The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me

Chapter 30 They wouldn’t leave her side

“Let go of her!”

Philip glared at him uncompromisingly.

Allen Charles was grinding his teeth. Joey was pale as paper in his arms and he had no choice but to

soften his voice, “My friend is a doctor in a nearby hospital. Allow me to send her to the hospital before

it’s too late if you really care for her. “

Philip immediately gave in, “All right, but I’m going with you.”

Allen cared greatly for Joey, which made Philip realize that he wasn’t a stranger to Joey after all

because his concern for her was undoubtedly genuine.

“As you like!”

Allen quickly ran to his car with Joey in his arms. Damn, he deeply regretted his recklessness when he

got into a fight with Philip. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been hurt at all. “Baby, hang in there. God,

help me…”

Apparently the doctor Allen had talked about was Chance. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Chance was actually the son of a very powerful official and there had been generations of officials in

high positions in his family. Otherwise he wouldn’t have made friends with Allen since childhood. Yet

informal as he was, he had always hated constraints and hypocrisy of officialdom, so he had decided to

become a doctor who ran a well-known private hospital instead.

As it happened, his hospital wasn’t far away from the Walter Group. Allen Charles drove fast and

arrived at the hospital in fifteen minutes.

Allen had made a call to Chance. When they arrived, Chance was already waiting outside with his

medical staff and an emergency stretcher.

However, after Chance checked up Joey, he curled his lips and gestured to the doctors and nurses to

leave with the emergency stretcher. He was a little annoyed, “It’s just a flesh wound. Don’t be so

nervous. There is no need to make a big fuss about it. I thought it was your father falling ill. Carry her to

my consulting room.”

“But she passed out.”

Allen wasn't convinced.

“It’s normal. First, she was kicked. Second, she fell badly. Third, she didn’t get enough sleep last night

and hasn’t eaten anything today. Besides, she was frail and had a bit of a fever.”

It seemed that Chance knew her health conditions very well.

Allen felt sorry for her. She must have avoided him and felt painful about it. He didn't hesitate anymore.

He picked her up and rushed into the hospital

Philip followed them.

Joey slept for a long time until she woke up thirsty at midnight.

“Water…”

She opened her eyes slowly and found Allen and Chance by her side. Neither of them had fallen

asleep and their eyes were red.

They were happy to find her awake and brought her water soon.

With two glasses of water in front of her, Joey raised her head and looked at them one by one. Finally

she stretched out his hand for the water in Philip’s hand.

Philip was pleased and his exhaustion was gone.

Allen felt hurt and disappointed.

“You should go back. I’m fine.”

White walls, white bed and white sheet made her immediately realize that she was at the hospital right

now. She felt a dull pain in her stomach which reminded her of the fight between Allen and Philip after

work.

“I’m not leaving.”

Allen stared at her. He wouldn’t leave unless she explained why she had been avoiding him.

“Since you’re not leaving, me neither.”

Philip looked at Allen unamiably. What if Allen “assaulted” Joey again when he was gone? He had to

stay to protect her.

Joey closed her eyes helplessly. She didn’t understand why Philip suddenly cared for her. But she

wasn’t really in the mood to think about it. She buried her head in the pillow, trying to ignore them.

However, when she woke up in the next morning, she found herself in a whole different place. She

looked around for a while before she recognized that it was Allen’s villa where she had been once.

Now she was held in Allen’s arms with her head rested on his broad chest.

She jumped to her feet in surprise. Why wasn't she at the hospital?

Allen was woken up by her. He opened his eyes and greeted her naturally, “Hey, baby!”

Joey’s eyes sparkled because she had always liked the way he called her baby. But…she somehow

recalled the night of Ben Hawk’s assault again. She jumped out of bed and said in panic, “Why am I

here? Where is Philip?”
