Subconsciously, he probed his head to take a look, and before he could, he was pulled by Joey Xu again. He gave her a heavy look, “Don’t look.”
“Nurse, please be gentle.” Sammy Jones doesn’t bother to look, just dings.
The nurse laughed lowly, “Don’t worry, your boyfriend’s body is in good shape, this injury is serious, but he’s recovering quite well.”
Boyfriend?
Sammy Jones subconsciously glanced at Joey Xu, not only did he not explain, but on the contrary, the corners of his lips raised in a smile. She unconsciously recalled that kiss with Joey Xu that day, her heart fluttered slightly, and she awkwardly retorted, “You misunderstood, he’s not my boyfriend.”
“Not a boyfriend?” The nurse was quite surprised, usually watching them interact, clearly … “Seeing you so worried about him, I thought you were a couple!”
“I’m looking for a boyfriend, not someone like that! However, he’s my benefactor, it’s only right that I worry about him.” Sammy Jones immediately gave himself a reason, and in the process also clubbed Joey Xu to death from the ‘boyfriend’ ranks.
The words weren’t wrong.
Someone like Joey Xu, overbearing, brash, oh, and with a messy relationship, with a Zhao Lanlan, and another one called something like Yuan Yuan, this kind of man certainly wouldn’t be her choice for a boyfriend. So far from the man she wanted!
But, well, for saving his own ass once, he could barely qualify as a hero.
Joey Xu’s face had sunk as soon as he heard her say that. Coldly, she shook off her hand and mocked, “Yeah, you can’t look at a man like me, you can only look at the kind of man who wears the bottom of two beer bottles and is weak!”
Isn’t this about the lawyer she had a blind date with in the restaurant a while back?
“He’s all airy and bookish, okay?” Sammy Jones immediately argued for his opponent.
Joey Xu hummed and laughed, his tone cool, “Looks like this blind date of yours is really going to work out, isn’t it? I see you haven’t called him much in the past two days.”
Sammy Jones’ jaw dropped, “How did you know?”
She called behind Joey Xu’s back every time she called, as it was to talk about the Sifang case. Now when she heard Joey Xu say this, she only thought that Joey Xu knew that she was still concerned about the Sifang Group, and her heart instantly hung in the air.
But in fact Joey Xu, but just with this swindle her a little, did not expect her not only really immediately on the hook, but also told the truth. Now, even more annoyed, sneering, “Then he wants to know that you now every day not only laboriously take care of me, rub my body, wash my feet, feed me, but also be kissed by me, you say, he can still want you?”
He actually said something about being kissed by him in front of outsiders, and Sammy Jones was humiliated and annoyed. The nurse in the back really didn’t hold back and ”pfft” laughed out loud, she instantly blew up. Looking at Joey Xu, she also followed his unctuous tone and opened her mouth: ”It’s fine, after all, it was you who saved me, it’s only right for me to take care of you. As for the kiss, I’ll just take it as being licked by a dog, besides, your kissing skills aren’t that good, if you don’t mention it, I won’t even remember it now.”
This damned woman! How dare she compare him to a dog! And she dares to criticize him for being a bad kisser? This is intolerable!
Joey Xu was just about to lash out when Sammy Jones opened his mouth again.
“But …,” she stood up straight and looked askance at Joey Xu from above, ” Mr. Xu, you sacrificed your life to save me so much, you can’t be liking me, right? If you really like me that much, then talk to me, well, I can consider thinking about it and pick one of you two.”
The nurse continued to laugh.
“I like you?” Joey Xu’s eyes scanned over her, “Sammy Jones, you don’t look at yourself, what part of you is womanly, what part of you is worthy of my liking?”
Sammy Jones was slightly stunned for a moment, his expression narrowed slightly, as if he was thinking, and after a moment, the bottom of his eyes changed to something serious, “Then why did you save me?”
She really wanted to ask him that question. What happened that day had been constantly swaying in her heart, plucking the strings of her heart one by one. There was an inexplicable expectation of an answer in her heart, but, again, she couldn’t tell what it was.
Her question also baffled Joey Xu for a moment. As a matter of fact, Joey Xu couldn’t tell why he was so upset about what happened that day. It was just that when the acid was thrown over and he saw Sammy Jones trembling all over in fear, his heart was so tight that his mind could no longer think properly and he just wanted to protect her in his arms.
Like her?
No way! Like Lan Lan said, women like Sammy Jones who are not gentle and stubborn are not his cup of tea at all. He likes women who are a bit more obedient, gentle and docile. She’s too far from his standards!
“Saving you, of course, is because of the sense of justice in my heart.” Joey Xu finally found out why.
A sense of justice?
Sammy Jones really didn’t want to taunt his, ” Mr. Xu, you have to have a sense of justice, how could things have gotten to this point with the Quartet?”
“So?” Joey Xu raised an eyebrow, “Sammy Jones, you’re not getting ahead of yourself and thinking I like you, are you? If you think so, then I’m really sorry, the one I like is Zhao Lanlan. Even if there is no possibility between her and me now, there is always only her in my heart. And …”
He paused for a moment, not noticing Sammy Jones’ slightly changing face, “Remember what Lanlan said the first time? You’re not my type! She knows exactly what I like.”
Sammy Jones suddenly could not speak. She has always been articulate, and even once she opens her mouth, she has already thought of a set of words how to counterattack back, but, at this moment, but not a word can not be said, only feel the heart heavy, like being stuffed with a ball of cotton.
It’s a little hard.
