Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love

Chapter 788 Harmonious on the Outside, Rotten on the Inside

Vanya was concerned over drawing Noah's notice, thus she maintained a vigilant 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 splashed 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?" Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

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 the company 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, contemplating whether he had been working too much lately and had neglected her. After a while, he went downstairs, then came back with a glass of honey water and a slice of cake.

Placing them on the table, he said, "Have this if you get hungry. I’ll come back and check on you tonight."

Chloe covered herself with the blanket. 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 collapsed wearily onto the floor. Retrieving her phone from beneath the pillow, she began looking through various platforms for information on Eustace Hubble. After scrolling through page after page, she finally stumbled upon the name among the employees of a certain company. She also found the name of the legal representative of this company somewhat familiar.

The man was Noah's secretary.

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