Chapter 223


    Chapter 223 She Doesn’t Donate Blood


    Anaya did not notice Hearst’s strange behavior. She held the half-drunk ss in her hand and looked


    up at Hearst. “I remember that the truck driver was locked up in prison. How did you get his


    recording?”


    Hearst exined it briefly, “I pulled some strings.”

    “So that recording is real?”


    “Yes.”


    Anaya clicked her tongue.


    She never thought that Lexie would be the one who caused the car ident.


    That time, Joshua was seriously injured. If the injury was more serious, he would probably lose his


    life.


    Lexie always said she loved Joshua, but in the end, she was just a treacherous viin who would do


    anything to achieve her goal.


    Her so-called love was probably even less valuable than rotten fruits.


    “It’s really a pity. Joshua is a brainless person who refuses to believe the truth. Otherwise, I might be


    able to watch Joshua get ugly with Lexie.”


    Hearst lightly shook the drink in his hand, and his eyes darkened. “Do you want to watch the


    show?”


    “Yes.”


    “If you are avable, I can take you there now.”


    “How did you know that they would get ugly?” Anaya asked doubtfully.


    “Because…” Hearst revealed a faint smile, and there was a hint of amusement in his tone. “I even sent


    a gift to Mrs. Maltz.”


    “Did you send the recording to Mrs. Maltz?” Anaya guessed.


    Cecilia was different from Joshua. Joshua firmly believed in Lexie, but his mother Cecilia was not.


    For the past few months, Cecilia had been looking for the murderer who had harmed her son.


    Now that there was a clue, regardless of whether it was true or false, Lexie would probably have big


    trouble.


    “Yes.”


    Hearst finished the drink and threw the empty bottle into the trash can sixteen feet away.


    The bottle drew a beautiful arc in the air and was finally flung into the trash can. Hearst retracted his


    gaze and looked at Anaya again. “So, are you willing to go?”


    “I won’t go,” Anaya replied without any hesitation. “The business of the Maltz family, whether it is good


    or bad, has nothing to do with me. Instead of wasting time, I might as well spend more time with the


    people I care about.”


    Hearst stared at her from top to bottom and said, “You mean the situation in which you are, right?”


    Anaya understood Hearst’s meaning. She put down the ss and picked up Sammo. “For example,


    keep my dogpany.”


    Hearstughed but did not force her to answer. He chatted with her for a while and let her


    go


    In a private hospital.


    After Joshua was sent to the hospital, the orthopedics experts rushed over and gave him treatment.


    After confirming that his arm could move slightly, Joshua went to the ward where Lexie was.


    Lexie came earlier than him, and she was already on a drip.


    As soon as she saw Joshua enter, Lexie’s eyes immediately welled up with tears.


    “Joshua, you’re here…”


    Joshua nodded and sat down next to the bed. “What did the doctor say after the examination?”


    “There was some internal bleeding, but it’s not very serious. I need to stay in the hospital for a few


    days.”


    Joshua nodded to show that he knew it.


    home.


    “Joshua, what did you say to Anaya when you stayed with her?” Lexie observed his expression and


    tightened her grip on the nket.


    Hearing her probing question, Joshua frowned and carefully examined her.


    Although he had said that hepletely trusted Lexie in the warehouse, he still had a trace of doubt


    in his heart.


    After all, Lexie had lied to him thest time.


    Although she promised him that she would not do it again, verbal promises were always unreliable. He


    was a little hesitant about whether to believe her or not.


    wo


    “Anaya said that you were the one who nned the car identst time.”


    Lexie’s heart suddenly shrank, and her eyes also shed.


    But soon, she calmed down.


    Joshua directly told her about it, which meant that he should not believe it.


    She could not be flustered.


    Lexie’s eyes seemed to be even redder as if she had been greatly wronged. “Joshua, I have loved you


    since I was a middle school girl. How could I bear to hurt you?


    “I am your girlfriend. You have given me everything I want. What reason do I have to hurt you?


    “Anaya was very good in the past. It seems that I am really too annoying, which is why Anaya is so


    against me…”


    As Lexie said this, her tears fell down.


    Thest thing Joshua wanted to see was her crying. Seeing her tears, he didn’t bear to say harsh


    words to Lexie.


    Joshua sat on the edge of the bed and avoided the infusion tube, gently pulling Lexie into his arms.


    “Don’t cry. It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have doubted you.”


    Lexie nestled in his arms, shook her head, and said in a muffled voice, “I don’t me you. I did


    something wrong in the past. You don’t dare trust mepletely.”


    Joshua felt sorry when he heard that she had taken all the me.


    Joshua thought that Lexie always seemed to be too sensible.


    However, he began to doubt her because of a recording that Hearst and Anaya had forged.


    “It’s all Anaya’s fault. If she hadn’t asked Hearst to make a fake recording to fool me, I wouldn’t have


    been in a panic.


    “Anaya and Hearst hurt you like this today. When I find an opportunity, I will definitely take revenge!”


    Lexie was very moved. She raised her head and kissed his chin. Her smile was sweet. “Joshua, thank


    you.”


    Joshua was stunned by her kiss.


    When they were dating in university, they had already kissed each other.


    But now that Lexie had kissed him, Joshua felt a little awkward.


    There seemed to be something different from before.


    “You are my girlfriend. Protecting you is my responsibility. You don’t have to thank me.


    “I let you down just now. Don’t worry. No matter what others say, I won’t easily believe them.” Just as


    Joshua finished speaking, the door to the ward was pushed open from the outside with a


    “bang”.


    “Mom?” Joshua looked at the door.


    Cecilia’s face was full of anger. She ignored Joshua’s voice and walked to the bed. She pulled Lexie


    out of Joshua’s arms and pped her!


    Lexie was stunned and could not react at all to what had happened.


    Today, Lexie had been beaten several times in a row. Before her old injury recovered, there were new


    injuries. At this moment, her face was burning with pain, as if there was a fire burning.


    Joshua was also stunned for a few seconds before he pushed Cecilia away and shielded Lexie behind


    him.


    “Mom! What are you doing? Didn’t you see that Lexie is injured? How can you do that?”


    Cecilia was pulled away by Joshua. She staggered a few steps and barely managed to regain her


    footing.


    Seeing that her son protected Lexie, Cecilia flew into a rage.


    “I came here today to kill this murderer. Who cares if she is injured or not!”


    Joshua thought that Cecilia was talking about Hank. “Mom, Hank was not killed by Lexie. Don’t be


    fooled by Anaya…”


    Cecilia was hysterical. “Hank? She hired someone to crash your car and wanted to force you to agree


    to get married! If the driver was a little faster that day, you would have died!


    “She caused you to be like that. What’s the difference if she isn’t a murderer?”


    but


    Joshua frowned. “How could Lexie do such a thing? She was kind enough to donate blood to me, you


    said that she had other ns. It’s too ridiculous…”


    “Idiot! She lied to you from the very beginning! She wasn’t the one who offered you the blood. How


    could she be so kind to you?” Cecilia cursed, showing nodylike manner.
