Can't Get Away With You novel Chapter 40

His wife had not returned home, and his child was having a high fever. That was how he dealt with it!

As Van noticed that Yolanda looking at him with disapproval, Van snorted coldly and turned his head away.

Seeing that Van didn't say anything more, Yolanda looked away and turned around to see the tired look on Joey's face. She felt sorry for him.

"Where is Lois?"

Joey lowered his head but said nothing.

Seeing her son's stubborn look, Yolanda said in a low but deep voice, "the child is having a high fever. As a father, you are busy with your work. Where on earth has she been as a mother?"

Joey's heart sank. He was afraid that this broken family would continue to suffer from external storms. He turned his face away and admitted his mistake. "Maggie was almost recovered. It was me who opened the window last night that caused her high fever."

Yolanda was even more depressed. her child had learned to defend others, but why did he blame himself for everything!

"Grandma..."Yolanda heard her weak voice. Looking at her granddaughter's pale face and bloodless lips, she stepped forward with concern.

Maggie looked at his grandmother, who she hadn't seen for a long time, and felt wronged. As soon as Yolanda pulled the little girl into her arms, she saw that her eyes were already red, and there were two teardrops in her eyes. "I want my mother. Can you let her come back home?"

Yolanda had always been fond of Maggie. She looked at Joey with disappointment, but coaxed her gently, "Okay, grandma let mom come back home."

After a pause, Maggie shook her head and cried, "No. don't let mom come back. She will feel uncomfortable when she gets sick."

Puzzled, Yolanda glanced at Joey and scolded, "tell me what happened!"

Noticing the fear of the little girl in her arms, Yolanda gently patted on Maggie's back and said, "Maggie, don't be afraid. Dad is disobedient. Grandma is talking about Dad!"

Joey had no choice but to speak out the fact that Lois had been hospitalized a few days ago, in order to defend her.

Van glanced at Joey and said, "nothing is your excuse. Even if Lois gets sick all year round, she can't even stay away from Maggie for a few days! Tell me what Maggie meant by "let her mother come back"! "

Joey was speechless. What should he say? Did he say that he didn't allow Lois to see Maggie and made Lois too angry to the hospital?

Should he that Lois wanted to divorce because she thought he didn't care about the family, so he planned to use the child as a stalling tactic?

Looking at her son's slightly embarrassed look, Yolanda sighed softly. Were they better when they were young? Thinking of Van's illegitimate child, Yolanda patted on Maggie's back and said, "let the young people solve their problems on their own."

As expected, Van didn't say anything more. Looking at his mother's disappointed and helpless expression, Joey thought of Van's romantic affairs, he hated his father more.

"Grandma, It was so cold last night Maggie was freezing. "The little girl looked at Yolanda with her misty eyes and she seemed tired.

Clenching his fists, Joey felt guilty.

Looking at her son's expression, Yolanda completely believed in Joey's words. Last night, he really kept the window open and let the child suffer the cold with him!

Yolanda held the little girl tightly and patted her on the back to lull her to sleep.

After Maggie fell asleep, Yolanda gently put her down and walked out of the room with Joey and his father.
