Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

Joshua looked at her, and a flash of concern appeared in his eyes, "That is the reason I have not told you before."

Although the kidnapping had been so many years ago, Joshua would not risk Hazel\'s safety. The Crowe Family was so good to her; the fact that she was not their natural daughter must have made her very sad.

Hazel was so confused.

"Hazel," Joshua held her and said to her gently, "I will attend to these things. Don\'t worry. Let me take you to Denmark Residence first. I will get back to dealing with this after the issue regarding Vanessa is finished. "

This time Hazel did not struggle to move from his chest, which always gave her a sense of security. However, was it appropriate to leave all these things that were related to her for Joshua to deal with?

Joshua\'s phone rang when she was about to say something.

He looked at the calling number and was about to answer. Then he noticed that Hazel was watching him with an appealing expression.

"Can I also hear the phone call?" she asked.

Joshua nodded and put it on speakerphone.

He knew that Hazel had no sense of security. It was better to let her know what had happened rather than leave her guessing.

The phone call was from Isaac. He said anxiously, "Joshua, I have done as you said and went to the hospital to keep an eye on Vanessa. However, I was too late. Someone else had taken her away."

Hazel felt mortified when she heard what Isaac said.

It was because Joshua went out to find her that Vanessa had the chance to run away.

If Joshua had been right, Vanessa would have aborted the baby as soon as possible. By then, she and Joshua would be both unable to prove their innocence.

"Sorry, it is because of me." Hazel apologized.

On the other side, Isaac heard Hazel\'s voice and said to her before Joshua comforted her.

He was surprised, "Hazel, it is good that Joshua has found you. You have nothing to do with this thing. Don\'t blame yourself for that. Vanessa was prepared. Many people came to the hospital to take her away, Joshua may not have been able to stop her. I will go to search for her right now."

"There is no need to do so," Joshua said.

"Why?" Isaac was stunned. Hazel also could not understand.

"I was prepared for this, I have put a tracker on her, and we can accurately locate where she is," Joshua explained.

"You expected that? Good." Isaac sighed a relief. But he said, "Joshua, don\'t you feel strange. We are clear about how capable the Young Family is, how could they have so many people to help them take Vanessa away?"

"Obviously, someone was helping her." Joshua said seriously, "Think about it. Who was able to access your car so you would have problems and create conflict between us? You should think of who he is. Isaac, there are things you have to face so you can escape from them."

Isaac was silent for a while and replied, "I see. I will keep an eye on him and leave him with no chance for further involvement."

After he hung up the phone, Hazel suspected, "If the man who has helped Vanessa has something to do with Isaac. Then he must be of Anderson Family. Sam Anderson?"

Isaac also told Hazel that the men who assaulted her yesterday actually targeted him with the purpose of creating misunderstanding between Zach and Joshua.

Sam Anderson was also the first man she could think of, she knew very few people in the Anderson Family, but she had a bad impression of him.

"Yeah." Joshua nodded. "He had planned to draw me over to his side, but I declined. Therefore, he intended to create conflict between Isaac and me. Meanwhile, he took advantage of Vanessa to destroy my reputation and fight against Denmark Group."

"Why would Vanessa cooperate with that kind of person.?" Hazel frowned. "Sam Anderson must be a greedy and vicious man. When things were done, he would not care about Vanessa anymore."

Joshua nodded his head in agreement, "When she asked him for help was like asking a tiger for its skin."

"What do you plan to do next? Keep looking for her?" Hazel asked.

"There is no need," Joshua replied. "I\'ve already got what I want. Vanessa will "give" me a person to help her."

Hazel nodded her head. She knew that Joshua must have his own means. She was not interested in this matter, but if she did not have something else in her mind, she would have to think about her own family background.

"Hazel, wait for me for a moment." Joshua suddenly said to her.

He opened the door and got out.

Hazel was confused.

When she took out the photo, the driver knew how to behave and drove the car to a nearby alley. He got out then and kept watch for them.

Therefore, he did not hear about what Hazel and Joshua had talked about.

The driver came to Joshua as he got out.

Joshua talked with the driver for a while, and he returned to the car.

"What was he doing?" Hazel asked the driver.

"Sorry, Miss Hazel. Mr. President did not tell me. He just told me to protect you," the driver replied.

Hazel did not keep asking.

Joshua came back soon and instructed the driver to drive immediately.

"Joshua, I want to go home." Hazel was tired.

Joshua held an ointment in his hand and was about to unscrew it. He stopped the action as he heard what Hazel said.

"Hazel, you are not safe now. I would take you home if I solved the issue regarding Vanessa." He said gently.

"I want to go home now." She replied in a choked voice.

The truth about her family background was really scaring her. With her mother and father with her, she would feel more at ease.

Joshua sighed, "What do you plan to do after going home?"

Hazel did not know what to say, she had never thought about that.

Was she going to cry in her parents\' arms? Or was she going to tell them that she was not their natural daughter?

If she did so, how sad would her parents be?

She hadn\'t figured out what to do, she couldn\'t be back now. Her parents would just worry about her then. More importantly, Joshua told her that she was not safe now, she would also put her parents in a dangerous situation if she went home now.

She suddenly felt cold on her fingers. She looked down and saw that Joshua applied the ointment to the swollen fingers.

"What\'s that?" She asked.

"Ointment to alleviate the swelling."

Hazel did not say anything and let him continue.

They did not return to Denmark Residence but went to the hospital.

"What are we doing here?" Hazel was confused.
