    Chloe grabbed the car keys and stepped outside, only to find Joseph ring at her coldly. Feeling


    puzzled, she asked, "What''s the matter?"


    "Those candies on the table. Who gave them to you?"


    "Noah."


    "Don''t ept anything from him. He has ulterior motives."


    "Fine, then don''t keep Xavia''s child." With the matterid out, Chloe''s indifference was evident in


    her words. She would say whatever pleased her, regardless of the consequences.


    "Come on," Joseph said, abruptly ending the conversation out of guilt.


    Chloe muttered under her breath, expressing her discontent, "Rotten scumbag."


    Joseph had no retort and reluctantly fell into silence.


    Chloe remained fully focused andposed as she drove. When someone overtook her, she


    handled the situation calmly. Joseph felt relieved. His dumbo was not the typical female driver.


    Suddenly, the car in front came to an abrupt stop.


    "Brake!" Joseph yelled.


    Chloe remained calm and responded, "Oh."


    In the next moment, Joseph felt his upper body lurch forward. If it were not for the seatbelt, his head


    would have collided with the windshield. Meanwhile, Chloe firmly gripped the steering wheel with


    both hands and yfully winked at him.


    "How was that? My driving has improved quite a bit, huh?"


    "I suppose…"


    Joseph could not bring himself to dampen her spirits, and Chloe wore a triumphant expression that


    said “I knew it.”


    It took them an hour to reach the hospital from the Johnson vi. Upon arrival, Joseph fought down


    the churning sensation in his stomach and apanied Chloe inside. If he had to sit in her car for


    another ten minutes, he would definitely vomit his guts out. He quickly texted Lucas toe and


    drive the carter. He was determined to never let Chloe get behind the wheel again.


    After getting an X-ray and consulting with the doctor, Chloe was given a clean bill of health just like


    her previous visit. The doctor assured her and Joseph that everything was fine. As long as there


    were noplications, Chloe could rx and focus on having a good pregnancy.


    "Does she need to take any medication to stabilize the pregnancy?" Joseph asked in a gentle and


    polite manner, visibly happy. The doctor recognized Joseph and understood his temperament very


    well. Surprised by this treatment, the doctor stumbled over his words, "Th-That’s not necessary. Just


    make sure toe regrly for check-ups."


    "Thank you." Joseph expressed his gratitude and supported Chloe as they walked out.


    Chloe was somewhat speechless. "My belly isn’t that big right now. I can walk on my own."


    "No, the floor’s slippery. What if you fall? Remember to inform me about your next check-up. I''ll


    come with you."


    "Joe..."


    Xavia, who had silently followed the couple and eavesdropped on their conversation, could not help


    but interject. Being six months pregnant herself, Joseph had never apanied her for a single


    check-up, yet he was now willingly apanying Chloe the moment he found out she was


    pregnant.


    The contrast between being loved and being disregarded was so striking.


    Joseph turned to look at her, instinctively furrowing his brows, "What are you doing here?"


    "The doctor had already left when you dropped me off at the hospital yesterday, so I had toe


    back today..."


    Xavia’s deliberate mention of Joseph taking her to the hospital caught Chloe''s attention. She


    nced at the man beside her, thinking, ‘So, he apanies different women for their check-ups


    day in and day out. No wonder the doctor recognized him.’
