Chapter 616 Seems Like Joseph Doesn’t Love You That Much


    After the doctor finished discussing Joseph’s condition with Lucas, Lucas turned to Chloe and said,


    "He has a fractured rib and extensive back injuries, but overall, it''s nothing serious. It''ll take around


    two weeks for him to recover. But with Mr. Joseph''s constitution, he may recover even faster."


    Chloe let out a long sigh of relief and said, "Thank you so much, doctor."


    "We ran into the masked woman when we arrived," Lucas said.


    "Did she escape?"


    "She ran toward the mountain. Vince has already sent some people to look for her."


    The mountain was notrge, but it was slippery after the rain, making it difficult to traverse. With the


    approaching winter, even an ordinary person would struggle to endure a day, let alone Vanya. They


    were confident that she could only hold out for two or three days.


    Chloe was puzzled and asked, "Is Vince an employee of Fairlight or the Whitman Group?" She did


    not recall seeing him before.


    "He''s neither," Lucas replied.


    "Then he’s…?"


    "I''m not very sure either." Lucas scratched his head. "I only handle Mr. Joseph''s work-rted


    matters. I don''t get involved in anything else."

    Chloe did not inquire further and said, "You stay here with Joseph. I’m going to go."


    "Aren''t you going to wait until Mr. Joseph wakes up?" Lucas was surprised.


    "He''s out of danger now, and I''m not a doctor. There''s no point in staying."


    "But he was injured because of you," Lucas said, unable to understand Chloe''sck of empathy. In


    usual dramas, when a woman encounters a man who risks his life to protect her, should she not be


    deeply moved and burst into tears?


    "But without Joseph, I would never have gone through all that," Chloe said calmly.


    Lucas was momentarily taken aback and nodded thoughtfully. You''re right..."


    Chloe did not say anything further, simply turning around and walking away. This was a perfect


    chance for her to escape. She had no intention of waiting for Joseph to wake up and continue


    keeping her captive. She was not going to deny that without his protection today, there was a high


    possibility that she would have lost her child. But on the other hand, it was perfectly normal for


    Joseph to protect their child. Did he expect her to be grateful to him?


    Chloe epted his protective gesture without a hint of guilt.


    "Ms. Chloe." Xavia hade to the hospital when she heard that Joseph had been injured. She


    approached Chloe at the entrance, blocking her path.


    Chloe had no intention of paying Xavia any attention. She stared straight ahead as if she had not


    seen her.


    Xavia gritted her teeth and extended her arm to stop Chloe. "Stop ignoring me."


    "Are you some important figure that I have to respond to just because you called out my name?"


    Chloe''s gaze remained cool and indifferent as she looked at Xavia.


    "I just wanted to ask about Joe''s condition," Xavia said with a helpless expression, pretending to be


    hurt by Chloe''s words.


    "Do you not have legs or a mouth of your own?" Chloe retorted, sensing that Xavia was looking to


    stir up trouble.


    Xavia stared at Chloe and suddenly covered her mouth,ughing coyly. "Are you jealous because I


    came to see Joe?"


    Chloe could not help butugh at Xavia’s words. She pointed at the woman with a serious


    expression on her face and said, "If anyone should be feeling jealous, it should be you. After all, I''m


    married to Joseph, whereas you...can only rely on your pregnancy to secure your position. How


    pathetic."


    There was no denying that this struck a nerve with Xavia. She and Joseph had known each other


    for seven years and were together for five, yet Joseph had never mentioned marrying her. On the


    other hand, Chloe and Joseph had gotten married only after one day of knowing each other. The


    swiftness of their marriage was truly incredible, and it was difficult for Xavia to fathom how someone


    as mature andposed as Joseph could have impulsively entered a marriage.


    "The process doesn''t matter. From a broader perspective, it doesn''t matter if he loved you before.


    What matters is who he loves now." Xavia took out a set of car keys from her bag and waved them


    at Chloe. "A single identity card can only get one customized car, and I have one too."
