Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love

Chapter 602 Lose Her Life on the Operating Table

Lucas did not hesitate and guessed what she wanted to say in a second. "Are you asking me to let you go, Ms. Chloe?"

Chloe was taken aback for a moment. "Not exactly, but it's related to that." She was alone and could not just sit here and wait for Noah to save her. Tomorrow was the day of the abortion, and she was filled with fear.

"I'm sorry, but I can't help you," Lucas firmly declined. He was loyal to Mr. Joseph, having worked with him since graduation. Though he was kept busy and had been exhausted every day for all these years, the knowledge and opportunities he had gained were thanks to Mr. Joseph's support. He could not bring himself to bite the hand that feeds him.

Chloe's eyes dimmed. This outcome was within her expectations. "Then can you tell me where Icarus is now and how he's doing?"

‘If what Joseph said was true, there might be no evidence to prove her innocence.’

Lucas hesitated before responding, "I was waiting outside that day and didn't witness what happened inside, but… I heard the sounds of a struggle. After Mr. Joseph came out, Icarus didn’t appear..."

Chloe's heart sank. ‘He didn’t appear... If Joseph was telling the truth, then it's highly likely that Icarus...’

She shuddered, realizing that now there was no evidence to prove her innocence. However, the important thing at the moment was not proving herself innocent, but escaping the impending surgery.

Chloe took a deep breath, an icy coldness crossing her bright and delicate face. When a person was pushed to a dead end, extreme thoughts inevitably emerged...

Frederick carefully prepared the medicine, ensuring each package was adequately labeled with clear instructions. "This is a three-course treatment. Finish them within a month. If she experiences abdominal pain or any other symptoms, seek immediate medical attention."

"Thank you." Joseph handed his card to the apprentice.

Suddenly, Frederick asked, "Which hospital are you visiting and which doctor is attending to you?"

Joseph answered honestly, holding nothing back.

Frederick's expression subtly changed. Just as Joseph was about to take the medicine and leave, Frederick halted him. "I know that doctor. He specializes in performing abortion procedures. You're not taking your wife there for prenatal care, are you?"

Joseph's handsome face remained impassive. His long eyelashes drooped slightly, casting a small shadow under his eye sockets, making it impossible to guess his thoughts.

Frederick felt a twinge of unease and regretted speaking so bluntly.

"What are you trying to say?" Joseph asked.

"That doctor must have already informed you that your wife is in no condition to undergo an abortion right now. She has to get better first. My guess is that there are some issues with the child in her womb, which is why you wish to terminate the pregnancy. But if you start the medication for conditioning now, you'll have to wait at least a month. And after a month, your wife will be more than five months pregnant, approaching six months. It may be difficult to have an abortion at that stage.

"I have a friend who’s a specialist that offers unique targeted treatment for congenital infant diseases. I don't believe it's any major illness. You should consider continuing with the pregnancy. Medical technology is highly advanced these days."

Frederick retrieved a business card and offered it to Joseph. Joseph glanced at the card in his hand and let out a chuckle. "What if I wait for her to finish the three-course treatment and then proceed with the abortion?"

That would be after a month, by which time she would be more than five months pregnant, nearing the six-month mark.

"Well, it's not entirely impossible," Frederick answered, "But undergoing an abortion at six months would pose significant risks to your wife, especially considering her current condition. If any complications were to arise during the procedure, she could lose her life on the operating table."NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
