Chapter 210
The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me
âAnd then what?â Joey stared into Allenâs eyes.
He turned his head slightly to avoid looking her in the eye, âThen...I got drunk and fell asleep in the club.â
âAnd then?â Her eyes became colder. Her eyes made him feel intimidated and guilty.
But since he had decided to lie to her at first, there was no turning back now. He had to continue to lie, âThat was it. I woke up this morning and rushed back home, only to find that you had been sent to the hospital. So I came to the hospital immediately. Baby, I...â
âEnough!â Joey closed her eyes and there was a mocking smile on her face. When she opened her eyes, they were shockingly cold and resentful, âGet out! I donât want to see you.â
Everyone was shocked, including Allen.
âBaby...â Before Allen could say anything, Joey had shouted at him, âShut up! Donât call me baby ever again. Get out of here! Didnât you hear me? I donât want to see you here. Get out...â
She didnât want to restrain herself anymore at the moment. Allenâs betrayal had hurt her more than the loss of her poor baby. She screamed hysterically and tore at her hair frantically, which made her look even like a mad woman.
They were shocked by her sudden loss of control. They tried to stop her at once. She had just lost her child, and she was too weak to handle such mood swings.
Just before they could stop her, Allen had held her in his arms and comforted her, âBaby, Donât do that. Youâll hurt yourself.â
âDonât touch me. Let me go. I hate you. I hate you all. Iâll avenge my baby...â
She shouted hysterically and her eyes were red and swollen. Being held so tightly by Allen, her hands could only touch his back. She began to scratch his back like crazy, and sink her teeth into his shoulder at the same time. He was bleeding.
He was sweating from the pain, but he wouldnât let go of his arms around her, because he was afraid that she would hurt herself once he released her. If his physical pain could relieve her mental pain a little, he would be happy to take it.
So Allen just allowed her to scratch and bite him in silence, leaving him bruised and covered in blood.
Martha, Philip, Sarah, and Joeyâs parents were stunned.

If he had been more indifferent to Yolanda last night and hadnât drunk the glass of wine she handed him, Joey wouldnât have lost the baby because he hadnât returned home all night. He would regret it for the rest of his life.
He didnât even know why Joey was so sad and hysterical at this moment.
Martha suddenly changed her mind. They were torturing each other, and neither of them protested. What could she do as an outsider?
âYouâre insane, both of you!â Martha couldnât stand it any longer. She turned around and rushed out of the room.
Philip had been watching Joey hurting Allen and herself with a broken heart. He clenched his fists. What could he do but stand by and watch at the moment? Her screams were breaking his heart.
Sarah covered her mouth with her hands to stop herself from crying out loud. But tears kept running down her cheeks. She felt deeply sorry for Joey.
But her life was miserable too. What could she do but cry along with her friend?
âJoey...â Mr. Lindnerman wept bitterly and trembled with grief.
Mrs. Linderman couldnât decide what to do at first. But she finally shouted, âWhatâs wrong with you all? Sheâs crazy. If you donât stop her, Iâm afraid Allen is going to end up in the hospital too.â
She pushed her husband away and ran out of the room. She shouted at the top of his voice, âHelp! Doctor, doctor, itâs getting out of control here...â
