The Billionaire's Forbidden Longing

Chapter 371 This Child Isn't Sick Just then, Sophia's phone rang.

Seeing the caller ID, she immediately answered.

"Joyce." "Sophia, did you get the evidence?" "Got it. I'll send it to you right away." "Good, I'll handle the rest." After a few more casual exchanges, Joyce hung up the phone.

She looked at the two kids in front of her and said, "I have to go to work. You two stay with the butler and my dad. Mrs. Grayson will be back soon. Don't run around, okay?" Paxon and Neil nodded repeatedly, "Got it, Aunt Joyce. You can go." Joyce gave a few more instructions to the butler and then drove off.

Today, she had a court appearance for the divorce case of pediatric specialist Kimberly.

Her husband had cheated and secretly transferred their joint assets.

They were fighting fiercely for the custody of their child.

Joyce's task was not only to help Kimberly get her rightful assets but also to secure custody of her child. However, Kimberly's child had been raised by Kimberly's mother-in-law and was very obedient to her.

Since the divorce began, Kimberly's child had voluntarily chosen to stay with his father.

So, it would indeed be tough.

It was a case about family bonds.

Joyce, being a mother herself, naturally understood Kimberly's feelings at this moment. Before the court session, Joyce patted Kimberly on the shoulder and comforted her, "Don't worry, I'll make sure you get custody of your child." Throughout the trial, Joyce presented evidence one by one, proving that Kimberly's husband not only cheated but also had tendencies of domestic violence.

Joyce also used evidence of Kimberly's silent sacrifices for her child to make the child understand how important he was to Kimberly.

In the end, at the crucial moment, the child chose Kimberly.

The case was won perfectly, with Joyce's soul-stirring questioning making everyone in the courtroom tear up.

As they left the courtroom, Kimberly hugged her excitedly, "Ms. Blackwood, thank you so much. If you ever need my help, I'll do my best." Joyce smiled, "I charged you a fee, it's my job." Kimberly said, "Didn't you mention a child with a heart problem last time? I happen to be free today and I have my equipment in the car. I can take a look." "Great, he's at my dad's home. I'll take you there." They drove straight to the Blackwood Family estate.

Seeing Joyce's car pull in, the two kids who were watering flowers with Thomas in the yard ran towards her like little birds.

As they ran, they shouted, "Aunt Joyce." As soon as Joyce got out of the car, her legs were tightly hugged by the two little ones.

She smiled and patted their heads, "Why are you so dirty? Lettake you to clean up." Paxon, with his bright eyes, looked at Kimberly behind her and asked, "Aunt Joyce, is Miss your friend?" "This is pediatric specialist Kimberly Fitzgerald. She's here to check on Neil." "What's wrong with Neil? I didn't know." Seeing his serious expression, Joyce pinched his cheek with a smile, "He had surgery when he was little. You were just born then, so you wouldn't know." Hearing this, a look of concern appeared on Paxon's face.

If Joyce found out that Neil didn't actually have a heart condition, would she start to suspect? Although he wanted Joyce to know that he was the baby she lost, Sebastian said the monster wasn't defeated yet. If Joyce took him back, they would all be in danger.

Paxon stood there, deep in thought, watching Joyce.

Joyce thought he was afraid of the doctor and said, "If you're scared, you can play outside with Thomas. I'll take Neil inside." Paxon nodded a few times.

Watching them leave, his big eyes kept darting around.

How could he stop Joyce from discovering the truth? Kimberly took out her equipment and was about to examine Neil.

She suddenly asked, "Ms. Blackwood, are you sure it's this child and not the one outside?" Joyce was puzzled, "Why? Is there a problem?" "This child doesn't have any surgical scars, which means he never had surgery." Hearing this, Joyce's heart sank, "Could it be that my sister was afraid of leaving a scar and had a scar removal surgery done?" Kimberly checked Neil with her equipment and said, "I can confirm that this child doesn't have a heart condition and has never had any surgery. They are fraternal twins. Could you have mixed them up?" "No, they are fraternal twins and have been different since birth. I wouldn't mix them up." "Then it's strange. Neil isn't sick. Why would your sister lie to you?" "But I saw the 4D ultrasound when he was little. It clearly stated that one of the twins had a heart condition." Joyce immediately found the 4D ultrasound photo on her phone and showed it to Kimberly.

Seeing the photo, Kimberly's face instantly darkened.

"Are you sure Neil is the one in the photo? According to this data, the child in the photo wouldn't have survived to birth. His heart was severely defective." Hearing this, Joyce felt like her heart was hit hard.

She had no doubt about Kimberly's medical skills.

But why did Kimberly say that the child couldn't have survived? If that child couldn't survive, then where did Neil cfrom? Why would Alissa lie to her? Thinking about this, an unbelievable thought suddenly popped into Joyce's mind.

She was instantly terrified.

Just as she was finding the whole situation unbelievable, she heard Paxon crying outside.

The cry was so tragic, as if something terrible had happened.

Joyce immediately rushed out and found Paxon with a deep with a deep out on his thigh bleeding heavily. "Paxon." Joyce's heart tightened, and her voice trembled.

Seeing this, Kimberly immediately said, "He might have hit a blood vessel. I'll bandage him first, and then we need to get to the hospital." They drove straight to the hospital.

Although Paxon's leg was treated, blood kept flowing out.

He was in so much pain that he kept crying.

Joyce's heart broke and tears streamed down her face.

Seeing her cry, Paxon immediately stopped crying.

His little hand gently wiped her tears, his voice choked, "Aunt Joyce, don't worry. I won't cry anymore." Seeing how understanding he was, Joyce felt even more heartbroken.

She held Paxon tightly in her arms, her heart aching beyond measure.

That heart-wrenching pain reminded her of the moment she lost her own baby.

At the hospital, Paxon was rushed into the emergency room.

Joyce stood outside alone, her legs trembling.

Ten minutes later, Julian and Alissa arrived.

After hearing the whole story, Alissa also cried in pain.

Just then, the operating room door opened, and the doctor cout, saying, "The child has lost a lot of blood and needed transfusion, but he has Rh negative blood, and the blood bank is out of stock. We're transferring from other hospitals. Here's the consent form, a guardian needs to sign." Without thinking, Joyce immediately said, "I have Rh negative blood. I can donate to him."
