Chapter 600 You Shouldn’t Treat Chloe This Way

Without waiting for Joseph to speak, Tyson was the first to raise his voice sternly. "What the hell do

you think you're doing? Release her immediately!"

The young officer was taken aback by Tyson’s yell, causing him to loosen his grip and allow Emily

to escape. She covered her mouth as she spat out a tooth stained with blood.

Chloe felt overwhelmed with guilt at the sight before her. Fortunately, they were in the hospital. Her

almond eyes lacked their usual warmth and her voice was devoid of emotion as she said to Joseph,

"Open the door. I'm taking Em to see a doctor."

Joseph was unaccustomed to the way she looked at him—indifferent and icy—as if she were

looking at a stranger. "I'll get Lucas to take her. You stay here."

Chloe's heart sank, and her pupils dilated in disbelief. Joseph's response stabbed at her like a

dagger. It was incomprehensible to her. "My friend is injured, and I want to accompany her to see a

doctor. And all of this is because of you, yet you want to deprive me of the right to go with her?"

"You're not a doctor. What's the use of you going?"

Chloe was rendered speechless. She knew Joseph had a questionable moral compass, but how

could he display such indifference when Emily had just lost her teeth right in front of him? Was he

truly so heartless?

She watched helplessly as Lucas took Emily away. She felt utterly powerless as if all her energy

had been drained, leaving her in a state of despair. The person guarding Chloe noticed her distress

and advised her to get some rest.

Joseph opened the door to the ward and said in a cold tone, "If you hadn't let your friend come,

none of this would’ve happened. And even if she comes, she can’t get you out."

Chloe raised her head calmly, her expression devoid of emotion except for deep-seated hatred. "By

keeping me locked up here, you're only fueling my hatred for you."

She was determined not to terminate the pregnancy. She would give birth to the child and raise it

with love and care. And she vowed that her child would never know they had such a heartless

father.

Joseph felt a sharp pang in his heart as her words pierced his conscience. 'Shouldn't I be the one

filled with hatred toward her?' he thought, his emotions swirling like a turbulent whirlwind.

Ignoring him, Chloe entered the ward and quietly settled by the window, her gaze fixed on the

outside world as her mind wandered in deep contemplation.

After reprimanding the young officer, Tyson patted Joseph's shoulder with a serious expression

before leaving. "In all fairness, you shouldn't treat Chloe this way."

Joseph's long, dark lashes quivered with a mix of emotions. "Why?"

"You got Xavia pregnant, and now Chloe is carrying someone else's child. Now, it's evened out. You

can't expect to have everything your way while denying others the same.”

Tyson's words struck Joseph's heart like a relentless hammer, each impact resounding deeply

within him. He stood motionless, his mind momentarily empty. Realization washed over him that,

despite his previous superiority, he now found himself standing in the same shoes as Chloe.

In that fleeting moment, he grasped a glimpse of the pain she had endured. Accepting that the child

of the person you love belonged to someone else was a heart-wrenching realization to endure.

Yet, within a heartbeat, Joseph swiftly regained his composure. "We're different," he asserted,

"Chloe and Icarus were aware and willing participants, while I wasn’t."

Tyson saw through everything. "Perhaps Chloe doesn't like Icarus either. It could’ve been an

accident too. Otherwise, why would she choose to stay with you?"

Joseph was rendered speechless. His face remained composed, but his internal composure

wavered slightly. "That's enough. Icarus has already confessed."

Tyson sneered, shrugged, and departed with his young colleague. Meanwhile, Joseph made his

way to the fourth floor to inquire about Emily's condition at the dental department.
