Chapter 12 Fainting
Sebastian pulled her back, his gaze piercing. "Why did you speak to Theodore? Are you hiding something from me?"
Joey looked at him coldly, a faint smile playing on her lips. "What's wrong? Afraid I'll go after him as my next sugar daddy? Don't worry, even if I were desperate, I wouldn't go for your future brother-in-law."
With that, she ruthlessly freed herself from Sebastian's grip and walked with dignity into the room with the nurse.
Sebastian felt a sharp pang in his heart for some reason. He stared at Joey's retreating figure, his hands slowly clenching into fists.
Twenty minutes later, Joey emerged from the ward.
Her face was now as white as a sheet of paper. Her once moist and tender lips had lost all color. Her eyes were dull and lifeless, her body swaying.
She leaned against the wall for support as she made her way down the corridor.
Sebastian quickened his pace and caught up, bending down to lift her in his arms. There was an indescribable emotion in his eyes.
"I'll take you to rest for a while."
But before he could take a step, a voice came from behind.
"President Winters, Miss Vale is emotionally unstable. She's crying and wants to see you. Please go and check on her."
Joey looked at Sebastian with an expressionless gaze, a mocking smile tugging at the corners of her pale lips.
When she had her blood drawn earlier, she felt her vision darken and wanted to pass out.
She forced herself to leave the ward. When she saw Sebastian walking towards her, there was still a glimmer of hope in her heart. She wanted to tell him that she couldn't hold on any longer, to take her away.
But upon hearing the nurse's words, she couldn't help but laugh at herself. Between Isabella and her, Sebastian had never chosen her.
As expected.
Sebastian hesitated for a moment. He put her down and said in a deep voice, "Wait here."novelbin
Joey seemed calm as she watched Sebastian leave her and hurriedly rush towards Isabella's ward.
She immediately lowered her head, hiding her already moist eyes.
"Miss Blackwood, I'll take you back."
Theodore came over to support Joey, but she pushed him away.
She looked at him stubbornly and replied coldly, "Mr. Vale, there's no debt left between us. I don't want to owe you anything anymore!"

With that, she leaned against the wall and slowly made her way outside. Her legs were trembling, her vision was darkening, and she felt like she was running out of strength.
However, Joey still forced herself to come downstairs.
Out of sight of the Vale family, away from Sebastian.
She hadn't gone far when her body gave out, and she collapsed to the floor.
Just as Joey thought she would hit her face on the ground, a strong hand caught her waist.
A man's voice sounded tense in her ear.
"Joey!"
