Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love novel Chapter 467

Chapter 467 Regardless of Parentage, the Child Should Be Born 

The nurses glanced up and blushed at the sight of such a handsome man approaching them. 

One of them replied shyly, “I don’t know… Probably over 30…” 

Joseph’s expression soured further. He just turned 31 this 

year. 

“Sir, can we exchange numbers?” the nervous nurse asked. 

He let out a cold snort, “I’m already 31.” 

The nurse exclaimed, “Oh? Please don’t go!” 

‘What’s wrong with being 31? Being handsome is more than enough!’ 

Inside the hospital, Xavia sat on a bench in the corridor, donning a delicate beige dress accentuated by a gracefully draped shawl over her shoulders. Her choice of loafers revealed her slender ankles, adding a touch of vulnerability to her overall demeanor. Seated beside her was Megan Martinez. 

Joseph observed Xavia from a distance but refrained from approaching her. Instead, he entered the doctor’s office where Lucas was already present. 

“Mr. Joseph, we’ve conducted a comprehensive examination on Ms. Xavia. Based on the results, the earliest suitable time for amniocentesis would be two months from now.” 

Joseph pondered, his gaze intense and contemplative. The child growing in Xavia’s womb would be over five months old in two months. 

Lucas also pondered the matter, his brows furrowing with concern. “Is it possible to terminate the pregnancy at five months?” 

“Well… If there are any abnormalities or developmental issues with the child, it’s possible to consider termination. However, for someone like Ms. Xavia, who’s already in a fragile physical state, undergoing an abortion would pose significant challenges.” 

Lucas’ frown deepened. In essence, it meant that regardless of parentage, the child should be carried to term. 

Joseph maintained his composure and nodded calmly. “Please pencil it in.” 

“Of course, Mr. Joseph.” 

Xavia noticed him emerging from the office and rose from her seat, flashing a coy smile. “The doctor informed me that we still have two months before the amniocentesis.” 

Joseph stood, his hands tucked in his pockets, his sharp features distant. “At five months 

pregnant, abortion is no longer an option. Have you made your decision?” 

“I made up my mind the day I found out I was pregnant.” Xavia’s eyes brimmed with a bitter sentiment. 

“Joseph, it’s incredibly insensitive of you to bring up amniocentesis right away.” Megan came to Xavia’s defense. 

“Let it go, Megan. 

“Why can’t I say what’s on my mind? You were also held hostage at the jewelry exhibition. Even though you managed to escape, it was nothing short of a miracle. But Joseph, there was not a single phone call or word of concern from you.” 

Xavia observed Joseph’s expression through the corner of her eye as she said in a considerate tone, “Chloe’s condition was even more critical. Joseph did the right thing by prioritizing her.” 

Megan let out a sigh. “You always put others before yourself. You were admitted to the hospital after yesterday’s scare, but no one showed any concern. And now, they wake you up early for an examination. It’s truly disheartening.” 

“That’s enough. Let’s leave the past behind.” Xavia shook her head at Megan, then turned to Joseph and asked, “Is Ms. Chloe alright? Did those robbers harm her?” 

“She’s fine.” 

“That’s good. You should head back and take care of her. I can manage on my own,” Xavia said, trying to hide her disappointment. 

Megan, on the other hand, looked at Xavia with frustration as if she found her too understanding. 

“Okay.” Joseph remained indifferent, his response lacking any warmth. 

Such an attitude was beyond Xavia’s control. Her face stiffened, clearly sensing his lack of 

care. In theory, he should have shown some concern for her well-being, but his coldness was hard to ignore. 

Megan had been going along with Xavia’s charade until now, but she could no longer keep up the act. She was incredulous and could not hold back her words. “Mr. Joseph, she’s carrying your child. How could you be so cold to her?” 

“She’s just the carrier of my child, not the woman I love.” 

Those words had a devastating impact.
