Chapter 291 An Intelligent Woman
Chloe did not look at him, just turned off the room’s lights and let the desk lamp illuminate the book in front of her.
Michael leaned against the bay window, his legs tightly drawn, clearly uncomfortable.
But when he looked at Chloe, the warm light cast on half of her face made her look particularly gentle.
Her jawline was sharply defined, her facial folds almost perfect.
He had always known Chiloe was beautiful, but he had never really looked closely before.
He was not someone who judged solely based on appearances.
No matter hour good-looking someone was, if they were empty-handed, he would not like them.
For the past few years, he had always thought Chloe was that kind of prison.
But now, he was increasingly feeling that she had many sides unknown to him, like a fog waiting for him to explore.
He looked at the book in Chloe’s lund, Borges’ original poetry collection.
“Another, the Same”.
In college, almost no one around him liked Borges
It was either Shakespeare or the universally known Byro
Almost everyone had a copy of “Don Quixote.”
He had never thought that Chloe would read Borges’ poetry.
Perhaps the atmosphere at this moment was just too beautiful for him to bear to break, so he had been silent, just quietly watching Chloe
Each of Borges’ poems was not long, but it took a long time to read deeply
So every night, Chloe would read two poems. After understanding, she would turn off the light and sleep.
When she closed the book, Michael, who had been silent all along, asked. “Which poem do you like the most?”
Chloe was startled by his voice.
She had just forgotten that he was still sitting by the bay window. His sudden speaking made her feel like she had seen a ghost.
ed at hina.
She raised her hand to pat her chest and glanced at
“Just sleep peacefully when sleeping, do you know that speaking suddenly scares people to death!”
Looking at her coquettish appearance, Michael rarely became angry, but he felt good.
All the lights in the room went out, and only the moonlight outside the bay window was faintly flowing
Michael listened to Chloe’s gradually steady voice, and his mood slowly callmed down,
During this time, he had already discovered that he did not sleep well at night.
Not only did he dream more, but he also woke up often
He thought it was just because he did not rest well or because there were too many things going on during this period of time.
Put in the few days at the Shawn Maner, Chloe slept beside Lins, and he did not wake up in the middle of the night again
Bark at Lolus Manor, she slept in a separate room from him, and he began to have trouble sleeping again.
Chapter 291 An Intelligent Woman
The next day, when Michael woke up, it was the most peaceful day he had slept since returning to Lotus Manor
Although his legs were almost numb from curling up, his spirit was exceptionally full.
Chloe came out of the bathroom after washing up and saw that he was awake before saying, “You slept with me yesterday, so I hope you can keep your word and do not touch Candy.”
Michael was stunned.
She had not agreed to any of his requests yesterday.
“I remember my request was for you to return to the master bedroom.”
Chloe frowned, “What is the difference? Anyway, you slept in the same room with me!”
After speaking, she did not give him a chance to argue and went straight downstairs.
Michael found it funny that Chloe was quite good at being unreasonable!
After breakfast, Michael received a call from Admina, saying that Thanksgiving was approaching and reminding them to come back for dinner on time
“Do not worry, Grandpa, I will bring Chloe back.”
After hearing this, Chloe felt that she had been tricked again.
As soon as the phone hung up, she immediately said, “Should you not discuss with me before you promise anything?”Text © 2024 CHâP-T.èR$Fl.òW-cøm.
Michael casually put down his phone, put a layer of butter on the bread.
“It is almost Thanksgiving. Grandpa asks us to go back for dinner. We used to go back every year.”
Admas is a very traditional man; be celebrates basically all major holidays.
The people of the Shawn family have long been accustomed to putting down their work on that day and going back to the Lotus Manor to accompany
Admas.
In the past,
Chloe could accompany him, but now she had no interest.
She felt exhausted just going back for Admas’ birthday last time.
“I would not go, find a reason to tell Grandpa.”
She lowered her head and continued to eat breakfast,
Michael frowned.
“Now w that we have moved out, Grandpa rarely gets to see us, just once a year. There are not many holidays left. You cannot even put on
Chloe felt a bit choked with bread in front of her and took the warm milk beside her.

little act?
