Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love

Chapter 588 You Want to Kill Our Child?!

"We managed to save the baby. There was minimal bleeding, but the patient's body is particularly weak, which increases the risk of premature birth or miscarriage in the later stages. Mr. Joseph, you have to take good care of the patient from now on," the doctor reported.

"The child is safe?" Joseph raised an eyebrow, his eyes filled with piercing coldness. "Arrange for an abortion immediately."

He would not allow her to birth the product of a union between her and another man.

The doctor was taken aback. "Well... The patient is too weak at the moment, so we can’t perform the surgery immediately."

"When’s the earliest possible time?" Joseph inquired.

"It's hard to say. Perhaps in about a week."

Joseph closed his eyes and remained silent.

The doctor left the room. The truth was, the abortion could be arranged as early as tomorrow, but Chloe had pleaded with the doctor in the emergency room, telling him that this was the first child she conceived with the person she loved dearly. She begged him to save the baby, as she could not bear the thought of losing it.

Aside from Joseph, the child was Chloe’s only family in this world. So when Joseph asked for an abortion, the doctor decided to lie to him. He hoped that within a week, Chloe and Joseph would resolve their conflicts and decide to keep the child.

Chloe woke up, and her eyes landed on the man in her ward.

The first thing she did was nervously touch her belly. Thankfully, the baby was still there. She struggled to sit up and cautiously held onto the man's hand. "Nothing happened between Icarus and me. The baby in my belly has nothing to do with him. I swear."

"Is that so?" Joseph pressed his throbbing temple, his eyes burning crimson as he stared at her intently. "Icarus has confessed everything. Are you still going to deny it?" This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

Chloe licked her parched lips.

"Confess? Confess what?" she asked in confusion.

Veins pulsated on the back of Joseph's hand as he struggled to control his emotions. "He admitted to everything, every sordid detail of your affair. Continuing to deceive me is meaningless. It only disgusts me."

Just half an hour before Chloe woke up, a call came in. Icarus had confessed everything from beginning to end. He even admitted that the child in Chloe's belly was indeed his own.

Upon receiving this news, Joseph was filled with doubts. He desperately wanted to believe Chloe, but unusual circumstances between her and Icarus had occurred more than once. Despite everything, his love for her remained strong. He had envisioned a lifetime together, offering his heartfelt love, only to be met with betrayal.

How could she do this to him?

Chloe froze as tears fell relentlessly. "It's impossible... How could Icarus say such things?" she mumbled, unable to believe it. "We never did any of those things. Why would he make such false accusations about me? Why?"

Anger, resentment, and unwillingness swirled in her heart, leaving Chloe overwhelmed. She murmured to herself, her face devoid of color. Beside her, Joseph looked on coldly, his eyes void of

any emotion. He did not want to believe in her anymore.

Meeting his mocking and disdainful gaze, Chloe could not hold back any longer. She shouted in anger, "Bring Icarus here! I want to confront him face-to-face!"

"That's not necessary."

"What do you mean?"

"He’s probably already dead by now. If he's lucky, he might have one last breath left."

Chloe shuddered and yanked out the IV needle, stumbling as she tried to make her way out. She wanted to see Icarus and clarify everything.

Seeing her do this, Joseph thought Chloe was worried about Icarus' well-being. Filled with rage, he forcefully dragged her back to the bed and grabbed a piece of paper from the table. "Sign it."

Chloe looked at the words "Abortion Consent Form" on the paper and raised her head, glaring at him. "You want to kill our child?!”
