Chloe woke up naturally and had toast and hot milk for breakfast. She picked up her phone and glanced at it, finding that Joseph had yet to contact her since their fight the previous day.
Disappointment inevitably engulfed her, but she did not blame him. She was the one lying, after all.
She wondered if she should head to Fairlight and make it up with him humbly. Should she coax him as she did in the past when she tried to gain his heart?
While pondering over it, someone suddenly rang her doorbell. Her eyes lit up, thinking it was Joseph. She walked toward the door in light steps and opened it.
"Hello, are you Ms. Chloe?" An old energetic man stood at the door.
"Yes, I am. And you are?"
"Mr. Joseph told me to come here to treat you. This is my professional certificate and my ID. Please take a look at them. If there are no problems, we can start right away."
Chloe became confused. "You're saying that Joseph hired you to treat me?"
"Yes, and it's okay. You just need to take some medicine for your menstrual disorder. Don't fret."
Blinking, Chloe was soon enlightened. 'So he thinks I’m the one having irregular periods instead of Em. Is he assuming that I lied to him because I’m too shy to broach the subject, and that’s why he hired a doctor to come here?'
She found that it was possible, so she quickly waved. "No, there’s no need for any treatment. I'm fine. Go home."
The doctor would surely find out everything as soon as he checked on her body. And of course, she did not dare to let him do so.
"That won't do. I’ve already been paid."
"It's fine. I'll tell Joseph about it."
The old man was doubtful, but since she refused to accept the treatment, he could not force her.
After Chloe sent the doctor off, she called Noah.