Just as she took a sip and was about to answer Michael’s question, her stomach churned again, causing her to bend over and retch bende her
Michael looked at her distressed expression and immediately stepped forvened to pat her back.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
“What is wrong with you? This is not the first time you hat
have retched?”
Chloe’s face was extremely pale; she did not understand why she had been feeling uncomfortable in her stomach lately,
And whenever she smelled something fishy, she felt like throwing up.
“Chloe, how long has it been since your last period?”
Suddenly. Michael’s tone became serious, making Chloe shiver.
She thought, “Could it be?
My last period was over two months ago.
Although my menstrual cycle had always been irregular, it had never been this late before.”
Seeing her silence, Michael crouched in front of her.
“Look at me, how long has it been since your last period?”
Chloe’s mind was in chaos.
She remembered the last time she and Michael had been together, it was before she had mentioned divorce.
Counting the days, it seemed to match perfectly!
And her period had been delayed for so long.
There were also these signs during her daily life.
Could it be… she was pregnant?
But she had taken a pregnancy test from Candy, and it showed a negative result
There should not be any issue.
She looked back at Michael with a bewildered expression, noticing the complex emotions in his eyes, and abruptly waved his hand away.
“What are you panicking for? Are you afraid that if I have a child, it will become an obstacle between you and Lucy? Do not worry, Mr. Shawn. I have used a pregnancy test before, and I am not pregnant!” Ignoring her sarcastic remarks, Michael was only concerned about her health.
“If you are not pregnant, why do you keep feeling retching?”
With this thought, he stood up, grabbed Chloe’s arm, and said firmly, “Let’s go to the hospital!
Whether y
you are pregnant or not, you cannot continue like this. We need to get you checked properly.”
At the mention of the hospital, Chloe almost instinctively resisted.
Wendy had been in the hospital for so many years and still had not been cured of her illness.
So Chloe did not trust hospitals at all.
Plus, she was alın
She was afraid that if she really was pregnant, Michael would make her have an abortion.
“Let go of me, I am not going
Chapter 292 Get Pregnant
Chloe was pulled up by him, and her emotions were a bit agitated.
“Chloe, this is not the time for you to be stubborn!”
Michael thought. “Did she not care about her own body?
It had been almost half a month since the last time she retched.
She had not felt better for half a month. What if it was a serious illness?”
Chloe was nervous, looking at Michael and reproaching, “Why are you so nervous about letting me go to the hospital? Are you worried that I have a child, so you want me to have an abortion?” Michael choked. He thought, “When did I ever say that I wanted her to have an abortion?”
“I know you do not want to have a child. You have always been using contraception, never forgetting to take the pills. What are you
Even if it was the last time they were together that night, she forgot about it, she bought the pills to make up for it the next day, Michael was full of helplessness on his face, having no answer.
“I am not trying to force you to have an abortion. Right now, you are not even sure if you are pregnant!”
We are getting divorced, Michael. Honestly ask yourself, if I am pregnant now, would you let me keep this child?”
Chloe asked twice in succession, each question stroke directly at Michael’s heart..
He had never considered this question before.
Initially, he did not like Chloe.
He admitted that at first, he had never thought about having a child with her.
But now… he was not sure.
Even when he realized that she was pregnant, his first thought was not about abortion, but that he was going to have his own child!
The emotions surging in his heart were happiness, not annoyance.
He was looking forward to having a child with her.
However, the way Chloe looked at him become even cokler.
She thought, “He did not speak, which meant that way earlier doubts were all true, right?”
Thinking of this, Chloe’s heart was filled with bitterness.
She gritted her teeth and pushed away Michael who was standing in front of her.
“I know my
own body well enough, so there’s no need for you to worry!”
With that, she grabbed her bag from the sofn and left without looking back
Michael stood frozen in place, somewhat at a loss.
Emma watched from the side.
“Mr. Shawn, Mrs. Shawn is probably very scared right now. It might be better to seait until she comes back tonight to calmly tell her that you want this chikl Michael took a deep breath and nodded,
After leaving Lotus Manor, Chloe did not go to Bri
Bright Moon International, but instead took leave and headed straight to Glory Villa
An hour and a half later, three people
people were sitting in Glory Villa.
One was Candy, another was Chloe, and the third was Quinn.
