Chapter 170 Dumbo’s Restraint With Her Love

Joseph paused, his thin lips pressed together tightly. “I don’t need you to do this.

“I understand, but I want to do something for you,” she replied. If Chloe had the chance to assist the

Whitmans, she would seize it.

A myriad of emotions swirled in Joseph’s eyes as he tightened his grip on her shoulder.

Confronted with his daughter’s future, Richard’s face paled, and he ultimately relented. In the grand

scheme of things, what worth did money hold compared to his daughter’s future?

After discussing it with Joseph, Chloe made the decision not to inform Harold about the incident.

Considering his heart condition, she felt it best to spare him the added stress.

“Before anything else, let’s head to the hospital to avoid you getting a fever.”

“Okay, I’ve been feeling hot then cold. I don’t feel so good.” Chloe sneezed and sensed a heaviness in

her head.

Joseph glanced at her, noting the abnormal flush on her typically pale face. Her voice sounded. hoarse,

a clear sign of a cold coming on.

His lips tightened into a firm line. “You’ve been through a lot today.”

Chloe paused, her expression reflecting surprise. “Are you feeling guilty?”

It seemed she had grown accustomed to the notion that most men would simply take things for

granted.

Joseph’s mouth twitched with a mix of irritation and amusement. “Do you really think I’m heartless?”

“Just kidding. You’re amazing. In my heart, you’re a considerate and handsome man, the epitome of

perfection.”

‘Well, except for that fiery temper of yours,’ Chloe added silently in her mind.

Joseph’s lips curled into a slight smile. “You know your place”

“By the way, are you a good swimmer? I saw that you wanted to jump into the reservoir to save me,”

Chloe asked earnestly, “Though I was touched, please don’t do it again. It’s all too easy for a rescuer to

become a victim.”

“Shut up. There won’t be a next time.

“Ack, right, no next time. Slip of the tongue!”

“I was going to save you out of duty. You’re my legal wife, and it’s my responsibility to protect

you.”

Chloe blinked, and a realization dawned upon her. The man standing before her possessed numerous

admirable qualities. In a world where many men bring chans at the beginning and Jonment at the end

of relationships, she understood that appearances and wealth were not the most crucial factors. What

truly mattered was a sense of responsibility.

When they arrived at the hospital, Chloe succumbed to heavy drowsiness after receiving the IV drip

and soon drifted off to sleep.

Upon hearing the news, Emily rushed to the hospital with great haste. Lucas intercepted her, his voice

lowered. “Ms. Chloe has a high fever and is currently resting.”

Emily’s anxiety welled up, threatening to spill over into tears. Summoning her courage, she fiercely

scolded Joseph, “If you’re a real man, you should deal with the crazy admirers. surrounding you. Why

should Coco suffer these unwarranted tribulations?”

With more rivals like Jane in the picture, Chloe’s life would be in constant danger.

Thinking about how Chloe lost her mother at a young age and was bullied by Ava, Emily’s anger

intensified. “So, money makes you superior, huh? Money makes you indifferent to the lives of others,

huh?!”

Lucas swiftly covered Emily’s mouth, trembling as he apologized to Joseph. “Sir, please excuse her

outburst. She didn’t mean it.’

“I handled this matter poorly, and I apologize.” Joseph unexpectedly displayed a good temper. His

attitude was sincere, devoid of any arrogance. After a brief pause, he continued, “However, I have a

question. Is Jake really Chloe’s ex-boyfriend?”

Was Chloe’s taste really that poor? Did she have such poor vision when she knew Jake and then

miraculously undergo corrective surgery after getting to know him?

Emily’s fiery demeanor suddenly waned, and she forced an awkward smile. “No, who told you such

nonsense?”

Joseph maintained his composure, his presence still commanding, as he pressed for clarification. “Are

you absolutely certain?”

“Sob, sob. Please don’t pressure me. I honestly don’t know anything. I just came here to check. on

Coco.”

Lucas was at a loss for words at Emily’s abrupt shift in demeanor. It seemed like she did not say

anything, yet it also felt like she did.

Joseph’s gaze shifted toward Chloe lying on the hospital bed, his eyes axo.com fast updates calm

as water, concealing his thoughts from prying eyes.

Emily hesitated, racking her brain to find a way to defend her sister.

“Is Chloe nearsighted?”

Emily paused, not quite grasping the question. “Nearsighted… I suppose she is, to some extent.

Joseph nodded subtly, affirming his thoughts. He had suspected as much. Someone like Jake could

hardly be considered a worthy rival to him.

Lucas noticed their reactions and subtly signaled to Emily. He deliberately spoke loudly, ” What are you

holding? Is it Ms. Chloe’s belongings?”

“Ah… yes, yes, it is. This is a birthday gift that Coco bought for you,” said Emily as she handed the gift

bag to Joseph.

“What is it?”

“You’ll have to open it and see for yourself.”

Joseph’s heart skipped a beat, a tinge of anticipation washing over his face as he nonchalantly

unwrapped the gift. “A set of pajamas?”

“Yes, Chloe mentioned that she hopes it can bring warmth to your home,” Emily lied smoothly, her

expression unwavering. “She has a matching one as well, so you can dine together at home and

symbolize your love all the time.”

Joseph chuckled, a touch of sweetness mingling with his amusement. “Really?”

“Yes, of course! Coco likes you a lot. You’re the only one in her heart. She even constantly talks about

you whenever we’re together.”

“To make fun of you.’

The curve of Joseph’s lips gradually grew wider. Just as he expected. This dumbo was restraining her

love for him in their daily interaction
