"Joshua…" She called his name with somewhat impatience.
We can't let Simon go. She felt that something would happen if they let him go. It was very strange; she seemed to be on the verge of figuring out something important, but now she still could not figure it out.
"Hazel, what are you thinking about?" Even on such a tense occasion, Simon was rarely amused by her. He couldn't help speaking, "You actually expect Joshua to risk your life just to keep me? Joshua, will you do that?"
"What do you think?" Joshua spoke coldly.
The people around Simon were scattering, which was his answer.
"That's right!" Simon chuckled, but his face was alert. "If it were me today, I would do the same."
Hazel sighed helplessly. She looked at Joshua, who looked gloomy, and knew she had mistakenly taken it for granted.
Joshua had said her safety was the most important. He didn't say it explicitly, but Hazel knew he cared more about her than Simon. Even if he had lost his memory, nothing or anyone could be more important than her.
Even if she wanted to, he could not agree.
"Hazel, don't look so sorry. I've given up on you… or you'll..." Simon tutted and then whispered in her ear, "make me regret it."
Subconsciously, she stepped aside to get away from him.
"Don't move!" Simon held back his disappointment. "You're my hostage now."
Joshua looked pale. Simon kept close to Hazel. Joshua knew that it was not only because Simon was really trying to tease Hazel but also because Simon wanted Joshua's subordinates to be too worried about Hazel's safety to attack him.
Soon, as Simon requested, Joshua's men all retreated and stood far away from Simon, and all the cars were driven away. The only person closest to Simon now was Joshua.
The man with a scar who came for Simon was also released. He was now sitting in Simon's car and in the driver's seat.
"Master Joshua, get in the car!" The man with the scar had already opened the back door and urged hastily, "Take her with you, and we'll be safe."
Simon ignored his words. Looking at Joshua, who was the nearest to him, his eyes flashed with a complex light. Suddenly, he pushed Hazel suddenly!
"Catch!" Simon raised his voice to remind.
Hazel screamed subconsciously, but the next moment, she was in Joshua' arms.
Taking advantage of this moment, Simon quickly got into the car and closed the door.
"Go!" Simon said in a cold voice.
A look of reluctance flashed across the man with a scar. Then he quickly stepped on the accelerator.
Several cars rushed out to stop them. Simon yelled in a cold tone. "Hit them!"
There was a hint of cruelty in the man's face. He stepped on the gas and hit the cars without hesitation!
Two of the cars were hit and pushed away by the speeding car, which then rushed out of the blockade.
Hazel furrowed her eyebrows as the car disappeared.
Seeing the few cars crashed into each other, Jaxson hurried to come forward to see if anyone had been hurt.
Joshua and Hazel arrived, too. Hearing that no one was injured, they were both relieved.
After dealing with the chaos, Joshua took Hazel back to the break room.
Joshua asked a waiter for a medicine kit. He grabbed her wrist and looked at the red marks Simon had made on it. There was a flash of anger in his eyes. He applied the swelling ointment to her wrist and rubbed it gently.
The coldness of the ointment on her wrist made her feel better.
"Don't worry, Joshua. I'll be fine. These are just minor injuries," she said quickly for fear that he might be afraid.
"How could you still defend him?" He looked up, his words full of sour jealousy.
"..." She was speechless. She had forgotten that Joshua was insanely jealous!
Suddenly she stared at his face. She raised her fingers and traced them across his face.
Her fingertips gave him a touch of numbness. "Hazel, stop that now, let's do that tonight."
This kind of behavior which was nearly teased, made him completely unable to control the s.e.x.u.a.l fire in his heart. When he faced Hazel, his resistance was always negative.
Her cheeks flushed. She withdrew her fingers shyly. "I didn't mean that. I just thought you didn't look that much like Simon either... No, in fact, you look quite similar..."
"Did you see his face?" he asked jealously. So Hazel c.a.r.e.s.sed his face just now because of Simon? Why did he feel so unhappy?
She looked up at his sad eyes. She didn't know whether to cry or laugh. She just saw Simon's face by accident. Was Joshua also jealous because of it?
"I saw it by accident," she explained. "I was just a little curious. I feel like you look like biological brothers… wait!"
Her face changed as if she thought of something!
"What?" he asked in surprise. Weren't he and Simon brothers who had the same father, to begin with?
"Do, do you have a picture of your mom?" she asked, shocked. "Oh right, and a picture of Simon's mother! Joshua, can you find their pictures quickly!"
A thought suddenly came into her mind. She knew at long last why she had felt it strange and understood something when she had seen Simon's face.
But how absurd her thought was! Even at that moment, she thought she might be mad as she had such a ridiculous idea! Besides, she didn't have any proof at all!
Joshua looked a little grave. Although he had no idea what Hazel was up to, he did what she told him to do and had their photos sent straight to his phone.
Holding her phone, Hazel looked at their photos and slumped on the couch, dazed.
"Hazel?" He looked at her anxiously.
"I'm fine..." Hazel turned her around blankly. "Joshua, have you ever seen Simon's face?"
"No." He shook his head. He woke up and heard Ted talk about his cranky brother, who didn't want others to see his looks. But he wasn't interested.
She took a deep breath and said in a deep tone, "Joshua, I'm going to say something that you might find ridiculous..."
