Before Sammy Jones could say anything, Joey Xu was mumbling with that thermometer in his mouth, and the doctor didn’t know what he was saying, but Sammy Jones did understand. The guy was clearly saying he wasn’t gentle at all!
She pinched his ear in exasperation, “You’re sick and you’re still so nosy! If you can’t talk, say less.”
Joey Xu’s eyes widened as if he was accusing her of ‘bad behavior’. She ‘snorted’ and withdrew her hand. Just as well! Seeing that he was still a patient, not to bother with him!
A moment later, the doctor drew the thermometer and reported 39°. before Sammy Jones could say anything, Joey Xu immediately accused her, “Evil bitch!”
Sammy Jones didn’t bother with him, only with the doctor, “What’s with the sudden fever?”
“It’s caused by an infection in the wound. You come over with me first, and I’ll write a prescription and go down and get the medicine. You’ll have to hang on to the saline solution now, and I expect the fever will come down in the morning.”
“All right then. Please, doctor.”
Sammy Jones promised the doctor on his side, and then turned his head to Joey Xu, “You rest for a while, the doctor and I will be right up. You call me if anything happens.”
Joey Xu felt that this woman was really treating him like a child. It’s only been a short while since he left, why are you so critical? She was so nagging! If it were normal, he would have said ‘nagging’ to him. However, at this moment, he felt that this kind of feeling was surprisingly good, this kind of time of being taken care of, when he thought about it in a trance, it seemed to be very few and far between.
In front of his men and bystanders, he would always be strong. Once he exposed his weaknesses he could be ambushed.
Sammy Jones followed the doctor out and he was left alone in the entire hospital room. The wound on his back, which hurt terribly, had worsened again after today’s drastic activities. However, he didn’t feel annoyed. Just lying on the bed like this, not only was there someone feeding him and holding up the papers for him, there was also someone who was sincerely and dutifully taking care of him.
After taking the medicine up, the nurse gave him an IV. As a result, Sammy Jones stayed up the whole night, afraid that the IV would be finished, but no one would give him a chance to rip the needle in time. Several times, when Joey Xu opened his eyes, he saw her sitting on the sofa, looking at something, his eyes glancing at the IV bottle on his head from time to time.
In the light, she looked soft and slightly tired. However, always holding her eyes strong to keep from falling asleep.
Only when Sammy Jones’s needle was removed did Sammy Jones finally sleep at ease. The next day, Joey Xu reluctantly sat up from the bed, and at a glance, he saw the woman who was nestled on the sofa sleeping soundly, and the corner of his lips lifted up, with a lot more soft affection in his eyes. He hugged the quilt and carefully covered her, so as not to freeze her with the cold air in the room.
In the past few days, there was finally good news from the Good Book. All of the Xu family members have been caught! So, Sammy Jones’ danger alert was immediately revoked.
“Really? So I can go back now?” Sammy Jones asked Goodbourne gleefully.
Zenbon nodded and glanced at Joey Xu, who was blushing slightly, then said, “In theory, but … implementing it, we may still have to ask what Mr. said.”
“Him?” Sammy Jones swiped a glance at Joey Xu, “He sure doesn’t have much to say.”
Sammy Jones had picked up all the changes of clothes she’d brought with her, and her computer, all her materials in one pile, and looked like she was leaving soon. After being away from home for so many days, she was really looking forward to going back for a bit. Pack up all her stuff, take a comfortable shower again, and then make some soup to bring over …
“Sammy Jones, will you go too far?” She had only just picked up her bag when Joey Xu grabbed it roughly and threw it hard onto the couch.
She was a little puzzled, watching him fume, “I’m just going home, what’s too much?”
Joey Xu grunted, “You really think I’m a safe haven, don’t you?”
“…” she was even more innocent, “Isn’t your place originally a haven? Outside so many people handle, Xu family people simply can not enter, here is originally the safest.”
He was so angry that he was speechless, and then, he mockingly spoke, “You can be so realistic ah you! You stayed here to keep you safe, and now that the danger is over, you leave immediately without hesitation!”
Sammy Jones finally understood at this point. He turned out to be angry with her for leaving him alone in the hospital with no one to take care of him once the danger was over.
What a stingy man! How much could it cost to find a caretaker, and he had to tie her up here. But she owed him this, so naturally she had no complaints.
It’s just that when he misunderstands himself she favors not wanting to explain.
Ginyin smiled, similar to a sunflower, ”Didn’t you tie me back before to keep me safe? Now I’m safe wherever I go, so, of course, I can’t keep guarding the hospital all the time. Well, I’ll take my first step.”
Sammy Jones really carried something and left the hospital room, this side of Joey Xu angry face gloomy, but, for a moment really can not find any reason to stay her again.
Damn it!
What kind of good news is this that Zenbon has brought back?
All afternoon, Sammy Jones first took a comfortable shower at home while nestled on the couch for a snack. She was really tired from the past few days in the hospital, and now she was just resting and relaxing. Le Mei called and gossiped with her about her and Joey Xu.
“Tell me honestly, if you haven’t come to the office for so long, are you in love with Joey Xu, so much so that you don’t even want to work anymore?”
Sammy Jones rolled his eyes, “What kind of relationship is that? Can’t you be more innocent and get into that stuff!”
