You Hit My Heart
Chapter 113

"Okay, auntie. I got it, I'll be on time."

“I'm sorry to have troubled you, goodbye."

Joyce hung up the phone and looked confused for a moment. Sheopened her beautiful eyes and let out a breath.

"What? Who was calling.” Luther asked, sensing that something waswrong with her, his dark eyes narrowing slightly.

"Oh, it's nothing. It's Charlotte's mother, Cecelia, who asked me to meether at the Pure Blue Café across from the group this afternoon." Joyceput down the chopsticks in her hand and suddenly felt her appetitegone.

Luther sniffed and frowned, "You don't have to go. I'll take care of it. Iwill go to the Heath family to explain to them in person.”

The Heath family couldn't wait any longer, and now even Cecelia had tostep up. How could he let Joyce face all these for him?

“It's okay. I have agreed anyway, so I should go. Besides, it was mewho was at fault in the first place.” Joyce hurriedly gulped a fewmouthfuls of food, her mind was slightly confused, and she could nolonger taste it. What would come just would come, and she could nothide from it even if she wanted to.

The thought of being chastised by a woman as gentle and atmosphericas Cecelia made her feel a little down.

Luther was silent, his mind heavy.

"Have you all finished? I'll go pay the bill." Joyce stood up and took outher phone for the bill.

Luther suddenly took her hand and said seriously, "If she gives you ahard time, call me."

Joyce was stunned for a moment, then gently brushed his hand awayand smiled openly, "You're overthinking it. She won't and I can handleit."

That was quite something to Juanita but since the atmosphere was notquite right, she did not say anything.

After settling the bill, the three of them took Luther's car back to thegroup headquarters.

Joyce and Juanita returned to the project team together just in time.Joyce tidied up her work, and drew her design drafts for a while,looking at her watch every now and then, distracted.

At four o'clock, she took some time off work and went to the Pure BlueCafé opposite the group.

This was a nostalgically decorated Mediterranean-style cafe with anelegant style and comfortable environment. Sitting inside, listening tonostalgic music, and sipping a cup of aromatic coffee, she felt liketurning back the clock and indulging herself in the good old days.

The meeting with Cecelia was scheduled for 4:30.

Joyce habitually arrived early.

She picked a seat next to a window and ordered some tea and snacksand waited quietly.

Suddenly, a commotion outside the door caught Joyce's attention.

She stood up, pushed open the glass door, and walked out into thecrowd of onlookers.

After she took a closer look, Joyce found the person lying on his sideon the floor was Cecelia.

Cecelia seemed to be out of breath, breathing heavily, with one handstuck to her neck and the other trying to replace something. Her face waswhite, her lips were blue, and her forehead was covered with sweat.Joyce pushed through the crowd and rushed forward, kneeling on theground to hold Cecelia up.

"Auntie, what's wrong with you."

Almost choking, Cecelia could not even say a word and could not lifther hand. Yet none of the surrounding people could understand whatshe wanted to express.

Joyce saw that when Cecelia inhaled, there was a clear depression inher supraclavicular fossa, and together with other symptoms, sheimmediately judged that Cecelia was really having an acute asthmaattack. She asked anxiously, "Auntie, you have an asthma attack, doyou have your medicine with you?"

Cecelia nodded her head with great effort. She could not lift her hand,only her eyes looked at the corner not far away.

Following the direction Cecelia looked over, Joyce quickly found a blackhandbag that had been dumped into the corner. She opened thehandbag and dumped out the contents inside one by one.
