Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love novel Chapter 171

Chapter 171 Xavia’s Letter 

Chloe slept through the evening and woke up in a daze, finding a nurse attending to her hand. 

“Your fever hasn’t subsided, so we’ll continue with the IV drip. You’ll need to stay in the hospital for observation today, so you can’t be discharged yet,” the nurse informed her. 

“What’s my temperature?” Chloe asked. 

“102.2,” Emily replied, tucking in the blanket around Chloe. “You should focus on resting in the upcoming days and avoid exerting yourself.” 

“But what about work? And Joseph’s birthday? Also, the hearing is coming up in another two days…” Chloe voiced her concerns. 

“Joseph is the CEO of Fairlight, so why worry about work? Besides, his birthday isn’t a one- time event. You’ll have an opportunity to make it up to him later. I’ve already delivered the gift on your behalf. As for the court hearing, it’s still some time away. You should be feeling better by then,” Emily reassured her. 

“You’re right… By the way, where’s Joseph?” 

“He had some business to attend to and just left.” 

“Oh, does he like the gift I got him?” 

The gift was considered low-priced for someone of his status. 

‘Will he find it cheap?’ 

Recalling Joseph’s expression upon receiving the gift, Emily tilted her head and said, ” Outwardly, he appeared unimpressed, but behind closed doors, his smile stretched from ear to 

ear.’ 

Chloe’s lips twitched. “It’s just a pajama set, nothing rare or valuable. I’m sure you must be mistaken.” 

“Hehe, I believe Joseph has feelings for you.” 

Chloe’s eyes lit up, but she quickly shook her head. “That’s impossible. He doesn’t have any romantic feelings for me. At most, he sees me as someone valuable because Mr. Harold holds me dear.” 

“No, no, no. Trust me, he definitely has a soft spot for you. I don’t know to what extent, but do you remember how he acted when he wanted to jump into the reservoir to save you? Did he look anxious or worried?” 

“It was too dark inside. I couldn’t see clearly. I only heard him say he wanted to jump in to save me,” Chloe said. 

Emily froze for a moment, then slapped her own thigh in excitement. “That’s it! It’s proof that he loves you!” 

“Oh, come on, Em.” Chloe chuckled, finding her friend’s enthusiasm amusing. “If he loves me, wouldn’t I be able to sense it?” 

“The onlooker sees more than the players. Trust me, hold onto him tightly. Become a wealthy madam in the future, bask in endless glory and riches, and then be my sugar mama!” Emily exclaimed. 

“All right, all right. I’ll be your sugar mommy,” Chloe playfully agreed, leaning back and feeling drowsy. “You can go now. No need to worry about me. I want to continue sleeping.” 

“No rush. I’ll stay with you for a while. Sleep. Joseph has arranged a caregiver for there’s anything you need in the evening, just let the caregiver know,” Emily said. 

you. If 

“Okay,” Chloe replied nonchalantly. After all, it was Joseph’s crazy admirer that had caused all of this, so it was only appropriate for him to arrange a caregiver for her. 

Perhaps due to her fever, she quickly drifted back to sleep. When she woke up again, it was early morning of the following day. She got out of bed and headed to the bathroom, where she encountered a nurse who took the opportunity to check her temperature. 

The fever had subsided somewhat, although she was still running a mild temperature. Nevertheless, she was cleared for discharge from the hospital. 

“Okay, thank you. I’ll arrange for my discharge later,” Chloe replied. 

She could feel that her condition had improved significantly. After having breakfast at the hospital cafeteria and tidying up a bit, she took a cab back to the villa. 

Joseph, who had returned late last night, was leaving early again today. As he was going downstairs, he coincidentally ran into Chloe coming back. 

“Why were you discharged so soon?” he asked, his voice laced with surprise. 

He had intended to visit her at the hospital after his morning meeting. 

“I’m fine now. The fever has subsided. I just need to rest at home.” Chloe shrugged indifferently before patting his shoulder. “Go to work. I won’t take my health lightly.” 

Joseph’s gaze focused on her face. Although her complexion was still pale and her lips lacked color, her eyes had regained their sparkle, and her overall complexion appeared much better than the previous day.
