Chapter 422 All He Cares About Is Chloe

The doctor shook his head. “We have to wait until at least the sixteenth week, which is around four

months. The patient isn’t like an ordinary person. Being pregnant is a huge burden on her. We can only

do the amniocentesis at month four at the fastest. If the situation isn’t

optimistic, we have to wait until month five or six.”

Joseph frowned deeply and left the doctor’s office. When he was back at the ward, he found Xavia had

woken up at some point. Her eyes were red and swollen, casting an image of feebleness.

“Go home to Ms. Chloe. I’m fine. I’m sorry for losing control tonight.”

“Why did you deliberately cause such a scene?”

Joseph’s eyes were extremely dark and gloomy.

Trembling, Xavia boldly met his gaze and said agitatedly, “Chloe got the police to investigate for no

reason. Joe, I’m a public figure. Reputation is of utmost importance to me. I wanted to protect myself

and stop those groundless rumors from tarnishing my innocence. And of course, I wanted to protect my

baby!”

“Chloe isn’t that kind of person.”

“But she’s always targeting me. I wish that accident from that night didn’t happen either, but I got

pregnant. I don’t have a choice.”

“You’re so suspicious.”

Xavia’s heart skipped a beat as she stared at him in disappointment. “The police already released me.

I’m innocent. I knew that you’d publicly side with Chloe, so I used that extreme method to protect

myself. The public has sharp eyes. If I did something wrong, would I be bold enough to go through so

much effort to seek attention?

“I don’t blame you but myself for failing to keep you by my side.

“Just go.”

Joseph’s eyes turned dull as he stated calmly and aloofly, “I’ll repeat myself. After the amniocentesis,

I’ll be responsible for the child if it’s mine. Behave yourself from now on and don’t make another scene.

I don’t have much patience, and I also don’t want to fall out with you for real.”

He had no interest in whether her suicide attempt tonight was a cry for attention or trying to use public

opinion to suppress Chloe. At most, he only needed to wait for another two months. to clear the air. On

the surface, Xavia appeared gentle and charming, but he knew that she was not someone who could

be easily bullied.

His patience was limited too.

Xavia’s eyes went wide with anger as if she felt embarrassed and furious now that her schemes were

exposed. She thought that she could move him after saying all this and that his heart would soften for

her.

“Yes, I admit I want to do everything I can to keep you. I don’t know what I did wrong to make you hate

me so much. When we were dating, I was always by your side while you tried to establish your

business. Even when I got sick, I chose to leave for fear that I might burden you for the rest of your life.

Why do you have to be so cold toward me?”

Joseph recalled his past five years ago, and his eyes turned slightly gloomy. It was hard to forget one’s

companion, but it did not mean that he would miss them. He knew very well that Chloe was the one he

cared about now.

“Don’t bring the past again. Rest well.” He got up and left.

Watching his back, Xavia heaved a heavy sigh. Today’s battle was neither a victory nor a loss.

Although Joseph was suspicious, everyone in the world now knew that she was pregnant with

his child.

When Joseph exited the hospital, he found Lucas there and waiting. He got into the back and sank into

the soft seat. “Did you send her home?” Of course, he was referring to Chloe.

“Ms. Chloe didn’t ask me to pick her up and went home with her best friend. I did ask her about it, and

she’s safely at home.”

Rubbing the place between his brows, Joseph fished his phone out to call Chloe.

Oceanic Residence.

Chloe and Noah were standing in the neighborhood and conversing. The latter was wearing a cuffed

gray shirt, exposing a small part of his wrists. His skin was fair and tender that one could see his green

veins. When he smiled, his canines poked out harmlessly. At that moment, he presented a slim and

upright physique.

“Hey… Did you just move in here?”

“Yeah. You stay here too?” Chloe appeared suspicious and unsure. After all, he should at least stay in

a villa given his identity.

“Yes, my university is nearby, and this apartment is close.” Noah sounded joyful. His brown eyes were

full of gentleness. “Looks like our fate is written in the stars. We’ll be neighbors from now on.”

Chloe opened her mouth to say something but her phone rang before she could do so. But when she

tried to answer her phone, it turned off because the battery died.

Noah caught a glimpse of the name on the screen and offered her his phone. “Here, use mine to call

him back.”
