Chapter 587 Chloe Can Do an Amniocentesis

The red-haired men howled in pain, struggling and attempting to fight back. Icarus unleashed a

brutal assault on one of them, relentlessly pounding him.

"You monsters! How could you prey on a pregnant woman!"

"What the hell is wrong with you?! It's not like it's your child!" one of the men retorted.

"Who said it isn’t?! It's my child!" Icarus roared, increasing the intensity of his blows. He delivered a

powerful punch to the head of one of the assailants, rendering him unconscious.

Icarus rose to his feet and noticed Chloe was covering up her chest with her tattered clothes and

shivering from the cold. Without hesitation, he took off his own coat and draped it over her.

"Are you okay?" he asked

Chloe's lips grew pale as she sniffled, still recovering from the shock. Her mind had not fully

grasped Icarus' words, but she had a nagging feeling that something was wrong. Just as she was

about to speak, she lifted her gaze and saw Joseph standing at the entrance of the restroom,

staring at both of them intensely.

His expression was grim, exuding a chilling aura that sent shivers down her spine.

Past memories flashed through her mind, and she recalled the things Otto had said a few days ago.

"Jojo, these two men wanted to...to harm me..." Chloe said, her grievances welling up inside.

"Harm? I'm afraid they interrupted your little rendezvous, didn't they?" Joseph said. His tone dripped

with contempt and his handsome face contorted with anger.

She was taken aback. "What are you talking about?"

"If I hadn't realized you were gone and found my way here, were the two of you planning to indulge

in some illicit affair? Chloe, look at yourself—your chest is exposed. How could you still be such a

slut while carrying a baby? The photos taken by Duskfall, concealing the pregnancy, and even him

buying clothes for the baby... I can't believe I actually believe in you through all of it."

Chloe's face grew pale as she replayed Icarus' words in her mind, and suddenly, everything fell into

place. It all made sense now. Her mind went blank, realizing the reason behind Joseph's anger.

Icarus' words had been intentionally misleading.

"Mr. Joseph, you misunderstood me. I may not have expressed myself clearly in my haste. What I

meant is that I'm willing to treat Chloe and your child as my own," Icarus explained, his face filled

with apology.

A cruel smirk appeared on Joseph's face as he grabbed something nearby and flung it at Icarus.

Holding on to his now bleeding forehead, Icarus winced in pain as blood seeped through his fingers.

Chloe hurriedly stepped forward to stop Joseph. "Stop it! There's been a misunderstanding! Let me

explain everything to you when we get back."

"Get away from me!" Joseph rudely pushed her away.

Chloe slipped and collided with the sink. Panic gripped her as she felt a rush of liquid flowing down

her legs. She pleaded, "Please take me to the hospital. My stomach hurts so badly..."

Joseph's gaze fell upon her bloodstained skirt and his pupils contracted. Subconsciously, he

scooped her up and rushed toward the hospital. Once Chloe was admitted to the emergency room,

he angrily punched the wall.

'Damn it! She cheated on me, so why do I still care about her so much? Why did I even bother

bringing her here?'

Since she had betrayed him, he felt it was best if she lost the child. He could not understand. Was

he not good enough for her? He had even compromised over Xavia, so why was she not satisfied?

Upon receiving the news, Lucas immediately informed Emily. When she arrived, she broke into

tears in front of the emergency room. Unable to control her emotions, she shouted at Joseph, "Is

this how you take care of Chloe?! She's pregnant!"

Joseph sneered, "She may be pregnant, but she's not carrying my child."

Emily stood there with her mouth agape, unable to comprehend his words. Lucas recounted the

events that had just transpired.

"That’s impossible! Chloe would never do such a thing!" Emily could not believe it as she defended

her close friend.

They had known each other for over a decade, and Emily knew Chloe's character very well. She

was gentle on the outside but strong on the inside. She would never do such a thing.

While Icarus had a better temperament than Joseph, Chloe had fallen in love with Joseph, and

nothing would not easily change that. Besides, engaging in such despicable acts during pregnancy

was something that only people like Ava would do.

Joseph's anger blazed, and he had no intention of listening to her words. They were best friends, so

it was possible that Emily had known all along and helped Chloe keep it a secret.

Emily met Joseph's mocking gaze and wanted to say something, but Lucas pulled her back and

whispered, "Don't provoke Mr. Joseph for now. It's useless to say anything without evidence."

Joseph's rage was beyond what they could bear.

"What evidence do you need? We can have Chloe do an amniocentesis!" Emily retorted, refusing to

accept it and arguing back.

"It's none of your business. Stop meddling in our affairs," Joseph said coldly, ordering Lucas to take

Emily away.

Lucas dared not defy Joseph’s order. He did not want anything to happen to Emily, so he forcibly

pulled her away.

Joseph stood rooted to the spot, clenching his fist tightly. His eyes shimmered with a bloodthirsty

glint as he called someone.

"Get Icarus and send him to my house."

He wanted Icarus to regret everything he had done. He wanted to make his life worse than death.

Two hours later, a doctor stepped out of the emergency room.
