The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me

saying a word, and gave Joey an injection in the neck.

Mrs. Linderman's cry immediately attracted the attention of all the people in the corridor. Chance, who had been hiding in the dark and watching everything, finally showed up in time. He looked very worried. He rushed into the room, took a syringe out of her pocket without Once the medicine kicked in, Joey, who had been hysterically biting Allen, suddenly quieted down. Her hands and legs went weak. She closed his eyes, and fell into Allen's arms, as if she had suddenly fallen asleep. "What did you do to her?"

Chance moved so quickly that Allen couldn't have stopped him. He was very confused and worried.

"Don't worry. I just gave her a sedative to help control her condition.

Chance looked very serious. When he saw Allen's scratches and bites, he suggested, "You've been hurt like this by her. Why don't you come with me and take care of the wounds?"

"No, I don't want to leave her. You have to take care of the wounds right here."

Allen put Joey in bed slowly. Although she had fallen asleep, he still wanted to stay with her.

Chance couldn't argue with him, so he asked Sarah and Mr. Linderman to leave the room for a while to give Allen some privacy. Then he sent for some disinfectant to treat Allen's bruises.

"Uncle, Auntie, I'm going to another hospital to visit my brother. I'll see Joey tomorrow."

Sarah found that it was time for her to see her younger brother Patrick today. He would be waiting for her. She had to go.

Mr. Linderman nodded feebly, "Well, see you tomorrow. Please give our regards to Patrick."

Just then, Philip suddenly said to Sarah, "I'd like to go see Patrick with you. The last time I saw him was a month ago."

He had dated Sarah for a few years, so he and her brother naturally knew each other, but the little guy liked him very much.

He had dated Sarah for a few years, so he had naturally known Patrick very well. The boy had always liked him very much. There was nothing he could do at the hospital anyway. He was in no position to take care of Joey, whether she was awake or asleep. "Well, let's go!"

Sarah was well aware that Philip wasn't feeling well at the moment. She nodded with a smile, and they left the hospital together.

As soon as Sarah and Philip had left, Mrs. Linderman became restless. She touched her husband's shoulder and said, "Joey is now in hospital. I guess Vivian and Ben haven't gotten the news yet. It's not far from where they live anyway. I'm going to tell them about it." She got up and was about to leave.

"Stop!" Mr. Linderman's face suddenly became very grave. He certainly knew what his wife was thinking. He shouted at her, "I know you don't want to stay here with Joey. I'm totally fine with it. But there is no need to tell either of them about Joey's condition. I won't allow them to come to the hospital to upset Joey. You can go now."

"You stubborn old man... All right, I'll leave. Of course I won't stay here, because she isn't my daughter. Why should I stay with her? Huh!"

Mrs. Linderman lost her temper when her husband had read her mind. She turned around and left angrily.

It was a rare opportunity for her to go to the bustling city, so she had planned to go on a shopping spree with her daughter Vivian. With all the lovely things in the city, she would hate to waste her time in the hospital.

Watching his wife leaving indifferently, Mr. Linderman couldn't help feeling disappointed.

Maybe it was a good thing that she had left. Her cold-heartedness and impatience would only annoy him if she stayed.

Therefore, Mr. Linderman and Allen, the two men who loved Joey most in the world, began to take turns to take care of her in the hospital.

Mr. Linderman took care of Joey during the day, because Allen had to go to work. Allen took care of her during the night.

Time flew. Ten days had passed in the blink of an eye.

During the past ten days, Joey had eaten regularly, but she hadn't said a word. She had just been lying motionlessly in bed all day long and staring at the ceiling with wide, empty and unfocused eyes. She wouldn't respond to anyone. She looked like someone with dementia.

Allen and her father had talked to her every day, trying to get a response out of her, but she remained silent.

Allen had suspected that there was something wrong with Joey's body. But Chance told him that she had recovered very quickly and she had some mental problems.

Chance implied that Joey had gone medically insane.

However, Allen refused to believe it. But it was evident from her motionless and empty eyes that she couldn't even recognize him. He had to call in her former psychiatrist. But even the best psychiatrist couldn't do anything to help a silent patient.00000
