The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me

If it wasn't for Martin's undercover agent who happened to be lurking in the Mafia in Japan, Joey would still be kept in the dark about the matter.

When they knew where Fiona and Sammy were, Joey and Allen flew to Japan immediately by Marin's plane.

Philip could have gone with them. His love for Sammy was no less than Fiona, but seeing that Joey had Allen by her side, he knew that there would be nothing he could do if he went with them. He just stayed here since he had decided to move on. And he'd never been alone. Philip knew he would never be alone as he had Zelda by his side.

In Japan!

Shawn, wearing an oxygen mask and looking bloodless, lay on his back on the hospital bed in ICU. With his eyes closed and his thin lips pressed, the handsome but fierce man looked particularly serene and quiet at the moment.

Fiona, who sat quietly by the bedside, stared at Shawn who was hurt because of him. There were mixed feelings in his eyes, and his heart, which had been wounded by the cruel reality, gradually became soft and warm. There was a light knock on the door. Fiona gathered her emotions and went to open the door.

Dozens of Shawn's bodyguards, dressed in black suits with a grim and solemn look, stood guarding outside the door. One of them said to Fiona in a quiet voice, "Three people are asking for you. One of them is Joey, who said she is your friend. Would you like to see her?" Since Shawn was hospitalized, the entire eighth floor was booked. No outsiders were allowed to enter except the attending doctor and the designated nurse. So Joey, Allen, and Martin had to wait downstairs.

When Fiona heard that Joey was here, he immediately let them in. Then she asked someone to bring Sammy back.

When Joey saw Sammy, she hugged him in her arms immediately.

In fact, Sammy didn't know that he had been kidnapped because he didn't wake up until three minutes ago when the anesthesia efficacy had gone. However, he hadn't seen Joey for a long time. When he saw that Joey was crying, he helped her wipe the tears and wept as well.

After hugging him for a long time, Joey was still reluctant to let go of Sammy. She looked at Fiona and saw that he was safe and sound, so she asked, "What did the doctor say about Shawn's injury?"

Although Joey was not familiar with Shawn, and she was a bit hostile to Shawn, she couldn't deny that Shawn was really into Fiona. Without Shawn's help, Joey might not see Sammy again. Joey had to thank him for this sake.

"It happened so sudden. The bullet shot through his chest, and it almost hit his heart. Luckily, he is strong and healthy, so he now has gone through the crisis. But he can't move now, and I'm going to stay here to take care of him until he recovers. Joey, could you take Sammy back right now? He has to go to kindergarten tomorrow!"

Fiona didn't want to get Joey and Sammy into this matter. Now he just wanted Joey and Sammy to stay away from him. He didn't want such dangerous things to happen again.

Joey frowned at hearing this. She knew Fiona was blaming himself and he was worried about Sammy. She put Sammy into Allen's arms and said to Fiona, "Fiona, can we have a word?"

Fiona nodded, and they went to a vacant ward.

"Fiona, did you mean you are going to be with Shawn in the future?"

Joey looked at Fiona with concern. She could feel that something was different about Fiona.

"Joey, you're always so smart," Fiona smiled. "Yeah, I've made up my mind. I'm going to be here for life. Anyway, nothing's going to be changed. Shouldn't I be content for having someone loved me so much? What I want will never belong to me. I have moved on, and I won't regret for making this decision!"

Joey didn't know what to say.

She knew what Fiona wanted, but she couldn't give her love to Fiona, just like when she had refused to be with Philip. It was fate that she had to fail them, as she had chosen Allen and decided to love him with every fibre of her being. Shawn was a suitable life partner for Fiona actually. At least he was a good man who was willing to risk his life for Fiona, although his identity was a bit intimidating.

Thinking for a while, Joey replied,

"I'm just a little worried about you. Shawn is a gangleader. If you are with him in the future, I'm afraid that things like this will happen without end. It won't do any good for your personal safety."

"It doesn't matter!"

Fiona shrugged his shoulders and laughed sadly, "I know that you have never looked down on me because I am a ladyboy, but this does not change the fact that I am a ladyboy. I can't change the fact that I am not a normal person. I was injected with estrogen when I was young, and my body grows differently from others. I am doomed to not live a long life. Even if nothing happens to me in the future, I don't have many years left to live. I've seen that through, so why should I be afraid to risk my life for him? But I shouldn't see you and Sammy very often in the future, lest things like this would happen again."

Joey burst into tears at hearing what Fiona said. Her low cry had turned into a loud wail and she hugged Fiona and cried out in pain, "Fiona." She'd always known this, but it was so sad and cruel that Fiona said it out himself.

"Don't cry. It's destiny."

Fiona gently patted Joey's back. He felt so contented with Joey's hug!000
