All Chapters of Wanted By Josh Carter: His Father, My Lover : Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Joshua’s POV"What?!" My voice was a mix of shock and concern. Beckie’s words echoed in my ears, and my heart raced. Cassie had been in an accident and was in the hospital’s intensive care unit. All the nervousness I’d felt earlier paled in comparison to this devastating news.Looking back now, it was as if I had sensed something was wrong that afternoon. I’d been restless since Cassie refused my offer to give her a safe ride home, and now this had happened, leaving me breathless, not knowing what to think or do. All I wanted was to be with Cassie.“How did this happen? What happened to her?” I asked, trying to control the anxiety in my voice.“A car hit her while she was on her way to my apartment. The driver fled, but I was there when it happened. She’s unconscious, and the doctors are taking care of her now. You need to come here, Josh. She needs you.” Beckie seemed to be crying as she spoke, and I could feel the agony in her voice.“You don’t have to ask me, I’m going to the hospi

Joshua's POVWhile Cassie was in intensive care, I decided to look for information about her state of health. I went to the counter and asked to speak to the doctor in charge of the case.After explaining who I was and my relationship with Cassie, the doctor informed me that she was in a serious but stable condition. They were closely monitoring her condition and doing everything they could to help her recover. However, they were still unsure about what exactly had happened and were conducting a series of tests to get more information.The news made me worried and distressed. I wanted to be by Cassie’s side, holding her hand and offering as much support as possible. I decided to go back to the waiting room and join Spencer and Rebecca, who were talking quietly.As I approached, Rebecca looked up and noticed that she had red eyes, indicating that she had probably cried. I sat next to them and asked how Cassie was doing.Rebecca sighed and replied, "The situation is still worrying, Josh

Cassie's POV"Is there something you need to tell me? You seem so uneasy. You're constantly biting your lips and looking toward the door. I know you want to say something," I probed my friend.Beckie had helped me clean up and assisted me with eating. She had been by my side all this time, taking care of me. My boyfriend hadn’t returned yet; perhaps he was dealing with important matters."It’s just that... You’re not asking me anything. You can’t just be indifferent to this situation," she said fearfully."What situation? What are you talking about?" I was getting worried seeing her like this."About Mark and Joshua..." she said.I raised my eyebrows curiously. Had they finally met? It was quite possible that Mark had come here concerned about my health and, in the meantime, had coincidentally bumped into Josh. It would be funny see my ex and my current boyfriend trying to deal with each other."What happened? Did they finally meet?" I asked, curious. My friend made an exasperated ex

Cassie’s POV"We only want what’s best for you, Cassie. We don’t want you to get hurt any further. Joshua and Mark have a complicated relationship, and you need to understand the problems that can arise from that. It’s not as simple as you imagine," Beckie tried to calm me down, but I was completely devastated by the revelation.As I slept, my mind was filled with conflict and confusion. I woke up frequently in a startled state with nightmares about the difficult situation I was in. It felt like everything was crumbling around me.When I finally woke up, I felt an emptiness inside me. Reality had hit me hard, and I needed to deal with the consequences. Beckie was sitting by my side, holding my hand."How are you feeling now?" she asked with a concerned expression."Everything seems so confusing. I love Josh, but now I know he is Mark’s father, someone he deeply hates. How can we overcome this? How can I choose between the love of my life and my bond with Mark?" My words came out in a

Cassie’s POVHe loved me more than anything? It was strange to hear that declaration from Mark, considering I didn’t have the same feelings for him. But I respected his feelings, even though I couldn’t reciprocate because my heart belonged to another man, who happened to be his father.I knew I needed to tell him about my relationship with his father, but I was so afraid of breaking his heart that I kept postponing that conversation for another future moment. When he spoke those words, I simply smiled and thanked him, not being in a position to do anything more than that."I truly respect the deep love you have for me; I really appreciate it and know that I also care deeply for you." I wished I could see him differently, but I really couldn’t. To me, he was just a close friend. Unsatisfied with my response, Mark wanted to say something more, but he was interrupted by my parents entering the hospital room. They came in hurriedly and immediately embraced me."Sweetie, we missed you so
