The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me novel Chapter 171

At the time, Allen had gone to buy Joey some soup and she was left alone in the ward. She lowered her head and didn’t respond to Mr. Charles’s aggressive criticism.

Joey wasn't in the mood to explain to or argue with Mrs. Chares right now, because Ben Hawk’s threat was hanging over her head like a sword of Damocles. She felt like she couldn't breathe.

Mrs. Charles was infuriated by Joey’s silence. She thought that Joey was deliberately playing dumb with her. She was about to give her a good lecture when Chance walked into the room.

Chance nodded and said noncommittally, “MY mother injured her brain in an accident and became a vegetable when I was little. I was brought up by Aunt Paige. She’s been very nice to me.”

Joey was a little surprised, “How is your mother…”
