Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love novel Chapter 549

Noah's gaze slowly shifted from the laptop to Chloe's face, taking in her delicate features. Her skin was fair and rosy, and the gentle curve of her lashes rested on her eyelids. She appeared obedient, her mature and casual attire slightly oversized to conceal her growing belly, making her outfit a little ill-fitting.

"Let's begin," Noah announced, leaning back in his chair.

A group of doctors in white coats emerged from the adjacent room and carefully carried Chloe into the neighboring room. Inside, ultrasound machines and an array of instruments were prepared for the examination. The doctors skillfully began their examination of her body.

"We can now extract the amniotic fluid."

"Okay." Noah paused before continuing, "Are you sure there won't be any needle marks when she wakes up?"

"There won't be any. We're using the latest technology in prenatal testing from Ameria. With anesthesia and an incredibly small needle, it'll be difficult to detect anything with the naked eye."

Noah nodded, somewhat reassured, and gave his consent for them to proceed.

Vanya stood beside him, and she said urgently, "Is the plane ready? Once we have the amniotic fluid, we have to return to Docwood before evening. Xavia's amniocentesis is scheduled for 5 pm. We have to stick to the schedule, not a minute more or less.”

Failure to do so could jeopardize their plan. Despite having control over the doctors performing the amniocentesis on Xavia, the undeniable truth could not be overlooked. Reality would always be real and falsehoods would always be false. Only by obtaining Chloe's amniotic fluid could they ensure a safe resolution to the situation.

"The plane is ready on the rooftop. When will Coco wake up?"

"Soon. Should be within the next half an hour."

Noah returned to his office, opened the window to let the stagnant air out, then closed it. After half an hour, Chloe slowly opened her eyes and found herself locking gazes with Noah.

"Hey, sleepyhead."

She felt regretful, "I'm so sorry. I don't know how I fell asleep... I suddenly felt incredibly drowsy."

"It's fine. I dozed off for a while too." Noah pointed at the essential oil diffuser on the table. "This has a very calming effect. Perhaps that's what caused the drowsiness."

"Really?" Chloe felt strange. She had not expected to doze off during work and felt it was impolite.

Noah's expression softened, and he said in a concerned tone, "Pregnant women often experience drowsiness. You're about four months pregnant now, and working every day can take a toll on your body. It's natural to feel tired and want to rest."

She blinked, realizing that his explanation made sense. After all, she had a restless night and had not slept well.