It was not Candy who called Quinn over at this critical moment, but he had planned to see Candy today and happened to be home
At this moment, the three of them stared at each other, unable to say anything
“Um, Chloe, are you saying that you…are pregnant?”
Candy’s eyes were full of shock. She could not believe that overnight, Chloe had told her that she was pregnant.
It was obviously fine yesterday!
Quinn was also somewhat at a loss.This belongs to chãPtēRsFlôW-cóm – ©.
He had been waiting for Chloe to divorce, but instead of the divorce news, he received the news of her pregnancy.
He thought, “If she gave birth to Michael’s child, would it mean that their marriage could not be ended?
Would 1 s
still have a chance?”
Candy glanced at Quinn, then cautiously asked, “So Chloe, if you are really pregnant, are you still going to divorce?”
On the way here, Chloe had been thinking about this question all along
She thought, “If I had a child and gave i
e birth to it, and then divorced Michael, the child would come from a broken family.
But if I did not divorce, did I have to spend my life tied to Michael, enduring such agonizing days for the sake of the child?” “Yes, let the child will stay”
The child had nothing to do with Micharl
Candy, who had only recently started dating and had no experience of pregnancy and childbirth, was also confused now.
“Let’s go to the hospital for a check-up first. Do not wony, in case of any misunderstanding, I will make an appointment for you. Wait a moment!”
Candy was even more nervous than Chiloe, taking out her phone to make an appointment with the most famous gynecologist here.
But who knew that when she checked the date, “Next Monday, I have made an appointment for you! I will accompany you with Quinn!”
Chloe buried her head, feeling utterly dejected.
Candy and Quinn also looked very womed.
They thought, “How did this happen? How did she end up pregnant at the last moment!”
After leaving Glory Villa, Chloe received a call from James.
She did not clock in today, but James had something to do early in the morning, so he saw her text message close to noon,
“You have only been on the job for a few days, and you are already skipping work?”
Hearing James’ nonchalant tone, Chloe felt a lump in her throat.
“Is Bright Moon International not supposed to be considerate of its employees? I am not feeling well!”
Then she hung up the phone.
James held the phone, feeling a bit apprehensive.
He thought, “Who upset Chloe again?”
Even when he realized that she was pregnant, his first thought was not about abortion, but that he was going to have his own child!
The emotions surging in his heart were happiness, not annoyance.
He was looking forward to having a child with her.

was momentarily stunned.
“Ms. Nelson, we are deeply sorry for the hospital’s negligence,” she said earnestly after Chloe took several deep breaths to calm herself.
“Did my mom see anyone today, eat anything unusual, or hear anything? Chloe inquired.
The last time Wendy had a similar outburst was when Lacy and Tiffany came over.
But the nurse shook her head. “She has not seen anyone recently.
Since Chloe instructed not to let Wendy meet strangers, the hospital had been taking it very seriously.

“Did she watch any news or re
Chloe could not believe Wendy’s condition would worsen without external stimuli.
There must have been a trigger
Upon hearing Chloe’s question, the nurse tried hard to recall
The nurse thought. “Patients in their hospital were hardly allowed to use their phones.
Apart from supervised calls to Chloe, she could not use her phone independently
Moreover, the TV in her ward only had a few fixed channels, nothing that could have caused her distress recently.
Besides, there had not been any news about Ms. Nelson on during this period!
So, what could have caused her sudden illness?”
After pondering for a few minutes, the nurse suddenly remembered something and looked at Chloe intently. “Oh, I remember. She received a package this morning! “A package?”
“What was inside? Who sent it?”
The nurse walked into Wendy’s ward and searched around until she found the package in a corner,
Chloe checked it carefully. There was no sender’s name on the package, just a symbol
Even the delivery address was not local.Text © 2024 chäP_t-è_RsFlow-Com.
The delivery note revealed nothing,
Quietly lying inside the package was a small doll, about the size of a palm.
But when Chloe saw the doll, her breath stagnated, and she felt her blood run cold.
She recognized this doll!
That day, when Wendy went to see her friend and did not come back at night, it was raining heavily.
So, Chloe went to Lucy’s house, feeling less frightened with someone accompanying her.
It was there that she went into Lucy’s bedroom.
As soon as she entered, she found many things in the bedroom to be very familiar.
