Chapter 172

“Joey, how could you...”

Chance looked at Joey affectionately. How could she be so sweet and understanding? How could he give up on such a lovely girl...

“What’s wrong with me?”

Joey had no idea what was thinking, but the way the way he was looking at her was disturbing.

“Oh, nothing.”

Chance looked away quickly and changed the subject, “The baby was instable largely because of your mood swings. It seems that you’re under great psychological pressure. Do you have something on your mind? You can tell me. I might be able to help you as a doctor.”

Joey quickly shook her head, “I, I’m fine. It’s just that I’m going to be a first-time mother, so I’m...quite nervous. Thank you for your concern. I'm a little tired. I’d like to get some sleep.”

Chance shrugged, “All right. Ring the bell whenever you need me.”

He wouldn’t force Joey to open her heart to him. He’d better take it slow.

After Chance left, lying feebly on the bed, Joey couldn’t help recalling Ben Hawk’s evil voice, “See you at Phoenix Hotel, one o 'clock tomorrow.”

“No!” Joey closed her eyes and buried her head in her hands in agony.

No, she wouldn’t go to see the monster.

But what should she do now?

“Somebody help me!” She prayed.

“Every night in my dream, I see you, I feel you...”

Just then, her phone suddenly rang.

Deeply immersed in sorrow, Joey was startled by the ring tone. She picked up the phone and found that it was a call from Thailand.

Her hands slightly trembled. She knew who it was from.

“Hello, Joey, it’s me.” There came Fiona’s unique and pleasant voice from the other end of the phone.

“Fiona...”

The minute Joey heard the familiar voice, she burst into tears and her voice instantly choked with emotion.

Fiona was the only one who knew about Ben Hawk’s assault in Thailand.

However, Joey hadn’t contacted Fiona since she came back home, partly because Fiona had known too much and her unique identity as a ladyboy was daunting. Joey hadn’t expected her to call her at all at the critical time.

“You’re crying. What happened?”

Fiona heard Joey’s repressed sobs and asked her with concern.

“I...he threatened me again and asked me to go to see him at the hotel tomorrow...”

Fiona was the only one in the world who she could share it with, because he knew how much pain Ben Hawk had put her through.

Fiona went silent for a second and asked, “What time tomorrow? Which hotel?”

Fiona certainly knew what Joey was implying and what she was worried about.

Joey was surprised, but she answered honestly, “One o 'clock tomorrow at Phoenix Hotel.”

Fiona assured her, “Don’t worry. I’ll take care of it for you.”

“Huh?” Joey was confused, “But you’re in Thailand.”

“I’ll take the next flight. There's still time.”

“Well...” Joey was grateful and sorry, “It would be too much to ask for you to come all the way for me. Besides, Ben Hawk wants me. He wants to ruin me. I’m afraid it won't make any difference if you come.”

“No, I’m not flying to China solely for you. I’m actually calling you today to tell you that I have a performance in a local club in two days. So I’ll just take an earlier flight to solve the problem for you.”

Fiona’s voice was calm, “As for Ben Hawk, he’ll shut up and won't bother you anymore. You can count on me. See you tomorrow!”

“Fiona...hello...”

The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me Chapter 171 The story behind it Fiona hung up the phone before Joey said anything else. Joey was greatly relieved to know Fiona would be here for her soon.

Somehow, Joey trusted Fiona, just like when she had stayed at his home for a week after Fiona had saved her and taken care of her in Thailand.

Joey cherished their friendship very much, even though she hadn’t taken his identity as a ladyboy queen at first.
