Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love

Chapter 304

Chapter 304 She Missed Him Greatly

Nathan shuddered before he ordered the owner to take Ava away.

They dressed her up in a seductive and revealing costume before they locked her up in a gigantic iron cage. All her limbs were tied up before she was carried onto the stage for an auction as if she were an item.

When the boss announced the price of 1 dollar, the whole scene was thrown into a great frenzy. The first man who got Ava in the auction brought her into a lounge, and her screams followed soon after.

Joseph pressed his temples and was about to leave when Nathan said, “You’re here now. Why don’t you have some fun for a bit?”

“No, Chloe’s still unconscious. I need to go back to her.”

“Didn’t you guys get a divorce? What’s the matter? Can’t let her go?”

Joseph’s eyes became dull as he replied icily, “I just find her pitiful.”

Nathan was rendered speechless. ‘You’re just stubborn.’ All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

As Joseph drove back to the hospital, the sky was hazy and the sky was just getting dark. When he passed by a hawker selling milk and bread at the entrance of the hospital, he stopped and bought a set. Chloe had not eaten the whole night and must be starving.

In the ward.

Chloe handed a freshly peeled egg to Icarus. Looking at the hideous scar around his chin, her voice turned bitter. “This happened all because of me. I got you into this…”

Icarus patted her hand to comfort her. “It’s fine. I’m a man, so I don’t care about my

appearance. What’s more… I didn’t protect you well.”

It might be because he was covered in too many injuries the previous day, so he did not notice that his face had been slashed.

Chloe shook her head. “No, you’ve treated me very well.”

She suffered merely physical injuries, while Icarus’ face was ruined. Even his leg was broken. She had wronged him.

Staring at them as they felt sorry for each other, Joseph clenched his fists tightly, veins. bulging. He then chuckled in self-mockery. He turned around and dumped the milk and bread into the dustbin before he left.

It was as if he had never been there.

Jake arrived at the hospital early the next morning. When he saw the scar on Icarus’ chin, he was struck speechless for a long time. Feeling sad, he lowered his head. For a moment, he could not find the appropriate things to say.

His uncle was a few years older than him, but he was much more mature than him. He was a figure that both the Cooper and Baker families were proud of.

Now Icarus’ face was ruined. His family would feel very sad when they learned of it.

“Don’t tell the family,” Icarus ordered, “I’ll tell them when the moment’s right.”

Jake suppressed his bitterness. “How’s Chloe doing?”

“She’s fine but she got beaten up pretty badly.”

“I’ll go and see her.”

Jake went to the neighboring ward to find Chloe looking out of the window in a trance. When he saw her that way, he was full of self-reproach. He found that he was useless. He had not taken good care of his family and beloved.

Jake’s arrival was something that Chloe had anticipated.

“Chloe, are you okay…”

In front of him, Chloe forced a smile. “I wasn’t doing very well last night, but I’m much better now. Icarus was more seriously injured than me…to save me.”

“He did that willingly.” Jake did not blame her but he heaved a long sigh. “Are you still going to reject him? He sincerely cares about you, Coco. Why are you hesitant? Do you still care about Joseph?”

Chloe was slightly stunned but was soon enlightened. She had missed Joseph very much from the moment she woke up until now. She even dreamt of him last night. But when she woke up, she was alone in the vacant ward.

Jake did not know if he was seeking justice for himself or Icarus in the face of Chloe’s silence. Joseph is just a little richer than us. Rich people have lots of women. Don’t fall into it. If he likes you, the person who saved you last night would have been him instead of Uncle Icarus.”

Chloe answered calmly, “It’s not because of him. I’m thinking about other stuff.”

Jake did not seem to believe it. He reverted to his previous topic. “Do you feel nothing for Uncle Icarus? Even his face is scarred now. He’ll scare a lot of women, or…they might even despise him for it.”

“I get your point. I’m very grateful to him, and I even wronged him. But in terms of a relationship, I need to think it over properly.”

“Chloe, I’m not trying to force you…’

He just felt that his uncle treated Chloe very well, and every woman wanted a man who treated them well.
