Chapter 222 Maybe Xavia Isn’t That Wicked
Chloe asked Xavia what it was about and asked if they could just discuss it over text instead, but Xavia
did not reply.
The appointed time Xavia fixed was an hour before Chloe got off work. After dwelling on it for a while,
she decided to get up and took the elevator downstairs.
It was just downstairs and was a very short distance. It would not take up much time.
Outside the building, Xavia was silently waiting while holding an umbre. Herplexion was horrible.
She was wearing a sweater so that one could only vaguely see her hospital gown underneath. It was
clear she hade straight from the hospital.
Chloe raised her brows. “What can I do for you?”
“I’m sorry to disturb you again.”
“Just get to the point.”
“I’ve been undergoing chemo in the hospital recently, so I have no time to take care of Oreo. I’m
worried about putting Oreo in boarding long-term, so can you and Joe please take care of my dog
for a while?”

Chloe’s first response was to turn Xavia down. If she let Oreo stay in the vi, she would be giving.
Xavia more chances to see Joseph.
“Don’t worry. I’ll visit Oreo at most once a week. When the first stage of my chemo is over, I’ll take Oreo
home. I promise not to step out of the line and disrupt your rtionship with Joe.”
Staring at Xavia’s extremely frank expression, Chloe’s desire to turn Xavia down grew for an unknown
reason. While having such a thought, she started to say, “I think-”
Suddenly, Xavia abruptly pushed Chloe.
Being caught off-guard, Chloe staggered a few steps back as she witnessed Ellie, holding a fruit knife,
stabbing Xavia’s arm in a crazed frenzy.
Ellie was unwilling to ept her failure. She quickly withdrew the knife from Xavia’s arm and pounced
on Chloe.
Fortunately, Chloe reacted quickly. Besides, the security guards, who were on patrol, happened to be
passing by. They soon subdued Ellie.
“It’s all because of you. You ruined my life! If it weren’t for you, I’d be the boss of Marketing when Ms.
Wendy left. Do you know how long and how hard I worked to pass the interview and get hired? “Now,
not only did Fairlight fire me, but otherpanies are also refusing to hire me. I’m the only one
supporting my family. You just want to force me down a desperate end!
“Are you satisfied now?!” Ellie roared desperately andined about how unfair God was.
‘I suffered so much and worked so hard while this b*tch got here less than half a year ago. How could
she be on par with me?’
However, Chloe could not be bothered with Ellie right now. She took off her coat and draped it on
Xavia’s bleeding wound. With shaky fingers, she quickly called 911
After the doctor’s emergency treatment, Xavia’s wound was pronounced non-fatal But she was a
leukemia patient. Something might have easily gone wrong. Even a simple surgery took four hours.
After Joseph learned about the news, he came to the surgery room and waited outside with Chloe.
When the doctor came out of the surgery room, the doctor advised Chloe, “The patient’s condition is
stable now, but you should’ve taken care of her given that she’s a patient with a special case. You
should be more attentive toward her. What’s more, she took a blow for you. No matter if you’re friends
or family, you should be grateful to her.”
Chloe hung her head in guilt. “Okay, I understand. Thank you, doctor.”
Maybe she should not have thought so badly of Xavia.
‘If it weren’t for Xavia today, the person lying in the surgery room right now would be me’
Joseph noticed Chloe’s emotion and hugged her shoulder. “You are not to me for this.”
Chloe sighed, her feelingsplicated. “I know that. But if it weren’t for me, Xavia wouldn’t have gotten
hurt…”
Joseph frowned slightly. His dark deep-set eyes blinked as he dwelled on some unknown. thoughts.
Chloe held his hand. “Let’s go and buy some food for Xavia. She can then have something to eat when
the anesthesia wears off and she wakes up.”
“Okay.”
While buying the food, Chloe told Joseph that Xavia had asked them for help in taking care of Oreo.
Joseph remainedposed. “I’ll leave the decision to you.”
Chloe chuckled and leaned her head on his shoulder. “I’m d to have you with me”
They bought some light dishes and nutritious soup for Xavia before returning to the ward.
Xavia was already awake. She smiled weakly at them. “You guys are still here. Aren’t you busy with
work? You guys can go back to the office now.”
“It’s fine. I don’t know your favorite, so I just randomly bought something.” Chloe put the takeout down
and paused for a while. “I got you a care worker. I’ll also be fully responsible for the
hospitalization fees and the subsequent recuperation fees. I’ll pick Oreo up and bring Oreo home until
your wound is fully recovered.”
Xavia broke into a gentle smile. “That sounds wonderful! Oreo will get to y with Toto again!”
Chloe and Joseph went to pick up Oreo from the boarding house ording to the address Xavia
provided
The color of Oreo’s fur, as well as its body shape, were simr to Toto’s. The only difference was its
gaze and weight. Oreo weighed 5 kilograms less than Toto. Moreover, one could tell at a nce
that Oreo was a smart dog just by its gaze.
At night, Chloe walked the dogs and bumped into Icarus in the neighborhood.
Icarus was wearing gold-rimmed sses and a thin cashmere sweater. He appeared learned and
refined, coupled with an elegant aura. Surprise permeated his voice. “I didn’t expect to really bump into
you here.”
Chloe failed to hold in herughter. “Were you trying to bump into me here on purpose?” Icarus gave
her a ride home once, so he knew that she was staying in this neighborhood
