Chapter 234
Joseph’s entire body trembled fiercely!
They used to be husband and wife, but he had never expected that she would treat him like an enemy.
This sharp butterfly knife had yet to hurt his muscles, but it had pierced through his heart.
“The last man I greeted like this, it was still Vincent. However, he is already very self-aware and is far away from me.”
Chloe tilted her head, her beautiful eyes were cold and emotionless. “I think Mr. Sawle, you are self-righteous. You don’t need me to stab a knife into your kidney. Do you understand what is going on?”
“He… What is so good about him?” Joseph ignored her threat and asked in a hoarse voice.
“What did you say?” She was stunned for a moment.
“Jerome… What’s so good about him?” With red eyes, Joseph approached her step by step.
Even though he was aware of what was pressed against his chest, and that the little girl was ruthless and capable of anything, he could not bring himself to care.
“Joseph, get lost!”
Chloe’s almond-shaped eyes were wide as she supported herself. She retreated step by step, but the butterfly knife on his chest did not retreat at all. “Do you think I don’t dare to do anything to you?”
“Why do you insist on being with him? Is it to… take
revenge on me?”
Joseph stared deeply at her, his voice trembling and hoarse. He did not feel that the tip of the knife had pierced through his suit and truly pierced into his muscles.
“If I don’t want to be with him, why would I be with you? Why are you so angry?”
“Besides, it’s not like I haven’t been with you before. It’s been three years. Didn’t you personally drive me away?” Chloe asked, feeling amused.
His words really hurt Chloe.
Joseph took a deep breath. The pain in his chest seemed to have taken root and spread all the nerves in his body.
However, what she said was the truth, cruel and powerless.
“Chloe!”
Chloe’s heart tightened. She quickly turned around and saw Jerome, who was standing a few steps away, waiting for her anxiously.
“Chloe, your body is still uncomfortable. I will take you to the hospital, okay?” Jerome’s gentle phoenix eyes surged with worry as he extended his hand towards her.
He did not play the boring wife-stealing game with Joseph in front of Chloe, but instead changed his strategy,
He tended to her, looked after her, experienced the chill and felt the warmth for her.
Let her know who was the one who loved her the most.
“Alright, let’s do it now.”
Chloe’s fingers moved nimbly as she withdrew her butterfly knife. She walked towards Jerome without looking back, as if she had already made a choice between the two men.
It was self-evident who was the one who had been abandoned.
Joseph’s entire body stiffened as he stood there, pathetic and laughable.
Chloe walked in front of Jerome and did not let him hold her hand. She only said in a gentle tone, “Let’s go.”
Jerome’s fingertips trembled slightly and he retracted his hand. “Okay.”
The two of them, shoulder to shoulder, walked away openly, leaving the man’s eyes sad and embarrassed.
When the corridor was empty, Joseph slowly raised his hand and covered the wound that made him feel no pain. His eyes were full of pain.
“Chloe, I just want you… to see me.”
Jerome took Chloe and rushed to the hospital.
When she arrived at the entrance of the hospital, she was already in so much pain that she could not get out of the car. She
covered her abdomen with force. Her mind was blank, and her delicate and beautiful face was devoid of blood.
Her stomach had always been not very good. This was all caused by her hunger during the war as a national doctor.
“Director Xavierl I will get the wheelchair immediately!” The secretary was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.
“No need, I’ll do it.”
Jerome got out of the car first, bent over and carried Chloe out of the car. He strode towards the medical courtyard.
“It hurts… It hurts…” Chloe panted slightly and leaned weakly against him.
“Chloe, last time you told me not to hug you casually.”
“But it has to be done. Chloe… Don’t blame me, okay?” Jerome hugged her soft body tightly, as if she was about to embed herself into his chest.
His tone was extremely gentle, with a hint of coaxing.
The secretary beside her was utterly astonished, his entire worldview shattered!
At what point did the cold, unfeeling Director Xavier become so gentle and deferential towards a woman?
For Miss Thorp, the thousand-year-old iron tree bloomed, and without her marrying Director Xavier, there was no way to put an end to it.
After tossing and turning until late at night, Chloe finally had a drip and fell asleep on the bed.
Perhaps it was because of their childhood friendship and her lack of strength, but this time, she, who was always full of vigilance against unfamiliar men, finally relaxed and allowed Jerome to accompany her by her side.
The quiet ward room, the air was filled with the sweet breath of the little girl.
Jerome maintained his unchanged posture and sat by the bedside to watch her.
Suddenly, Chloe turned over, and a soft moan overflowed from the depths of her throat.
A numbing sensation passed through Jerome’s heart as his Adam’s apple squirmed restlessly, his mouth parched and tongue scorched.
For so many years, regardless of whether it was Medo or Stoeyae, all the women who wanted to offer themselves to him were all over the place.
But the more they were like this, the more uninterested he became. He only felt that women were more difficult and disgusting than the densely packed rattan pots stuck to the bottom of the ship.
Only Chloe could do whatever she wanted to him without restraint.
any
He was willing to do all sorts of bad things to dote on her and was not afraid of the wrath of the heavens.
Jerome’s eyes darkened and he could not help but raise his hand, wanting to gently touch this little face that he yearned for day and night.
Suddenly, the phone vibrated and the secretar
sent a message.
[Director Xavier, Miss Thorp’s family is here to pick her up. They are at the door. ]
Jerome adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and opened ward room’s door.
In the corridor, the tall figures of Oscar, Riley, and Jordan stood in front of him like three extremely oppressive icebergs.
“I’m sorry, President Thorp.”
“Chloe’s stomach hurts so suddenly that she can’t walk anymore, so I could only bring her to the hospital first. I couldn’t inform you in time.”
Jordan pursed his lips until they were deathly pale. He could not tolerate this man taking his mistress away without permission.
“Fourth Young Master Xavier, you!”
Just as he was about to speak, Oscar raised his hand, indicating for him to calm down.
He turned to look at Jerome with an insincere smile. “Fourth Young Master Xavier, I am very grateful that you brought Chloe to the hospital. But you clearly know that we are looking for our little sister, but you repeatedly hung up my phone, and finally turned off the phone…”
“What does this mean?”
Riley frowned deeply, and his eyes were filled with anger.
This Jerome was so bold that he dared to secretly take away their treasure!
‘Do you think these brothers are just for show?’
