Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

Chapter 935 - 223: Who Is Their Son?

"Why?" Hazel asked in surprise.

"Aunt Jennie deliberately told me not to tell Joshua." Sharon sighed, "In fact, she hid any little illness or pain from us over the years. She did not want us to worry about her, especially Joshua, because he is running such a big company. I only found that out recently, but I would like to go see her."

"But..." Hazel was a little hesitant. "How can I not tell him about such a big thing?"

"You just listen to Aunt Jennie. She is an honest person. If Joshua goes to see her, she will definitely be angry with you." Sharon said with a weak voice, "And this time, things are related, Joshua. He will only blame himself."

"Although, I understand." Hazel frowned, "We should not deal with it this way. So, let me see Aunt Jennie first. If the situation is serious, I will notify Joshua, and if not, I won't tell him."

"Okay..." Seeing that Hazel could not be persuaded, Sharon had to agree.

Hazel rushed to the hospital. Jennie was not surprised to see her, Hazel figured that Sharon must have told her she was on her way. Jennie said indifferently, "I am just old, and I will inevitably be careless once in a while. Now you come here, thinking that I am handicapped?"

"Aunt Jennie, we care about you." Sharon said with a grin, "Hazel, forget about what she said. Aunt Jennie didn't mean that, really."

"I know." Hazel nodded and didn't mind. Although Jennie was not overly friendly towards her, the situation could have been worse. She asked worriedly, "Aunt Jennie, how is your injury? What did the doctor say?"

"Not serious, just skin trauma. I'll be fine in a few days." Jennie stood up. "Okay, now, take me home."

Hazel and Sharon didn't dare to say anything more. They helped her to the car and took her to the orphanage. Hazel was relieved to know that Jennie's injury was not serious.

After arriving at the orphanage, Jennie told both Hazel and Sharon that she was fine and to leave. They drove back together in Hazel's car, she was thankful that it gave them the opportunity to talk privately.

"Hazel, please don't mind." Sharon said, "That's typical Aunt Jennie. She did not want to waste too much of our time, nothing else."

"I understand." Hazel said with some concern, "Is Aunt Jennie too busy at the orphanage? Should we hire someone to help her?"

"You don't have to worry. The orphanage has enough staff. Aunt Jennie's injury does not affect anything." Sharon explained.

"That's good." Hazel was relieved and said, "By the way, how did Aunt Jennie get injured? I never dared to ask her just..."

"I don't know the exact details." Sharon frowned, "But I heard the nurses at the orphanage say that a family has been visiting Aunt Jennie recently."

Sharon continued. "The family had a lot of children, and they could not afford them all, so they were trying to sell one of their sons. Aunt Jennie found out, she bought the child and brought him to the orphanage.

Hazel was stunned. Why did this story seem so familiar? Yes, the last time she and Joshua went to the orphanage, there were people quarreling in Jennie's office. She had the content of the quarrel, it was eerily similar to the story Sharon just told her.

"Why are they still looking for Aunt Jennie?" Hazel asked.

"I heard that they regretted it, and now they come to take back their son. They have come many times. Last time, things got out of control, and they injured Aunt Jennie." Sharon continued, "I heard the nurses say that their son is a young man, and today he should be about twenty-six years old."

"No way?" Hazel was stunned.

"Why not?" Sharon snorted, "This family is shameless. They don't want to find their son. I think they just want to reap the rewards of whatever their son has now. "

Hazel agreed with a sigh. That family waited for so many years to "take back" their son, they must have an ulterior motive.

"Who is their son?" Hazel asked curiously.

"I don't know." Sharon shook her head.

Hazel looked at her as if she was expecting her to say more. Sharon hastily explained, "I really don't know. Although we all grew up together, we are all orphans after all. We didn't get together to compare who had a more miserable life. Everyone has their own pain, digested by themselves, or only shared with close friends."

"I'm sorry..." Hazel apologized.

"Don't apologize." Sharon smiled, "We are all adults now, and the past is in the past. By the way, did you just mention that you want to ask me for something?"

Hazel nodded and started talking to her about her work. Sharon was only a few years older than Hazel, so she quickly understood her thoughts, and they came up with plenty of ideas.

After taking Sharon back to the office, Hazel returned to Denmark Residence. Joshua had been waiting for her in the living room.

"Back?" He asked.

"... Hmm." Hazel looked away, feeling guilty for not telling him about Jennie.

"Wash your hands and eat," Joshua said.

Hazel washed her hands and walked to the dining room, still wondering if she should tell Joshua about Jennie.

"Joshua, why don't you ask me where I went?" Hazel asked curiously. She came back so late, and Joshua didn't even ask.

"Hazel, you are an adult. You have your own space, and I trust you." Joshua smiled lightly.

Hazel's heart was touched. She felt she shouldn't hide anything from him.

"Let's go spend some time with Aunt Jennie," Hazel said.

"Did Aunt Jennie encounter something?" Joshua frowned.

Hazel nodded and told him about Jennie being at the hospital and the family that was visiting her.

Joshua frowned, "We will go to the orphanage tomorrow."

"Yeah." Hazel nodded and promised. She couldn't help but ask, "Joshua, the people who hurt Aunt Jennie were the family who made trouble when we went to the orphanage last time."

Joshua was stunned, his look a little unpredictable.

"Do you know who their son is?" Hazel sighed, "I think their son is really unlucky. Maybe he doesn't want to reunite with them, so he has been hiding from them?"

"That's not necessarily true." Joshua said faintly, "Maybe he just can't see them or reunite with them."

"Hey?" Hazel looked at him blankly, and he was staring into space. Joshua's words confused her. She curiously asked, "Joshua, do you know something?"
