Chapter 788 Harmonious on the Outside, Rotten on the Inside


    Vanya was concerned over drawing Noah''s notice, thus she maintained a vignt watch on the


    courtyard. Fortunately, he simply gave his car keys to the helper and went upstairs.


    She let out a sigh of relief and continued, "If you ask Noah to treat me and send me abroad, I''ll tell


    you of your child''s whereabouts. How about it?"


    Chloe stared at Vanya. "I want to know which city my child is in right now."


    Gritting her teeth, Vanya revealed, "He''s in Docwood. Lightning will strike me if I’m lying to you."

    The helper sent Vanya back to her room, and Chloe went to wash her face. When the cold water


    sshed onto her skin, it brought with it a surreal sensation of stinging. Leaving the bathroom, she


    slipped under her bed covers. Though it was warm, she felt cold.


    When Noah went to call her for dinner, he discovered that she had a high fever. An unusual redness


    had spread across her fair skin and her lips were slightly cracked. Curled up in bed, she resembled


    an injured little animal.


    He looked at her worriedly and asked gently, "Why didn''t you tell me you were having a fever?"


    Chloe opened her eyes, but her vision was misted. She wanted to know why Noah had changed.


    Was it to seize Exotic Star? But there was no need for that. Even if she was here, no one would


    take thepany away from him. Was all his kindness toward her an illusion, or had she never truly


    understood him?


    Noah gazed into Chloe''s eyes and thought she was feeling unwell. Worried, he turned and went to


    find the family doctor. After checking on her, the doctor said, "Mr. Noah, Ms. Chloe just has a cold.


    She''ll be fine after taking some medicine."


    "No need for an IV?" Noah asked.


    "No. After taking the medication, she should recover by tomorrow.”


    Holding the medication the doctor had left, Noah gently helped Chloe sit up. She pushed away his


    hand, took the medicine, and swallowed it in one gulp.


    Noah was taken aback for a moment, then asked, "Are you hungry? I can get you something from


    the kitchen."


    "No thanks. I just want to sleep. Please leave," she said.


    The cold made Chloe’s voice hoarse, making her sound like she was throwing a tantrum. Noah sat


    by the bedside for a moment, contemting whether he had been working too muchtely and had


    neglected her. After a while, he went downstairs, then came back with a ss of honey water and a


    slice of cake.


    cing them on the table, he said, "Have this if you get hungry. I’lle back and check on you


    tonight."


    Chloe covered herself with the nket. As she heard the door close, she got out of bed and threw


    the cake into the trash bin. The exquisitely crafted cake was now a mess as if symbolizing their


    past. Everything looked harmonious on the outside, but the inside was all rotten.


    After her outburst, Chloe copsed wearily onto the floor. Retrieving her phone from beneath the


    pillow, she began looking through various tforms for information on Eustace Hubble. After


    scrolling through page after page, she finally stumbled upon the name among the employees of a


    certainpany. She also found the name of the legal representative of thispany somewhat


    familiar.


    The man was Noah''s secretary.


    She swiftly used the online information to locate Eustace''s personal social media ount. Starting


    five years ago, his posts contained daily life snippets and pictures of his daughter. There were


    hardly any personal photos of himself. The majority of his daughter''s pictures showed her from


    behind, but amid them, Chloe managed to find a front profile of the little girl.

    Staring intently at the features of the young girl''s side profile in the photo, a sudden realization


    struck Chloe.
