Chapter 694
The next morning at the hospital.
Alice brought breakfast to visit Joelle. She thought her son would be there, so she brought breakfast for two.
Unexpectedly, she saw Joelle alone when she entered the ward. A hint of surprise could be seen on her fair, well-
maintained, and wealthy-looking face. "Joelle, where's Sean?"
"Mrs. Anderson, you're here." Joelle sat up on her bed immediately as she heard the voice. She said in a polite and
gentle tone, "Sean went back last night."
"What? I thought I asked him to stay with you."
Alice’s expression suddenly changed. Her arched eyebrows showed that she was displeased.
But, Joelle simply smiled, she intentionally defended Sean, "Mrs. Anderson, I asked Sean to go back. He was very

last night. How can I ask Sean and Ms. May to stay here with me?"
She was gentle and humble as she said that, she displayed signs of being understanding and ladylike.
But to Alice, it was a large amount of information to be processed in what Joelle said!
"Ms. May came here last night?"
"Ah... I'm sorry, Mrs. Anderson. I've talked too much."
Joelle immediately covered her mouth to play innocent. She continued to pretend to be kind as she said, "Mrs.
Anderson, don't be mad. Sean and Ms. May are a couple. It wouldn't be appropriate for Sean to stay with me.
"I think Ms. May came over because she was jealous."
Joelle remained silent after she said that.
Whatever she said sounded like she was defending Molly. But in fact, every sentence she said was against her!
Molly ruined her opportunity to be alone with Sean, of course, she had to make snide remarks about her.
Sure enough, Alice's expression changed immediately, she was dissatisfied with Sean and Molly!
She immediately said in anger, "Joelle, I feel sorry for you. I'll call Sean right now to ask him about it."
She phoned Sean right after she said that.
Sean just woke up not long ago. He was sitting in front of a table to have his breakfast.
He frowned when he got a call from his mother. He could vaguely guess what would happen next. He swiped to
accept the phone call after hesitating for two seconds.
"Hi? Mom."
"Sean, what is wrong with you? Didn't I ask you to stay with Joelle last night? Why did you leave at midnight?"
Right after the call was connected, Alice's querulous voice could be heard immediately.
Joelle was whispering beside her. She said timidly, "Mrs. Anderson, don't be angry. I wanted Sean to go home and

"Joelle, stop talking."
Alice immediately stopped Joelle from talking, she impolitely asked her son, "Sean, are you disobeying your mother
now?
"Joelle overworked herself yesterday. As her boss, you didn't even take good care of her. It's perfectly justified for
me to ask you to stay with her at the hospital. Why didn't you listen?"
Sean remained silent for a long time as he heard her mother ask him that aggressively. He rubbed his temple, as
he was irritated.
After his mother finished talking, he replied coldly, "Mom, if it really doesn't work out, let Ms. Herring go back. Don't
come to the Anderson Corporation. The Anderson Corporation can't look after her."
"Sean, what did you just say?"
Alice replied unhappily, she was on speaker, and Joelle was heartbroken when she heard that.
