Chapter 463 My Pregnancy Will Be Exposed

Suddenly, tear gas was thrown in from the outside and fell at the leader’s feet. In the next second, it

emitted a dazzling white light, causing temporary vision loss.

Chloe immediately shut her eyes. She reacted quickly and took off her windbreaker to put it over her

head for fear that she might inhale the gas, waiting to be rescued.

Bang!

The iron door was knocked open with a loud noise. A cold hand grasped hers. “Keep your eyes closed

and cover your mouth and nose. Follow me.”

They had been lying in wait there an hour ago. However, they did not dare to act rashly for fear that she

might be forcefully taken again. Hence, they could only lie in wait and wait for the right time.

Surprise overwhelmed Chloe. It was Joseph. She inevitably sobbed. “Okay.”

“Motherfucker! You can’t leave!” The leader grabbed Chloe’s other arm as if he wanted to break her

into two halves. If she was gone, they would be doomed.

Fierceness engulfed Joseph’s eyes before he kicked the man’s chest and sent the latter flying.

Because of the tear gas, the robbers’ fighting capacities dropped drastically. Their faces filled with tears

as they coughed ceaselessly.

A large group of armed officers rushed into the room with gas masks on. Soon, they subdued the few

robbers.

Joseph was worried that Chloe might inhale too much of the gas if she stayed there for long.

Hence, he simply carried her and rushed to the car outside.

“How are you feeling? Are you feeling sick?”

During those short four hours, she had suffered a life-and-death disaster. While looking at him, she

finally failed to suppress her tears. It was not soft sobbing but uncontrollable wailing and crying. She

was filled with a deep fear that she might never see him again.

When she had been greatly nervous, and was forced to calm herself. For an entire afternoon, she did

not know what to do.

Large droplets of hot tears fell on the back of Joseph’s hand. It filled him with vehement fear and

anxiety. For a moment, he wondered if she had accidentally inhaled the gas.

“Hold on. We’ll be at the hospital soon.”

When she heard the words “hospital,” she stopped crying. With tears on her face, she shook her head.

“No, I don’t want to go to the hospital.”

If she went to the hospital, her pregnancy would be exposed.

“You have to go and get a full body check-up. Tear gas is harmful.”

“I didn’t inhale it. I was holding my breath, and I even closed my eyes.”

“Regardless, you have to get a check-up. It’ll be quick.”

When Chloe noticed him playing hardball, she knew that it was impossible to turn him down. Hence,

she kept quiet. If she continued to argue with him, he might find something amiss. She had yet to come

up with a reason to refuse to go to the hospital.

They rode in a police car, so it was a smooth ride. They arrived at the hospital in half an hour. Joseph

held Chloe’s hand as they got out of the car.

“Wait.” Tyson stopped them from behind. “Come to the station to give your testimony later.”

Chloe averted her gaze. “I can go there and give my testimony now.”

Tyson let out an “Oh,” having yet to sort out his thoughts.

“Joseph insists on me going to the hospital for a check-up, but I’m fine. There’s no need to waste time.

Even if I want to get a check-up, I should wait for the specialists to come to work in the morning before

coming on, right? It won’t be too late then. What do you think?”

Tyson fell silent for a moment. After some hesitation, he said, “Yes, you should get a proper check-up.

Come back tomorrow.” He looked at Joseph. “This is a serious case. We should get her testimony as

soon as possible.”

Joseph scrutinized Chloe. “Are you sure you’re okay?”

“Yes.”

“Okay, we’ll come back tomorrow then.”

Chloe secretly heaved a sigh before she threw Tyson a grateful look. The latter touched his nose with

inexplicable guilt. He felt that he had sided with an outsider.

The sun rose from the east, and the sky gradually brightened. Chloe was filled with exhaustion when

she exited the station. Seeing this, Joseph felt sorry for her.

“Go home and have a hot bath before going to bed.”

“Hmm, you should get some sleep too. Don’t go to the office today. Take the day off.”

“All right.”

When Xavia learned that Chloe was rescued, her anger got the better of her and she smashed her

glass on the floor.

Vanya raised a sarcastic remark. “It seems like everyone cares for her.”

“Forget her. I don’t know how Noah learned about Eustace. What should we do now?”

“What else can we do? He’s dead. So what if Noah has his phone? It’s fine as long as you don’t

admit to it.”

“What if he isn’t dead?”

Vanya’s eyelids twitched. “That’s impossible. I shot him several times.”

“But what if?”

If Eustace was alive, their plan would fail, and she would be pushed into an endless abyss.

“Why don’t we go the whole hog and kill Noah…” Xavia glided her finger across her neck.

Vanya glared at the former. “Do you think he’s Eustace? Is he an ordinary man who’s easily ignored?”

If it was that easy to resolve, she would do that on her own.

Awkwardness crept up Xavia’s face. After a pause, she stated, “Go and feel him out. See how

much he knows about Eustace.”

Vanya sneered. “I’m not under your command. Contact S. If he allows it, I’ll do it.”

Xavia said, “Forget it, it’s too troublesome.”

Joseph woke Chloe up by gently pushing her shoulders. His voice was magnetic and deep. “Mr.

Desmond and Grandpa are here.”
