The Mysterious Billionaire

Chapter 385

Due to Paxton's injuries, the interrogation had to be called off, so Joseph took Paige home.

It was already eight o'clock at night, and they hadn't had a good rest since midnight, so they were very tired.

While worrying for Paige, he poured her a glass of milk and said, "Have a glass of milk first. Don't worry, I'll find a way to make Paxton confess!"

"Joseph, I know you've always been helping me, but this time... you don't have to if it puts you in a difficult position!" She took the milk and placed it on the tea table.

"I'm not in a difficult position!"

"I know you are! Paxton is your sister's servant, and your sister is the wife of the Saunders family. The Saunders family will definitely help your sister, and your father will not stand by. There's so much pressure from all sides... I don't want to make it difficult for you!"

"I said it's not difficult for me!" He picked up the milk again and pressed it against her mouth. "Be good and listen to me. Have a glass of milk first. You haven't eaten lunch, so you must be hungry now!"

She opened her mouth and drank half a cup of the milk, then he finished what was left. "If you don't have the appetite to eat, I'll ask Bobby to make you some seafood porridge!"

"I can't eat!" She sighed. "Joseph, you know that I won't blame you even if you don't help me, right?"

He frowned. "Paige, what are we to each other?"

"We're a couple?" She replied.

"Just that? I see you as my wife, but you only see me as your boyfriend?" He looked at her with hurt.

"I'm sorry! It came out wrong!" She apologized.

"I don't want your apology. I know that you are very upset and afraid now, and I know that what you have seen makes you suspect me. But Paige, I am different from them! I will not do such vicious things to you. I will not abandon you. No matter what happens, I will be by your side to care of you and protect you!"

"Joseph!" She burst into tears. She put her arms around his waist and said, "You must be the angel sent by God to save me, right? I'm such a bad person... I don't have any capabilities, I'm not talented, and I'm super stubborn. Why are you so kind to me?"

"No reason. I just want to be good to you. Only you for the rest of my life!"

While they hugged each other emotionally, Lamont's phone call came through. Paige let go of Joseph's embrace and answered the phone, "Uncle Saunders!"

"Miss Anderson, please come out for a moment. I have something to say to you."

"Come in and talk! I'll open the door for you."

"No, you come out instead!" Since he didn't want to come in, she had to get up. "I'm going to see Uncle Saunders."

Joseph frowned. What did Lamont mean by refusing to come in?

Did Lamont not want him to listen to their conversation? This was too hilarious.

Joseph was unhappy so he didn't go out with her. He sat on the sofa and called James.

"Are you keeping an eye on the hospital?"

"Yes, we have police guarding at the door. There are two people there, so I don't think anything will happen." He replied.

"We can't be careless. If my guess is right, someone will try to get close to the ward tonight." Joseph did not believe that Paxton would harm Natalie for no reason, and it was too big of a risk to help Isabella get the Anderson Group's property. If he pieced the story together with what Liam told him last night about Savannah, Natalie, and Archer, then Paxton should just be an accomplice instead of the mastermind.

Given Paxton's current situation, it was impossible for the mastermind to not show up. At the very least, they had to do something. Right now, he was anticipating their arrival at the hospital.

James replied, "It's very quiet so far!"

Joseph took a look at the time. "Maybe they'll take action at midnight? Tell your men to be alert. Keep an eye on the situation!"

James promised to do so and hung up the phone. Joseph stood up and walked to the window. He saw Paige and Lamont arguing with each other beside the car.

He shook his head and turned around.

James' call came in again. "Mr. Dawson, someone from the hospital called to report that Paxton's sister was in the hospital."

"Really? When?"

"Half an hour ago, his sister went to the ward to visit him, but she was stopped by the guards. She left sulkily after she was unable to see him!"

Joseph frowned at his words. That didn't seem right. Since his sister had deliberately planned to meet him, she wouldn't just leave without seeing him, unless there was something else that she had to do at the hospital.

Other than seeing Paxton, what did she have to do?

Was she acting as a decoy? Did she serve as a distraction so that the actual plan could be carried out?

When he thought about it, he immediately asked, "Did anything else happen in Paxton's ward after she left?"

James replied, "A nurse went in to check on his IV drip, but other than that there was nothing."

"Check on his IV drip?" Joseph murmured.

Suddenly, a blurry thought came into his mind. "Natalie was poisoned from an IV drip. Could it be…"

He had a bad feeling about it. "That's not good. Inform the police at the hospital immediately. Something might have happened to Paxton!"
