Can't Get Away With You

Chapter 39 Blame

Lois might think that he did it on purpose to threaten her with the little girl's illness.

His regret in his wrenching heart caught him off guard! Joey staggered back two steps. The life and work in the past few days exhausted him so much that he almost wanted to dodge!

Obviously, the servant was experienced. She made up her mind and ignored Joey's disappointment. She put the thermometer on the medical tray and walked around the children's bed to make a phone call.

She called Gu Family's old house directly. She was not in a hurry, but said in a serious tone, "the villa needs a Pediatrician here. He should arrive in at most fifteen minutes!"

As she put down the phone, she hurriedly fetched the alcohol to lower Maggie's body temperature. Afterwards, She finally felt something wrong as she calmed down.

She looked up at the window and said, "Mr. Joey! How can you keep the window open all the night? "

In the late summer and early autumn season, she checked the indoor temperature test: 22 degrees.

Joey seemed to have just felt the temperature in the room. He moved to the window and closed it.

The doctor came in a hurry in the middle of the night. He worked the half night to drop the temperature on Maggie's forehead.

Joey had been smoking outside the Princess Room. When the doctor came out, the smoke had already filled the two floor. The doctor hurriedly closed the door and advised, "Mr. Joey, for the sake of Little Miss Maggie's health, you'd better smoke less!"

Joey stubbed out the cigarette in his hand and his hands dropped it stiffly. The bruises on his eyes were even more severe. "How is the kid?"

The doctor sighed slightly and looked at Joey, pushing the black frame glasses on the bridge of his nose. "Sir, don't vent your anger on the child. In this case, If it's more dangerous and we might not save him."

Hearing the doctor's words, Joey smiled with self-mockery. He deserved it. Now everyone suspected that he hurt his child because his love for Lois, and because he was angry with Lois.

Seeing that Joey didn't look well, the doctor softened his voice and said, Mr. Joey, Little Miss Maggie is getting worse. I think it's necessary to inform the elders of the mansion, so that she can receive a more suitable treatment."

Joey got angry and he said in a sharp and ruthless tone, "I can take care of my daughter myself!" In other words, what you need to do is your job as a doctor. Don't get involved in other things!

The doctor frowned but didn't say anything to displease Joey.

Joey walked around the doctor and walked into the Princess Room. Looking at his daughter's pale and haggard face, he squatted down by the bed and gently stroked the little girl's forehead. "I'm sorry. It's all my fault. Dad didn't take good care of you."

The doctor wrote down all the medicine Maggie needed in silence, but the maid was obviously in a panic. "Mr. Joey, you can go to wash yourself and have breakfast first. There is still a long time before Little Miss Maggie wakes up."

Joey wanted to ignore the maid's advice, but he still stood up and left.

He knew that the smell of his body was not good, and it was even a kind of harm to Maggie. The little girl looked like Lois when she was with a slight frown, which was enough to make him understand how much she hated the smell of tobacco.

"Take care of Little Miss Maggie."

After saying that, Joey strode away. When he stood by the door, he turned his head slightly and looked at Maggie, who was still frowning and looked pale. Then he went downstairs without hesitation.

Joey took a shower and shaved his stubble. He looked at himself in the mirror and felt refreshed, if ignoring the gray under his eyes.

Joey looked at the clock hanging by the wall. It was already half past six. After coming out of the room, he went upstairs to see Maggie again. The little girl's face looked even worse, but the doctor said that she had been out of the danger from a high fever, but he was afraid that she needed the assist of medicine.

Without saying a word, Joey turned around and went downstairs. After breakfast, he went to the company.

The maid put down the swab in her hand and looked at the doctor, "should we tell what happened to the old main house?"

The doctor looked at the maid with a frown. He didn't understand. The old house and the new house had always been different. If they acted rashly to offend Mr. Joey, it was true that Mr. Joey didn't have the right to quarrel with Mr. Gu, but as them who worked for the house would suffer.

But he couldn't say that. He continued to prepare the medicine with his head down, "whatever."

The maid finally dialed the number and told the main house what had happened to Maggie, including that after she had a fever, Lois had come yesterday, while Mr. Joey had frozen Little Miss Maggie in the cold wind at the windowsill.

Joey overturned his desk when he received the news from the servants of the villa. He worked hard to play the show to the old house, but the old man had already planted "spies" around him!

When he thought he could definitely let it go, the fire in the backyard exposed the whole story!

"Mr. Joey...Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu just went upstairs. You... "The voice on the other end of the phone was trembling. Apparently, she was still in a state of shock in front of the "guest from the old house".

"Got it. I'll be right back." Joey put down the phone, put on his suit jacket, picked up the car key and left Gu Consortium in a hurry.

Joey drove back to the villa and strode upstairs. Sure enough, he saw his father Van Gu, and his mother, Yolanda Qi were both in Maggie's room "inspecting the situation".

Turning his head to look at the servant who was taking care of Maggie by the bed, Joey's eyes darkened.

"You are back." Van Gu said casually, drawing Joey's attention back. Joey lowered his head to hide the angry look in his eyes.

Seeing her son's sullen face, Yolanda Qi was even angrier. Looking at the weak Maggie, she suppressed her displeasure and said gently, "the child is so weak. What did you parents do?"

Every word of his mother was like a heavy hammer hitting on his heart. Joey had put the heavy burden on his heart for many days. At the beginning, he was impatient, but gradually he cared about the truth and suddenly found that it was not what he thought. Although he was exhausted, he was eager to be understood and supported.

Different from the usual motherly attitude of Yolanda Qi, Van Gu looked at the weak Maggie and showed his boredom incisively and vividly. "Didn't you say that the child is getting better soon! Why

does she suddenly get worse so fast? "

Joey remained silent, his father still said coldly, "what did you say to me in Gu Family?"

Joey thought of the party on the wedding anniversary in May. After that, his father did ask her about the "divorce" that Lois had mentioned.

At first, he thought that Lois just threatened him with marriage, so he prevaricated. Unexpectedly, his words turned into the truth.

Reluctantly, Joey said, "you don't have to worry about it. I'll solve it myself." Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

However, he didn't expect that his father would refute him as soon as he spoke. "You solve it yourself? You said so last time! What have you done? "
