Can't Get Away With You

Chapter 6 Sandwiched Biscuits

Not to mention the power of Gu Family, no one knew better than her how much Maggie cared about Joey's attitude, and no one knew how much Maggie desired the love of Joey, just like she was poisoned five years ago.

After the injection, Maggie's fever had been brought down. Joey watched Lois wipe Maggie's pink lips with a cotton stick dipped in water. The little girl's curly eyelashes followed Lois, but her soft thin lips looked like ten to ten percent of his.

"When will she wake up?" Joey took a piece of tissue and wiped the sweat off Maggie's head.

"Let's say it tomorrow morning. She must have been badly hurt by the fever." Said Lois, feeling sorry for her.

Joey thought she was blaming him for not taking good care of the child. As soon as he raised his head, he saw that she pursed her lips and looked remorseful.

He comforted her slowly, "Maggie is blessed. Everything will be fine."

Lois nodded and didn't want to say anything more. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

"Did she have such a high fever before?" Joey changed the topic.

Lois's body stiffened. When Maggie was two years old, she also had a serious illness. At that time, Joey was busy with the company's affairs, and Lois's car was just sent to the 4S shop for maintenance.

There was no driver in the villa, so she was very anxious. She called Joey, but he didn't answer. She called a taxi to the hospital. The little Maggie had a fever of more than 40 degrees. She was angry, painful, but helpless.

She almost lost her Maggie. Even Mr. Gu in the old house had been alerted, but Joey had never come to the hospital to visit Maggie.

A week later, when she came back home with Maggie in her arms, she only heard from Joey, "where have you been with the child?"

How she felt at that time? All the bitterness was attached to the tip of her nose, but could not be released from her eyes. At that time, she felt wronged, because she loved him. But now it happened again, she had no mood except for grievance and sadness.

When I love you, every word you say can make me cry out loud. When I don't love you, even the sharpest anger can't shake me at all.

That was how she felt now. He couldn't make her suffer or sad except for the child.

Looking at the absent-minded look on Lois's face, Joey thought that she was too guilty and silent. However, he didn't know that what he had missed had long become a gap between couples and could no longer be repaired.

In the early morning, when Maggie woke up, she muttered that she wanted to go to the toilet, but Lois didn't hear her. So, Joey cautiously carried the little girl to the toilet.

Maggie looked at his father, who was holding her with one hand and washing her hands with the other, with her eyes blurred, "Dad...Am I dreaming? "

Joey stopped what she was doing. He took out a few fingers from the box beside and wiped the little girl's hands. He asked, "Mommy doesn't have that much strength to hold Maggie."

Maggie looked at him with his eyes wide open, "I want to remember the gentle look of my father in my dream."

Joey held her in her arms and asked, "what does dad look like in your dream?"

Maggie rolled his eyes and thought for a while, but she didn't say anything.

When Maggie returned to the ward, Lois had already woken up. Looking at her panicked face, Joey was a little unhappy. "Can I still fight with you for a child?"

Lois didn't say anything. He was just trying to grab her child!

Maggie lay down on the bed. She looked at her mother on the right and her father on the left, "why don't you come to the bed?"

Lois was choked and blew the water in the cup without saying anything.

On the contrary, Joey teased her with a smile, "if Dad and mom go to bed together, our family will become sandwiched biscuits!"

Maggie pulled up the sheet and shrank her head into the quilt. Her shy look made people laugh.

Lois gently pulled the quilt and said, "Maggie, you will be out of breath."

Maggie pulled down the quilt, glanced at Joey with a blush on her face, and shyly hid herself to her mother.

Lois swallowed the bitterness at the corners of her mouth. No one knew better than her how deadly Joey's gentleness was. She held the glass and fed the little girl with water, without saying anything.

Maggie hadn't recovered yet. After playing for a while, she fell asleep. In the morning, Joey left in a hurry. He went back to the villa to change his clothes and go to the company.

Lois spent several days in the hospital to take care of Maggie. Finally on the fifth day, the doctor told her that Maggie had recovered and could go home.

Lois was excited, but she said thanks to the doctor calmly. The old doctor with half hair white waved his hand, gave her some dos and don'ts. then he turned around and left the ward.

Lois was half happy and half worried. The lawyer had tried to talk about the divorce with Joey again and again, but he had ignored it. After Maggie was discharged from hospital, she would be taken back to Gu Family's villa.

If she wasn't with Maggie at that time, would Maggie endure the pain when she felt uncomfortable but because she was afraid of Joey? Thinking of this, Lois was afraid and painful.

After hesitating for a while, she dialed Joey's number.

Joey took the phone. Although he was angry at the repeated harassment of Lois's lawyer, he didn't think that Lois would call and harass him because of the divorce.

As expected, Lois just politely said that she had something to discuss and invited him to the hospital.

Although he didn't know what it was, he was sure that Lois didn't dare to mention divorce in front of the angel child in the hospital.

Joey cancelled the morning meeting and left the company with the key.

Looking at the tired Lois, Joey felt a little sorry for her. Recently, the cooperation of the company was in a hurry, and Sally had come to visit Maggie many times. She always said that Maggie was obedient and cute, which made people feel relieved, but he didn't expect that Lois would be so tired.

When he was about to say a few words of concern, he suddenly remembered that her layer had been looking for him frequently these days, then his expression was replaced by indifference.

Lois sneered at the impatient look on Joey's face. Did he think she didn't treat his lover well?

She held back her anger and sighed, " Joey, are you busy recently?"

Joey didn't expect that she would say something like that. He thought that she must be very tired taking care of the child in the hospital. He wanted to say something to show his concern, but then he remembered the two divorce agreements on his desk.

On the bed, Maggie looked at her father. She remembered that the aunt who came to see her had secretly given her the phone and asked her to talk to her father. The aunt and her father were even more intimate than her mother and father, which made her a little uncomfortable.

Dad and mom didn't look like husband and wife at all, but dad and that aunt were more like couples. She remembered that the children in the kindergarten were all aunts instead of moms.

No matter how well that woman treated her and bought her many new toys, she didn't want to let that aunt be a mother.

Joey looked at her daughter, who seemed a little defensive, he felt a little hurt. The day before yesterday, the little girl still called her father intimately on the phone by Sally. It was only two days ago, but she had been instigated by Lois to be like this?
