A Billion-Rich Woman Was Chased by Her EX-Husband novel Chapter 303

Chapter 303

The hospital, VIP ward. 

Jerome changed into a hospital gown and lay on the bed. His handsome and delicate face was drained of blood, and his lips were as white as withered flower petals. He was so weak that it made people feel pity. 

“Director Xavier, why are you so silly!” 

The secretary remained by the bedside, still deeply shaken by the ordeal. “Did you realize how close you came to being trampled by that horse? The potential for fatal consequences was very real. You were risking everything – your life, your accumulated struggles and triumphs in Stoeyae, all your carefully laid plans could have been destroyed in an instant.” 

“Van, now that things have come to this, it seems that you are really worried about me and care about me.” Jerome said. 

Van Dyer was shocked, tears in his eyes. “Director Xavier…” 

He had been with Jerome for eight years. He used to be a lackey, but now he was a secretary. However, his status had changed, and he was still a subordinate who followed Fourth Young Master Xavier. 

Fourth Young Master Xavier was very shrewd, sinister, and suspicious, cutting a cold and vigilant boundary with anyone. 

All these years, except for Miss Thorp, no one could get close to him, and no one could break his heart. 

He did not have a friend who was willing to be trusted. This “Le” undoubtedly closed the distance between them. It made him feel that Jerome really regarded him as one of his own people. He was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes. 

“Director Xavier… body is the capital of revolution. You must take care of your body!” 

“For Chloe, I am willing to do anything.” 

“And… I also want to prove in front of Chloe that the person who can sacrifice his life for her is not only Joseph, I can also do it.” 

In the future, when she needs help, she will not think of Joseph immediately, but will think of me. 

The second sentence was really intriguing. 

Secretary Dyer understood the meaning behind it, and his eyes were gloomy as he nodded, “You are right. A man like Joseph who messed up the relationship woth women and has a bad personal life is worthy of Miss Thorp?” 

Miss Thorp was a smart person, she would never fall in the same pit twice, right? 

Jerome’s eyes were cold and dark, he was noncommittal.

At this time, the phone he placed beside the pillow vibrated. 

He picked it up and glanced at the screen. Before he could reply, ward’s door opened. 

“Jerome, are you asleep?” 

Hearing Chloe’s voice, Jerome quickly stuffed her phone back under her pillow, her lips raised up, and she waited gently. 

“Chloe, I said, don’t worry about me… I’m fine.” 

Chloe walked into ward. Looking at the man’s pale face that seemed to be broken with a touch, she felt somewhat uncomfortable. 

After all, he had become like this because he wanted to save her. 

“I also said that I will take responsibility for your injury to the end.” Chloe walked in front of him and said in a gentle tone. 

Jerome felt a warmth in his heart and his eyes turned slightly red. 

“Miss Thorp, you also fell down for a while. Are you hurt?” Secretary Dyer was especially observant and asked with concern. 

“No big deal, don’t worry. The main thing is your Fourth Young Master has a broken arm, a cracked rib, and five skin injuries. He needs to be hospitalized for quiet recuperation.” Chloe also had some bruises on her body, but she did not care at all. She only instructed Jerome calmly. 

“Chloe, I don’t need to be hospitalized. I know what my health is like.” Jerome chuckled. 

“What kind of bad habits do you men have? Joseph is also not hospitalized even after such a big operation! Are the hospitals poisonous or are you unable to afford the hospitalization fees?” 

Chloe’s cherry lips opened and closed, her small mouth spitting out like a barrage of bullets. 

As soon as she finished speaking, she was heavily startled and clenched her fingers. 

For some reason, she inexplicably thought of Joseph. Many times, her consciousness surged to wards her from all directions like a tide, and she was unable to resist it at all. 

Jerome’s heart tightened, and she forcefully suppressed the surging hatred. Her pale white lips twitched, “It seems that you really care about Mr. Sawle. No matter when or where, you can always remember him.” 

It can be seen that he is very important in your heart. 

Chloe took a deep breath and looked at him coldly. “Do you want to hear the truth?” 

Jerome felt suffocated and pursed his lips.

“It is indeed very heavy. You are right.” 

In the face of Chloe’s frankness, Jerome only felt the smell of blood explode in her internal organs in a split second. Her hands clenched the corner of the quilt. “Joseph and I have been husband and wife for three years, but I have known him for more than three years. It is far longer than you think.” 

