Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love novel Chapter 588

"We managed to save the baby. There was minimal bleeding, but the patient's body is particularly weak, which increases the risk of premature birth or miscarriage in the later stages. Mr. Joseph, you have to take good care of the patient from now on," the doctor reported.

"The child is safe?" Joseph raised an eyebrow, his eyes filled with piercing coldness. "Arrange for an abortion immediately."

He would not allow her to birth the product of a union between her and another man.

The doctor was taken aback. "Well... The patient is too weak at the moment, so we can’t perform the surgery immediately."

"When’s the earliest possible time?" Joseph inquired.

"It's hard to say. Perhaps in about a week."

Joseph closed his eyes and remained silent.

The doctor left the room. The truth was, the abortion could be arranged as early as tomorrow, but Chloe had pleaded with the doctor in the emergency room, telling him that this was the first child she conceived with the person she loved dearly. She begged him to save the baby, as she could not bear the thought of losing it.

Aside from Joseph, the child was Chloe’s only family in this world. So when Joseph asked for an abortion, the doctor decided to lie to him. He hoped that within a week, Chloe and Joseph would resolve their conflicts and decide to keep the child.

Chloe woke up, and her eyes landed on the man in her ward.

The first thing she did was nervously touch her belly. Thankfully, the baby was still there. She struggled to sit up and cautiously held onto the man's hand. "Nothing happened between Icarus and me. The baby in my belly has nothing to do with him. I swear."

"Is that so?" Joseph pressed his throbbing temple, his eyes burning crimson as he stared at her intently. "Icarus has confessed everything. Are you still going to deny it?"

Chloe licked her parched lips.
