Chapter 72 -72 Garrison Family Estrangement ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
Josiah Garrison really couldn’t take it anymore.
If earlier he had only endured some mental torture in his dreams, this time he had genuinely had “intimate contact” with the other side.
The mere recollection of that cold, stiff sensation covering his mouth sent shivers down his spine, a feeling that lingered for a long time.
Thinking of this, Josiah Garrison finally made up his mind.
…
Hospital, VIP ward.
Isolde Garrison stared at Josiah Garrison in disbelief.
“Brother, you want to take this Jade Token?”
Josiah Garrison’s usually handsome face now showed clear fatigue, but when faced with Isolde Garrison’s hurtful gaze, he tried to soften his tone,
“Isolde, something happened at home, so I’m just temporarily taking back the Jade Token. Once things settle down, I’ll return it to you.”
Isolde Garrison frowned but before she could speak, Emma White already interrupted,
“Josiah, you know how unlucky Isolde has been lately, and it all depends on this Jade Token for protection. If you take it away now, aren’t you risking your sister’s life?”
Josiah Garrison said, “Mom, how could I not care about Isolde, but I really have a problem right now, you know that!”
Emma White was unconvinced,
“Didn’t we already hire a master to catch ghosts at the house? If one doesn’t work, then hire another until we find someone genuinely skilled, but your sister is in such a state that she can’t handle any more accidents, Josiah, please think about your sister.”
Isolde Garrison listened to Emma White’s words and looked pitiably at Josiah Garrison,
“Brother, do you not care about me anymore?”
Josiah Garrison was slightly annoyed; if it was about anything else, he would concede.
After all, she was the sister he doted on since childhood.
But now, it was a matter of his life!
“I’m not taking it away permanently, just borrowing it for a couple of days. Once we hire a master, I’ll give it back to her!”
Annoyed, Josiah lost the patience in his voice that he once had.
Isolde Garrison immediately lowered her head, looking wronged and sad.
Emma White felt even more heartbroken.
Timothy Garrison was the company head; the family and the company relied on him, and nothing could happen to him, so his Jade Token couldn’t be taken.
But both her son and daughter were equally precious.
Emma White didn’t love her son any less, but her daughter’s condition was more severe at the moment.
Not to mention, her own state hadn’t been well these past two days.
If she could, she’d want a Jade Token to protect her, too, but there wasn’t one!
“Josiah, why don’t you think of another way? Stay at a Taoist temple for a couple of days, seek a peace charm? If not, ask Scarlett Jennings for a couple of Jade Tokens?”
Emma White thought it was just right to ask for one more herself, momentarily forgetting how she had promised Isolde to help her accuse Scarlett Jennings of fraud earlier.
Isolde Garrison immediately protested upon hearing this,
“Mom! Scarlett Jennings made my life miserable, and now everyone’s still scolding me online, how can you still think of going to her?! Did you forget you promised to help me sue her?”
Josiah Garrison was just about to go ask again if need be, but hearing Isolde’s words, he frowned immediately,
“You’re still planning to sue her? Isolde, don’t you know the situation at home now?! We might still need her help to solve some problems, and if you sue her now, aren’t you pushing her to completely oppose our family?”
Josiah Garrison’s tone was somewhat sharp, and Emma White immediately became dissatisfied,
“Why are you being harsh on your sister? She doesn’t want this either, isn’t it Scarlett Jennings who started harming her first?”
Josiah Garrison sneered,
“She’s heartless? Could it be that because the family plotted to switch her Fate Chart first?
