Chapter 347
Joshua was mentioned again.
Kaden and Cyrus both glanced at Xylia at the same time, as if on cue.

What if she breaks down and starts crying again?‘ That thought flashed through both their minds.
Since she just had a baby, it’d really be best for her not to cry.
But they underestimated Xylia’s resilience.
Xylia just calmly mentioned Joshua, totally focused on comforting the little girl in her arms–she wasn’t sad at all.
Seeing that, Kaden and Cyrus finally relaxed.
Just as the three of them were about to head back to the ward, they heard a commotion coming from the
emergency room.
“Hurry up! The patient’s in a coma. If we miss the best time to treat him, he could be in serious danger!”
“Move, move, move! The patient’s gone into a coma–if we don’t treat him now, his life could be at risk!” the ER doctor shouted, voice urgent.
“See? This is exactly why I said no to transferring him. He’s in recovery–moving him right now is way too dangerous!”
‘He sounded absolutely furious.
Noelle, who was standing off to the side, never saw it coming. Joshua Lynch had been perfectly fine just moments earlier when they went downstairs.
But before they’d even made it to the hospital doors, Joshua’s head suddenly lolled to the side–he slipped straight into a coma.
When Noelle glanced down at him, she noticed blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.
That sight scared the hell out of her.
Noelle immediately rushed to get the emergency doctor.
Now, listening to the doctor’s rant, Noelle wanted to fire back, but seeing Joshua lying there unconscious, she forced herself to stay quiet.
She trailed after the others and ended up right outside the emergency room again.
As the group rushed over, Kaden gave Noelle and the unconscious Joshua another careful once–over.
Joshua’s bandages had been partly removed, and one side of his face was smeared with blood.

Chapter 347
Kaden could only make out a blurry outline—his features weren’t clear at all.
There was a strange sense of familiarity, but he still couldn’t figure out who the guy was.
Xylia, standing right beside them, cast only a brief glance in that direction–and in that instant, her face went pale as a ghost. She murmured under her breath, “Joshua…”
Kaden heard Xylia softly mumble under her breath, and his brows furrowed with concern.
But in the very next moment,
Xylia clutched her baby tightly to her chest and dashed towards the emergency room, urgency written all over her face.
“Xylia!” Kaden called out, urgency obvious in his voice.
Cyrus and Kaden didn’t hesitate–they rushed after her.
Noelle was standing outside the ER with her mask on, pacing and looking more anxious by the second.
She was fidgeting, waiting impatiently, when heavy footsteps came thundering up behind her. Noelle spun around so fast she almost tripped over herself.
‘Xylia!‘ Noelle’s heart skipped a beat–she hadn’t expected to see her here.
‘Why did Xylia come here all of a sudden?‘ she wondered, confusion and surprise flickering across her face.
Xylia had her baby tightly in her arms, rushing up to the emergency room doors. She just stood there, gazing blankly at the entrance, lost in her thoughts.
After a moment, she finally turned her head and looked over at Noelle, her eyes rimmed red with emotion.
“Is the person in there Joshua?” Xylia asked, her voice trembling.
‘Crap, just my luck–Xylia of all people,‘ Noelle thought, her heart skipping a beat.
Noelle clenched her fists tight. She could feel panic welling up inside, but she forced herself to keep it together.
She dropped her voice, even changing her tone.
“Joshua? Never heard of him. The guy in there is my husband, alright!”
Just as Noelle finished speaking, the doors to the operating room swung open.
A nurse stepped out, holding a form for someone to sign. “Family of Joshua Lynch, please sign here.”
Noelle quickly stepped forward, trying to prove her point. “I’m his wife. I’ll sign.”
The nurse gave Noelle a skeptical look, clearly not buying it. “His record says he’s single. Are you really his wife?”

Noelle’s cheeks flushed with embarrassment–she’d been called out in front of everyone. Stumbling, she quickly tried to fix it, “Uh, his girlfriend.”
Only then did the nurse hand her the form to sign.
As soon as the nurse stepped back into the operating room, Noelle barely had time to turn around before Xylia strode right up and yanked her mask off, face–to–face.
Noelle was totally blindsided, her whole face suddenly lit up under the harsh hospital lights.
Xylia stared at her, recognition flashing in her eyes–she looked like she was about to blow up right then and there.
“Noelle! I knew it was you!” Xylia declared, her voice crackling with rage.
Even with the mask on, Xylia had recognized Noelle right away.
It wasn’t just about being familiar with her-
Xylia could spot that vibe anywhere.
“Joshua Lynch? What did you do to Joshua? And why is he going by that name?” Xylia demanded, her voice fierce and accusing.
Noelle realized there was no point in hiding anymore.
She decided to drop the act and let it all out.
“Joshua? He died back when we were in Daltonia. The guy in the ward is my boyfriend from abroad. Seriously, are you even thinking straight after having the baby? See a random man and you call him Joshua?” Noelle shot back, her words sharp and dismissive.
Noelle just blurted out the excuse without a second thought.
But Xylia wasn’t buying it for a second.
“Joshua is in that operating room–I could recognize him no matter what, even if he was burnt to a crisp! You’re the one who took him and faked his death!” Xylia shot back, her voice cold and unshakable.
That was the only explanation that made sense right now.
Xylia could barely contain her excitement; her whole heart was bursting with joy.
‘Joshua isn’t dead!‘ That thought lit her up inside.
For nearly a year, nothing had made her happier than this.
Even from just a quick glance, there wasn’t a doubt in her mind–that was Joshua they’d just rolled into the operating room!
“For the last time, that’s my boyfriend—not Joshua!” Noelle fired back, exasperation clear in her voice.

As soon as Noelle finished, Cyrus spoke up.
“So it really was Joshua in that hospital room that day. No wonder he looked so familiar to me.”
Xylia turned to Cyrus, anxiety written all over her face. “What happened?” she pressed.
Cyrus explained to Xylia about how he’d pulled out Joshua’s IV needle earlier.
