Joey Xu patted her hand comfortingly, as if to tell her that he was fine.
Sammy Jones looked at the injuries on his face, still sad, “Joey Xu, I’m sorry … I shouldn’t have not listened to your explanation, I shouldn’t have run away without authorization … that’s why you and Mingfan were both so badly injured .”
“It was the bodyguard’s dereliction of duty. But … just want to say sorry to me? I think I heard someone say three other words when I was sleeping. Well … was it my hallucination?”
Joey Xu looked at her searchingly, with a few urges in his eyes.
In fact, he was genuinely unsure.
He thought it was mostly because he was dreaming that he heard Sammy Jones say the words ‘I love you’. But then he opened his eyes and realized that she was actually there.
Sammy Jones’ eyes are heavy with tenderness and laughter. She bent her head slightly closer to Joey Xu, and her lips were almost on his ear. The smile on Joey Xu’s lips deepened, and his heart had already raised a little bit of anticipation.
But …
Instead, she opened her mouth, “Generally speaking, sick people are prone to hallucinations. I guess, you must have been sitting in a beautiful dream because you wanted to hear those three words so badly.”
So …
Are you being played?
Joey Xu wrapped his long arms around her and hugged her. Her body was hugged so much that she almost pressed on him, she let out a cry of surprise and hurriedly propped her arms on his side, her body supporting herself not to press on him.
“You get off of me! Watch out I’m crushing you!”
Joey Xu cupped her lower jaw with one hand and pulled her face down, “Usually I’m the one who presses you more in bed, this time I’m opening up to let you do it.”
“…” She was speechless!
What kind of man is this? At a time like this, he’s still in the mood to say such things!
“Stop it, get off me.” Sammy Jones was so afraid of touching the injuries on his body that he didn’t quite dare even struggle hard enough.
“Letting go of you is fine, then you say those three words to me now.” Joey Xu began to play a trick, Sammy Jones is actually a self-respecting and thin-skinned person, to say those three words would have been very difficult. Moreover, now is still this kind of situation.
But …
As soon as I saw the injury on his face, my heart was sore and everything in my heart poured out, “Joey Xu, I want to marry you, I love you …”
Joey Xu’s eyes shifted, and there was a burning light flashing from the bottom of her eyes. Her cheeks reddened at that look, but her eyes were still fixed on him, “So, don’t let yourself get hurt again, not even if it’s to save me …”
Joey Xu’s heart moved so much that hearing her confess to herself was like a dream.
“Idiot, don’t let yourself be the one to get hurt again!”
There was guilt in her eyes, “I was too impulsive.”
She was having an impulse. Just like the impulse to help Luo Mingfan seek justice, a fearless impulse. But wasn’t it because of this impulse that he fell in love with her?
Joey Xu cupped her face and moved to kiss her. From the eyebrows, to the bridge of the nose, to the lips …
She closed her eyes and felt the scent and warmth that belonged to him.
That’s nice …
They didn’t separate.
They … are well together again …
Luo Mingfan is also at Blue Mountain Hospital.
After Sammy Jones came out of Joey Xu’s hospital room, he asked Sunben to get some fruits and flowers before heading towards Luo Mingfan’s hospital room.
When she entered, Luo Mingfan was still lying on the bed, awake. One leg was hanging high, obviously hurting the bones.
Sammy Jones felt hard and guilty inside. After knocking on the door and hearing Luo Jing’s voice, he pushed the door in. Seeing her, Luo Mingfan was so excited that he had to sit up, “Sammy Jones, are you okay? I heard that you were kidnapped?”
Those eyes were full of concern.
“Brother, don’t move!” Luo Jing pressed him down, “You’re all hurt like this now! You’re the only family member I have left, can you take it easy?”
Sammy Jones put down the things in his hand and hurried over, “I’m fine, don’t worry about me. Listen to Luo Jing, lie down first.”
Luo Jing settled Luo Mingfan to lie down before greeting Sammy Jones, “Lawyer Ye.”
She seemed to look a bit awkward, even the smile on her face was forced. Sammy Jones couldn’t help but look twice more, his heart was strange, but he didn’t ask much. He just looked at Luo Mingfan, “How’s your leg? What did the doctor say?”
“Don’t worry, it’s just a minor problem. You’ll be able to walk as usual after the cast is removed in a few days.”
“What about other places?”
“The rest of the place is just a few superficial wounds.”
Hearing him say that, Sammy Jones let out a long sigh of relief. Somewhat apologetically, she looked at him, “It’s my fault. If you didn’t do it to protect me …”
“Aren’t I fine now? Don’t take it to heart. If it was someone else sitting in your position, I would have done the same. On the contrary, you, Joey Xu said you were kidnapped, what happened? Were you injured?”
At the mention of Joey Xu, Sammy Jones clearly felt Luo Jing’s eyes casting towards her. It was then that she realized that she was aware of her relationship with Joey Xu.
“You see, I am better than all of you. On the contrary, it’s Joey Xu, who was tortured by them for my sake …” At the mention of this, a layer of gray clouded her eyes.
Luo Jing added from the sidelines, “He deserved it!”
“Luo Jing!” Luo Mingfan’s tone was slightly heavy.
“What I said was originally the truth. Lawyer Ye, I just can’t figure it out, my brother is so good, he can do anything for you, how come you don’t dare to move at all, instead you are with that gangster rascal? Look, my brother got hurt, you got kidnapped, is it all because of him? With him, do you still have a peaceful life?”
Luo Jing was filled with indignation when she spoke of Joey Xu. Naturally, it was because of what happened to the Four Directions Group.
