The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me

Joey refused to release Yolanda's finger, until Chance showed up and gave her a sedative. She quickly quieted down and fell asleep unwillingly. But she was still clenching her teeth around Yolanda's finger, which was a shockingly determined gesture. Chance had to pry open Joey's teeth to save Yolanda. But her finger was so badly hurt that the bones could be seen inside. With her face pale with pain, she still tried to hit Joey who had just passed out on a sedative.

"That's enough!" Chance grabbed Yolanda and said coldly, "If you don't treat your finger in a timely manner, I'm afraid it will be useless. You'd better not waste any time now."

The woman he liked could only be hurt by him, and he would never allow anyone else to lay a finger on her.

That was exactly what he had done.

Just then, Mr. Linderman came back with dinner. He didn't have time to ask what happened, but he immediately rushed to Joey as a protective father.

Yolanda knew that it wouldn't do her any good to stay any longer. So she had no choice but to leave the room with the help of two nurses. She had really suffered a great loss this time.

She ground his teeth angrily and secretly vowed revenge.

Joey had been awfully quiet since Yolanda's visit.

One day, Martin suddenly came to the hospital. But he just stood outside the window and quietly watched Joey for half an hour and left without saying anything.

Chance watched the scene with a secret anxiety in his heart.

It seemed that he wasn't the only man who wanted Joey.

As Martin walked out of the hospital, he happened to run into Sarah who had come to visit Joey. But they hadn't known each other very well. They had only seen each other two or three times. They simply greeted each other with a nod. When Sarah came to Joey's room, Mr. Linderman was there. After a dozen day's toil and worry, he seemed to have lost much weight.

"Uncle, I'll take care of Joey. You go and have a rest." Sarah said worriedly. She saw the exhausted look on his face and couldn't help thinking of her own father. They were both simple but particularly loving fathers.

Mr. Linderman shook his head with a smile, "I'm not tired. But you've come at a good time. Joey is running out of groceries, and I'm going to buy some for her. Please take care of her for me while you're here. Thank you." Sarah nodded, "Not at all."

After Mr. Linderman left, Sarah sat down by the bed and looked at Joey, who looked like someone with dementia. She felt deeply sorry for her friend, and burst into tears, "Why have you become like this? I thought you would be happier than me, because you are such a wonderful person. Why have you ended up like this?"

She took Joey's cold hands and pressed them against her face, "They all say you're crazy, but I don't believe it. You're Joey. How could you have gone mad? I don't believe it at all. Please talk to me. You're my best friend. You're the only one who has been really good to me. How could you have gone crazy? No, I wouldn't allow it. Tell me it's not true..."The more she talked, the more excited she became. She finally threw herself over Joey and cried.

However, Sarah suddenly felt someone was caressing her hair. Startled, she got up immediately to find that Joey, who had been dull and motionless, was looking at her with soft eyes. It was Joey who had been caressing her hair. "Joey...you're not mad." Sarah was thrilled and her voice was trembling.

Joey shook her head and croaked out her first sentence in a dozen days, "I don't know. Sometimes, I'm wide awake, like now. But other times, I'm so confused and lost that I don't even know I am. Sarah, I think I'm really going crazy. I don't want to go crazy. I really don't..."

In the past ten days, she had been mostly muddle-headed. She was occasionally sober, but she had no desire to say anything. She had just wanted to lie in bed until she died one day. Had it not been for Sarah's cries that awakened the last trace of her worldly concerns, perhaps she would have remained silent forever until she eventually lost her ability to speak.

When she began to speak, Joey suddenly felt that her mind was much clearer. She had an epiphany.

She became more excited at Joey's recovery. She held Joey's hands tightly and shed tears of joy, "Don't be silly. You're all right now. You'll get better soon. I'll call in the doctor. I'm going to call Allen and your father, too. They will be very happy."☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
