Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

Hazel was in absolute disbelief.

Vanessa had committed suicide? She had just called her early in the day to warn her to leave Joshua.

Joshua hung up the phone after saying a few words that Hazel could not comprehend due to the shock.

"Is she okay?" Hazel asked.

"Kenny found her and got her to the hospital in time. Now she is out of danger." Joshua replied. Hazel muttered, "Will you go to visit her?"

"Yeah. That is also the reason Kenny called me, I need to visit her in person." Joshua replied in a low voice.

"Okay." Hazel replied in a depressing voice.

Joshua noticed the change of her expression and smiled, "Are you jealous of her?"

"No, I'm not." Hazel refuted him angrily.

"Hazel, come with me." He proposed.

"What?" Hazel looked up at him with a puzzled look.

"Since you seem to be uncomfortable with me going to visit her alone, then come with me."

Joshua spoke to her and held her hand naturally.

Hazel hesitated, it was indeed better that she went to the hospital with him rather than staying in the dormitory speculating what would happen between them.

"Okay." Hazel nodded her head. "Would it be too late to go now?"

"No." Joshua replied calmly, "We won't stay long anyway. We will figure out the situation, and I will bring you back right away."

When they arrived at the hospital, they found Vanessa lying in her bed, and Kenny was sitting beside her. He heard the door open, so he lifted his head to see that Joshua and Hazel were walking in.

Kenny was angry when he saw Hazel was also there. He stood up, walked toward them, and then he asked Joshua in a low but angry voice, "Why is she with you?"

"Hazel is my girlfriend, why shouldn't she come with me?" Joshua raised his eyebrows and was irritated slightly.

"Joshua, you should not be like that." Kenny was angrier, "Vanessa tried to commit suicide because of you. The fact that Hazel being here will just make her sadder."

Hazel felt awkward and suddenly believed that her appearance here was indeed inappropriate. Even though she had misunderstood Joshua and Vanessa before, it was the truth that Vanessa liked Joshua.

From Vanessa's point of view, she might think that Hazel came here with Joshua just to show off.

Joshua replied in a cold voice, "Kenny, I know you have always regarded Vanessa as your sister, I have never ever had any other feelings for her."

"If you had no special feelings for her, then why would you do that to her." Kenny stared at him angrily.

Joshua furrowed his eyebrows, "What did she say to you?"

Hazel also furrowed her eyebrows. She wondered if she misunderstood what he was saying, regardless his choice of words made her uncomfortable.

Vanessa woke up before Kenny was about to reply.

"Joshua, is that you?" She asked in a mournful voice.

Kenny stepped aside so that Joshua and Hazel could get closer to Vanessa's bed.

Vanessa struggled to sit up. When she saw Hazel, a flash of hatred appeared in her eyes.

"It's me." Joshua replied, "Vanessa, you need to give this a rest and let it go."

"How could I let it go?" She had an IV in her hand, out of the craziness, she pulled the needle out. "Joshua, how could you treat me like that?" She spoke to Joshua with grief and resentment.

Kenny quickly calmed her, "Vanessa, take it easy."

Joshua spoke to Vanessa coldly, "Vanessa, I think I have made it clear about us."

"Do not talk with me about this!" Vanessa interrupted him. She said with tears in her eyes, "Why did you come here then? Leave me to die."

"Joshua, why are you pushing her so hard?" Kenny shouted at him.

Joshua was miserable, and Vanessa would not even do not give him a chance to speak. He believed there was a weird reason.

Suddenly someone pushed the door open, Vanessa's parents came rushing into the room in a panic.

"My dear, why are you so stupid?" Vanessa's mother, Mabel Lawrence, rushed to her daughter and pushed Kenny away. She held Vanessa to comfort her.

"Mom, how could he treat me that way? I'm too ashamed to live." Vanessa burst out crying in Mabel's arms.

Hazel found it strange to be looking at the mom and daughter crying together.

It made no sense that even if Vanessa was assaulted and she could not deal with it, why would she put all the responsibility on Joshua.

Hazel worried about Joshua and pulled on his sleeves, but he gently pinched her palm and motioned for her not to worry.

At that time, Vanessa's father, Garry Young, walked toward Joshua.

He spoke to Joshua angrily, "I see you are all grown up now. Vanessa has always been close to you. How can you treat her that way?"

Joshua still replied coldly, "I do not know what you are talking about."

Maybe Joshua's momentum shocked Garry. "Joshua, a decent person, should be responsible for what he has done. For this, you should take responsibility!"

Why would Joshua be the one to take the responsibility?

Hazel was feeling sick to her stomach, she felt something was very wrong.

When she was thinking, Joshua asked, "Uncle Garry, what do you want me to do?"

"Marry her, of course," Garry replied in a firm voice. "You have slept with my daughter; shouldn't you marry her? Do you think that we Young family are weak and you can use us?"

Hazel was deep in thought, but when she heard Garry say that Joshua should marry Vanessa, her head spun around to look at them.

"Have you misinterpreted something?" Joshua refuted, "Nothing happened between your daughter and me."

"Mom, he will not even admit what he has done." Vanessa cried loudly.

Hazel was stunned. Vanessa's family was trying to make trouble out of nothing and force Joshua to marry her!

"Joshua, are you still a man?" Garry stared at him angrily. Then he noticed Hazel and saw the light suddenly, "I see. You bastard. Is this woman the reason that you are reluctant to assume your responsibility for Vanessa?"

"Director Young, I respect you as an elder and call you uncle," Joshua was irritated, "But I hope you can also show your respect and don't forget who you are."

Mabel got angry upon hearing that, she lunged at Hazel and shouted, "Bitch, it's you who deceived Joshua. I will beat you to death."
