Chapter 234 Tara hesitated for a moment but eventually spoke , her voice shaking a little .

Aplastic anemia , Josiahs heart unk in shock .

While he had suspected that Joyce was dealing with something serious , hearing it confirmed was too much to handle .

As he looked down at the fragile little girl in his arms , Josiah struggled to breathe .

She is so small how could she endure this ? He held Joyce gently , careful not to apply any pressure for fear of hurting her .

Furrowing his brows with a serious expression , he asked , She came here to … ! Tara sighed , wiping her eyes .

Shes here for a hospital admission for tests .

Weve put her through a morning full of exams ; its been really tough .

and she is still so little … Josiah could see that Joyce was in pain .

He lifted her closer and asked , Joyce , please tell me where it hurts .

Joyce thought for a moment before shaking her head .

I have no idea .

Her lips formed a small pout , and tears rolled down her cheeks as she confessed .

Tjust dont feel well .

Josiah Very unwell Alright .

Josiah felt a rush of worry and didnt dare ask more .

I see .

Joyce ; Im here with you .

Joyce amiggled deeper into his arms .

Worried about her , Josiah looked at Tara .

Where is the patient room ? Please follow me .

When they arrived at the patient room , Josiahs face was still clouded with concern .

Get the doctor Joyce needed to see a doctor if she was feeling this bad Tara nodded and rushed off .

When Brayden heard the news , he quickly came over to check on Joyce .

Ruttling her hair , Brayden said , Joyce , you did great ! All done with the examination ? He pulled out the fairy wand he had brought as a reward .

Look ! This is your reward ! Thank you , Brayden .

Joyce accepted it through her sniffles , lacking her usual excitement .

Josiah frowned as he glanced at Brayden and asked , Youre sure Joyce is alright ? Brayden nodded , eyeing Josiah warily , unsure of his connection to Joyce .

Josialys aura made it clear he was no ordinary man .

Brayden explained , During exams , kids can feel some discomfort because they have a low tolerance .

Josiah nodded , trying to understand even though he still looked worried .

He wanted to comfort Joyce and thought about laying her down to help her feel better .

Joyces face crumpled immediately .

Josiah , hold me ! Do you not like me ? Tara felt a little embarrassed and said , Let me hold her instead .

Little ones usually want to be held when theyre feeling unwell , Josiah didnt understand all these details , but he could not let her go now .

Tll hold her .

He shook his head , still cradling Joyec Joyce .

Im sorry , I should bring you comfort .

How could I not like you ? He reassured her while rocking her gently in the patient room .

I like you the most .

Glancing at Tara , he silently asked if this was okay .

Tara nodded , her eyes red , Josiah felt joy when he noticed that Joyce seemed more at ease Josiah Joyce snuggled against him , her voice barely a whisper .

Hmm Josiah looked down at her .

Joyce looked a little shy .

I want to drink strawberry milk in his Oh no Josiah groaned , closing his frustration How could I forget to bring some for you ? He genuinely regretted it .

He had been with Joyce many times , yet he had forgotten to buy her strawberry milk .

Josiah supported her with one arm while reaching into his pocket for his phone , dialing a number .

Just wait a moment , okay ? Your favorite strawberry milk will be here very With tears sparkling in her eyes , Joyce lunged toward him , hugging him tightly .

You are so wonderful ! I like you , Josiah ? Josch chuckled softly .

At the entrance of the patient room , Sienna stood quietly , watching them .

She had just stepped away for a moment , and here was Josiah , with their It was amazing how connected this father and daughter were .

Sienna blinked , trying to hold back the tears in her eyes , and quietly slipped away .

Soon Zach arrived , bringing the long awaited strawberry milk , Zach , still trying to figure out the situation , wondered how Josiah could possibly be fnend of a lile girl .

This gal was incredibly beautiful one of the loveliest children Zach had ever seen .

Jouds tilted his chin slightly .

Zach thought to himself , Kids have it easy .

Everything they do gets praised Before leaving , Josiah gave Tara his number .

Josiah Joyce held his finger tightly .

Tara quickly stepped in .
