Chapter 602
Chapter 601 She Was Truly Blind, Having Misjudged His Character Emily lost one of her front teeth, and the dental department
chief suggested, “The front teeth. are an important part of a person’s appearance and should be carefully restored. I recommend
getting a dental implant. I suggest going to the hospital on Southgate Street. They have a dedicated department for dental care,
and their facilities are superior to ours.” “Thank you, doctor...” Emily’s speech was affected by her missing tooth, resulting in a
lisp that was both amusing and pitiful. A barely perceptible furrow appeared on Joseph’s brow. “Lucas, take her there. I’ll cover
the expenses.” Lucas nodded sympathetically, feeling sorry for Emily’s predicament. Losing a tooth must be painful. “I don’t want
your money! Stop pretending!” Emily retorted, displaying no interest in his offer. She chided herself for her naivety. When she first
discovered Joseph the scumbag and Xavia had a one-night stand, she should have distanced Chloe from him. If she had not
forgiven him, Chloe would not have had to endure this injustice. She was truly blind-having misjudged Joseph’s character. She
had inadvertently caused harm to her dear friend. Joseph’s voice remained indifferent as he responded, “Don’t even think about
taking Chloe away. It’s futile. Save your energy.” Fueled by anger, Emily shouted back, “If you want to treat her like this, why
don’t you just let her go?!” He paused for a moment, deep in thought. Why... He could not quite pinpoint the exact reason. It was
not solely for the sake of revenge against Chloe... Definitely not. He had never been one to waste time on useless individuals.
He thought that since he could not let go, perhaps they could continue to torment each other. It was better than having no
connection at all. Chloe slept for a whole day, or rather, she just languished in bed. Through Lucas, she received word that Emily
was doing well, which provided some relief to her anxious heart. In a dazed state, she found herself on the eve of the scheduled
abortion surgery. But due to signs of a potential miscarriage, she had to undergo preoperative examinations. With the assistance
of a nurse, she completed the necessary tests and returned to her ward to rest. The doctor handed the examination results to
Joseph. “Sir, your wife is showing symptoms of anemia, and based on the examination report, her condition is deteriorating. It’d
be risky to proceed with the surgery in her current state. If she wants to proceed, she should improve her health first.” Joseph
was caught off guard. “Anemia is a common condition, isn’t it? Does it really have such a significant impact?” “Yes, but the
severity of your wife’s symptoms is concerning.” “What can we do to improve her health?” “I’ll prescribe her some medication, but
in addition to that, you could also explore herbal remedies for anemia. ” Joseph recalled the herbalist, Doctor Frederick, whom
he had called on before. Without hesitation, he returned to the ward and took Chloe along with him to find the herbalist. Like a
wooden doll, Chloe followed him with a vacant expression, devoid of any vitality. Joseph gently cupped her cheeks and
compelled her to meet his gaze. “Aren’t you curious about where we’re going?” “Our destination won’t change whether I ask or
not, so what’s the point of asking?” Joseph released his grip on her and let out a cold snort. “At least you’re sensible.” At the
clinic, Frederick measured Chloe’s blood pressure. Before he could say anything, Joseph instructed Lucas to take Chloe back to
the car. Chloe, too weak to speculate on his intentions, silently followed Lucas. As he watched Chloe leave, Frederick remarked,
“Her anemia is quite severe.” “Please prescribe the medication,” Joseph paused, “She’s pregnant by the way.” “I know. I’ve
already taken note of that. I’ll make sure not to use any ingredients that pregnant women should avoid.” Frederick looked
puzzled for a moment and asked, According to the timeline, when you requested medication for menstrual pain through your
assistant, she was already pregnant. Did you not realize it at that time?” “I believe she should’ve noticed.” “Ah, then why didn’t
she inform me?” “I don’t know.” There was no change in Joseph’s expression as if they were discussing what to have for dinner.
Frederick’s mouth fell open, sensing the sudden chill in the air. He felt a growing unease and avoided eye contact with Joseph.
After a moment of silence, he let out a dry laugh. “Perhaps she wanted to surprise you.” Joseph did not continue the
conversation as he waited to collect the medication. Inside the car, with no one else around, Chloe glanced around, pondered for
a few seconds, and said to Lucas, “Could you do me a favor?
