The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me

Chapter 363 Caught off Guard

But as soon as the juice entered her throat, Joey felt something was wrong. It was very sour, astringent

and spicy. It was like a knife cutting her throat, and the next moment, Joey's stomach and abdomen

began to ache violently.

"Ah..."

Joey cried out in pain. The juice glass fell from her hand and split on the ground. She clenched her

stomach and shrank in pain.

Allen was talking with Paige in the study. Fortunately, the door was ajar. The sound of the glass

breaking was immediately heard by both of them and Allen rushed out of the study first.

"Baby, what's the matter..."

Allen lunged at Joey and nervously wrapped her in his arms.

"She... the juice..."

Joey painfully pointed at Lillian, who was scared, and pointed at the juice on the ground. And then she

could not say a word. Joey looked pale, but she held tight to her hand bags, as inside placed the things

she got in the Charles family. She couldn't leave it.

Paige, who followed, was shocked to see the scene and opened her mouth wide. Joey's pain was

absolutely not fake.

Even though Joey didn't finish it, Allen understood what Joey meant. Allen turned to Paige with an

unnaturally cold face. "Mom, get Lillian, and go to the hospital."

And then he shouted to a servant at the door, "Take some samples of fruit from the ground and come

with me."

Without further delay, he picked up Joey and ran straight to the car outside.

...

When Joey arrived at the hospital, she was nearly unconscious. Allen rushed to the emergency room. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Allen waited anxiously outside the operation room, and Paige sat outside with Lillian. Perhaps she

knew she had done something wrong; Lillian kept her head in Paige's arms, her little hands clutching at

Paige's sleeve, shaking slightly.

Allen didn't yell at her because he was waiting for the result.

In half an hour!

Joey was still under rescue, but the results of the juice test were in.

Looking at the data and letters on the report and listening to the doctor's professional explanation,

Allen's blue veins burst out. The unprecedented anger made Allen look like a raging lion.

"Lillian!"

With a roar, Allen yanked Lillian from Paige's arms. "Tell me," he said angrily, "where did you get the

poison? Why did you poison Joey?"

"Wow..."

Lillian burst into tears. She had never seen Allen so angry, and she was so scared.

"Allen, you're scaring Lillian."

Paige, too, was shocked by Allen's anger. Even though Allen's words took her by surprise, Lillias was

raised by her own. She snatched her from Allen's hand, hugged her in her arms, and cajoled her.

"Lillian, don't be afraid."

Allen was angry this time, and he grabbed Lillian's hand and shouted, "Don't cry," he said, "answer my

questions, or I won't have you anymore. You won't be allowed to live in the house of the Charles

Family."

Allen couldn't figure out how could a three-year-old child do such a horrible thing.

When Lillian heard that, she was even more frightened and cried harder. When she was younger, her

mother Yolanda threatened to throw her out of the Charles family. She was afraid of this and dared not

conceal anything. "Mama taught me... Don't you, Daddy, don't let Lillian go. Lillian's afraid..."

Lillian wasn't lying. When Yolanda knew she and Allen were going to divorce, she took a picture of Joey

and planted the seeds of hatred in Lillian's heart over and over again. Poisoning Lillian was a trick

she'd thought about for a long time and thought it would work very well, because no one would protect

himself against a three-year-old child.

Hearing this, Paige's mouth fell open in shock.

Allen's eyes glared coldly, with no expression on his face. He had guessed it. How a three-year-old

child could have done this without Yolanda behind her, and how a child could have gotten her hands on

a deadly poison?

At that moment, the door of the emergency room opened and Joey was pushed out.

Allen hurried up to. The doctor said with great emotion, "Fortunately, she was delivered in time. If it was

five minutes later, even God can't save her."

After being admitted to the hospital, Joey looked weak but was able to speak.

"Allen, my bag..."

The first thing Joey remembered was her purse, which held her future with Allen.
