Chapter 390 Getting Pregnant After the Divorce, How Ridiculous
The doctor’s words echoed in her ears, but she did not absorb them in the slightest. She muttered to
herself, “But I took contraceptives. I took them every time.”
“Contraceptive pills are not 100% effective,” the doctor kindly reminded her as he observed her
expression. “About the child, it’s no doubt a significant decision, and it’s important that you consider all
your options. If you decide not to continue with the pregnancy, we can arrange for hospitalization and
schedule an abortion as soon as possible. Just remember that time is of the essence as you may not
be able to terminate the pregnancyter on.”
“I don’t know…”
“Take your time to think about it.”
In a daze, Chloe walked out of the hospital. She absentmindedly raised her hand and gently touched
her still-t belly, her mind engulfed in a whirlwind of emotions. Instead of hailing a cab, she opted to
slowly walk back home. She began to ponder her situation, ‘Being one month pregnant means that it
isn’t from the time at Graceville Estate. Getting pregnant after the divorce… How ridiculous.’
On her way home, Chloe found herself walking alongside a middle-aged couple who were in the midst
of a heartbreaking moment. Tears streamed down their faces as they held tightly onto their hospital
reports, their cries echoing with despair. “This is the fifth time. Our IVF attempts have all failed. What
have we done wrong? Is God punishing us?”
“Don’t cry, my love. Maybe it’s time we let go. I can’t bear to see you suffer like this. I…I feel
heartbroken for you.”
“But I want a child of my own…”
“Love, let’s consider adoption. We can still have a beautiful family. Please don’t cry.”
The man embraced his partner, pouring out all his love and tenderness. Chloe observed this scene, her
grip tightening on her own prenatal examination report. She quickened her pace, unable to bear
witness to any more of their heartache.
She needed to think rationally and not be influenced by the outside world. If she chose to proceed with
the pregnancy, she pondered how she would confront Joseph. Should she demand that he cut ties with
Xavia? Setting aside whether Joseph would even be willing to do so, there was also the matter of
Xavia’s unborn child. They were innocent in all of this. Asking herself to generously care for the child of
her love rival was a daunting prospect. She doubted whether she possessed the strength of mind to do
so, especially considering the painful fact that Joseph had cheated on her.
Chloe’s thoughts grew increasingly chaotic. In the midst of her turmoil, Emily called and extended an
invitation for lunch. Unsure of what to do, Chloe epted, hoping to seek her
best friend’s opinion and guidance.
Nearby, the masked woman lurked in a corner, her eagle eyes shimmering with a sinister gleam. She
swiftly retrieved her phone and contacted S. “Sir, I just saw Chloe entering the OBGYN department. I
suspect she’s pregnant.”
A brief silence followed on the other end. “Do not take any action against her.”
“Why? Why shouldn’t we seize this opportunity to kidnap her and exploit both her and the child in her
womb to threaten Joseph?”
“How are you certain that Joseph would care about her?”
“Well… I believe Chloe possesses more value for maniption than Xavia.”
“Can you guarantee that nothing will go wrong?”
“No…”
“For now, let Chloe be. Allow her to proceed with her pregnancy undisturbed, and we’lle up with a
foolproof n in due time. Let’s not forget that Xavia’s pregnancy is only one month behind hers.”
Revenge was not merely aboutmitting acts of violence. It was about identifying the other person’s
vulnerabilities, ruthlessly crushing them, and subjecting them to absolute
humiliation.
The masked woman appeared to understand his intentions. “Boss, are you nning to execute. a
switcheroo on the children?”
“Precisely.”
“So, we won’t take any action against Chloe for now?”

“That’s right. Focus on taking care of Xavia and, if needed, ensure our influence extends to the
hospital.”
“Understood, sir.”
Chloe and Emily arranged to meet at one of their favorite restaurants.
“Coco, you’ve got to try the chicken wings. They’re incredible!”
Lost in thought, Chloe absentmindedly picked up a piece of meat from the te and took a few bites.
“Do you think a woman can raise a child on her own?”
“Absolutely! Men can do it, and so can women. We have all the necessary capabilities. Being self-
sufficient and independent is empowering and really cool, you know?”
“Why do I feel like you’re just saying that without truly giving it a thought?” Chloe
questioned skeptically.
Indeed, throughout history, raising a child has never been an effortless endeavor.
