Chapter 370
After Joshua finished speaking, Javier finally noticed that Joshua was injured too. He was wearing a black shirt, and the bloodstains blended in, making them hard to spot at first. The blood had trickled down onto his hand, the bright red standing out sharply against his pale skin, creating a striking contrast.
Joy noticed it too. She didn't quite grasp the details about "Chris" or "American forces," but she understood that the attackers weren't ordinary people. It made sense now why they had guns, even though firearms were banned in their country.
"Mr. Fisher, you're hurt! You should really see a doctor," Joy said, startled at the sight of Joshua's bloody hands.
Joshua shook his head. "I'm staying here with Allie."
"Joshua," Javier's eyes were bloodshot as he glared at Joshua, each word dripping with bitterness, "If anything happens to my Allie..." The words caught in his throat, unable to finish, "If she doesn't make it..."
Javier paused, his jaw clenched as he continued, "I'll do whatever it takes, even if it costs me everything, to make your family pay!"
"Chris has already been taken in by the police," Joshua murmured, his eyes downcast. "This time, he's really not getting away."
"Javier," Joshua met Javier's furious gaze and spoke softly, "If anything happens to Allie, I'll give my life for hers."
Hearing this, Javier, Linda, and Joy were all taken aback. None of them expected Joshua to say that. It
wasn't just Javier and Joy; even net
Brooklyn, who usually remained stoic, was shocked. Joshua, with his status, talking about sacrificing his life?
Javier quickly regained his composure, scoffing, "Your life? What good would that do? If something happens to Allie, will your life bring her back?"noveldrama
Joshua furrowed his brow, pursing his lips in silence.
"Um..." Joy hesitated, "Mr. Javier, Allison is still being treated. The outcome might not be bad. She's so kind, surely fate wouldn't be so cruel..." Joy's voice caught with emotion, trailing off as sadness overwhelmed her.
"Yes, Allie will be okay. Shaodong, let's not think the worst..." Linda gently patted Javier's back, trying to comfort him. Despite her words, Linda Couldn't help but tear up. Allie wasn't her biological daughter, but she had always treated her like one. Over the years, Allie's attitude towards her had shifted from resentment to acceptance. Allie's career was just starting to blossom, everything seemed to be on the up and up. How could this happen... She was still so young.
Before long, the other two partners of the law firm, Watson and Dominic, arrived with several other lawyers. The Duran siblings, along with Brian, Sabrina, London, and Peyton, also showed up. The hallway was crowded, yet everyone was silent, the bustling corridor enveloped in a heavy stillness. The mood was dense with tension and despair. Everyone silently prayed, hoping Allison would pull through this ordeal safely.
