“You’re not the same as legend says.” As he talked, Jackson took out a series of instruments to test her heart rate and wounds.
“What legend?” Joyce asked. “Well, from what we saw on the news, the heiress of Powell Corporation is pampered, arrogant, and has a temper.
Tristan once said that you’re quite the stubborn and capricious character…” This doctor was really direct. Joyce was a little stunned.
If Tristan could say this to him, it meant that they had a close relationship. She did not want to continue this discussion and changed the topic.
“Doctor, how is Nathaniel, the guy who left with me?” The doctor paused for a moment, “He’s fine. He can eat and sleep just fine.
He finally knows his place after getting beaten up by Tristan.” Joyce was taken aback. “Why did Tristan beat him up?” “You don’t know that he’s Tristan’s nephew? The Beckett family didn’t like that he’s an explorer and cut off his allowance because of this, but he somehow found the resources by himself and ran off to that island alone.
The Beckett family didn’t even know where he went, and he’s been reported missing for three months! If not for saving you this time, he’s probably still unaccounted for…”
Joyce was stunned.
Her mind suddenly flashed back to her semi-conscious state when Nathaniel yelled “Uncle Tristan”.
That meant Nathaniel, whom she met by accident, was really Tristan’s nephew.
What a small world! a Joyce thought of something and asked, Are those people earlier soldiers? Were there any casualties when they fought off the pirates?” If there were, she would feel extremely guilty.
The doctor bowed his head to redress her wound and gave her another injection. He laughed when he heard this. “No casualties on our side, but the pirates did have some.
You’re the one who caused them too. Those people out there, including myself, are Tristan’s army buddies from the same brigade back then.
The sea surrounding the island you landed on is pirate’s territory, so governments won’t send troops over. Tristan only managed to bring us over this time because he went to beg our admiral.
This time, we’re not helping as official soldiers, but on our own accord so that it wouldn’t cause any political conflict.” Joyce’s chest felt a little heavy like she had been struck by a hammer.
The doctor’s words made her feel like she owed Tristan more than ever. “Thank you, guys. If you hadn’t been able to come, I might not have survived…’ The doctor shook his head and gave her a meaningful look……
“If you want to thank someone, you should thank him. We know that you’re both divorced, but everyone’s still willing to come with him because he said that you’re his life.” 3 They could not just stand by and watch Tristan lose his life………
Joyce was slightly stunned. Her heart shook and her eyes instantly became sore.
She quickly lowered her head to hide her emotions.
‘Tristan…’ Joyce knew very well that if it was not for Tristan Beckett, she would never have had a chance to survive.
However, how was she supposed to repay him for saving her life? The doctor quietly left, and the room fell silent again.
Joyce’s chest felt heavy, like a boulder pressing down on her, making it hard to breathe.
At this time, Kai quietly slipped in and sighed with relief when he saw no one else there.
“If it wasn’t for the fact that they saved you, I wouldn’t have put up with those fools! These past few days have been so suffocating!” Kai complained.
Joyce laughed and asked, “How are dad, G, and Mav?” Kai went over and stroked her hair.
“Mav’s right here on the deck. If it weren’t for him, I would still be roaming around where your plane crashed, literally searching for a needle in a haystack.
I guess having a high IQ has its advantages…” Joyce could not help but burst out in laughter.
She felt very relieved. Deep down, she knew that the only one who could find her would be her second brother.
He was indeed the Great God Maverick! “G’s fine. Dad’s in the hospital, but he’s recovering.”
Joyce instantly turned anxious. “Is everything okay?” “How can everything be okay? In the few days after your plane crash, we couldn’t even find a body or anything.
In a moment of distress, Dad even wanted to donate all our family fortune!” Joyce raised her eyes to look at Kai in shock and cautiously asked, “Tell me our family isn’t broke, right?” ‘Oh no… Will I still be able to splurge on things?’ Joyce wondered. Kai patted her shoulder and sighed heavily.
“Don’t worry, I stopped that from happening. I won’t let you be a broke *ss!” Joyce let out a sigh of relief. “That’s good! She looked down and saw that her clothes had been changed.
She felt clean and did not feel as wretched as she did back on the island.
With Kai and Maverick around, Joyce did not have to worry about anything.
“Why is Tristan Beckett here?” It was unexpected that he would come to her rescue. At the mention of this name, Kai had nothing good to say.
“Cuz he’s thick-skinned!” Maverick pushed the door in at this moment.
When he heard Kai’s words, he frowned slightly and chided.
“K, how many times have I told you to look at the facts!” Tigger happily jumped onto Joyce’s bed, The clean and cute little tiger whirled around in front of her.
Joyce stroked its soft little head and stretched out her hand at Maverick.
She smiled with squinted eyes. “Mav, I knew you’d come to save me!” Afraid of ripping her wounds, Maverick hugged Joyce gently, then glanced at Kai.
“We have no other way to approach this sea, so Grant went to Tristan for help. Tristan’s been with Kai searching everywhere for you since the plane accident. He spent just as many resources as we did.
The risk he took to go to the island is huge as well. Objectively speaking, Grant and I never expected Tristan to be able to do this.” Joyce’s smile froze on her face.
Her heart seemed to be electrocuted with a slight tingling sensation. The gloominess in her eyes became more obvious.
She would have been ecstatic to hear this if this was before their divorce, but now… She could no longer afford any favors from him.
Kai was dissatisfied with Maverick’s attitude and snorted.
“Hmph! If he hadn’t given Lil N that stupid invitation, she wouldn’t even need to suffer all this in the first place! He’s the perpetrator, so it’s only right for him to help!” Maverick frowned helplessly.
“You should look at this objectively.
The plane malfunctioning isn’t his responsibility.” “Even so, he’s still to blame for this! Anyway, I don’t appreciate whatever he does.
Lil N, just ignores him. Mav’s brain must be muddled. How can he side with Tristan Beckett?!” Kai walked over and held Joyce’s hand.
He stroked her hair lovingly and did not want to pay attention to Maverick.
Joyce hooked up the corners of her lips.” You guys should stop arguing. Both of you have very valid points.”
The corner of Kai’s lips twitched. He snorted slightly and said reluctantly,” Whatever, peacemaker!”
The warm sunshine was pleasant, and the sea breeze was blowing the waves in one direction.
Everything at this moment felt perfect.
Joyce and her two brothers were talking when someone suddenly knocked on the door.
Seeing that someone else came, Maverick excused himself to go back to his room to study his physics equations.
Kai did not want to leave Joyce’s side.
He raised his chin slightly at the person at the door.
“What are you doing here?” Nathaniel Beckett had a fair complexion and prominent features.
He could hardly hide his charm.
