Unfinished Business with You

Chapter 1500

Chapter 1500 Escorted Back to Her Room

The head of the bodyguards said, "There's no such thing as ghosts. People are just being delusional. Go back to sleep. She probably won't scream again."

Olivia obediently agreed, but as she walked back, she kept looking back and said, "I heard a woman's voice. She was screaming so miserably. It's really not a ghost?"

The head of the bodyguards helplessly explained, "No, that's the woman Mr. Joseph brought back. She might have received some sort of punishment."

Olivia's heart skipped a beat and instantly rose to her throat. She almost yelled out immediately, "The woman he brought back, is she a woman with short hair?"

The head of the bodyguards' face darkened. "You're asking too many questions."

Pretending to be sulking, Olivia rebuked, "I'm just curious. She won't scream again, right?"

"She won't, so go back to sleep."

He stared at her. "I'll escort you back."

At this point, Olivia didn't dare to say anything more, so she turned around and returned to her own room under the surveillance of the group of bodyguards.

When she returned, the guard at the door was startled.

They stared at Olivia in astonishment, wondering how she came back without being noticed.

But Olivia didn't have time to care about what they thought because her mind was filled with the scream she heard just now. It must have been Jewel. Who else could have been captured besides Jewel?

It must be Joseph torturing her, or else why would she make such a painful scream?

What should she do?

How would she save her?

Not to mention her own safety, she still had the freedom of movement.

She couldn't possibly rescue Jewel under such tight security.

Would rashly negotiating with Joseph force him to become desperate and kill to silence Jewel?

Olivia didn't sleep much that night because her mind was full of thoughts on how to save Jewel.

…

Joseph didn't go to Madison's room tonight.

In fact, he rarely left her room. Ever since the loss of their child, he had always stayed by her side, but it wasn't fully because he wanted to accompany her.

Tonight, he wanted to be alone and quietly returned to his own room, smoking one cigarette after another and feeling inexplicably irritable.

After a while, he heard a knock on the door.

"Mr. Joseph, Miss Houghton is asking why you haven't returned."

Joseph didn't lift his head and said, "Just tell her I haven't finished my work and ask that she go to bed first."

The guard at the door walked away in response. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

However, the door was knocked again before he finished smoking another cigarette. "Mr. Joseph, Miss Houghton says her stomach hurts and wants you to accompany her."

Without giving a response, Joseph sighed and opened the door to make his way to Madison's room.

After a while, Joseph sighed and opened the door, heading straight to Madison's room.

Once he entered the room, he saw a woman curled up on the bed.

She looked pitiful as tears streamed down her face before she even spoke. "Mr. Jonathan."

Which man could resist such a tearful and pitiful appearance?

Joseph was no exception. He walked over in a few steps and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Madison whined, "My stomach hurts."

Putting his big hand directly over her lower abdomen, he gently massaged it. "Feeling better?"

Madison nodded. "Better."

As Joseph looked at her shy face, he couldn't help but think of Jewel's disheveled face.

He had never personally experienced how terrifying the mixture of ten poisons could be, but he could imagine it just by looking at Jewel's appearance.

Even an ordinary person couldn't bear one kind of poison, let alone ten?

Compared to Jewel, Madison had always been delicate and weak. It was one of the reasons for her physical weakness, and she did rely on his love for her to make her act arrogantly.

Moreover, she would get angry over trivial matters and cry out for comfort over minor injuries.

Of course, he had also gotten used to indulging her.

Suddenly, a soft body threw itself into his arms, followed by two arms wrapping around his neck. A familiar fragrance then entered his nose as his lips were also covered by two soft ones.

Joseph might have just complied in the past, but they had never been together since Madison got pregnant until they no longer had a child.

He couldn't say the reason, but he didn't feel like complying with them anymore.

The explanation he gave himself was that her body couldn't handle it.
