At the hospital, Joseph searched within himself for an honest answer upon waking. He thought about how to deal with this love affair. Although he wanted nothing more than to drive her away when he found out she had cheated on him, he could bring himself to do it.
He missed her so much till his appetite had been non-existent. Even when faced with the issue of life and death, he did not hesitate to give up his chance of survival to ensure hers. What kind of charms did this dumbo possess? His principles were crumbling before her.
Noah shielded Chloe. His indifferent expression was still gentle. "What do you want, Mr. Joseph?"
"This has nothing to do with you, kid. Get lost." Joseph pushed Noah aside before he grabbed Chloe's arm and dragged her to the car.
"Let go of me! I don't want to go back!" Chloe struggled vigorously. She hit him and accidentally touched his wound, eliciting from him a gasp of pain. She immediately stopped and tilted her head awkwardly. "Sorry, I didn't mean to do that."
"Yes, you did." Joseph covered his wound, a gloomy look on his face.
"Fine, I did. But you deserved it!" Chloe retorted as her face flushed.
She was tired of giving in to him. Despite not having done anything, she was rebuked and wrongly accused. It was all because of his lack of trust in her that things had turned out this way and others could manipulate the situation.
Joseph looked at her condescendingly and gritted his teeth. "Is this any way to treat your savior?"
"I'm sorry. You're not my savior but my curse."
Joseph was struck speechless.
"Mr. Joseph, you heard her, didn't you? Coco doesn't want to go back with you." Noah stepped forward and looked at Joseph. He was neither servile nor overbearing. "I believe a big shot like you wouldn’t make things difficult for a pregnant woman in public, right?"
