Chapter 992


    Anya looked at Joey after hearing what Phoebe said. She looked at Joey before exchanging


    nces with Phoebe in tacit understanding.


    Anya shifted her position and sat next to Joey in the back row.


    Joey had been silent throughout the journey. He cowered to one side as soon as he saw Anya


    approach him. Anya''s presence left him fearful.


    Anya secretly reached out to Joey and pinched his arm fiercely. When she heard Joey scream in


    pain, she asked loudly, "Joey! Is something wrong?" She then ced her hand on Joey''s forehead


    and acted as if she was worried. "What?! His body temperature is so high!"


    Phoebe yed along and said, "What happened? Does he have a fever?"


    Anya nodded. "He does! He''s having a fever! What should we do, Mom?"


    Phoebe leveraged the situation to their advantage and said, "What else can we do? We need to go


    to a hospital, and fast! Joey has a fever! We need to send him to the hospital!"


    The servants were hesitant.


    Phoebe frowned andshed out at them. "Joey is having a fever! Why do you look so reluctant to


    bring him to a hospital? He might be an adopted child, but the two elders have epted him. Can


    you bear the responsibility if something happens to him?"


    The servants looked at each other. One of them finally said, "There''s a vige hospital nearby.


    Perhaps we can bring him there to get checked up for the time being?"


    Phoebe was anxious. "A vige hospital? Are you sure you want to let a doctor from such a small


    hospital treat Joey''s condition? What if the doctor misdiagnoses him and dys his treatment? Are


    you going to take responsibility for that?"


    The servants considered that request and eded to it in the end. They had no choice but to turn


    the car around and bring them to the city hospital. Half an hourter, Anya and Phoebe carried Joey


    into the consultation room after arriving at the hospital''s emergency department.


    The servant who followed them into the hospital waited dutifully at the entrance of the consultation


    room. However, there was no sign of Phoebe, Anya, or Joey even after some time had passed. The


    servant then decided to go in and check on them, but the doctor was busy seeing another patient.


    Phoebe, Anya, and Joey were nowhere to be seen.


    The doctor was unhappy that someone had entered without permission. Heshed out at her, "Who


    let you in? Get out and wait for your turn!"


    The servant asked the doctor, "Where are the twodies who came in with a child?"

    The doctor frowned and said, "They asked me to give the boy an injection to reduce his fever, so I


    told them to wait behind the curtain while I prepared the syringe. They were gone when I opened


    the curtain!"


    The servant looked behind the curtain and saw an open window. The emergency room was on the


    first floor, so anyone who climbed out of the window would already be outside the hospital!


    At that moment, the servant felt something was amiss and immediately called to report what


    happened.


    Anya and Phoebe fled the hospital with Joey and got into a cab right away.


    Anya breathed a sigh of relief after getting into the vehicle. "Where are we going now?"


    Phoebe said, "I have an apartment just off the expressway. The Riveras don''t know that it exists.


    We''ll head there and take a breather before nning our next move."


    Anya nodded. She was already very tired, so she had noints when she had a ce to stay.