The nurse also realized the air pressure in the hospital room at the moment, plummeting, and she only stole a glance at Sammy Jones, not daring to laugh again.
Sammy Jones looked back at that glance, took a breath, and spoke in a low voice, “I’m going out for a bit, call me if you need me.”
Without waiting for Joey Xu to say anything, she turned around. However, before she could leave, the door of the ward was abruptly pushed open from outside. Zhao Lanlan was standing at the door, looking at Joey Xu with red eyes and a touching face.
“Joey Xu…” Zhao Lanlan spoke. “I’m sorry, I just found out from Jinchuan that you were in the hospital and I’m late.”
Joey Xu cursed Luo Jinchuan in his heart for being nosy, and subconsciously glanced at Sammy Jones. Sammy Jones had already averted his face so that he couldn’t see her expression at the moment.
“I heard everything you said just now …,” Zhao Lanlan added.
Before Joey Xu could say anything, Sammy Jones had already opened his mouth, “Ms. Zhao, since you heard that, it’s for the best. Actually, Joey Xu and I were never in the kind of relationship you think, I and he …”
“Sammy Jones!” shouted Joey Xu coldly.
Sammy Jones also do not know where the temper comes from, just as if he did not hear, and went on talking, “I am not even a friend with him, every time he took me out to give him as a shield, to make a show to you! In fact, what he really likes is still you, but he is angry that you married someone else, so he dragged me! Ms. Zhao, if you really like her, you should take good care of him and get the misunderstanding out of the way, it’s not like you don’t have a chance if you love each other.”
Joey Xu was off his meds, and got up with a start, yanking Sammy Jones to his feet. his face changed again and again, and there was a clear anger gathering in his face. This damn woman, actually persuading other women to be with him?
“You let go!” Sammy Jones fought to shake him off, “Joey Xu, can you stop pulling at me in front of Ms. Zhao, is it possible that you don’t think the misunderstanding between you two is enough?”
“Damn it, do you know what you’re saying to yourself?” Joey Xu shouted angrily. He didn’t know how he got so angry all of a sudden.
“I’m well aware of that!” Sammy Jones took a step back, “We two were meant to be two strangers, if you ever want to act again, please find another woman, not me! And …”
Taking a deep breath, she tried very hard to suppress the bitterness in her heart that came from nowhere, biting her lip, she said, “Thank you for what you did for justice that day, I’m very grateful. However, I am truly unsuitable for the job of a caretaker, so you’d better hire someone else.”
Joey Xu’s face became more and more ugly, but, she didn’t care, she dumped him and turned around and went out.
“Sammy Jones, don’t you dare leave!”
Looking at the back of that, Joey Xu also do not know where the various complex feelings that run up in the heart comes from, just instinctively do not want her to leave like this. However, Sammy Jones is stubborn and strong, which will be threatened by him? The door slammed, people have long disappeared.
The nurse was carrying the medicine, and the whole person was dumbfounded. Did she … say something wrong? Just her sentence, the result did not expect to make such an end.
“That, Mr. Xu, the medicine on your back is still … not ready,” the nurse spoke with trepidation.
Joey Xu’s lingering anger was not yet gone, “What more medicine? You go out first.”
The nurse didn’t dare to say anything and rushed out with the medicine.
Joey Xu snapped to mind about that son of the Xu family and walked to the bed to get the phone. As soon as Zhao Lanlan saw the injury on his back, he was almost fainted with fear at that moment, “Joey Xu, you … you hurt so badly?”
“It’s just a small matter. Lan Lan, you go first, I have something to do right now, I don’t have time to greet you.” Joey Xu not only didn’t have time now, he didn’t even have the heart. Damn, why is that woman so capricious!
“It’s okay, you don’t have to mind me, I just wanted to come and see you.” Zhao Lanlan blamed herself in her heart. How could she not come until now?
Joey Xu gave her a look, somewhat helpless. Her eyes were still red, he couldn’t bear to draw a tissue and hand it to her, “Wipe it off.”
“Thanks.” Zhao Lanlan had joy in her heart and took the tissue, sitting down on the sofa. Joey Xu didn’t care about her anymore and hung up the phone for Goodben to go.
“Sir.” Yoshimoto was immediately respectful at the sound of his voice.
“Did you catch Xu Guohua’s son?” Joey Xu split his head and asked.
“I’ve placed eyeballs in all the places where Miss Jones might appear, but, there’s absolutely no sign of him hanging out. Now that the wind is blowing, and since Xu Guohua, his wife, has just been arrested, it’s possible for him to hide for a few days.”
Damn!
“When did you become so inefficient?” Joey Xu had anger in his heart.
Realizing that he was in a bad mood, Sunamoto didn’t dare answer. Joey Xu held the phone and walked around, but still spoke, “Tie Sammy Jones back to me, no matter what method you use.”
Hearing that name, Zhao Lanlan was slightly stunned.
“Miss Jones?” wondered Yoshimoto, “Hasn’t Miss Jones been taking care of you in the hospital sir?”
“No, just ran away. Get her back to me within the day, and if she won’t, tie her up or knock her out and bring her here, whatever!”
“Yes, right away.” Where did Zenimoto dare to slow down after receiving such a notification? Hanging up the phone, he immediately went to set up.
Running out of the hospital and standing on the street, Sammy Jones took a deep breath, trying to drive away the haze that had settled in her chest. However, she didn’t know what was wrong with her, when she thought of what he said, and thought of Zhao Lanlan, her chest felt like a boulder was pressed down.
