Chapter 313 Chapter 313 39% Back at the hospital, Ellison underwent a full-body examination, while Joycelyn received a prenatal injection and soon fell into a peaceful sleep.
Lying on his side on the hospital bed, Ellison gazed at Joycelyn, who was sleeping soundly in his arms.
Every now and then, he would reach out to gently stroke her soft hair or lightly caress her delicate face.
When he couldn't resist any longer, he would place a light kiss on her, careful not to wake her up. The room was filled with warmth and tenderness.
Joycelyn was woken up by hunger. When she opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was a face so familiar it was etched into her soul.
"Honey..." she murmured sleepily, her voice soft and sweet.
Ellison responded, gazing at her with deep affection.
"You didn't rest?" she asked.
"I can't stop myself watching you. You're so beautiful," Ellison said with a gentle smile.
Joycelyn bit her lip and chuckled softly, her expression warm and delicate. People said happiness gives people energy, and she felt completely recharged.
The couple lay face-to-face, simply looking at each other. To Joycelyn, Ellison's expression was tender and gentle. His gaze felt like the morning sunlight shimmering on a tranquil lake.
That kind of tenderness made people sink into it, bringing a sense of peace and security.
"Mr. Grant, you're very handsome," Joycelyn said playfully, her bright eyes twinkling. No matter how much she looked at him, she couldn't get enough.
Ellison reached out and gently stroked her soft, fair check.
As Joycelyn turned her head slightly, she caught sight of his wedding ring and suddenly thought of something. She asked, "My wedding ring... How did you buy it?" "Why?" Ellison finally noticed that Joycelyn's wedding ring was no longer on her finger. There was only a faint mark left behind. "Is something wrong with the ring?" Ellison recalled overhearing something about the ring that day.
Joycelyn explained, "Shirley said there was high-purity harmful powder hidden inside the ring. Combined with the herbal medicine I massaged into Isolde's body, the two substances clashed and harmed me." Joycelyn pursed her lips, blinking quietly as she looked at him.
Ellison's brows furrowed as he held her hand. "I ordered the ring from a branded store. I only remember that the serial number was our marriage registration date. Where is the ring? I'll investigate." Joycelyn said, "You bought the ring, but the medicinal packet inside was prepared by Dr. Mason. But he hasn't woken up yet." "He's still unconscious?" Ellison instinctively tried to prop himself up with his arms. The fact that Kingston was still comatose made him even more suspicious.
1/4 16:49 Mon, 17 Ma Chapter 313 "Yes..." Joycelyn had her own suspicions.
However, since Kingston was still unconscious, even if they questioned Leah, she might just push all the blonto him, making things even more complicated.

Ellison cursed, "Damn it! They hid the poison in the wedding ring. They were trying to drive a wedge between us!" Ellison couldn't wait another second. He sat up immediately, reaching for his phone.
"Slow down." Joycelyn urged, also sitting up carefully to make sure he didn't move too fast. "Your leg is still in a cast.
She herself had received the prenatal injection in her backside, and it was a little sore. They were truly an "injured yet determined couple.
Ellison said, "I'm fine. You should lie down." "No. I'm kind of hungry," Joycelyn admitted, a bit embarrassed.
"Alright. I'll have Sandra bring food in." Ellison picked up his phone and called Sandra.
Outside the hospital room, the Spencer family had all arrived. They were waiting anxiously. They were separated by just one door, but unable to go inside.
Jeff's three younger siblings kept glancing at their watches. Each of them wore luxury watches worth over 300 thousand dollars, but it didn't matter. Tstill passed just as slowly.
"It's already past mealtime. Why are they still not up?" Sebastian Spencer, the third eldest of the Spencer family, nudged his younger brother. "Edward, go check if Joycelyn is still asleep or if it's Ellison who's not up yet." Edward Spencer shot Sebastian a sidelong glance and sneered. “That's Ellison! If it were just anyone else, I would've knocked on the door and asked already." He had never seen Ellison in person, but his infamous reputation was enough to make him wary. Sebastian said, "What are you afraid of? You're his cousin-in-law." "You're older than me! If anyone has more authority, it's you. Why don't you go?" Edward usually wasn't one to back down, but he wasn't about to mess with Ellison.
"Useless." Sebastian scoffed, his handsface filled with disdain.
"Please, I don't want to offend Ellison." Edward leaned back lazily on the sofa, resting his hands behind his head and crossing- his legs comfortably as he waited.
"I heard Ellison is already 30, while Joycelyn isn't even 23. That's a seven-year age gap. He was in a coma for twenty days. Can his body even handle it?" Zack Spencer, the second eldest, frowned. His chiseled features looked unusually serious.
"Yeah, he's kinda old," Sebastian commented.
"A man of his age suffered a severe injury. Honestly, it's a bit concerning," Edward added with his usual sharp tongue.
The four of them sat in the lounge area, their eyes fixed on the hospital room door. The moment they saw Sandra arrive with a nutritionist and a meal tray, they all shot up from their seats at once.
Four tall handsmen exuded unique charm. They looked gentle, elegant, dashing, and sunny. Together, they were like a 2/4 Chapter 318 dazzling display of mode model Jeff asked.

She had bright eyes and delicate features. She looked just like the little doll they remembered from childhood, only grown to full size. They finally met their long-lost cousin.
The three of them stared at Joycelyn, their eyes brimming with unconcealed excitement.
Joycelyn had freshened up and was now sitting at the dining table, waiting for the meal while pushing Ellison's wheelchair into place beside her.
When she turned her head and saw Jeff along with three unfamiliar yet distinguished young men, she was momentarily taken aback.
"Sandra, these gentlemen are...?" Joycelyn asked in surprise.
Ellison, on the other hand, remained composed.
His gaze swept across the four men, and he quickly deduced who they were.
Jeff introduced them personally. “This is Zack Spencer, your cousin. These two are your youngest uncle's sons, Sebastian Spencer and Edward Spencer." The three men greeted her in turn, and Joycelyn nodded in acknowledgment.
Jeff said warmly, "Apologies for showing up so suddenly. But everyone back hwas too anxious to wait any longer. We just wanted to see you. I hope we didn't disturb you." If this had been the past, Joycelyn would have been overjoyed at the thought of reuniting with her family. She had once longed for it so much.
But given everything that had happened during her search for her birth family, the tragedies and complications that followed, she now felt hesitant and guilty.
Facing her four older cousins, she was unsure how to react.
"Please have a seat." Ellison invited them to sit.
"Shirley is with the Spencer elders visiting Grandma," Sandra said as she set the table. Grandma said there will be a dinner tonight to celebrate that you have finally found your family!" "Oh," Joycelyn murmured softly, nodding. Her nervousness was visible.
With Ellison not being a particularly talkative person, the atmosphere between the six of them remained awkward and unfamiliar.
"Have you guys had lunch yet? Would you like to eat something with us?" Joycelyn asked, looking at her four cousins. Their eager gazes made her grip her fork a little tighter.

Back when Joycelyn went missing, the three younger siblings were still kids themselves. To them, she had always been the family's little baby.
However, when their gazes shifted to Ellison, their expressions changed to one of scrutiny.
Edward tilted his head and stared at Ellison's leg, which was in a cast, as if assessing whether it would heal properly.
He thought that their precious cousin couldn't marry a cripple.
Ellison's eyes narrowed slightly.
