The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me novel Chapter 237

In her second month of marriage, Yolanda had claimed she was pregnant, saying that the baby had been conceived in the hotel room on the night when Allen got drunk at the Elsner Club.

Therefore, even though Allen had never slept with Yolanda after marriage, she had managed to give birth to their child to secure her position as Mrs. Charles and the mayor’s wife.

At the Reston Hotel, when Joey finally opened the door and emerged with Philip, she found Allen, who had been waiting at the door the whole night, was red-eyed. Always a clean and tidy man, his chin was now covered with fine stubble, which made him look haggard and worn.

Joey felt sorry for him, yet she pretended nothing had happened and said indifferently, “Mr. Charles, good morning, why don’t we start by talking about the investment in medical devices today? I wonder which hospital you would recommend we visit?”

Allen looked up at her with painful eyes, but he couldn’t utter a single word of reproach. He took a deep breath and forced a smile, “How about the Champion Hospital? It’s a private hospital, but it’s one of the best hospitals in our city, excellent in many aspects, such as medical skills, equipments and environment.”

The Champion Hospital was the private hospital founded by Chance.

Joey was calm, “Since it is a very good one, let’s go and have a look.”

The little hesitation left in her heart had vanished because of what he just said.

It seemed that he was deeply convinced that the loss of her first child had nothing to do with his father or Chance. He was unaware that when she heard him bragging about how good Chance’s hospital was, all she could think of was her unborn child. The tragic death of her baby had been a bloody and painful nightmare for her over the years.

However, Allen’s proposal suited her perfectly.

The reason why she had decided to take advantage of the influence of Philip’s family to invest in medical machinery in the city and specialize in the treatment of vegetative patients was self-evident.

Allen just didn’t know her intention.

Joey, Allen and Philip got into the elevator and went down to the first floor. They walked out of the hotel, and Ms. Carol was already waiting at the door in the car.

After getting into the car, Joey suddenly asked, “Did you tell Chance we’re visiting his hospital now?”

Allen knew the question was addressed to him. He answered, “I told him about it yesterday.”