Her own Barbie dolls and plush toys, eerily similar to hers, just different in color.
These were gills Jacobs often brought back from business trips.
Chapter 295 A Puppet Doll
At that young age, she had not thought much about it, assuming Jacob felt pity for them and bought extra gifts.
She did not mind Lucy having the same doll!
But there was one doll on Lucy’s desk that looked…very strange!
Chloe leaned over the desk and scrutinized it carefully. She had a feeling she had seen this doll before.
“Chloe, does this doll not look like your mom?
Lucy suddenly remarked, and everything clicked into place for Chloe.
“It does! Where did you get it?”
At the time, Lucy only smirked but did not tell where she got the doll from.
It was only later, after everything came to light, that Chloe learned Tiffany had custom-made the doll
Tiffany wanted to see Wendy being manipulated like a puppet between her and Jacob’s hands.
The feeling of being in control of everything made her feel at ease.
When everything was exposed, Tiffany even taunted Wendy with the doll, smiling at her.
“Wendy, you are just a doll, clueless about everything. You think you are well-protected, but in reality, you have been kept in the dark. Even if you kno everything now, you cannot change a thing!” :
This doll was Wendy’s nightmare.
It was her thomie!
For so many years, Chloe thought Tiffany had already thrown away this doll.
After all, Jacob had passed away long ago. Seeing a doll that looked so much like Wendy, would Tiffany not be frightened?
But someone as twisted as Tiffany
She would not find it terrifying, only saw it as her trophy.
It was her victory in this battle, ber medal on the wall!
At this moment, Chloe held the doll in her hand, trembling with anger.
laside the package, there was also a small note.
“You will always be a doll, just like your daughter.”
The nurse stood beside Chloe, somewhat at a loss as she looked at the note.
But she also knew it was not something good.
“Ms. Nelson, we apologize for our negligence. We really did not know there was an issue with this doll!”
Chloe could not listen to anything the nurse was
was saying right now.
All she could think about was finding Lucy and Tiffany immediately to settle this score.
On the other side, Michael rushed to the hospital and saw Tiffany still in the operating room, while Lucy was sitting outside, tears streaming down her face, trembling all over. He thought, “Her condition was not good.
Her once always neat hair was now somewhat disheveled.”
Lucy turned her head upon hearing the sound, and the moment she saw Michael, she immediately got up and rushed towards him.
With a twist of her feet, she was about to fall, and he could only reach out and grab her wrist.
Lucy fell into his arms and cried bitterly
“Michael, what should I do if my mother has not come out yet? Will everything be okay?”
She bugged at Michael’s sleeve, causing him to frown his brows slightly,
He calmly moved away from the distance between the tro,
“It is okay, Aunt Wendy will come out safely.”
The two of them sat outside and wasted together, Lucy was only wearing a home outfit.
The hospital windows were open, and it was another cloudy and rainy day.
The wind blew in, making her shiver a little from the cold
Michael sighed softly and took off his coat, putting it on her.
His warmth immediately enveloped Lucy, making her feel much warmer
She booked her lips, revealing a faint smile.
“Michael it is great to have you here!”
Michael remained unchanged, softly saying, “Lucy, we are friends and colleagues, but in the future, if you have anything, it is better to contact Owen first. I am afraid Chloe might misunderstand.” Lucy, who had just warmed up a bit, suddenly stiffened again because of these words.
“But Michael, you clearly told me before that you do not like Chloe.”
Since returning, Lucy had never expressed her feelings to Michael and always treated him as a friend, hiding her true feelings deep inside her heart.
But now, she also felt his change in feelings towards Chloe.
She dared not continue getting along with him as freely and confidently as she did now.
She wanted to know what he truly felt about Chloe!
Michael pinched his nose bridge and said, “Perhaps there was a misunderstanding before.”
When he first returning. Admas forced him to take over Paramount Airlines and pressured him to get married.This belongs to C_Hâ.pTéRsflöw-_cøm – ©.
Both were things he disliked, so he was under a lot of pressure and feeling irritated.
At that time. Lacy and Asher had asked him in the group chat how he was doing after returning
He honestly shared his difficulties.
Lucy had also asked if he liked Chloe.
