Elizabeth's fainting caused everyone's faces to change, especially Joshua, what was this woman doing? It was obviously her who lied, and the one who brought suffering upon herself. Now, she directly closed her eyes, wanting it to be finished?

How could there be such a cheap deal in this world? Joshua's eyes were filled with anger, he bit his lips:" Edwards, let's search around, I don't believe that she can still hide and not show herself!" Edwards immediately shot a look at the six bodyguards behind him.

Seeing this, Grace, although she really wanted to stop them, but after thinking for a while, she just stood beside them and said, "Gentlemen, you don't need to look for her. She's not here, she left the day before yesterday. I asked her, she didn't tell me where she was going. You came here for nothing."

The two Wayne brothers' expressions became as cold as ice when they heard Grace's words.

"Where did she go? You are her friend. Would she not tell you?" Edwards asked coldly.

Grace's face was bitter: "I really don't know. I don't even know why you are looking for her. She only said that something bad had happened to her and that she needed to stay here for a few days. Although we were friends, she didn't want to implicate me, so the last time Eliza came looking for her, she left on the same day in the afternoon."

Grace's words caused Joshua's expression to stiffen. As expected, this woman had seen April Jones before. Damn it, she actually dared to lie to him.

The farm was not big, and only a few rooms could hide people. A few bodyguards were spread out, and each person found a place. In the end, there was no one.

Grace sighed, "What I said was the truth, she is no longer here. Sir, what happened to Eliza? I don't think she's looking good. Can you take her to the hospital first?" "She deserved it!" Joshua cursed fiercely.

In the end, Edwards could only leave, but before he left, he sent two people to stay behind. He believed that if April Jones still came back here, he would definitely be able to capture her. Or perhaps, although he failed to find her in the room, she wouldn't be able to hide for the rest of her life.

"Joshua, take her to the hospital!" Edwards said in a serious tone.

Joshua nodded his head, bent down, and carried the unconscious Elizabeth in his arms.

On the way back, Joshua took one of Edwards's cars back. It looks like, this time, there wasn't much results.

The two brothers didn't sit in the same car, so Joshua was currently hugging unconscious Elizabeth, his face ashen as he leaned back in his seat. The scenery outside the window retreated, his heart, was messy yet filled with disappointment and anger.

The feeling of being deceived by others was truly unbearable, especially the woman he loves. This would cause that affection to waver.

His eyes were downcast, fixed on the woman's pale and delicate face. In the middle of winter, a thin layer of cold sweat appeared on her forehead. Her eyes were closed, and a row of thick, long eyelashes fell down. She has delicate features and pure temperament.

Joshua touched her hand and discovered that her hand was cold like ice, without any warmth at all.

Arriving at the city center, Joshua sent Elizabeth to the hospital. After the doctors examined her, they gave him the results of the temporary shock caused by excessive stimulation, which was not a big problem. In addition to the cold, her body was weak. With a sleep and some nutrition, she would wake up.

The doctor gave Elizabeth a small drip. In the huge ward, even the air seemed to stand still.

Joshua sat on the sofa opposite the sickbed, his hand continuously flipping through his phone.

Thinking about how this woman had perfectly concealed her identity from him, he felt unhappy from the bottom of his heart.

Did he really need to suspect that this woman was sincere in her affection? Or perhaps, was she getting close to him with the intention to atone for her shameless aunt's sins?

What qualifications does she have to be forgiven? Shouldn't she be punished for making a mistake?

"Mm..." The woman on the bed let out a faint groan, as if it was caused by too much discomfort.

Immediately after, Elizabeth's eyes that were tightly shut, slowly opened, and what entered her eyes was the white ceiling, and the medicine on the side.

This is a hospital?

Elizabeth suddenly sat up, and met a pair of dark eyes. The cold light in those eyes rippled, as if it was stirring up a burst of Siberian cold air. Elizabeth was startled, and took a deep breath. "Did you send me to the hospital? Thank you!" Elizabeth could still vaguely remember the matter of her fainting in the end, so she was convinced that it was Joshua who sent her here.

"Where's April Jones?" Joshua stared at her pale and colorless face, and asked word by word with a voice that was like ice.

"You... didn't find her?" Elizabeth's beautiful eyes widened in shock. She thought that at this time, her aunt should have already been found by now and might even be sent to police station for investigation. But hearing Joshua's question, her entire body shivered.

Had aunt run away again?

Joshua stood up from the sofa, his long and straight legs moving step by step towards her, his voice cold and angry: "You're still not willing to speak the truth to me, right? Elizabeth, don't test my patience. Don't think that just because I slept with you a few times, your aunt's crime can be removed with a single stroke."

Elizabeth was so frightened by his words that her face became even more pale. Her two hands subconsciously clenched the blanket tightly, bit her lips, and softly explained: "I really don't know where she went It's true that I met her before when I went to the farm, but I thought she would always stay there. I really don't know where she is now."

"Do you think I would believe you?" Joshua was already standing in front of her, looking down from above at her worried little face, coldly snorting, "Your face, really knows how to lie. The purer and more innocent you are, the more persuasive you are when you lie to others, right?"

"Joshua, this time, I really am not lying to you!" Elizabeth's face turned red and white with his sarcasm. She was not angry, no matter how much Joshua mocked her, she would still accept it, because this was the result that she deserved.

"You disappoint me!" Seeing that she still did not say anything, Joshua's handsome face flashed with anger.

Elizabeth was so scared that she quickly lowered her gaze. Tears welled in her eyes as she covered her face and sobbed, "I'm sorry, I was lying to you because I didn't want my aunt to be captured and imprisoned."

Joshua still wanted to scold her harshly again, but when he realized that she was holding up the needle, suddenly breaking the syringe and causing bright red blood to flow out, the expression in his eyes stiffened.

"My aunt has begged me not to tell you for the time being. Joshua, I'm sorry, but I'm not fit to stay by your side. Let me go, we shouldn't be together." Elizabeth's mind was in a mess, as she spoke incoherently.
