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 readers' comments on the novel: The Day I Kissed An Older Man
This book is a good book, but it’s too short. I hope it has a part two👍🏾...
This book is getting boring now. I loved Jeremy, Corinne, Sonny and Lucas. The story needs to end. or bring back more of Jeremy, etc....
I haven't skipped any chapter at all. Though the story is good, it keeps going back to base one. I think this has no ending at all and somehow after reading more than 2500 chapters it's kinda tiring already. They have drained all the thrills....
Great writing! I almost cried when Helen hit Melody! So sad! 😭 can’t wait to see how the relationship with her and Lucas develops though. So tired of the repetitive problems with different people....
Yikes my body tenses so much, my moods change as the scenes change. It leaves me wanting to continue reading....
my heart breaks for melody, so many ups and downs, i shed a few tears when lucas walked by melody carrying thalia, and melody stayed quiet while watching them leave. i find myself getting into character as if im one. i dont remember ever feeling like that in any other books. im thankful the 10 chapters/day. waiting for the next 10...
We have updated progress from 7 chapters/day to 10 chapters/day.<3...
i love grandma Beatrice, there needs to me more people like her in the world straight forward and to the point, no beating around the bush and worrying about offending anyone, why pretend to be someone your not....
looking forward to more chapters, The same thing is happening to Melody as what happened to Luna, if Luna was back maybe she would set Lucas straight, can't wait to see how Lucas handles the situations that will arrive. Poor Melody....
ya Lucas pay more attention to Melody lets see what happens waiting for more chapters thanks...
