Girl Get Rid Of That Jerk (Williams and Shawn) novel Chapter 167

Joy felt a twinge in her heart, a mix of emotion and empathy. “Don’t worry, Peyton. Ms. Allison is really kind. She won’t mind at all, so you can relax a bit.”

Joy reached out, about to pat Peyton’s head gently.

Because of the chemotherapy, Peyton had lost all her hair and always wore a fluffy pink hat when she went out. Joy knew London had given it to Peyton and she cherished it like a treasure.

Joy’s feelings were all over the place, her eyes stinging slightly. Her hand hung in the air for a moment before she softly lowered it to touch Peyton’s hat.

“Don’t worry, Peyton. Ms. Allison will definitely help with your brother’s case!”

“Okay, okay.” Peyton’s tension faded, and she grinned. “Thank you, Ms. Joy and Ms. Allison.”

From the back seat, Allison listened to their conversation and sighed deeply to herself.

What a tough life they’ve got.

Why did misfortune always seem to hit those who were already struggling?

Allison had a big heart and compassion for others, so she felt deeply moved by these situations. Her eyes brimmed with unshed tears. She took a moment to pull herself together, then turned to the back. “Joy, could you help Peyton with her seatbelt?”

“Sure.”

London and Peyton were both staying in the same hospital. It was a typical public hospital, with four beds crammed into a small room.

It was early winter, and a cold wind whipped outside. The temperatures were low, so the windows of the ward were tightly shut.

As soon as Allison walked in, she got a whiff of the sour smell coming from the man on the bed near the door. It seemed like he hadn’t bathed in days, and she had to fight back a gag.

She frowned, pushing through her discomfort as she followed Peyton to the back.

London was on the innermost bed. He was leaning against a pillow, staring out the window at the falling leaves.

“London,” Peyton called softly.

London turned his head right away. “Peyton, you're here. Have you had lunch?”

Peyton nodded with a smile. “Yeah!”
