Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love novel Chapter 76

”I came back to clean up your mess, you idiot."

Chloe was speechless.

"I feel terrible right now. Why can't you say something nice to comfort me?" Chloe said.

Seated gracefully on the chair beside the bed, Joseph crossed his legs and leaned in, placing his large hand gently on top of Chloe's head. Although his touch was as soft as if he were stroking a cat, his tone was arrogant as he spoke, "I won't offer you comfort, but I do have the ability to save you."

Both of their gazes met. Chloe inexplicably felt that his words made perfect sense. A true man never spoke in a flowery language but takes direct action and is decisive.

In that instant, she was awash by a surge of gratefulness and said solemnly, "Thank you."

"You should solve your problems as soon as possible. That would be the real gratitude toward me," he replied.

Every now and then, she found herself in trouble. Though she could handle it, her body was no longer able to bear the strain.

When Chloe heard what Joseph said, she thought he implied she was a burden. Or perhaps he had received some news and knew about her relationship with Jake.

'That's right, we have no blood or family ties. Even our marriage is fake. There's no need for him to care about me at all.'

Chloe pursed her lips and spoke with determination, "I will."

Since the Johnsons did not treat her like a human being and they even went to the extent of claiming the assets her mother left for her as theirs, she felt that she did not need to be soft-hearted anymore.

As for Joseph, she would try her best and leave the rest to fate.

Joseph looked at the time and asked, "Have you decided? Do you want a caregiver or are you asking a friend for help?"

"I'll call my friend."

It was awkward to ask a stranger for help with something as private as going to the toilet.

"Okay."

"By the way, do you know any lawyers? I want to sue someone," Chloe asked Joseph before he left.

He paused but did not turn around. "I'll have Lucas send you the contact information."

"Okay, thank you."

After Joseph left, Chloe lay on the bed motionless, staring blankly at the drip bag in the upper right corner.