He typed t
the word “dislike” on the keyboard without hesitation.
But time passed silently and imperceptibly, much like how Chloe’s influence on his life had been subtle and gradual.
He never thought about divorce, and even now he had been trying hard to prevent Chloe from divorcing him.
Was that not enough to show his feelings?
Admas was just an excuse for him to delay the divorce.
Lucy turned her head and looked at him, her eyes filled with sadness.
“So….what about me and you…”
“Lucy, we are just colleagues and friends.”
Being rejected by the one she loved was unbearable for anyone.
Lucy sniffled and looked up at the ceiling-
“Of course, I know we are friends. I am just worried that Chloe has misunderstood you too much now. I want to explain to her, including what happened before abroad, but it seems she does not believe what I say.”
Speaking of the past abroad, Michael sighed.
“Let’s just let things take their course!”
The issues between him and Chloe, they had to sort out on their own.
The lights in the operating room went out, and Tiffany was wheeled out. She was already awake, but her face was a bit pale.

“The patient has always been in poor mental condition and has started experiencing hallucinations and auditory hallucinations. There wa drug abroad that could suppress these symptoms well, but we do not have it for now. So you can try to get the drug.”
Lucy bowed and said, “Thank you, doctor,”
When only the two of them were left in the corridor, Lucy looked at Michael with some difficulty.
“Michael, I know that medicine is for Chloe’s mother. But… can I ask you to help me and give half to my mom? You heard the doctor’s words just now, Tam
afraid that the situation might not be controlled. My mom might have an accident outside again.”
At that time, Michael gare all the medicine to Wendy.
That was his compensation to Chloe.
He also promised that Wendy’s medicine would not be stopped in the future.
He remembered that when he asked the doctor over there before. The doctor said that Wendy’s condition had stabilized a lot.
So taking out one dose of the medicine for Tiffany should not be a problem, right?
“Michael, I know it’s difficult for you. I will ask her myself!TM”
Lucy wanted to cry again
She could do anything for her mother.
This side of her reminded Michael of Chloe.
That woman could do anything for Wendy too.
Perhaps Lucy and Chloe could become sisters for a reasoil
At least in some aspects, the two were very similar.
“I will discuss it with her.”
Michael followed Lucy to the ward to visit Tiffany.
She was physically weak and could hardly say anything.
Lacy was busy all the time.
Chloe, on the other hand, was investigating Lacy’s whereabouts.
She logged into the Jioleek account. With just a slight movement, she found the surveillance footage of Michael’s Rolls-Royce in the city.
After confirming the hospital with her phone, she immediately drove there.
The red Porsche quickly turned and parked in a parking space at the hospital entrance.
She walked into the hospital with big strides.
“Ding!”
The elevator door opened. Chiloe stepped out.chäP-tErSFLów.cøm owns © this.
Just as she walked to the door of the ward, she heard a male voice coming from inside.
“I promise you. I promise to take out a part of the special medicine From Chloe’s mother.”
Chloe’s hand on the doorknobs slowly tightened.
Chapter 297 Grudges
She could no longer suppress the anger in her heart.
She turned the doorknob and walked in.
Then she stepped forward and slapped Lacy hard on the face.
“Ah!”
Lacy was knocked onto the bed by the slap. The ward immediately became chaotic and noisy.
Tiffany had just woken up. Seeing this scene, she got up to protect her daughter.
Michael also stepped forward to stop Chloe.
“Chloe, listen to me….
But before he could finish his sentence, there was a “shop”.
The crisp sound rang out again.
Michael’s face was slapped to the side.
The room fell silent in an instant.
Chloe’s eyes were red. She pointed at Michael and cursed.
“I never lind any hope for you. But you repeatedly pushed my limits. Now you even want to give away my mom’s medicine. Have you forgotten what I told you before?”
Michael had never seen Chloe like this. He opened his mouth, wanting to speak, but couldn’t say a word.
Lucy covered her face and said softly on the side.
“Chloe… how can you hit me…”
Chloe slapped her again.
Her eyes were red with anger.
“Lucy, I haven’t even started with you yet. Didn’t I wam you not to mess

mother again?”
“Chloe, I don’t understand what you’re saying. I didn’t bother Aunt Wendy!”

