The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me novel Chapter 194

Philip froze for a second and soon realized that Joey was referring to Allen.

“Why?” Philip couldn’t understand it, “Allen is on his way here. He should be here soon.”

Joey shook her head painfully, “I’m sick now. I’m afraid I’ll lose control when I see Allen. I don’t want to fight with him and upset him…”

She was worried that Allen would dislike her for it.

Philip was shocked, “No, it won’t. I’m afraid you’re oversensitive. Allen loves you very much. He certainly won’t dislike you for anything. He will freak out if you refuse to see him.”

He hated to give Joey up to Allen, but he knew Allen was the only one who could relieve her psychological pain at the moment.

Joey gradually calmed down.

She had tried to avoid Allen a moment ago, but she couldn’t wait to see him right now.

Joey had to admit that she had lost control of her emotions.

Allen arrived at the hospital soon.

He was shocked to learn that Joey had been diagnosed with depression during pregnancy. He was both self-condemned and heartbroken. Words were not enough to express how he felt at this moment. He had been told by the maid Eighteen before he left for the hospital that Yolanda had paid a visit to his family today.

He didn’t know what Yolanda had done to Joey, but he knew Yolanda should be held responsible for Joey’s current conditions.

“Baby, I’m sorry. I should have told you about Yolanda. I thought she was just an ex-girlfriend from college and we hadn’t spoken to each other for four years. I didn’t expect her to be so crazy.” Allen held Joey’s hands and explained carefully.

He had gotten it straight with Yolanda. He had refused her flatly. But he hadn’t expected that Yolanda would be so extreme and unreasonable on her return from abroad. He could hardly recognize her now.

Joey looked up to stare into Allen’s eyes, “Allen, I just have one question. Why did you fall in love with me?”

Allen was surprised. He hadn’t thought about it before. He just had fallen in love with her for no reason.

However, a moment of silence was easily taken as hesitation for Joey. She believed that he was afraid to tell her the truth.

Joey took a step back and smiled sadly, “You fell in love with me because of Yolanda, is it true? We looked very much alike from behind, am I right?”

Allen was perplexed to hear it, “Baby, what are you talking about? You two looked alike from behind? Did Yolanda say something to you? Do’t believe anything she says. I’ve had nothing to do with her long ago. I love you for who you are. I promise.”

“Really?” Joey believed that he was telling the truth.

It might just be a coincidence that she and Yolanda looked alike from behind.

Besides, Allen had broken up with Yolanda four years ago when he met Joey. How could he have remembered what Yolanda’s back looked like?

Joey gradually believed that she had asked for it herself.

How could she have doubted Allen’s love just because of Yolanda’s sabotage?

Joey closed her eyes and took a deep breath. When she opened them again, she was more sober-minded and determined. She looked at Allen lovingly and said, “Allen, I love you so much!”

Allen was a little surprised by her bold love confession. He gently held her in his arms with a smile and said softly, “You silly girl, I love you very much too.”

Philip, who had been watching them in silence, put on a faint smile on his face at the sight. He turned around and left.

He wasn’t needed here anymore.

“Baby, I’m taking you to meet a friend of mine who is a very good psychiatrist. I will ask him to give you a psychological evaluation and then make a treatment plan for your condition. What do you say?”

Allen carefully weighted his choice of words at the thought of Joey’s condition. He would hate to upset her.

Joey was amused, “Allen, you don’t need to be so careful. It isn’t as serious as you think. But I agree with you if you want to take me to see a psychiatrist. I don’t want to be so paranoid, either. It’s exhausting.”

They got in the car and went to see Allen’s psychiatrist friend.

It was lunch break when they drove past the CL Group.

Joey saw Vivian in the secretarial uniform walking out the front door of the company with her chin held high, like a proud peacock. Suddenly someone in light green clothes rushed to her and grabbed her hair from behind. Vivian was slapped hard in the face for four or five times.

Joey hurriedly turned to Allen and said, “Allen, stop the car!”