Listening to others say so Joey Xu, Sammy Jones heart is not good, want to defend Joey Xu, but, for a moment and do not know what to say.
“Rocking, you go out first, I have something to say to Sammy Jones.”
Luo Jing glanced at Luo Mingfan and then at Sammy Jones before she reluctantly got up. Walking to the door, she couldn’t help but turn back and urge, “Brother, don’t move around, you’re hurt!”
“Got it.” Luo Mingfan smiled faintly and waved his hand, signaling her to go out first.
Luo Jing went out and only Sammy Jones and Luo Mingfan were left in the whole ward.
Luo Mingfan helplessly looked at Sammy Jones, “My sister is this kind of nature, she will say whatever is in her heart, don’t bother with her.”
“Having dealt with her for so many times, don’t I know her nature? Besides …,” Sammy Jones paused, “it’s only right that she has a stigma against Joey Xu after what happened with your company last time.”
“What about him? How’s it going? He went to save you, is everything okay?”
Speaking of Joey Xu, Sammy Jones had a few worried looks on his face, “Just out of surgery, seems to be doing well, waking up.”
Luo Mingfan looked at her worried but unable to hide her gentle face, he smiled a little and tried to hide the astringency in his tone before saying, “You and he should have cleared up any misunderstandings by now, right?”
“You know there’s a misunderstanding between us?”
Luo Mingfan shook his head, ”I didn’t hear him say anything about what happened between you two, but I could see it when I saw him rushing over anxious at the scene that day. He really likes you. Later, when he realized that you were kidnapped, he almost didn’t go crazy.”
Now hearing an outsider say that he cared about himself, Sammy Jones only felt sweetness in her heart. A lot of things, it’s all about the authorities and the onlookers.
“Sammy Jones … “Looking at the sweet look on her face, Luo Mingfan astringent at the same time in his heart more is pleased, “Originally, you and Joey Xu together, I am more worried. So, when see him and other women together, my first thought is to tell you, I do not want you to be fooled. However, now I am completely relieved.”
Sammy Jones looked up at him.
“Although with him, there may be some unavoidable dangers. However, he was able to lay down his life to save you. Based on this alone, I also believe that he truly loves you.” Luo Mingfan sincerely spoke for Joey Xu.
Sammy Jones smiled and nodded, “I know.”
“Actually, by calling Luo Jing out, I just want to sincerely wish you happiness.” Luo Mingfan took a deep-eyed look at Sammy Jones and opened his arms.
Sammy Jones smiles gleefully and hugs him.
Not letting go for a moment, she simply whispered in his ear, moved to speak, “Thank you, Ming Fan. Thank you for saving me, and thank you for your blessing.”
“Remember to send me invitations when you do get married someday.”
Sammy Jones backed away from his arms, “I’ll be sure to deliver it myself!”
During the days of staying in the hospital, Zhao Lanlan came. Another explanation with Sammy Jones, Sammy Jones heart has long been open.
Jo Yuanyuan was here too.
However, before they can see Joey Xu, they are stopped outside the hospital room by the Good Book.
Ten days later, Joey Xu was almost recovered and went back to the villa, Sammy Jones didn’t want him to go back to work so soon and begged him to take a vacation, but he only said that he still had a lot of urgent matters to deal with.
Business is business, and Sammy Jones really can’t help it.
On this day, returning to the villa from work, Joey Xu still hadn’t returned.
Sammy Jones hung up the phone with Joey Xu with worry in her heart. Sister Ann glanced at her and asked, “Is Mr. not coming back for dinner again?”
“Well, probably still busy, there’s a meeting going on over there at the moment.”
“Sir’s injury has only just healed, can your body survive working so hard?”
Isn’t that what she’s worried about?
Sammy Jones thought for a moment, “Sister An, make a few of Joey Xu’s favorite dishes tonight and I’ll send them over for him.”
“Good.”
Sister Ann answered and hurriedly opened the refrigerator and went to prepare the evening’s menu.
Sammy Jones intended to give Joey Xu a surprise. So, without calling, he went straight to Yung’s downstairs. At this point, it was already completely dark. The whole city was shrouded in darkness.
Rong’s building, only a few floors of lights were left on. Compared to the daytime, the entire building seemed very quiet at the moment.
The company’s security staff naturally recognized her, and when they saw her coming over, they immediately greeted her eagerly and asked if they wanted to notify General Manager Rong. She smiled and refused, thinking of the man upstairs who was still busy, her heart ached.
It’s so late and I don’t know if I’ve had any random food to pad my stomach.
When Sammy Jones arrived upstairs, Joey Xu had already finished her meeting and was in her office. Goodburn was slightly surprised to see her, “Miss Jones, what brings you here?”
“Have you had dinner yet?” Sammy Jones asked him.
“Too busy and haven’t cared yet.”
“You guys are too careless.” Sammy Jones took a packed food box out of the bag and handed it to Goodburn, “I packed this for you, it should still be warm, hurry up and eat it.”
Looking at the exquisite meal, Goodburn smiled gratefully, “Thank you. Would you like me to go put a message through to Mr. Xu now?”
“No, no need. I’ll just go in by myself.”
“Good, then I’ll trouble Miss Jones to bring this document to the gentleman as well. I’ll just sit here and concentrate on my food.”
Goodbourne handed her a file, and Sammy Jones walked to the office door with it, knocking lightly on the door for a moment before Joey Xu’s voice could be heard coming through.
“Come in.”
Sammy Jones pushes the door open and enters to see Joey Xu, not even looking up, leaning back on the couch, tapping away with his laptop, his brow furrowed.
