FULL NOVELXO Chapter 264
On the other side, Joseph was recuperating in a private villa in the suburbs alone.
Today, he had taken the medicine that he took, and it was the last time for the first treatment. He knew that Chloe would definitely send someone to deliver the medicine tonight.
It was not that he was confident that she still had many feelings for him.
It was just that she did not want to owe him.
At first, during the day, other than feeling pain in his chest, Joseph felt better, but unexpectedly, he had a high fever in the night!
“Max… Max?”
Joseph’s throat was hoarse and dry, his body was cold and hot, and his eyes were almost unable to open.
After shouting a few times, he remembered that he had sent Max to the group to get important documents. At this time, he was still running on the road.
Joseph struggled to get up, only to find that the sheets and quilt were all soaked in sweat. The black bangs were stuck to his forehead, and his whole person was wet as if he had been salvaged from the sea.
He changed into a set of pajamas and went downstairs to find water to drink.
At that time the doorbell rang.
Joseph was confused, slowly walked over and opened the communicator.
The moment Chloe’s indescribably beautiful face entered his eyes, his dim eyes suddenly lit up, and his heart almost jumped out of control.
“Joseph, I know you’re inside. Open the door.” Chloe’s face was as cold as water, and her eyes looked straight at the camera.
“…” Joseph pursed his thin lips and fell silent..
“Are
you dead or deaf? Open the door.”
“If you have your last words, hurry up and write it. If not, I will collect your corpse!” Chloe said with a frown.
“Cough…” The man couldn’t help but cough out after being pecked by her powerful mouth.
“Don’t think that you are the only one who knows how to use that move of yours. I know it too.”
Chloe was a little anxious. Her little temper came up and she pounded hard on the door. “If you don’t come out, I won’t leave…”
Unexpectedly, her voice had yet to fall.
The door actually opened.
Joseph, who was wearing dark blue pajamas and had a face as pale as frost, stood upright in front of her, gently smiling. His smile was weak and stunning.
“Miss Thorp, it’s very cold outside. Come in.”
How could he bear to let her freeze outside? He would be distressed.
Chloe looked at Joseph, who had lost a lot of weight, and her heart suddenly felt empty.
His complexion was so bad that it was visible to the naked eye.
Didn’t he take the medicine on time? He looked much better a while ago, how did it become like this?
Chloe bit her lower lip and entered the door.
Joseph forced himself to stay awake and brought her to the living room.
“How did Miss Thorp come over? Did Max tell you this place?”
“Don’t blame Secretary Johnson. He is also thinking for you.”
Chloe sat down on the sofa and looked at him with a stern gaze. Her voice was clean and there was a faint coldness in it. There was no concern. “You don’t have sevral reliable people by your side. If you really drove Max away because of this, then you are really muddle-headed.”
“There is no point in following a fatuous ruler like KS. Don’t cry when the time comes.”
you. When the time comes, I will hire Secretary Johnson to work in our
“Miss Thorp, you think too much.” Joseph looked deeply into her eyes.
Because of the joy in his heart, even if he pretended to be calm, his dry lips could not help but rise, “Max has been with me for so many years, how could I bear to let him leave? I just…”
“I was afraid you would worry!”
He suddenly remembered that night, when Chloe and Jerome stood together, they would definitely distance themselves from him, and even their entire bodies would be repulsed and bored of him.
These four words, he no longer had the confidence to say them out loud.
“Calling me Miss Thorp, you’re so polite. Why aren’t you called Chloe anymore?” Chloe narrowed her almond eyes and asked with an insincere smile.
“Because I know that you don’t like it.”
Chloe’s beautiful eyes widened. For some reason, her heart ached
“In the past, it was my fault. I forced you too much. In the future, I won’t do anything that will make you feel uncomfortable.”
Joseph’s pale face had a kind of broken and sickly beauty, which made Chloe fall into a trance.
She coughed lightly and put the medicine bottle on the table. Then she got up and said, “During the second course of treatment, remember to eat it on time. Let’s go.”
“No need, take it back.” The man shook his head.
“Joseph, what do you mean? Do you not want to live anymore?”
“You are new in the business world and have a net worth of nearly 100 billion. Are you willing to die?” Chloe frowned.
“No, I just feel that you don’t owe me anything. Even if I save you, it is me who is repaying you. I am atoning for my sins.”
“You don’t have to blame yourself for what I have done. Besides, my body is much better now. I don’t need to take medicine anymore.”
Good? Who are you lying to?
Chloe was very angry in her heart. She sneered, “What is this new trick? Is it to retreat to advance? Unfortunately, it won’t work on me. I am not as soft-hearted as before.”
“I know.” “So there is only feelings, no skilld. I really don’t need it.” Joseph smiled bitterly.
Hearing this, Chloe had mixed feelings in her heart. She said with a cold face, “In that case, I have nothing to say. If you don’t accept my feelings, I don’t need to put my face on your cold butt I’m not that cheap.”
“After this course of treatment, you don’t have to use medicine anymore. It’s a medicine with three parts poison. It’s not good to eat too much. You should pray for yourself.”
After saying that, she was about to leave but was stopped by Joseph.
“It’s rare that you came to find me. It’s cold outside. Have a cup of hot tea before you leave. I’ll go make it soon.”
Chloe hesitated for a moment and unexpectedly did not refuse him.
She sat back on the sofa and watched Joseph’s tall and handsome back walk towards the kitchen.
In her mind, she recalled what her big brother had said to her.
In terms of sincerity, she and Joseph were the same kind of people. Whoever she thought of, she always wanted to dig out her heart and show it to the other person.
Unfortunately, she had loved him so passionately that he had dismissed her, and it was really difficult for her to open her heart to him again in the future.
Suddenly, there was a loud sound –
Then, there was the sound of a cup shattering on the ground!
“Joseph”
Chloe’s heart trembled, and she suddenly got up and went straight to the kitchen!
On the marble floor, the ceramic cup was shattered on the ground.
Joseph was kneeling on the broken pieces of porcelain, one hand on the ground, the other hand clinging to the edge of the table, his whole body soaked in sweat, breathing weakly and laboriously.
“You… What happened to you?”
Chloe’s expression changed, and she rushed forward to help him up.
But the man in the illness was too heavy, and she tried her best to support him.
There was no other way. Chloe could only squat down and pull away the sharp fragments with both hands, afraid that he would fall at any time and cut his body!
“Chloe… Chloe…”
Joseph raised his head with all his strength, burning his cheeks red, his eyes blurred and unfocused.
Chloe was stunned and quickly stroked his forehead…
It was so hot!
“How could this be? How could you have a fever?”
Chloe was burning with anxiety. She was shocked and angry. She shouted at him with red eyes, “Did you take the medicine on time? Bastard!”
Joseph’s breathing was hot and he was burning in a daze. He instinctively opened his arms and hugged the woman in front of him who he loved deeply.
“Chloe… Please give me a bit of love… Please… just a little…”
Chloe’s emotions surged, her lips slightly parted, and her eyes slowly reddened with astonishment.
“Joseph, you…”
“I want you… to give me a bit of love.”
In the depths of Joseph’s dry throat, a muffled and hoarse voice rolled out, tugging at her heartstrings. “But I’m afraid… because I know that I’m not worthy..
