Chapter 222 She was leaving
As soon as Joey got into the car, Philip started the car and drove her straight to the airport.
Sarah leaned closer to her and whispered, “Joey, what did you just say to Yolanda?”
Joey lowered her head and put the half-million-dollar check in Sarah’s hand, “This is a half million
dollars, Sarah. A third for your brother’s medical treatment. You can leave John Walter now. Could you
donate the rest of the money to the Children Foundation for me? Think of it as a prayer for my poor
baby. Hope my baby will be born to a good family in the afterlife.”
Sarah was shocked by such a huge sum of money in her hand, “Where did you…get so much money?”
“I got it from Yolanda.” Joey said honestly.
Philip and Sarah were shocked
“Joey…how could you…” Sarah looked at her in disbelief. She suddenly felt that Joey was drastically
different from before.
“What? Are you saying I shouldn’t have taken her money?” Joey smiled, “I would never have done it in
the past, but now... I’ve come to understand that sometimes one really doesn’t have to be so inflexible.
Now that I’m leaving, I couldn’t just go away quietly and give her what she’s hoped for. Now, the half –
million- dollar check is all I’ve asked of her, but in the future... she will pay more.”
She had never thought of pocketing the money from the moment she had asked Yolanda for it. She
would never spend Yolanda’s money.
Philip and Sarah were surprised, because Joey had really changed a lot. But they didn’t see anything
wrong with her sudden change. They found it exciting instead.
Sarah said nothing more because she genuinely approved of her doing so. She held Joey’s cold hands
and said with sparkling eyes, “How could I possibly use Yolanda’s money if you don’t? This woman is
disgusting. I will never touch her money. I will donate all the money to the Children Foundation for you.
As for my brother, John Walter will help me. Don’t worry. I know what I’m doing.”
Joey nodded and said nothing more. She closed her eyes and leaned back in her seat.
She couldn’t help thinking of how she had left the hospital.
She had made love to Allen last night, and both of them had fallen asleep exhausted.
When he woke up the next morning, he was so excited that he wanted to tell everyone that she was
awake, but she stopped him.
She had told him a lie. She said she wanted to surprise everyone with the good news on her 23rd
birthday tomorrow.
Allen had listened to her, as he had always done. He had planned to take the day off from work to stay
with her, but she refused his offer. He had no idea of her plan to leave today. Besides, he had a full
schedule in the office today, so he had reluctantly gone to work.
At 11:10 a.m., Philip had arranged for her to leave the hospital disguised as a nurse.
She had been almost caught by Chance while she was leaving the hospital, but luckily Philip had made
good arrangements. When it was found that Chance might undermine the whole plan, the fake patient
placed in the hospital immediately cried out in pain to draw his attention. She had managed to elude
him in a flash.
It was a close call.
She believed that the hospital must have found her missing now and they probably were looking for her
everywhere. No one could imagine that she was on her way to the airport right now.
She slowly opened her eyes and looked out of the window.
The city under the bright sun seemed lonely, just like her at the moment.
The city had witnessed her hard work and maturity over the years, and it was a place with the people
she had loved and hated in it. Now she had to leave.
After she was gone, she believed, Allen would certainly look for her and miss her. But over time, would
he forget her? Would he get back with Yolanda?
Would Ben Hawk and Vivian get married?
Or, would Vivian continue to be a third wheel in the relationship between Lawrence and Martha?
Would Lawrence and Martha break through moral constraints and end up together?
There were Quentin and Amanda too. Their divorce proceedings should be over soon. If Amanda
divorced Quentin, what would happen to her as a proud, capable and modern woman? Would she
marry again?
Would Chance, her secret admirer with twisted love, turn to another girl when she disappeared?
Would Martin, who looked careless, but actually was a very brave and affectionate young man, meet a
nice girl who could put his excessive libido under control someday?
The list was long…
It was a flashy city with too much desire and memory. However, none of it had anything to do with her
now. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
A whole new life awaited her in the distance. Never had the faith in her heart been so firm and resolute
as it was at this moment.
