"Gone," he spoke lightly.
"What did you do to scare them away so fast?" she was amazed. She knew very clearly how tricky Matt's family were, especially when they were obviously up to no good now. she had thought they would definitely make a scene.
"I haven't done anything yet," he said quietly. When he opened the door, he saw the backs of Matt and his wife hurrying away.
"What's the matter?" she was more surprised, and the alarm went off in her heart at the same time. They were so abnormal that they would definitely do something else.
"I presume," Joshua said as his face darkened, "that they go to the hospital."
That was the only reason why Matt and his wife left so quickly. It was likely that they thought they had gotten something on Hazel, and they could tip Harry and Rachel off about this.
"What?!" Hazel was startled and hurried to suggest, "Let's go to the hospital!"
Rachel needed to be in a good mood when she was recovering. Hazel really didn't want Rachel to be harassed by Matt's family.
"Okay." Joshua nodded. He had everything ready by the time Hazel washed her face.
They hurried to the hospital together. By the time they got to Rachel's ward, they could already hear Emma's loud voice coming from inside.
"... I don't mean to criticize you, Rachel, but you've really spoiled Hazel too much, indulging her every whim normally! Do you know what she did last night when you weren't around? Alas, speaking of it, as her aunt, I'm ashamed to say it!"
"Haven't you been always ashamed?" Rachel said with a cold face.
But her voice wasn't loud enough, so Emma didn't hear it. She asked blankly, "What?"
"Cough, cough," Harry coughed helplessly. He had a good temper and was not as straightforward as Rachel, but he lost his patience with Matt's family now.
He said, "We mean, if you don't want to say it, then don't say it. We don't want to hear it anyway."
"..." Emma was speechless because of his words. She and Matt had never expected that the Crowe family would actually be so protective of Hazel.
"Harry, I don't want to reproach you," Matt was worried instantly and hurried to speak loudly, "but the reason why Hazel would do such lewd things is all because you indulge her every whim no matter it's right or wrong!"
"What have I done?" Hazel opened the door and walked into the ward with Joshua.
Seeing Hazel arrive so soon, Matt's and Emma's faces suddenly changed. And when they saw Joshua behind Hazel, they paled.
They looked at each other. For a moment, there was only one thought in their hearts. Since Hazel brought Joshua here, she must plan to tell her relationship with Joshua to Harry ahead of them! Matt and Emma would never give her that chance!
"How dare you ask!" Emma took preemptive action, reproaching in anger, "Hazel, what's your relationship with this man?! Do you want to say he's your boyfriend and you're introducing him to my brother and my sister-in-law?
"Well, if you want to introduce him, why do you have to do that at this time? I think it's clearly because your scandal has been exposed, and you're afraid this will make your parents angry that you have to bring this illegal lover to them!"
Hearing this, Harry and Rachel were confused. They didn't know what Matt and Emma had seen and misunderstood. It was clear that Joshua was their outstanding son-in-law, but how did Joshua become an 'illegal lover'?
"What do you want?" Even Harry was pissed off. "Of course, we've met Joshua, and we know about his relationship with Hazel. Matt, control your wife. She's an elder. How can she say such harsh words!"
Both Matt and Emma froze. They stared at the Crowe family, dumbstruck. What? Harry and Rachel had known about Hazel's relationship with the man?
It was such a shock to Emma that she forgot what she had intended to say.
Soon, Matt came to his senses and gave Emma an angry look, cursing her in the heart. "Useless."
However, he was sure even if Harry and Rachel knew Hazel had a boyfriend, they wouldn't accept that they had had sex!
Matt had no idea he was right about that indeed. Otherwise, it wouldn't have the three rules. But he was ridiculously wrong about something else. Now he who did not know that was triumphant in the heart.
However, he wore a grave expression. "Harry, Rachel, I know you love Hazel and believe her whatever she says. But you know what? This man stayed at your house while you were away last night! Besides, we had just gone to your house and saw the two of them making love!"
"Yes!" Emma also came to her senses and echoed violently. "Rachel, I don't want to reproach you. What's wrong with them being boyfriend and girlfriend? But can they have sex because they're a couple? Society is open-minded now, but our big family has a strict upbringing in terms of sex.
"How can we put up with such a thing as making love before marriage? Hazel is too young to love herself. If they were no longer together, she would get nothing and become second-hand. Which man would want her?!"
"Shut up!" Rachel was so angry that she picked up the glass on the table and threw it in Emma's direction!
Emma was taken aback and hurried to dodge.
Initially, Rachel didn't intend to hit her. It was just because she was too angry about the 'second-hand' that she wanted to smash the glass to scare her. She didn't really throw it at her.
Emma dodged easily, but the next moment, she suddenly felt something hit her knee, and she fell forward uncontrollably.
"Ahh!" Emma screamed and fell flat on her face.
This was very painful as one of her teeth was directly broken, and her lips bled!
She managed to get up and glared at all the people present. "Who, push, pushed me…."
She clapped her hands to her mouth when she heard her broken voice. She didn't know who did that, so she had to suffer.
Joshua's eyes were cold. It was he who did that just now. He remembered clearly how Matt and Emma verbally insulted Hazel several times. He would never let these two people go!
Matt looked at Emma unhappily. Not only did he not feel sorry for what had happened to her, but he felt ashamed of her.
The next moment, with a pained look on his face, he said, "Rachel, even if you're angry, you should punish Hazel. Why do you hurt Emma?"
