BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1257 - 545: It Was All His Fault
They… hadn\'t had a wedding yet!
Two lines of helpless tears ran down her cheeks. Why was that?
It was clear that Joshua saw her and called her name so gently just now, but the next moment, he was shot and fell down the cliff, with a face full of blood...
"Hazel!" Seeing that she was about to follow and jump, Simon quickly stopped her. "Calm down! James has taken some people to go down to look for..."
Hazel broke free of his hand and said fiercely, "Let me go! It\'s all your fault! I shouldn\'t have believed you. I shouldn\'t have believed you…."
Simon\'s eyes dimmed as he could not contradict.
Her accusations and her tears cut back and forth in his heart like a sharp knife.
When he saw Joshua fall off the cliff, Simon suddenly realized that he didn\'t want Joshua to get hurt or die. He hated Joshua and even disliked him from the bottom of his heart, but he also admired Joshua\'s abilities, resolution, and boldness.
In their cooperation, Joshua had perfectly finished what he should do, but Simon trusted his own men so much that Ian took advantage of it. It was also because Simon wasn\'t on guard against Ian. If he had disarmed his men first or had someone protect Joshua, all this would not have happened.
Hazel was right. It was all his fault.
"Simon," Ian had been completely captured by Simon\'s men, but he was looking very excited and mad now. "They\'re all dead! The asshole Ted who killed your mother has been blown up by me! His little bastard son, who has been shot and fallen into the sea, must be dead too! The organization is yours now. No one is going to compete for it with you. It\'s all yours…."
There was a sudden rush of hatred in Hazel\'s eyes. It\'s this man\'s fault, this man\'s fault!
She grabbed the gun from Simon and pointed it at Ian. "I\'ll kill you!"
A gunshot rang out. Ian let out a cry as a bloody hole was left in his shoulder.
Seeing her emotions completely out of control, Simon quickly grabbed the gun from her hand and hit her in the back of her neck to make her faint.
Her body collapsed. Simon reached out his hands to hug her. "Hazel, I\'m sorry. I\'ll punish my uncle…."
***
Hazel woke up in the hospital.
She opened her eyes and saw the white ceiling and James by the bed.
"Where\'s Joshua?" Hazel asked, sitting up straight.
"I\'m still looking for him," James replied.
Her fingers tightened slightly. When she fainted, the hospital gave her an intravenous drip. She swiftly removed the needle and lifted the quilt to get out of bed.
"Hazel," James stopped hurriedly, "you\'re very emotional now. You\'d better not go. Take a rest…"
"James, we were around… when he fell, and you went to look for him immediately at that time. How could you not find him? You don\'t want me to go there," she said, her eyes growing misty and her uncontrollable fear spreading fast in her heart. She raised her eyes and asked, trembling, "is it because he\'s..."
She was so sad and scared that she couldn\'t say the next words.
She didn\'t dare to imagine the scene where Joshua was dead. She really didn\'t want to see a cold dead body... she was scared it was because James and others were worried that she wouldn\'t be able to accept the fact that Joshua had been dead that they kept it from her.
"... If so, I want to see him!" Hazel bit her lip. Her heart seemed unable to breathe. Escapism was never her style.
"I\'m not lying to you, Hazel," James said helplessly. "I haven\'t found him yet."
"How is that possible?!" Hazel looks at him in shock.
The cliff on the tarmac was too steep for people to go straight down. James had to take the men back to the harbor and take a speedboat as fast as he could. But when they went there, they couldn\'t find Joshua and Stacy. Even as they expanded their search, they couldn\'t find them.
Simon didn\'t know how to face her, so he handed her to James. Simon was still on Stacy Island, leading the search for them.
"You didn\'t lie to me?" Hazel stared at James.
No news was good news for her now. Even if Joshua hadn\'t been found, it would… be better for her to face a dead body. As long as he was not found, he was probably still alive. Perhaps he had been swept away somewhere else, perhaps he had been saved by someone else... In this way, she could always have hope.
"I\'m not lying to you," James said seriously. "Hazel, just think, even if Joshua was killed, Aunt Stacy shouldn\'t be hurt. But this time Aunt Stacy also disappears…."
Hazel\'s fingers tightened. James had a point. Even Stacy was also missing. It looked like they really hadn\'t found anyone yet.
Taking a deep breath, she said in a deep voice, "I\'m going to Stacy Island!"
She was going to look for Joshua. Whatever the outcome, she could not escape. Joshua had said he would not leave her alone. She was willing to believe him.
James shook his head. "Hazel, you can\'t go..."
"Why?" She looks at him with a puzzle. "Since you say you aren\'t lying to me, why do you stop me from going to Stacy Island?! Don\'t worry, I won\'t make trouble!"
James was a bit helpless. He sighed. "Hazel, I don\'t want you to go because your body…."
"Why?" she interrupted impatiently. "I\'m fine! Get out of my way! Don\'t stop me!"
"Hazel," James frowned, "if you don\'t think about yourself, shouldn\'t you think about the baby in your body?"
"What?" A bolt of thunder exploded in her heart, and she looked at him in disbelief, her hand unconsciously put on her flat stomach, "... Baby?"
"Don\'t you know you\'re pregnant?" James said in amazement, "The doctor says you\'re six weeks pregnant."
She felt bewildered. She was… pregnant?
Previously, Hazel had mistakenly assumed that Joshua didn\'t want children so early because he gave in to her, so she had been pestering him all that time.
