The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me novel Chapter 210

“And then what?” Joey stared into Allen’s eyes.

He turned his head slightly to avoid looking her in the eye, “Then…I got drunk and fell asleep in the club.”

“And then?” 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, “That 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…”

“Enough!” Joey closed her eyes and there was a mocking smile on her face. When she opened her eyes, they were shockingly cold and resentful, “Get out! I don’t want to see you.”

Everyone was shocked, including Allen.

“Baby…” Before Allen could say anything, Joey had shouted at him, “Shut up! Don’t call me baby ever again. Get out of here! Didn’t you hear me? I don’t want to see you here. Get out…”

She didn’t want to restrain herself anymore at the moment. Allen’s 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, “Baby, Don’t do that. You’ll hurt yourself.”

“Don’t touch me. Let me go. I hate you. I hate you all. I’ll avenge my baby…”

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 wouldn’t 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 Joey’s parents were stunned.

Frowning, Martha felt sorry for her brother and tried to pull Joey away. But before she could touched Joey, Allen said to her in a trembling voice, “Don’t stop her. Let her. I’ve failed her, and I deserve it.”

If he had been more indifferent to Yolanda last night and hadn’t drunk the glass of wine she handed him, Joey wouldn’t have lost the baby because he hadn’t returned home all night. He would regret it for the rest of his life.

He didn’t 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?

“You’re insane, both of you!” Martha couldn’t 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?

“Joey…” Mr. Lindnerman wept bitterly and trembled with grief.

Mrs. Linderman couldn’t decide what to do at first. But she finally shouted, “What’s wrong with you all? She’s crazy. If you don’t stop her, I’m afraid Allen is going to end up in the hospital too.”

She pushed her husband away and ran out of the room. She shouted at the top of his voice, “Help! Doctor, doctor, it’s getting out of control here…”
