Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love novel Chapter 532

“Appearances can be deceiving. One should never judge a book by its cover. There's one young girl in my office who perfectly exemplifies this. At first glance, she appears petite and adorable. She can’t even open a jar. But behind that facade lies a dark and disturbing side. She’s secretly a cat abuser. Can you believe it?"

Emily could not stop gossiping once she started, going on and on without end. However, Chloe had too much on her mind and could not focus. Coincidentally, someone from the office came to see her, so she had to hang up.

In the herbal store of Central Hospital, Frederick was surprised to see Noah arriving alone. "Mr. Noah? What brings you here today?"

"Dr. Frederick, I've been having trouble sleeping recently. Would you mind doing a check-up on me please?" Noah politely asked while glancing around the room.

The waiting area was crowded with other patients.

"Sure, but you'll have to wait. I have other patients to attend to first," Frederick replied.

"Of course, I have no intention of cutting in line," Noah replied with a gentle smile. He curiously observed the herbs cabinet in front of him and asked, "May I take a look around?"

"Feel free, Mr. Noah. My place is small, and I hope you don’t mind it. Go ahead and take a stroll," Frederick said.

Noah walked up to the herb cabinet, observing the names written on each drawer while keeping an eye on his surroundings from the corner of his eye. Seizing the opportunity when no one was paying attention, he discreetly headed to the backyard where the herbal blends were being prepared.

In the backyard, there was only one assistant busy with the herb preparation.

"I've already spoken with Dr. Frederick. I’m just taking a walk out of boredom. Carry on with your work," Noah said to the assistant.

"Mmm, sure," the assistant replied.

Noah wandered around the yard, and eventually, his gaze settled on bags of herbs placed on a table. "These are the finished herbal blends?" he inquired.

The assistant answered, "No, those are the ones brought in from outside for analysis."

A flicker of contemplation crossed Noah's eyes as he nodded thoughtfully. At that moment, Frederick called on the assistant, leaving only Noah in the backyard.

He watched the assistant walk away. Without wasting a moment, he quickly took out a pre-prepared packet of herbs and deftly switched it with the maternity herbal blend on the table.
