Chapter 565 Proper Exercise

Joseph made light of this question. "Sure. Given your insight, I'm curious to see what kind of man

you'll get for Chloe."

Harold cursed. They were used to arguing with each other, so neither of them took it to heart.

"You know, I can help you take care of the baby after Xavia gives birth."

Of course, it was a dilemma to insert the baby between the two of them.

Joseph's face turned dull. "Let's talk about this another time."

"Fine. I won’t meddle in your business. Do whatever you want."

"How's your health been recently?"

"Don't worry, I won't die yet," he then added after a pause, "Dr. Spencer delivered the medicine for

next week today. The Sinclairs just can't wait to kill me, so I think we should up our plan."

Harold had lost his patience and felt it would be disadvantageous to the Whitmans if it was delayed

any longer. He had been a soldier for more than three decades, so he might as well fight against

them. They were undoubtedly wicked for always plotting against him.

Joseph had on a pondering expression before a fierce light flickered past his eyes. "We'll start next

Tuesday."

"Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Joseph walked into the bedroom. He looked around the room that he

had once stayed in with Chloe, the scent of her still lingered in the air. His eyes turned dull as he

gripped the blanket and covered himself with it, forcing himself to go to sleep. She was the one who

insisted on leaving. If he missed her, it would be quite demeaning.

However, he did not sleep soundly that night. He had vague illusions of Chloe still there sleeping

beside him, but the vacant spot beside him knocked some sense into him every time he opened his

eyes.

Chloe went back to how her life used to be.

Upon waking at the Johnson residence, she checked her phone and found that she had not

received any messages. Everything was so quiet that the only thing she heard was the sound of her

breathing. It was as if she had been abandoned by the whole world.

An inexplicable sense of oppression hit her. She shook her head and stopped her wild thoughts.

She had to go to the hospital for a check-up today to assess her baby's condition. She should be

about just four months along now.

When Chloe was about to head out, Noah texted her.

[Hey, how are you doing? Has Joseph released you?]

She smacked her head in frustration, realizing she had forgotten to reply to him the day before. It

was because he had informed Harold about what was happening that she was released. She

immediately replied to his message.

[Yeah, he let me out last night.]

[What's your relationship status with him now?]

[We no longer have anything to do with each other.]

[Don't be upset. You'll find a more suitable man.]

[I hope so too,] Chloe joked. Sitting in the car, she said, [Thank you for last night. I'll treat you to a

meal sometime. Now, I’m about to drive to the hospital. Talk to you later.]

Chloe was not very skillful in driving, so her driving speed was extremely slow. When she was

waiting for the traffic light, the driver of a car next to her lowered his car window and looked at

Chloe's car in jealousy.

"This is a limited-edition car. It's an absolute beauty. Can I take a photo? I don’t think it’s even on

sale locally yet."

Chloe's expression stiffened slightly before recalling that this was a gift from Joseph. Awkwardness

flashed across her eyes. She felt that she should not be using things he had gifted to her after

breaking up with him, but on second thought, it was not her fault that they had broken up. She had

given her heart to him and did not make light of his love. Hence, she reasoned that she should not

feel awkward at all. It was what she deserved.

"Go ahead,” she said to the man casually after sorting out her thoughts.

"Thank you, beautiful."

Unexpectedly, the person took a photo of the car and Chloe, posting it on the Internet to show off. [I

bumped into a rich lady today. I'm so jealous.]

Arriving at the hospital, Chloe took her phone out while waiting for her turn. She then got a text from

Noah.

[Would you like to meet up today? I don't have a class and I don’t have any urgent business at

Exotic Star. How about it?]

After some thought, she agreed to it since she had nothing else to do this afternoon.

Chloe had opted for VIP service and soon called in for her B-mode ultrasound. As the doctor

scanned her tummy and looked at the image projection, he said, "Your baby looks good. Its

condition is much stabler now. You can get some exercise such as taking a walk or swimming. It

can help strengthen the cardiopulmonary and neurological functions of your body. Aim to improve

your blood circulation and exercise the muscles around your waist, back, thighs, and pelvis to get

your body in shape for delivery."

Chloe blinked. "I can go swimming?"

In the past, she had loved going for a dip when she had some free time. It was very relaxing to

immerse oneself in a body of water, and she could maintain her body shape at the same time.

"Yes, you can exercise as long as you don't overdo it."

"Okay, thank you, doctor."
