Stanley held his shoulder, which was hurting from the bump against the wall, and stared at Shane with
a darkened expression. After a while, he turned around and left.
After Stanley was gone, Shane looked at Justin, who was sitting on the bed, and asked, “Are you
okay?”
“Thanks for your help, Mr. Thompson. I'm fine. He hasn't done anything to me yet.” Justin massaged
his temples and smiled gratefully.
Shane merely nodded and hummed in acknowledgment without asking any further.
However, Justin suddenly spoke. “Mr. Thompson, where are Joyce and her family now?”
“I can't tell you,” Shane answered directly.
When Justin heard that, a crease appeared between his brows. “Can you share her contact details with
me then? I'm very worried about her and her parents.”
The family had left in a rush, and Justin did not even get a chance to say goodbye. He had completely
lost touch with them as they had changed their contact details.
He had no news about Joyce and her family at all and was feeling extremely lost and helpless.
“Sorry, I can't.” Shane had his hands in his pocket as he replied coldly, “At least not now. You haveseen it too. Shane is no different from a madman right now. He would do anything just to find Joyce
and her family. So, it will be better with fewer people knowing their whereabouts. That way, even if
Stanley continues looking for them, it would take him a long while before he actually finds them. When
that day comes, it is likely that the Rivers family would no longer fear Stanley. I'm sure they would
contact you by then.”
After listening to what Shane said, Justin let out a helpless sigh before replying, “I understand. I just
can't stop worrying about them.”
“Don't worry. They will be fine under my protection. Besides, Joyce's parents are very happy with their
current living environment. It is also a suitable place for Joyce to rest and take care of her baby,” Shane
said.
Justin felt a sense of relief and nodded. “That's great to know. I'm glad that Joyce is safe and doing
well. That's all that matters.”
The man had come to terms with the situation and was no longer anxious to know where Joyce and her
family were. All he needed was to know that they were all right.
He could wait and look for the woman after things with Stanley were settled and Joyce and her family
were no longer in danger.
Shane glanced at Justin thoughtfully for a moment. Without saying anything, he turned around and left.
Jackson followed behind him and asked, “Shane, I'm not sure if I've seen it wrongly.”
“What is it?” Shane carried on walking with both hands in his pocket. “I have a feeling that Stanley likes Joyce,” Jackson replied.
“Huh?” Shane suddenly halted in his tracks and asked, “You're saying that he has feelings for Joyce?”
Jackson nodded and replied, “Yup. I'm pretty sure. When he heard her name, there was a faint trace of
affection in his eyes even though he bore grudges toward her. However, it wasn't obvious. I guess he
might not even be aware of it himself.”
“Are you sure it wasn't just your imagination?” Shane looked at his friend.
Jackson shook his head and replied, “I'm sure that was what I saw. After all, I'm a sucker for love too.”
The doctor let out a bitter laugh before continuing, “Perhaps because of that, I'm extra sensitive when it
comes to matters of the heart. I am always able to read people's emotions, even if only a small hint of it
is present. It was the case for Stanley earlier. There was jealousy in his eyes when he looked at Justin.
Given that they didn't have any sort of relationship or bad blood between them, the only explanation for
the jealousy would be the fact that Justin had dated Joyce.”
This chapter upload first at NovelEbook.OrgWhat Jackson meant was clear. Since Stanley was jealous of Justin, he must be fond of Joyce as well.
A sneer appeared on Shane's face. “No wonder Stanley kept saying that he hated Joyce but also
insisted on keeping Joyce and the Rivers family around. So that's the reason.”
Shane had been trying to figure out why Stanley had kept the Rivers family alive when he could have
easily killed them. He wondered if it was because, deep down inside his heart, Stanley knew that the
Rivers family was his benefactor.
