Billionaire And His Son Betrayed Me: Brothers Back Me Up novel Chapter 348

Chapter 348

oshua was wheeled back into the hospital room again.

Noelle tried to get Xylia and her group out, but she was no match for them.

nstead, she ended up stuck outside, blocked by Cyrus and Kaden.

Cyrus was holding Eliza, who had already fallen asleep in his arms.

Kaden glanced at Eliza, then lowered his voice as he spoke to Noelle.

Ms. Coffey, I really want to know what exactly happened in Daltonia,” Kaden said.

We’ve been searching for so long–me, Aaron, and Daltonia’s top brass–and still, not a single clue that Joshua was alive,’ Kaden thought.

Noelle somehow managed to spirit him away and make everyone think he was dead.

something this big isn’t something Noelle could’ve pulled off by herself.

Wait… could Richard still be alive too?‘ Kaden thought, suspicion flickering in his eyes.

Noelle showed none of the fear or wariness that Kaden and Cyrus had expected.

I’m the one who saved Joshua. He doesn’t remember anyone else—he only trusts me now. Even if you keep me out here, once he wakes up, he’ll come looking for me,” Noelle said, her voice firm.

Her words left no room for doubt.

Kaden and Cyrus both frowned at the same time.

Xylia was in the hospital room, looking after Joshua.

If Joshua wakes up and doesn’t recognize Xylia, how could she take it?‘ Kaden thought, the idea making his heart clench.

Just then, Aaron and Eliza rushed over.

When Noelle saw them, a hint of guilt flashed in her eyes. But it was gone in an instant.

Eliza rushed to the hospital room door, her voice shaky with worry as she called out to Kaden, “Kaden, is Joshua really alive? Where is he?”

It was obvious Eliza had been crying–her eyes were still red and swollen.

Kaden gently reassured her, “Mrs. Garcia, Joshua’s really alive. He’s just a little banged up. He’s in the room right now, and Xylia’s with him.”

Tears of joy streamed down Eliza’s face.

Just as Eliza was about to rush into the room, a thought struck her. She turned to Noelle, who was standing silently nearby

Facing Noelle, any trace of fondness she once had for her had completely vanished.

“Noelle, have you been looking after Joshua this whole time?” Eliza asked, her voice cold.

Her voice was cold.

Noelle looked at Eliza, her gaze no longer carrying the same trust it once did.

“Yes,” Noelle said calmly.

“If you knew Joshua was alive, why didn’t you bring him home? You were here in Jupiton–could you really just stand there and watch us mourn him, knowing all along he wasn’t dead?” Eliza demanded. Her voice was edged with anger.

Noelle let out a scoff.

Her pretty face was icy, not a trace of warmth.

“Why should I care about your feelings? Back when I liked Joshua, did any of you ever give a damn about me? Try putting yourselves in my place–everything that happened is because of you!” Noelle shot back.

SLAP!

Noelle’s cheek stung from the slap.

She couldn’t believe it–Eliza, who’d always been so gentle and caring, actually hit her.

Eliza was trembling with rage.

She stared at Noelle, disappointment written all over her face. “Joshua made it clear–he never loved you. Feelings can’t be forced. Why do you hate him so much? Enough to hurt him like this?”

Seeing Eliza so shaken, Aaron rushed over and gently pulled her into his arms, trying to comfort her.

By now, Noelle couldn’t keep pretending to care about them.

She gave a cold, mocking smile.

“Don’t forget–Joshua only survived because of my brother’s sacrifice. He was the only family I had left. Even if he doesn’t love me, he owes me that much!

“Every single one of you owes me!” Noelle snapped.

Her voice was so shrill that Eliza, nestled in Cyrus’s arms, flinched and started gnawing on her hand as she slowly woke up.

The kid didn’t cry, while Cyrus’s expression turned stormy.

He soothed the little girl with a gentle pat, shooting Noelle a frosty glare.

“Your brother saved Joshua, so if anyone owes a debt, it’s to your brother–not you. The Garcia family gave you everything- took you in when you had nothing, made sure you never had to worry about a thing, turned you from a poor student into someone with a future. So what do you have to be bitter about?” Cyrus shot back.

Noelle shot Cyrus a fierce glare.

“That was my own brother’s life! Money can’t pay for that!” she snapped.

Cyrus let out a cold laugh, his eyes full of mockery as he looked at Noelle.

“So your brother’s life is priceless, but you think Joshua loving you is enough to pay it back? You’re using your brother’s death to chain someone’s feelings to you. You’re so selfish, it makes me wonder if you even cared about your brother at all

Cyrus sneered.

His words were sharp, and Noelle’s face flushed red, then turned pale.

With that, Cyrus left without another word, Eliza still cradled in his arms.

He could see she was still groggy from being woken up–a little comfort and she’d drift right back off.

He wasn’t about to let the little one lose any sleep over this.

Kaden turned to Aaron and Eliza.

Uncle Aaron, Mrs. Garcia, no matter what you decide, I’m putting people on guard outside this room. From what Noelle ast said. Joshua probably has amnesia. Even if he wakes up and throws a fit demanding to see her, I’m not letting it happen,” Kaden said, his tone firm.

When th

opens, I need you both to stay out of it,” he added.

Laden’s tutude was polite, but his tone left no room for argument.

He knew Aaron and Eliza probably wouldn’t let Noelle see Joshua again.

But with all the debts of gratitude between them, Kaden knew it’d be tough for the two elders to make a move. So he lecided to step up and take charge himself.

His little sister had been through hell for almost a year.

Now that Joshua’s back, there was no way he’d let anyone ruin her happiness ever again.

Aaron nodded. “Alright, we’ll go with your plan.”

But when Noelle heard what Kaden said, she got all worked up.

What right do you have to keep Joshua from me? He’s my boyfriend now!” Noelle yelled, her voice shrill with frustration.

Noelle tried to rush into the hospital room, but Kaden blocked her at the door.

Kaden blocked her path, looming over Noelle with a gaze so sharp it felt like it could cut right through her.

Joshua is my brother–in–law–he’s one of us now. You hurt my family, and you’ll pay for it,” Kaden said, his voice flat.

But to Noelle, there was a chilling undertone that made her skin crawl.

Eliza had lost all patience with Noelle and didn’t want to waste another second outside.

She turned and pushed open the hospital room door, stepping inside.

Joshua lay there on the hospital bed, eyes closed and silent, an IV line running into his arm.

Xylia sat right beside him, clutching his hand tight, just staring at him–she didn’t dare blink, like he’d vanish the second she looked away.

She was so afraid that if she closed her eyes, he might be gone when she opened them again.

Eliza walked over, her heart aching as she saw her son lying there, covered in bandages and looking so gaunt,

he couldn’t hold back her tears–they just kept falling.

Thank goodness–he’s so lucky to have survived and come home!‘ Eliza thought, relief washing over her.

he was still so weak after giving birth, and Eliza worried that if she didn’t rest up now, she might end up with health roblems down the line.

liza gently coaxed her, “Xylia, you need to rest. Go back to your room and get some sleep–I’ll stay here with Joshua.”

ylia gently shook her head, her grip on Joshua’s hand tightening just a little.