Tiffany immediately echoed, “Chloe, what Lucy said is true. I know you hate us, but you can’t distort the truth and frame us at wil
Hearing Tiffany’s shameless words, Chloe laughed in anger.
She took out a toy from her bag and threw it at Tiffany’s bed.
“What is this? Am I distorting the truth? Am I framing you? You two are the least qualified to say that!
“I don’t want to
to get involved with you. Do you really think I’m easy to bully? If you insist on doing this, let’s settle all the grudges together”
Chloe grabbed Lucy’s and pulled her in front of her. Then she slapped her three or four times. The slaps made Lucy dizzy.
Lucy could have fought back. But with Michael beside her, she could only pretend to be weak
After Chloe’s slaps, Lucy fell to the ground and spat out blood.
“Chloe, I’m sorry. I think there might be a misunderstanding…”
“Misunderstanding my ass!”
Chloe kicked her.
Michael couldn’t stand it anymore. He grabbed Chloe’s waist and dragged her out of the ward.
Standing in another empty ward, Michael locked the door.
“Chloe, calm down. What happened? Tell me first”
“What’s the point of telling you? You’re with your mistress and using my mom’s special medicine to please her.
“Do you know my mom just had an attack, the most serious one? Do you know she almost died? Do you know it was caused by them?”
Her tears fell uncontrollably. Chloe cried uncontrollably
Michael’s cheek still hurt.
This was the first time Chloe hit him. He was originally a little angry.
But seeing her now, his heart was full of pain.
“I… I didn’t know your mother had an attack… If I had known……..”
“Enough, Michael. Are your ears, eyes, and brain just for show?
“Don’t always act like it’s not your intention, and you’re full of regret after letting me down every time. You really disgust me!”
Chloe turned her face away and raised her hand to open the door,
“Chloe, I apologize. I really didn’t know about your mom today. If I had known, how could I have given the medicine to Lucy? I would definitely have stood by you first!”
Excuses, all excuses!
No matter what he said, he always had excuses
Chloe didn’t want to listen anymore. She just wanted to leave.
But be blocked her way and wouldn’t let her go no matter what
“Il send someone to guard Mom. If this was really done by Lucy, I’ll give you an explanation. Is that okay?”
Chloe sneered. “What explanation will you give me? Do I need your expectations?”
Wendy was driven crazy by Lacy and Tiffany.

“Don’t stop me anymore or you won’t be able to bear the consequences!”
Chloe drew a clear line between herself and Michael.
She forcefully bumped his shoulder and walked out without looking back.
Chapter 298 Chloe’s Hurt
She returned to Tiffany’s room, where nurses and doctors were already standing.
Chloe sneered. “What, calling so many people to watch? Are you feeling guilty for being a mistress?”
The people in the ward looked strange when they heard this.
“Chloe, don’t slander people!”
“I don’t slander people. You did something, and you’re afraid to admit it?”
A nurse stepped forward and said to Chloe. “Miss, the patient just had surgery and can’t be agitated.”
“If she gets agitated and dies, that would suit me just fine!”
Chloe rolled her eyes and walked to Tiffany’s bedside. She picked up the doll Tiffany had just thrown away
It was broken into several pieces, but the doll’s face was still intact.
Chloe held it in her hand and slowly placed it in Tiffany’s band.
Tiffany tried to pull away, but Chloe squeezed tightly. The edges of the ceramic pieces deeply scratched both Tiffany and Chloe. who can’t stay faithful. Pathetic!”

Making trouble for no reason!
After leaving the hospital, Chloe felt the pain from the cut on her hand
She wiped it casually and then drove back to Devondale.
Unexpectedly, she saw Michael standing at the hospital entrance waiting for her.
She paused and decided to pretend not to see him.
But while she could ignore him, he immediately noticed her bleeding hand.
Your band is injured!”cHá-PTêr$F-LO.W.cóm owns © this.
“Get lost.”
“Chloe, stop being stubbom. Come up and get it bandaged.”
Michael had no intention of arguing with her. He just wanted her to get the wound treated.
Chloe pretended not to hear and continued walking.
She tried to open the car door. But he blocked her, opening and closing the door repeatedly
This was a new car, and Chloe felt distressed just watching it.
