"It's no small favor. You saved Coco's life. When she regains her freedom, she'll definitely express her heartfelt gratitude to you," Emily said sincerely.
Noah frowned. "But didn't you say she went home? Isn't she free now?"
"I'm not entirely sure. All she told me was that Joseph took her back to his house. For now, she and the child should be safe," Emily replied. Unbeknownst to her, Chloe had kept the incident of Joseph forcefully feeding her the herbal medicine a secret to spare her from worry.
Noah quickly grasped Chloe's current situation. "So apart from not undergoing the procedure, she’s still confined much like before."
"Yeah, but it's slightly better than being in the hospital because she can make phone calls now," Emily explained.
"What does she use to make calls? A mobile phone?" Noah asked.
"No, it's a landline," Emily answered.
Noah nodded understandingly and got the landline number from Emily. Without continuing the conversation, he casually found an excuse to end the call.
"Noah, I can help you pursue Coco, but you have to promise to treat the child well and not have any biases," Emily said, feeling a bit embarrassed.
Chloe was beautiful, had her own small company, and could raise a child on her own after getting a divorce. But compared to a large enterprise like Exotic Star Noah owned, there was still a significant difference. However, it usually took two to tango when it came to relationships.
Noah paused for a moment. "You’ve misunderstood. I don't have feelings for Coco."
"Nonsense! I can tell!" Emily retorted. She had sensed it since their first meeting. However, she thought he was just shy and thus did not say it out loud.
Listening to the call end beeping tone, Noah glanced at the time. It was 4 p.m. Joseph should still be in the office, so Noah dialed the number that Emily had provided.
"Hello? Who’s on the line?" A middle-aged woman's voice came from the other end of the line.
