Chapter 1348 - 636: Do You Expect Me To Believe You?
Ted looked slightly surprised. He had never seen Joshua's reaction like that. Joshua had been cold and distant to Ted before, but he had never been like that. Joshua's eyes were filled with rage and hatred, and his whole body emitted cold, bloodthirsty killing intent.
Ted, who had wanted to show his dignity as a father, also sensed something was wrong. He frowned. "What's going on?"
"Mr. King," Hazel said, holding back her anger as she looked at Ted, "whether the baby in my belly is Joshua's or not. Why did you tell your butler to give me an oxytocin injection to make me have a premature birth and even try to kill my baby and me?"
There was a flash of surprise in Ted's eyes.
He wanted to test if Hazel's baby was their King family's because he didn't want the King family's baby to have anything to do with a woman like her. If this weren't a child of the King family, Ted wouldn't do anything to Hazel even if he wanted to show Joshua what kind of person she really was!
In that case, how could he possibly kill Hazel and her baby? If he did, Joshua would definitely fall out with him. How could he possibly do that?
"Hazel Crowe, don't try to drive a wedge between Joshua and me!" Ted shouted in anger. Of course, he thought Hazel was just bullshitting.
"I drive a wedge?" Hazel said sarcastically with a sneer. "Your butler said that himself!"
"Master... I didn't... help me." The butler looked piteously at Ted and, denying it.
"Hazel, don't go too far!" Ted said in a deep tone. "Joshua, don't believe this woman's nonsense!"
"Oh? I heard him say it myself," said Joshua coldly.
"You actually confuse truth and falsehood to defend this woman?" Ted was furious.
Hazel looked at Ted coldly. The next moment, she took out her phone and pressed 'Play.'
Before questioning the butler, she quietly took out the phone to record in case he denied it. Ted might have been really capable when he was young, but now he was just a headstrong old fool!
Hazel's questions and the butler's answers sounded clearly throughout the room. The butler's face was white as a sheet, while Ted's face turned gloomy.
"Do you still want to say that we forced him to confess to false charges by torturing him?" Joshua gave a sneer, and his face was full of sarcasm. "Oh, right, Mr. King, you are brilliant. The people around you are all loyal to you. How can you possibly be fooled like a fool by a butler?"
Ted wanted to get angry, but Joshua's words were like ice water thrown at him.
It was clear to everyone around him that he didn't like Hazel, so he turned a blind eye to anyone trying to say something insulting to Hazel, but he had never expected that even the butler would dare to do such a thing behind his back!
He who was not muddleheaded thought clearly. Presumably, the butler had betrayed him and was in league with others!
"I'll take this man away," Joshua said coldly. "Mr. King, I have nothing to do with you after that! I'm going to want you to pay back for what Hazel has suffered today!"
In a flash, Ted's face turned a little pale. Joshua actually wanted to break up with him? He actually wanted to fall out with his father for a woman completely?
Every word Joshua uttered was like a hammer, hitting hard at Ted's heart. Ted could tell Joshua was not joking. Why did this matter go to this point?
"Hazel, let's go," Joshua whispered. He hugged Hazel and headed for the door.
Ted was flustered. He had a feeling that if he let Joshua go now, there would be no possibility of reconciliation between them.
"Joshua!" Ted stopped him. "I was disdainful to explain originally, but I didn't ask the butler to give Hazel an oxytocin injection. I just wanted to do a DNA test for her baby!"
Joshua's heart was cold. Despite what Ted said, in Joshua' opinion, Ted's attempt to force a DNA test on his baby without Hazel's consent was equally abhorrent!
Noticing that they didn't want to stay here, Ted gritted his teeth. "How on earth can you change your mind?"
Joshua did not seem to hear him. He had no intention of staying. Ted's heart was cold. It was the first time he had given in to others, but Joshua's resolution let him down.
Suddenly, Hazel's body went limp.
"Hazel, what's wrong with you?" asked Joshua nervously.
Hazel looked terribly pale. She bit her lips tightly, her hands consciously resting on her stomach.
"It hurts..." she whispered as her eyes were full of fear.
This sudden change made Joshua' face pale too. He picked up Hazel around the waist and comforted her in panic, "Don't be afraid! I'll take you to the doctor now! You'll be okay. You'll definitely be alright…."
"No..." Hazel grabbed his shirt tightly and shook her head.
She didn't like this hospital. What if the doctors here were all related to Ted? What if Ted did something else to her?
"Okay, I'll take you to leave here!" Being aware of what she was worried about, Joshua agreed in a deep tone. The next moment, he shouted to his bodyguards, "Hurry to drive!"
"Joshua, wait!" Ted hurried to stop him.
"Get lost!" Joshua's eyes were both bloody as he saw Ted, who wanted to make trouble at such a time. "Ted King, I don't care if you're my father. If anything happens to Hazel, I'll kill you!"
Ted was dumbstruck. He had never seen Joshua like this. Even though Joshua had hated him before, he had never been as mad as a wounded beast. It seemed that no matter who stood in his way, he would tear them to pieces!
Taking a deep breath, Ted calmed himself down.
He said with a grave face, "Joshua, calm down! With Hazel's situation, she won't make it to another hospital! There are doctors here, too. It'll be the right choice to hand her to the doctors here…."
"Do you expect me to believe you?" Joshua interrupted him in a cold voice.
