Unstoppable Unforgiven (Shermaine and Joshua) novel Chapter 408

Chapter 408

Ross chuckled under his breath. Somehow, no matter how quick he was with comebacks, he always lost to Danielle. And of course, he would miss her.

The morning sky had cleared up after a night of drizzle. Blue stretched endlessly overhead as fiery red maple leaves crunched beneath the car tires. He’d personally driven Danielle to the airport and watched her board the plane.

Once the plane slowly flew into the sky and disappeared from view, Ross finally left the airport. On the way, he decided to ask Joshua out for lunch. “The Blues Jetroinian Restaurant at 12 PM.”

“Got it,” Joshua replied. At the time, he was just outside a hospital room. As the call ended, the psychiatrist, Kairo Fox, emerged from inside.

Kairo said, “Let’s talk in my office.”

Inside the office, Kairo handed Joshua a report. “Mr. York, your father’s mental state is stable, and his psychological evaluation came back healthy. There’s no indication of schizophrenia in these results as well.”

Joshua gave the report a quick glance and nodded.

“If you’re still concerned, we can keep him under observation a few more days,” Kairo offered.

“No need for that,” Joshua replied calmly. “I’ve confirmed it myself that there’s nothing wrong with him.”

Just to be safe, Joshua had already consulted with a few other scientists from the research institute.

According to them, Stephen had never shown any signs of mental illness during his time there. He’d always been sharp, except for that one odd day when he left the institute acting strangely.

“All right then,” Kairo said.

Soon after, Joshua proceeded with the discharge paperwork for Stephen.

Stephen had been eager to leave the hospital for some time. The only reason he’d been kept in was because his blood pressure, cholesterol, and sugar levels were all elevated. But today, everything was finally back to normal.

What puzzled him most was how he even developed those issues in the first place, as he’d always been healthy. Stranger still, he had no memory of heading home that day.

Joshua didn’t tell him the full story, and Stephen didn’t press. Whatever it was, something about it didn’t add up.

As they stepped out of the hospital, a cat suddenly appeared at Stephen’s feet. It rubbed against his pants and meowed softly.

The white cat was a little dirty, but still looked adorably soft. It wasn’t the first time this cat had shown up. Stephen had seen it wandering near his room for days, and he had even fed it a couple of times.

Stephen wasn’t fond of furry pets, but this one seemed special. He said, “Find someone kind to take this cat in.”

‘Huh? But I want to go home with you,‘ the cat thought, and so, it protested by meowing louder, which meant to say, ‘No! Take me with you.”

“You don’t want to leave?” Stephen asked.

The cat meowed in agreement. Joshua looked down at the cat, which tried to rub against his leg but had missed entirely. It flopped to the ground with a dramatic squeak. “Meow!” It even looked slightly upset now.

Stephen glanced at the little thing and then asked after some thought, “Does your wife like animals?”

“She’s okay with them,” Joshua replied.

“Then take it home,” Stephen suggested. “It’s a cute cat. Have someone from the pet store clean it up. Once your wife gets back, you can give it to her

The cat agreed with Stephen. “Meow, meow.”

Joshua stayed quiet for a moment but eventually agreed. He told the driver to bring the cat along, and they stopped by a pet shop on the way home.

There, the cat got a full grooming session–bath, nail trim, the works. Joshua also picked up cat food, a bed, and other essentials before returning to Riverswood Villa.

Stephen took a separate car back to York residence. When he was reminded that he’d previously stayed at Joshua’s place, his expression subtly changed before he quickly brushed it off and firmly refused to return home with Joshua.

Truth be told, Joshua was starting to think this cat didn’t look like a stray at all. After the bath, the little thing was chubby, clean underneath the dirt, and clearly well cared for. It was probably just lost.
