The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me novel Chapter 142

David fell apart at the sight. He shook his head with fear and shouted, “You’re insane! Stop hurting yourself. You’ll bleed to death if you don’t. I won’t touch you ever again…”

He was practically sobbing at the end. He had never seen such a horrifying scene before as a privileged young man from a rich family.

All he wanted to do at the moment was get out of here, because Joey had apparently gone mad. But the door was locked from the outside and he couldn’t leave even if he wanted to. Paralyzed with fear on the floor, he deeply regretted having followed Mrs. Linderman’s advice.

“Do you expect me…to believe you?”

Joey had lost so much blood that she started to feel light-headed. But she managed to keep her eyes wide open to stare at David warily. Her smile was sad. She disappointedly shook her head and murmured, “I trusted you. I’ve trusted many people in the world, but…look at what has happened to me. You…all of you…have betrayed my trust…”

She didn’t stay awake for quite long. Finding herself losing consciousness again, she decided to raise the knife to cut her arm again.

All of a sudden, there came a loud noise and the door was kicked open from outside by three men. They stormed into the room like three raging lions.

Looking up, she thought she was dreaming when she saw the face of one of them.

But the next second, she was pulled into his warm and familiar arms and his voice was so loving and real.

“Oh, baby, baby, baby…”

Allen Charles hugged her tightly and it was heartbreaking to hear his voice again, “You're so silly. How could you be so cruel to yourself, baby…Chance, please treat her wounds. Quick!”

They had come to her rescue, Allen, Chance and Martin.