“Are you being childish or what!”
She really couldn’t understand why he was wasting time with her here.
“Go up and get it bandaged.”
They tussled and ended up in the middle of the road. The pedestrian light was red and no one was crossing
But Chloe i
just wanted to get rid of Michael as soon as possible, not caring if she had to run a red light.
At that moment, a motorcycle sped towards them out of nowhere.
Michael got startled. He almost reflexively pushed Chloe to the side.
Chloe dodged. However, he couldn’t avoid it and got hit by the motorcycle, crashing into the roadside utility pole with a thud.
The motorcyclist regained control of the bike and turned to look at them. He called them crazy and then sped away Chloe got up from the ground.
She heard people around saying, “Oh no, is he okay? It looked like he hit his head!”
“Is he unconscious? Why isn’t he moving?
“Miss, who is he to you? You should call 911 quickly and get help!”
Chloe was startled. She pushed his shoulder. “Hey, Michael, are you okay?”
Michael didn’t respond.
“Michael!”
Chloe pushed harder.
Just as she started panicking, Michael finally responded. He coughed a few times and then got up from the ground.
“I’m fine. Are you okay? Let’s get to the hospital!”
He had been really worried that she might get hurt.
Also, pushing her away had been instinctive.
Chloe’s gaze
moved down his face. She saw his scratched palms and dirty pants.
She felt deeply upset.
“You’re the one who needs to go to the
to go to the hospital!”
After saying this, she got up and walked ahead.
Michael stood there stunned for a few seconds. Then he limped after her.
They returned to Lobus Manor. Chloe told him to go freshen up while she took a shower.
After getting ready, she sat on the sofa waiting for him.
Seeing him come down, Chloe said, “Michael, let’s get a divorce. Let’s stop tormenting each other.
“I’ve thought about it. I plan to tell Grandpa the truth. I think he will understand.”
She couldn’t endure it for a year.
She couldn’t worry about Admas reaction anymore.
Michael frowned. Wearing a bathrobe, he sat beside her.
“We made an agreement. One year.”
‘But I can’t wait anymore!”
Chloe got a bit agitated.
She had thought that after enduring for three years before, one more year wouldn’t be difficult. Chapter 299 Fointed
But after being together again, she realized it was unbearable.
“Michael, I’m begging you. Let’s part on good terms. Find a time to get divorced and free us both, okay?”
Chloe’s tired voice reached Michael’s ears, making his heart tighten.
He had tried very hard to mend the rift between them.
But it seemed to be getting worse,
Chloe stood up. “Don’t be impulsive. Think about it tonight. We’ll decide tomorrow.”
She got up from the sofa and saw Emma behind them, looking worried. She could only sigh inwardly.
Michael stood still. He watched Chloe brush past hins.
Just as she was about to step on the stairs, he said, “Is it really that painful to be with me?”
Chlor hesitated.
It tormented her completely.
Michael sighed. “Fine. I agree. Find a time. We’ll g
I go to the county court together.”
Hearing him finally relent, Chloe felt relieved.
“Okay.”
This was the best outcome for both of them.
She pursed her lips and continued walking upstairs.
Suddenly, there was a “thud” behind her. It was the sound of something heavy hitting the ground.
Then, Emma’s scream followed “Mr. Shawn, what’s wrong
Chloe turned around and saw Michael lying on the ground, motionless.
With a face full of panic, Enama looked at Chloe and said, “Mr. Shawn seems to have fainted!” Failed?
“Call the private doctor quickly
Emma nodded frantically.
After making the call, the two of them used all their strength to I
barely hft him back onto the sola.
“Mrs. Shan, Mr. Shawn has always been in good health. How could he suddenly faint?”
Emma seemed even more worried than Chloe.
Chloe sat on the other single sofa, staring at Michael.
His fainting might be related to the hit he took earlier today.
This was the second time this week that the private doctor had been called
After a thorough examination, the doctor’s expression turned serious.
“Mrs. Shawn, you mean Mr. Shawn got hit by a motorcycle and then hit a utility pole today?
“Mr. Shawn likely fainted due to emotional agitation leading to cerebral hypoxia. He should wake up soon.Text © 2024 ChåpteRsfl.oW_Com.