Chloe’s tone was very calm, as if she was chatting with a friend. However, she could not deny that when she touched him once, her heart would still gently ache and spread throughout her body. “Once, there was nothing in my life, only him. After he divorced me, it was as if he had dug out my entire heart. From then on, my body had an irreparable defect, just like a disabled person that could not be repaired. 

“If it was you, could you turn a blind eye to it? Can you really believe that everything that you have has never existed?” 

“Chloe, I… 

“But don’t think that I will be able to with Joseph again in my life. That is not the 

case.” 

Chloe waved her hand freely, and the sadness in her beautiful eyes disappeared in an instant. 

“Chloe, no matter how long it takes, I am willing to wait for you.” 

Jerome’s pale face was full of heartache. She struggled to stand up, but was stopped by Chloe. 

“Jerome! You are a patient now, don’t move!” 

“Ten years, twenty years, a lifetime… I am willing to wait. I will wait for you to heal, wait for you to calm down, wait for you to… love me.” 

Jerome’s pale lips trembled, and he grabbed her soft hand, pinching her fingertips red. 

“You, you let go first, don’t be like this!” Chloe’s almond eyes widened, and she quickly pulled her hand away. 

Jerome was still weak, and his body swayed. He almost fell off the bed! 

“Director Xavier, be careful!” 

Secretary Dyer quickly supported him and cast a pleading look at Chloe. “Miss Thorp, I beg you, for the sake of our Director Xavier being seriously injured for you, can you give him more care? A little bit is fine!” 

“Van, forget it, don’t make things difficult for Miss Thorp… Cough, cough, cough…” Jerome covered her chest and coughed a few times. Her forehead was covered in sweat. “She wasn’t wrong. It was me. I was rude.” 

Chloe furrowed her brows and didn’t say anything. 

Just then, someone’s phone rang in the room.

Then, there was another ding – 

There was another ding – 

All three phones rang. 

Chloe was puzzled. It was a coincidence that two phones rang together, but the three were not. 

She took out her cell phone and looked at the screen – 

Twitter pushed it away. 

“Joseph and Zoey’s underground relationship exposed.” 

“Joseph and Zoey Meet a Hotel. Videos and Photos.” 

Chloe stared at the screen. Her eyes were bloodshot, and her heart instantly fell into the deep ice pond. 

“Aiya! Miss Thorp, Director Xavier, what, what kind of hot search is this?” 

Secretary Dyer drew the screen and exclaimed, “Mr. Sawle and Anderson family’s daughter have a dating at hotel. Damned, it’s so explosive! Director Xavier, quickly look at this news. The two families are both Medo’s big families. He…” 

Tsk tsk, if this gets out, it’ll be so unpleasant to hear. It’ll be so much of a slap to the face! 

Jerome remained silent and lowered his eyes. His long, dark eyelashes covered the trace of malice that flashed across his eyes. 

“Jerome, I have something to do. I’ll go out first and come back later to see you.” 

Chloe stiffly turned around and walked to the door with heavy steps, his thin shoulder faintly trembling. 

“Chloe!” Jerome called out anxiously. 

Chloe stopped in her tracks and took a deep breath. 

“No matter what happens, I will always be by your side. In this world, anyone can betray you. Only I, Jerome, will never betray you!” 

Bang -! 

Chloe slammed the door of the bathroom and sat on the last toilet lid. She bit her lips and crazily browsed through twitter’s hot searches and comments. 

Bean-sized beads of sweat/fell on the dazzling screen one by one. 

[Hahahaha! What did I say? A man’s mouth lies, Aman’s legs are cheating! Isn’t Joseph rumored to have a hot relationship with the daughter of Thorp family? He repeatedly stepped for ward to protect her, and now he is with Zoey. Why is he so smelly?] 

[Stamp confirmed: Century great scumbag!] 

[It’s all fake. I’m telling you, Joseph actually wants to climb up to Thorp

Group and become a hundred billion son-in-law! If he really succeeds with Chloe, it will be the marriage between Sawle Group and Thorp Group. He will have Stefan as his father-in-law and backing. How many people in Asia dare to provoke him?] 

[Ah? Joseph wouldn’t be so stubborn as to pursue Chloe. He himself is worth a hundred billion…] 

[Hmph, you’re too young when you say that. Who will dislike money?] 

Chloe’s eyes were cold. She slowly raised her hand and clenched her clothes. She pressed down hard, but she still could not stop the pain of her heart being torn in half. 

[But then again, Zoey’s shriveled figure is like a chick. No matter how you look at it, she is not as beautiful as the daughter of Thorp family. I think she is not as beautiful as Grace. Why Joseph’s taste becoms so bad?]
