Anya looked at Joey after hearing what Phoebe said. She looked at Joey before exchanging glances 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 placed her hand on Joey’s forehead and acted as if she was worried. “What?! His body
temperature is so high!”
Phoebe played 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 and lashed 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 accepted 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 village hospital nearby. Perhaps we can bring him there to
get checked up for the time being?”
Phoebe was anxious. “A village 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 delays his treatment? Are you going to take responsibility for that?”
The servants considered that request and acceded to it in the end. They had no choice but to turn the car around and bring them
to the city hospital. Half an hour later, 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. He lashed out and wait for your turn!”
The servant asked the doctor, “Where are the two ladies 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 planning our next move.”
Anya nodded. She was already very tired, so she had no complaints when she had a place to stay.
