in danger for Stanford to rescue. Then he would be able to seek my
sister’s forgiveness. However, it was unclear why Stanford did not appear in the end.” Joshua said.
Joan was now perplexed. If this involved Stanford, then why did he back out at the critical moment?
“Was your investigation thorough?” Joan asked.
“Atwood is Stanford’s personal assistant. Do you think he dared to do anything without Stanford’s
approval?”
Joshua scoffed, “What a fool to think that he could gain her forgiveness by doing this!” Joshua had
nothing but disgust for Stanford.
“He capitalized on my sister’s feelings for him in the past and now he used these unscrupulous means
again. What a deviant person!”
Joan looked towards Amanda but she was calm and her expression did not betray her feelings. She
noticed that someone was looking at her and looked up. Her eyes locked with Joan and she tenderly
smiled at him. She was no longer affected by any mention of Stanford.
Joan knew about her past and she did not want to explain those anymore.
Joan was an adult and since he could accept her past, there was no use in her mentioning it. The past
was the past.
Joshua continued to speak without any regard for Joan and Amanda, “I had also checked up on
Hilary’s background. Apart from some wealth, her family does not have any other influence. We need
not go easy on such people. I want her to regret what she had done.” Joshua already had in mind what
he wanted to do to her.
“As for Atwood, Stanford should be the mastermind instead of him. However, I could not locate him.
Perhaps he had disappeared due to the failure of this task.” Joshua deduced.
