Midnight Bride The CEO’s Temptation

Ted's heart was filled with bitterness, but it would be strange if Joshua could trust him when things got to this point.

"Joshua, you can think about it carefully, I have no reason to kill Hazel, whether she's pregnant with your baby or not," Ted said in an earnest tone. "Besides, I can assure you with my life that the doctors here aren't mine, and I didn't tell them to do anything!"

He didn't care about Hazel's life, but he must care about Joshua. He could see that if anything happened to Hazel, Joshua would completely go crazy.

"Joshua..." Hazel called his name with all her strength and nodded gently. If they left the hospital now, she and the baby would be even more dangerous, regardless of whether what Ted said was true or false.

Looking at Hazel's pale face, Joshua made a prompt decision, "Lead the way!"

Soon, Hazel was sent to the operating room. Joshua waited outside with a gloomy face.

Ted, who stood next to him, also had a gloomy face. Now, Hazel had more influence on Joshua than he had thought, whether he admitted it or not,

Joshua felt that every second was so long. After a long time, the doctor finally came out.

"How is she, doctor?" asked Joshua nervously.

"Don't worry, Sir. Although the pregnant woman had signs of miscarriage because of the timely treatment, her situation has been stable. She just needs to pay attention to miscarriage prevention after going home." The doctor took off his mask and said with relief, "Are you the husband of the pregnant woman?"

"Yes," Joshua replied in a deep tone.

"I must scold you. As a husband, don't you know that a pregnant woman needs to be in a good mood during pregnancy? The woman was stimulated this time, so she almost had a miscarriage," the doctor said disapprovingly. "Do you know how dangerous it was? You're lucky this time because the pregnant woman happened to be in the hospital. If she came a little later, the baby wouldn't have been safe!"

Joshua kept nodding, and out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Ted. Ted paled, but he didn't say anything.

Hazel was transferred to a normal ward and Joshua was about to follow her when Ted suddenly stopped him.

"Joshua," there was a pause before Ted said, "I don't think I did anything wrong today. With all those videos, how can I possibly believe Hazel is innocent? How can I possibly trust a woman like that to stay with you? Joshua, I really don't understand why you're obsessed with her."

Joshua looked at him coldly. If it weren't for Hazel being safe now, he wouldn't tolerate listening to Ted, who blamed Hazel for everything!

It was just that even though Ted was the reason why Hazel nearly had a miscarriage, he helped save the baby in the end.

After a moment of thinking, he said coldly, "Mr. King, let's make a bet."

Ted was a little surprised. "What is it?"

"In three days, if I can't prove Hazel's innocence," Joshua said lightly, "I'll break up with Hazel and be your obedient son and never disobey you again!"

"Good!" Ted's eyes lit up, and he said yes almost without hesitation.

"Don't worry, I haven't finished yet," Joshua continued. "If I can prove Hazel's innocence, please apologize to Hazel! Besides, I'll take my mother away. Please don't disturb our family again!"

"How can you make such an offer!" Ted looked at Joshua in shock and felt sadness in his heart.

Our family... so from the very beginning, Joshua had never considered him a family member. Apologizing to Hazel was enough to make him hesitate, but Joshua even wanted to take Stacy away? In that case, wouldn't he be alone?

"How? Mr. King, do you start to think that you're wrong and that you'll definitely lose?" A sarcastic smile played on Joshua's lips.

There was a hint of anger in Ted's eyes. He had no idea how Joshua was going to whitewash Hazel's misdeed in three days! How could he possibly lose?

"Fine! I'll bet!" Ted said in a deep tone. "But if you want to take Stacy away, don't even think about it!"

Joshua's eyes were cold. Whether Ted said yes or no, he would take Stacy away.

He was willing to bet Ted because he wanted Ted to make an apology to Hazel. He couldn't tolerate Ted's repeatedly slandering Hazel, and at least, if Ted didn't want to face reality, Joshua wanted to prove Ted was wrong all the time!

"See you in three days," said Joshua coldly. After that, he turned around and headed to Hazel's ward.

Looking at his figure, Ted felt bad.

Joshua completely fell out with him now. He didn't ask Ted to accept Hazel if she was innocent because both Joshua and Ted knew that Ted wouldn't accept Hazel staying with him, regardless of whether she was innocent or not.

Hence, Joshua didn't say this condition, which meant he didn't hesitate to choose Hazel instead of Ted, his father.

How could it be possible that Ted had never doubted those videos? But he had had Hazel's videos authenticated before and found out none of them were fake, so he didn't think Joshua could prove Hazel's innocence at all. With that in mind, Ted left the hospital.

***

Joshua entered the ward and found Hazel lying quietly in her hospital bed.

Sensing his arrival, she opened her eyes. "Joshua, our baby..."

"Don't worry, the baby is ok. He's good and strong," he whispered.

She was relieved and struggled hard to sit up.

He quickly helped her up and put two pillows behind her to make her more comfortable.

She felt her belly gently, feeling the life inside. A gentle smile played on her lips. "The baby is fine."

"Hazel, I'm sorry," he said guiltily as he hugged her. "I'm the one who made you suffer…."

"It wasn't your fault," she hurried to interrupt him. "I'm glad you made it in time. Joshua, you saved the baby and me! By the way, how did you get there so fast?"

For fear that the topic would be too dull, she began to change it.

Besides, she was also very curious. Even if she had texted him, Joshua arrived too soon. After all, he had gone to look for Mandy with Simon.
