Chapter 1160 - 448: He Didn’t Want To Ruin The Happiness

Forget it. Forget it. Hazel sighed, helpless. Now that he said so, she had to figure out another way.

After Hazel and Joshua left without hesitation, Katherine had no choice but to return to the nursing home, only to find Grandpa Sloane looked as if he had been confronted by a formidable enemy and tried to transfer Stacy to another hospital.

"Uncle Sloane!" Katherine was worried. "What are you doing? Why do you transfer Stacy?"

"If I don't transfer her, aren't we waiting for that man to find us?" Grandpa Sloane paled. "Since his son can find her, isn't it easier for him to find her?"

"Uncle Sloane, you misunderstood!" Katherine explained helplessly, "Joshua Denmark may be that person's child, but it could also be Stacy's!"

"What?!" Sloane looked at her in shock. His hands trembled. "Stacy's child... How could... That kid clearly died in that accident..."

"Stacy could survive, why couldn't the child be saved?" Katherine said gravely, "I've investigated. Joshua used to be an orphan, and his age is the same as that kid, so it's possible he is Stacy's kid!"

Grandpa Sloane recalled Joshua's looks. At first glance, Joshua did look like that man, but on closer inspection, his face was somewhat similar to that of Stacy.

"Is he really..." Grandpa Sloane's fingers trembled slightly as he looked incredulously at Katherine. "Do you have any proof?"

"I've done a DNA test of them, and the results will come out tonight," Katherine said.

"He said his name was Joshua?" There was a loving light in his eyes. "Why does the name sound so familiar?"

"He's the President of Denmark Group, and you've praised him a few times," Katherine said.

"Is it really him?" He had a little more happiness in his eyes. "I've heard about him, and he's a perfect kid. He values sentiment and shares the same personality with Stacy… Unfortunately, I had several opportunities to meet with him, but I missed all of them... By the way, do you remember, he said he was married?"

"I don't know, but he did propose." Katherine was a little embarrassed. Her only consolation was Grandpa Sloane's attitude toward Joshua. She had thought he would reject Joshua because he was that person's child.

She felt relieved and then told Grandpa Sloane about his proposal for Hazel's graduation ceremony and what had happened between them.

Sloane looked more relieved. He had no idea that his grandson was still alive and lived a very happy life.

Joshua was very happy... Suddenly, Grandpa Sloane's face changed slightly. He looked at Stacy on her bed, who was lifeless again.

Something seemed to have occurred to him, and his excited face grew very grave. "Katherine, this is the end of it! Whether he's her child or not, stop here!"

"Why? The results will come out very quickly..." Katherine looked at him in astonishment. Grandpa Sloane's sudden change of attitude left her confused!

Didn't he like Joshua? Why did he reject him so quickly?

"I said 'stop here'!" Grandpa Sloane paled. "Katherine, I want you to do this because you've done so much for my Sloane family. If you don't agree, I'll have to take Stacy away and put her in a place where none of you can find her."

Katherine was very helpless. She was well aware of his temper. The older he got, the more stubborn he was. If she kept it up, then he might really hide Stacy.

"Alright, I will…." In the end, she had no choice but to say yes.

***

Back in the Denmark Residence, Hazel kept trying to talk with Joshua, but he directly asked her to go to her parents. She couldn't ignore her parents' dedication to the dinner party, so she had to help first.

Joshua went straight into the study.

He turned on his phone and called Jaxson. "Jaxson, check Katherine's whereabouts these two days for me."

Soon Jaxson sent her whereabouts to Joshua's mailbox.

Joshua opened the mail with deep eyes. Sure enough, Katherine went to the hospital yesterday.

Taking down the hospital's name, his eyes darkened, his fingers budged, and he began hacking into the hospital system.

Finally, his eyes fell on the DNA report. His thin lips tightened slightly as he read the final report results.

Light flashing in his eyes, he quietly shut down the computer. At the same time, he closed a window in a corner that he didn't care about.

The results were completely unimportant to him now. The only person he cared about right now was Hazel. He and Hazel would be happy. He didn't want to ruin the happiness.

After a long busy day, Hazel stretched herself and went back to the bedroom. However, the bedroom was empty as Joshua was not in it.

She furrowed her brows slightly. Then she pushed open the door of the study, but she found he wasn't in there, either.

On second thought, she took out the phone and called Katherine.

"Aunt Katherine, I want to know the results of the report," Hazel asked nervously, biting her lip.

Now she might be able to help Joshua find his family. But… that might also be a hollow hope. How could she not care?

"Ah? Oh…" on the other end of the line, Katherine didn't know what to say. The hospital called and asked her to get the report after Grandpa Sloane made his position clear.

But now, how could she possibly get the report? She couldn't back out on a promise. So, she didn't know the results at all.

Nonetheless, she couldn't tell Hazel the truth. If she told her, Hazel would definitely go to the hospital on her own.

Taking a deep breath. Katherine planned to lie.

Since the Sloane family didn't want to have anything to do with Joshua anymore, she had to tell a lie.

"The results come out..." Katherine clenched her fingers hesitantly before she took a deep breath and said, "Sorry, it's I who made a mistake…."

Hazel's mind went blank. After a long time, she came to her senses and said in disbelief, "Aunt Katherine, do you mean…Joshua and Stacy have nothing to do with each other?"

"... I'm sorry, Hazel," Katherine said apologetically.

She didn't answer Hazel's question directly, but to Hazel, her "sorry" affirmed what she had said.

Was it actually... a flash in the pan? Hazel felt very depressed.

She hung up unhappily. When she looked back, she found Joshua standing behind her.
