Chapter 498 I Hope Chloe Gets Run Over by Car
Chloe suddenly calmed down. After all, she could not help but overthink things because she loved him.
“Let’s go outside and talk,” Joseph said, taking her hand as they left the ward.
Xavia watched him leave without even a backward glance. She fiercely punched the pillow, her face contorting in
anger. If she did not need the baby in Chloe’s belly, she would have wished for the woman to get run over by a car.
“I didn’t charge my phone last night. I received the caregiver’s call when I arrived at the office and rushed to the
hospital. I wanted to call you, but that’s when I realized my phone had died,
Joseph explained.
Chloe looked at the phone Joseph had stuffed into her hands. Indeed, it was dead. She returned it to him, asking,
“Then why didn’t you ask Lucas to come?”
“Lucas is on vacation,” he replied somewhat helplessly, “I can’t squeeze work out of him during his time off, can I?”
Chloe paused and said seriously, “No, you can’t.” She knew Lucas was facing enough pressure. Now that he finally
had a few days off, they could not be so selfish and deny him his hard- earned vacation.
A faint smile played on Joseph’s lips as he found an empty corner and wrapped his arms. around her slender waist.
“Are you jealous?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHis direct question caught Chloe off guard, and her face flushed slightly. “No, but there’s something else I want to
ask you.”
“What is it?” Joseph asked.
“Did you join Mr. Hugo’s project?”
“Yes.”
Chloe furrowed her brows and asked, “Why didn’t you tell me about it?”
Joseph tilted his chin and replied honestly, “When the Reeses started the project, we hadn’t reconciled yet. I just
wanted to stay in touch with you.”
Chloe’s cheeks blushed even more. It turned out she had misunderstood him. The more one
loved someone, the more one cared about everything concerning one’s partner. Still, that was
how love worked-it allowed no room for doubts.
“So that’s the reason you joined the project? Just like that?”
“Yes. I can’t bear to be without you,” Joseph said as he embraced her. His voice was pleasant to her ears, saying,
“By the way, how did you know I was at the hospital?”

“Noah told me,” Chloe replied.
Joseph’s face immediately darkened. “Why would he tell you these things?”
“He said he was accompanying his grandfather to the hospital in the morning and saw you here,” Chloe said,
“What’s wrong? Are you afraid of being supervised? Did you do something bad behind my back?”
“I don’t like him.”
“But Noah has done nothing to harm us. Hating someone requires reason,” Chloe said.
Joseph grew even more irritated. ‘A reason? What reason would I need? I can’t say the little brat is trying to
undermine our relationship, can I?’
Noah had maintained such a good image that Chloe would not believe it even if Joseph spilled the truth now. He
regretted not recording their conversation with a voice recorder back then. “You’ll find out the truth later,” he said
curtly.
In the ward, Xavia waited for a long time, but there was still no sign of Joseph returning.
The caregiver brought breakfast and kindly fed her. “Ms. Xavia, please have some.”
“Have you seen Mr. Joseph?”
“Mr. Joseph has already left.”
“What?”
She was admitted to the hospital, yet Joseph left with that bitch without saying anything?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe caregiver did not understand the situation and offered her the soup. “Ms. Xavia, please have it while it’s still
hot.”
“Get out!” Xavia lashed out, flipping the hot porridge, instantly burning the caregiver’s arm.
Terrified, the caregiver hurriedly retreated from the ward.
At this moment, Cyrus called Xavia to inquire about her progress.
“Mr. S, please give me more time,” Xavia said nervously.
“I see. You have made no progress, correct?” Cyrus said, his voice cold and piercing.
Xavia shuddered. “No, it’s not like that. I just haven’t found the right opportunity yet…”
“The highest level of lies contains elements of truth. Since Chloe is pregnant, why don’t you just tell Joseph about
it?” Cyrus suggested.
A glint of hope flashed through Xavia’s eyes as she quickly grasped the idea. “I understand.
Thank you.”
“Besides that, have you encountered any other difficulties?” Cyrus asked further.
“Yes… Noah from Exotic Star seems to know that Eustace is the father of the child in
Could you arrange for someone to deal with him?” Xavia requested.