“However, there is a bump on the back of his head, probably from the impact. We don’t have the equipment here for a detailed examination. He needs to go to the hospital for a thorough checkup to be safe.

Chapter 299 Fainted
Chloe nodded. “Okay.”
They went to the door. This time, he spoke a few more words to Chloe.
“Mrs. Shawn, if things really can’t go on, I still hope Mr. Shawn doesn’t get hurt. I don’t want to come here again.
Even though he didn’t say it explicitly and just sighed before leasing. Chloe enuld see from his expression that he blamed her for hurting Michael again.

Last time it was
Chloe frowned slightly and said, “You should tell him this.”
Between them, it was already unclear who owed whom
Outsiders could never understand this matter
Returning to the living room, Chile glanced at Emma and said softly, “Emin, you go to sleep. I’ll take care of him.”
Only a dim table lamp was left in the living room. Chloe sat on the carpet, looking at him sideways,
He was so handsome that he could even be described as beautiful. He had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, with an outstanding temperament.
When Admas brought her back and saw him for the first time, she liked him
He seemed like the first dazzling light in her tragic life. He was the faith in her dark life.
She had never seen such an outstanding person
It was as if he was in a different world from hers.
So when Admas announced that she would marry him, she was happy for a long time.
In the years she was with him, he had many shining points.
On one hand, he became the best captain of Paramount Airlines, On the other hand, he managed Shawn Heavy Industries, excelling in both
Once, Chloe sneaked to his company to find him. She happened to catch him in a meeting
Standing outside the conference room, she heard him analyze the company’s current situation clearly. He offered the most suitable path and even invested in projects that no one else believed in. Later, it proved that his forward-looking investments were correct.
At that time, Chloe thought he was the most capable person in the world.
And she felt too ordinary, insignificant.
So she tried to be worthy of him no matter what.
She worked hard to be qualified to stand by his side.
So for these years, she strived desperately to reach him, to chase him
But still, they were not suitable for each other.
Returning to her thoughts, Chloe reached out to straighten his slightly ussy collar.
Her tour cared a hint of sadness,
“But Michael, I is too foolish t
to think that as lo
as long as we loved each other. You wouldn’t feel unworthy.”
Michael didn’t like her. No matter how hard she thed, he always felt she was reaching too high, dreaming in her own world

How did she not realize this unequal relationship from the beginning?
Chloe wanted to withdraw her hand but was unexpectedly grabbed by him the next second.
His eyes, which had been tightly closed, were now open and clear.
you were unworthy.”
At this moment, he looked at her and said, “I never said youThis belongs to C_HaPTêR$F/Lô-W-cøm – ©.
Chloe choked. She hadn’t expected him to hear what she said. She felt a bit embarrassed and tried to pull her hand back, but he held it tightly, not letting go.
“I didn’t lie to you.”
From the beginning, he had never considered the issue of worthiness,
He just thought he didn’t like Chloe but never felt she was unworthy.
In the past few years, he had indeed said many insincere things to make her give up
But none of those came from his heart.
Chloe looked away. “Whether you lied or not no longer matters.”
Anyway, he had just promised her before he fainted that he would go to the county court to divorce.
Michael suddenly loosened his grip on her hand. Chloe seized the moment and pulled her hand back, standing up from the carpet.
“If you still have the strength, go upstairs to sleep. If not… Il get a blanket for you.”
Michael frowned and turned over, sitting up from the sofa.
After a long time, he slowly got up and walked towards the second floor.
Chloe watched his back, feeling a bit heavy-hearted.
It was almost over. It was almost over.
But that night, Chloe still had insomnia.
Lying on the bed, she tossed and turned, unable to sleep,
She didn’t know how late it got. She only knew she fell asleep when the birds outside started chirping at dawn.
Michael got dressed and came down from the second floor. Emma saw him and still looked worried.
*Mr. Shawn, how is your health? Do you need to schedule a full-body checkup at the hospital now?” She remembered the private doctor said that last night.
But Michael just stood in front of the mirror and straightened his coat. “No, I have a flight today.”
“But…”
“That’s it. I’m fine now.”
Michael interrupted Emma. He left without even having breakfast.
Emma stood there and sighed helplessly.
Michael and Chloe just had too many misunderstandings!