“What’s wrong with that? You’re pretending, don’t you dare say you two haven’t been together the last few days?”
“Yes, it’s in one piece, but we’re simple, it’s not what you think!”
“Yo, all grown men and women, how old are you and still innocent. So can you guarantee that you didn’t sleep together?”
Sammy Jones blushed and couldn’t help but remember that day in the hospital room when he was almost forced by Joey Xu. That asshole! He cursed in his heart, but when he chatted with Le Mei, he said decisively and competently, “Of course not!”
“Hmph! No kissing?!”
At this, Sammy Jones didn’t know what to say.
When Le Mei heard she was silent, she immediately raised 12 points of spirit, “Sammy Jones, so you guys are really in that relationship ah? Damn, you’re really rich, he revoked his license, but you still got such an affair. From now on, you should stick to Joey Xu, be his girlfriend, and then find a way to hang on to him, marry him and you’ll get back all the money you spent on lawsuits for several lifetimes.”
“Marry him? Unless I’m crazy!” Sammy Jones hated him with a passion inside.
“If you have this kind of idea, you are really crazy! Joey Xu is so excellent, how many women want can’t even come, you still dare to say this kind of big words.”
“But it’s true that there are many women who want it, it’s not really my turn! Big sister, stop talking such nonsense, he has his own favorite woman.”
“So what? Even if you like someone else, as long as you’re not married, you have a chance. Haven’t you heard? As long as the hoe is wielded well, there’s no wall that can’t be dug down!”
Le Mei was still chattering away, and the more she talked, the less reliable she became, and Sammy Jones had no choice but to make an excuse and hang up the phone in the end. After hanging up, she went back to the kitchen to make chicken soup, and came back to re-lay on the sofa.
Joey Xu, apart from being a bit bad-mouthed and overbearing, is actually a very good person.
Just …
How could it be possible, her and him? Joey Xu only has Zhao Lanlan in his heart.
And …
It was only because of this accident that they were tied together. After he was healed and discharged from the hospital, they went their separate ways, each going their own way. From then on, they might just be two strangers who will never meet again. …
Realizing this, Sammy Jones only felt a sudden refreshing coldness in his heart, as if it had rained, wet and a little hard.
Panting softly, she closed her eyes to keep herself from thinking further. A life without any interactions with Joey Xu was what she wanted to live. Plain, peaceful, and quiet. This was the life that she, Sammy Jones, deserved!
At four o’clock in the afternoon, Sammy Jones changed his clothes and arrived at the hospital with a thermos flask, all fresh and clean. Before he even went in, he heard Joey Xu fuming.
“How dare you bring out this kind of program to me? Yoshimoto, when did our company need to work with this kind of company?” Then, there was the sound of a document being thrown heavily on the ground, “Three days! Give them three more days, if the quality is still the same, you can just pass them out and don’t have to come back to waste your time with me!”
Sammy Jones curiously gently pushed a gap to look in. joey Xu body draped in a hospital gown, sitting there, frowning tightly, usually some bad, but work up the appearance of extraordinarily serious, and a kind of indescribable majesty and vigor.
This was the first time Sammy Jones had seen him like this. He used to think that people like him were dodgy and bad-mouthed, but now he looked like he had misunderstood him.
“Yes, sir. I’ll let the other company know again.” Yoshimoto didn’t dare to say anything more, and picked up the documents without daring to utter a word.
“Who’s at the door?” Joey Xu bellowed coldly, his eyes glaring towards the doorway, the sternness in his eyes unabated, startling Sammy Jones into jumping, a little aggravated, “It’s me.”
Seeing her, Joey Xu’s face slightly slowed down. Thinking of something, her eyes went cold again, “Didn’t you already go back? Now that you don’t need me to protect you, why are you still here?”
It looked like he was still really angry.
“How petty!” Sammy Jones pushed his way in, resting the chicken soup in his hand on the bed, “I went back for this.”
“What the hell is this?” Joey Xu’s face still hasn’t eased.
Sammy Jones’ lips twitched in exasperation, “Forget it then, forget it!”
She took the chicken soup back into her arms. Joey Xu saw her precious look and reached out to carry her over, she was afraid that he would pull the wound again, she didn’t dare to have a big movement to struggle, and her mouth didn’t forget to remind him, “Don’t move, if you pull the wound back, you are going to stay in the hospital for the rest of your life!”
“Can you talk anymore? If I really live here for the rest of my life, you’ll have to stay here with me for the rest of your life!”
The words lifetime made Sammy Jones freeze and subconsciously glance at him.
This man, in the end, did he know how significant the three words “lifetime” were, and actually said them so easily.
Joey Xu didn’t know what was going through Sammy Jones’ mind at the moment, and with one reach, he took what she was holding in her arms, not forgetting to pick her up by the back of the neck with his other hand.
“Hey, open it.” Joey Xu pushed the thermos in front of her.
She resigned herself to twisting the lid open. An aroma came to her nose, and the chicken soup was still steaming, all the way into Joey Xu’s eyes and heart …
He didn’t say anything for a long time, just stared in awe. She had simmered it so lightly that the layer of oil floating on the broth had been carefully teased clean, and the chicken looked even more tender and delicious.
