Chapter 28 Can Joshua Be Trusted

“Mr. Joshua, could I possibly switch hospitals or at least rooms? The Langford family is just too annoying!”
Emery frowned, a hint of helplessness reflecting in her eyes.
Joshua’s brows furrowed slightly, his expression darkening as he asked, “What were they doing here? Were they trying to get you to drop the charges?”
With a sense of injustice. Emery nodded slightly. “Mm–hmm.”
A glint of icy determination flashed in Joshua’s eyes as he firmly declared, “Don’t worry. They won’t be able to get in
tomorrow.”
Immediately. Emery’s face lit up with a gentle smile. Expressing her gratitude, she said, “Thank you, Mr. Joshua!”
“Eat more, you’ve become too skinny.”
Joshua, while speaking, served her a chicken tender.
Emery gazed at her gradually swelling belly, then shifted her eyes to the chicken tender in the bowl.
It would seem rather rade not to eat what Mr. Joshua served me, wouldn’t it?
With that, she steeled herself and ate the chicken tender.
“Mr. Joshua, there’s something else. I want to sever ties with the Langford family. Could you help me draft an agreement and then publish it in the newspaper? I really can’t stand to see them anymore! Once I’m discharged from the hospital, I’ll move to your place!”
The pleading look on Emery’s pale face couldn’t be anymore obvious.
Joshua felt a jolt in his heart, his eyes filled with concern. He gently stroked Emery’s head, reassuring her, “Alright, don’t worry. Leave everything to me.”
Enery subtly nodded, her eyes shimmering with unshed tears.

In this world, she no longer had anyone by her side, and she dared hot trust anyone anymore.
Can Joshua be trusted?
Even Emery didn’t know the answer
All she knew about Joshua was he was
Howard’s uncle.
Years ago. Emery had visited the Xenakis family and had met the latter a few times.
Other than that, she had no recollection of him.
Now, he was willing to be her rock, and of course, she couldn’t miss this once–in–a–lifetime opportunity
It was merely for two years, a they would each take what they needed.
Moreover, Joshua was undeniably good–looking, enough to be the envy of the town. Even though he was six years older than her, he could hardly be considered old at twenty–eight

Nicholas knew that once Emery had made a decision, it was hard for her to change her mind, but he still wanted to give it a
After all, blood was thicker than water, and he didn’t want his family to fall apart.
Upon arriving at the hospital, he had barely reached the entrance of the ward when he was stopped by four burly bodyguards.
“Sir, you can’t go in without Ms. Langford’s permission!” one of the bodyguards asserted.
Nicholas’s face darkened as he bellowed. “I’m her older brother! Why are you stopping me?”
The bodyguard showed no signs of backing down, stating. “No exceptions. Please wait here while I check if Ms. Langford is willing to see you.”
The bodyguard rapped on the door before stepping into the hospital room. With a respectful tone, he said. “Ms. Langford, there’s a man claiming to be your older brother here. Would you like to see him?”
Upon hearing. Emery immediately knew it was Nicholas, and she was certain he was there to persuade her to drop the charges again. She furrowed her brows, saying, “I don’t want to see him. Tell him I’m tired and sleeping.”
Emery’s voice was not loud, yet the resolve in her tone was clear.
Upon hearing Emery’s words at the hospital room door, Nicholas was so irritated that he gritted his teeth and shouted. “Emery, it’s me, Nicholas!”
After receiving the orders, the bodyguard blocked Nicholas‘ way with even greater fervor.
Left with no choice, Nicholas grumbled under his breath as he walked away.
Emery thought that Joshua’s idea was really good. Not only did she not have to face her family, but she could also irritate them to no end.
Not long after, a few uninvited guests arrived.
They were none other than the parents of Zachary, Niamh, and Mila.
They were outside, raising their voices in a ruckus. They were pleading one moment, and hurling insults the next.
No matter how much they tried, they simply couldn’t

After making a fuss for a while, they could only leave in frustration.
Upon witnessing this scene, Emery’s mood had significantly improved.
Just after ten, Annie arrived.
She had been working overtime at her company these past few days, completely unaware of what was happening in the Langford family
Just this morning she saw a video in a group chat showing that Emery had been injured Consumed with worry, she quickly asked my supervisor for leave and rushed to the hospital.
