Tristan’s eyes sank and his face was stormy as he yelled, “Joyce! What are you doing?!”
The man’s voice was cold.
‘He showed up fast enough. Was he so afraid that I’d hurt Selena?’ Joyce thought.
Selena pouted and looked panicked. Her eyes suddenly brimmed with tears as she covered her cheek and looked behind Joyce. She argued in a loud voice, “I didn’t do anything, Joyce. You misunderstood me.”
‘Is Joyce crazy? How dare she hit me in front of Tristan?’
Joyce sneered. “Stop your act. I know it’s you.”
With a seeping cold gaze, Joyce walked to Selena and took out the printed picture of Tristan from her bag, then flung it in front of them.
Tristan looked at the photo and had a moment of shock and confusion. Selena’s face also instantly turned glum and pale.
He had a long day yesterday, so when he visited Selena at the hospital, he dozed off for a while. It was apparent that this photo was secretly taken at that time.
The only other person in that room then was Selena Price.
Thus, Tristan knew who had taken this photo. Selena wanted to use this photo to make Joyce mad, but she did not expect to shoot herself in the foot.
How could Selena still maintain her image of a pitiful meek woman?
In the past, Joyce would still care about Tristan and put up with Selena, but now, there was no need for that anymore.
Joyce smiled indifferently, and her voice was surprisingly cold. “I told you that I’m here to settle accounts. This is what you owe me. Selena Price, you’re the homewrecker in this situation. Are you satisfied now? I wish you all the best in replacing me as Mrs. Beckett.”
Without much thought, Tristan could guess how Joyce got this photo. He suddenly felt a little suffocated. His expression was cold and complex.
Tristan’s face was still as cold as ever when he looked at Selena’s sickly pale face with a stern gaze.
Selena’s heart trembled. She quickly defended herself. “Tristan, Joyce must have misunderstood something. I didn’t do anything or take this picture. She probably found someone to take this so that she could frame me!”
Tristan frowned for a moment as Selena sobbed pitifully and tugged on his sleeve. She said cautiously, “Tristan, I can apologize to Joyce. If giving me blood affects your relationship, I won’t ask Joyce for blood in the future. I swear by Hendrick’s name that I don’t know anything about the photo!”
Hearing the name “Hendrick”, Tristan’s eyes flickered as he thought of his best friend’s dying wish. The gloom on Tristan’s face dissipated a little. “Joyce was too agitated earlier and shouldn’t have hit you. Do you need a doctor to check it out?”
Selena was still covering her cheek that felt numb from Joyce’s slap and shook her head. “It’s okay.”
Tristan nodded and looked at Joyce, who was standing on the side. The corners of her lips curled up mockingly and she had a cold and indifferent look on her face. Seeing her like this, Tristan inexplicably felt a strange emotion in his heart.
“You wanted a divorce because of this? Never mind, get your blood drawn first.” Tristan wanted to clear up the misunderstanding, but it was not an appropriate environment.
An insignificant photo meant nothing compared to Selena’s health. Tristan planned to explain the photo to Joyce afterward as there were still outsiders in the ward.
Selena felt relieved and knew that she got away with it. ‘Tristan still chose me. Joyce lost again!’
Joyce had long guessed this outcome. Selena was good at acting and Joyce was not bothered to expose her. She no longer wanted to be involved with them. Joyce looked at the doctor on the side and asked in a calm voice, “Are you sure she needs a blood transfusion?”
The doctor froze for a moment. When he received Selena’s glare, he nodded in panic under Tristan’s watchful gaze. “Yes, Ms. Price fell just now, which caused serious blood loss in her legs, so she needs a blood transfusion.”
“Then what are you waiting for?” Tristan ordered in a cold voice.
“Yes, sir.” The doctor quickly went to make preparations.
Selena gave Joyce a smug smile from an angle that no one else could see.
“Wait.”
Joyce did not leave with the doctor obediently. Instead, she went forward and lifted Selena’s quilt in a domineering and swift motion.
