    Chapter 516 News About Joseph’s Mother


    Samuel was momentarily stunned. “I forgot about it.”


    Harold had served in the military his entire life and achieved great sess. Though he had retired a


    few years ago and his official position was no longer active, his military rank remained.


    Chloe had notmitted any wrongdoing, so it was not hard to get her out.


    After knowing that she would be released, Chloe’s heart filled with joy, and the lingering anxiety finally


    subsided.


    She followed the officer to sign the necessary documents. During the process, she noticed two other


    policemen escorting a woman, presumably someone who had just finished giving her


    statement.


    The woman possessed long, sleek tresses that shimmered with luster, reaching down to her waist. She


    kept her head down, her hair acting as a veil and concealing her identity. Though not in her youth, her


    remarkable demeanor gave off an aura of elegance befitting a wealthy


    woman.


    The officer filled his colleague in on the situation. “Caught stealing in a public ce.”


    “Isn’t that prettymon? Why do you look so puzzled?”


    “Stealing is normal, but what’s abnormal is that she confessed to the victim and urged them. to report it


    to the police. It’s like she wants to go to jail or something.”


    “That’s pretty bold.”Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.


    Chloe overheard their conversation and shifted her gaze to the woman, but she was unable to figure


    out what was going on. Afterpleting the paperwork, she exited the station to reunite with Joseph.


    “Are you okay?” he asked.


    Chloe shook her head, then nodded. “I’m fine.”


    It had been a long day for her today, and her stomach was aching slightly. She was not sure if it was


    rted to the baby.


    Thinking that the police had overstepped, Joseph narrowed his eyes and asked, “Did they mistreat


    you?”


    “No. I just feel a little unwell. I’ll be fine after some rest,” Chloe said.


    “I’ll have the driver take you home,” Joseph said beforeing to a pause. A furrow formed


    on his forehead as his expression turned serious. “There’s news about my mother’s whereabouts. I


    need to go check it out.”


    Chloe was taken aback. She had not expected to receive news about his mother so quickly.


    “Okay, go on then,” she said.


    She had been worried abouting up with an excuse to go to the hospital for a check-up alone.


    The two separated, and the driver took Chloe back to the house. After changing her clothes, she hailed


    a cab and went to the hospital.


    The doctor looked at the scan and asked, “Hmm, this doesn’t look good. Has there been any


    bleeding?”


    “No,” Chloe replied.


    “There are signs of a threatened miscarriage,” the doctor said.


    Chloe became anxious, “What should I do?”


    “I’ll prescribe you some medication. Make sure to take good care of yourself. When you’re pregnant, try


    to keep a calm mindset. You should take care of yourself not just for your own sake but also for the


    sake of the baby.”


    Chloe nodded firmly. “Thank you, doctor. I will.”


    As she stepped out of the hospital with her prescription in hand, Noah suddenly called her.


    “Chloe, I took your sketch to the relevant department, but they didn’t find anything. The jewelry might’ve


    been altered or refurbished.”


    Chloe’s eyes dimmed as a sense of disappointment overwhelmed her.


    “Well, thank you for your efforts. Oh, there’s one more thing I’d like to ask you,” she said.


    Sensing her low spirits, Noah said gently, “Ask away.”


    “Since we can’t retrieve the original piece, I’d like to have a replica made based on the sketch- as a


    keepsake. Would that be possible?”


    “I’ll check with the designer. Exotic Star doesn’t have such a service, but I think it should be doable.”


    “Okay, thank you so much.”


    “Don’t mention it. I’ll get back to you when I have news.”


    As Chloe walked and talked to Noah on the phone, she failed to notice Patrick standing by the


    pharmacy entrance. He wanted to greet her, but she simply walked past him.


    Thinking that Chloe might be III, Patrick did not hesitate to inform Harold about the


    encounter. O


    Upon hearing the news, Harold mmed down his cup in anger and immediately called Joseph. “You


    rascal! Where the hell are you when your wife is at the hospital?!”
