Chapter 211
The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me
Mrs. Lindermanâs cry immediately attracted the attention of all the people in the corridor. Chance, who had been hiding in the dark and watching everything, finally showed up in time. He looked very worried. He rushed into the room, took a syringe out of her pocket without saying a word, and gave Joey an injection in the neck.
Once the medicine kicked in, Joey, who had been hysterically biting Allen, suddenly quieted down. Her hands and legs went weak. She closed his eyes, and fell into Allenâs arms, as if she had suddenly fallen asleep.
âWhat did you do to her?â
Chance moved so quickly that Allen couldnât have stopped him. He was very confused and worried.
âDonât worry. I just gave her a sedative to help control her condition.
Chance looked very serious. When he saw Allenâs scratches and bites, he suggested, âYouâve been hurt like this by her. Why donât you come with me and take care of the wounds?â
âNo, I donât want to leave her. You have to take care of the wounds right here.â
Allen put Joey in bed slowly. Although she had fallen asleep, he still wanted to stay with her.
Chance couldnât argue with him, so he asked Sarah and Mr. Linderman to leave the room for a while to give Allen some privacy. Then he sent for some disinfectant to treat Allenâs bruises.
âUncle, Auntie, Iâm going to another hospital to visit my brother. Iâll see Joey tomorrow.â
Sarah found that it was time for her to see her younger brother Patrick today. He would be waiting for her. She had to go.
Mr. Linderman nodded feebly, âWell, see you tomorrow. Please give our regards to Patrick.â
Just then, Philip suddenly said to Sarah, âIâd like to go see Patrick with you. The last time I saw him was a month ago.â
He had dated Sarah for a few years, so he and her brother naturally knew each other, but the little guy liked him very much.
He had dated Sarah for a few years, so he had naturally known Patrick very well. The boy had always liked him very much.
There was nothing he could do at the hospital anyway. He was in no position to take care of Joey, whether she was awake or asleep.
âWell, letâs go!â
Sarah was well aware that Philip wasnât feeling well at the moment. She nodded with a smile, and they left the hospital together.
As soon as Sarah and Philip had left, Mrs. Linderman became restless. She touched her husbandâs shoulder and said, âJoey is now in hospital. I guess Vivian and Ben havenât gotten the news yet. Itâs not far from where they live anyway. Iâm going to tell them about it.â
She got up and was about to leave.
âStop!â Mr. Lindermanâs face suddenly became very grave. He certainly knew what his wife was thinking. He shouted at her, âI know you donât want to stay here with Joey. Iâm totally fine with it. But there is no need to tell either of them about Joeyâs condition. I wonât allow them to come to the hospital to upset Joey. You can go now.â
âYou stubborn old man...All right, Iâll leave. Of course I wonât stay here, because she isnât my daughter. Why should I stay with her? Huh!â
Mrs. Linderman lost her temper when her husband had read her mind. She turned around and left angrily.
It was a rare opportunity for her to go to the bustling city, so she had planned to go on a shopping spree with her daughter Vivian. With all the lovely things in the city, she would hate to waste her time in the hospital.
Watching his wife leaving indifferently, Mr. Linderman couldnât help feeling disappointed.
Maybe it was a good thing that she had left. Her cold-heartedness and impatience would only annoy him if she stayed.
Therefore, Mr. Linderman and Allen, the two men who loved Joey most in the world, began to take turns to take care of her in the hospital.
Mr. Linderman took care of Joey during the day, because Allen had to go to work. Allen took care of her during the night.
Time flew. Ten days had passed in the blink of an eye.
During the past ten days, Joey had eaten regularly, but she hadnât said a word. She had just been lying motionlessly in bed all day long and staring at the ceiling with wide, empty and unfocused eyes. She wouldnât respond to anyone.
She looked like someone with dementia.
Allen and her father had talked to her every day, trying to get a response out of her, but she remained silent.
Allen had suspected that there was something wrong with Joeyâs body. But Chance told him that she had recovered very quickly and she had some mental problems.
Chance implied that Joey had gone medically insane.

But it was evident from her motionless and empty eyes that she couldnât even recognize him. He had to call in her former psychiatrist. But even the best psychiatrist couldnât do anything to help a silent patient.
