CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

Chapter 1483

Joyce could see Stanley, dressed in a white coat, talking to a nurse at the counter not too far away.

When she saw the man, her lips trembled, and her eyes turned red.

The man sent to help Joyce furrowed his eyebrows when he noticed something wrong with the woman. “Why did you stop? We have to keep moving.”

“I...” Joyce looked at the man beside her and then at Stanley. “Can you give me a minute? I need to take one last look at him before I leave.” I may never see Stanley again. I just need a moment to take a mental picture so I don't forget him.

However, the man sent to sneak Joyce away disagreed, “No, I can't let you stare at him because he'll notice you. If that happens, you won't be able to leave. He might even drag you to the operation room as soon as he realizes that you're trying to escape.”

Upon hearing that, Joyce immediately shivered while her face turned pale, for she knew the man was right.

“Come on, Ms. Rivers. We have to go,” urged the man.

After taking one last look at Stanley, Joyce left with Shane's man with clenched fists and gritted teeth.

At that moment, Joyce felt as if she could not breathe because of how much her heart ached. Her hands shook as her reddened eyes began to well up with tears.

Upon getting into the car, the woman stared at the hospital as they gradually moved farther from it. Only then did she finally break down and cry. I'm sorry, Stanley, but this is goodbye. You'll never have to see me or my family again. I pray you can let go of the hate and live happily with someone that suits you. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

Half an hour later, Joyce boarded Shane's private plane and was reunited with her parents.

The plane then fired up and zoomed into the clouds, leaving J City behind.

Not long after Joyce had left, Stanley, still in the hospital, was told that she was not in her room.

The man did not realize Joyce had run off until the nurses failed to find her anywhere in the building, and he discovered the farewell letter under her pillow.

When Stanley learned that he would never see Joyce again, his face immediately turned crimson red. “How dare you run away from me, Joyce!” uttered the man in an icy-cold voice after furiously tearing the letter to pieces. Does she seriously think she can hide from me forever? What a pile of nonsense! I won't stop until I find her. Only by torturing her can I quench my anger!

After taking a deep breath to calm himself down, Stanley narrowed his eyes as he tried to figure out what had just happened. This entire hospital is under my control, so there's no way Joyce could've escaped on her own. She must've had help, and I bet she got it from Natalie. Seeing how close the two women are, I don't doubt that Joyce went to Natalie for help instead of Justin. Even though the man's quite powerful, his influence doesn't reach J City. Hence, he couldn't have sneaked Joyce away under my nose. Natalie's the only one who can do that. Of course, it wouldn't have been possible if Natalie didn't get Shane to help as well.

Convinced that Natalie and Shane would have helped Joyce's parents get away too, Stanley clenched his fists before slamming them on the table.

Because of how hard the man hit the piece of furniture, his knuckles started to bleed.

However, the pain did not seem to bother Stanley, who quickly pulled out his phone to make a call.

It did not take long before the person on the other end of the line picked up. “Mr. Quinn.”

“See if Jonathan and his wife are still at home,” ordered Stanley coldly, squeezing his phone.

“Yes, Mr. Quinn,” responded the other party.

Even after hanging up, Stanley's expression remained grim and foreboding.

After a few minutes, his phone rang.
