Chapter 396 The Surgery Was Successful, Toto Is Conscious
With a cold expression on his face, Joseph was about to say something when the veterinarian arrived on the scene.
He and the vet carefully moved Toto onto a gurney before leaving.
Standing rooted to the spot, Chloe felt a wave of bitterness and discomfort wash over her. Despite this, she could
not contain her concern for Toto and sent a text to Lucas in the afternoon, inquiring about its condition. Lucas told
her that Toto was still in a critical condition and it remained to be seen if it would make it through the night.
Upon receiving this news, a suffocating sensation gripped her chest throughout the day. However, there was
another pressing matter that needed her attention. She had to move out of her current place as soon as possible.
She felt unsafe there as if she were being watched. If she did not leave soon, something bad might happen.
She contacted a real estate agency that same day, and they recommended Oceanic Residence. It was conveniently

the apartment’s interior and finding no major issues, she promptly paid three months’ rent, called a moving
company, and had all her daily essentials transported to her new place.
Summoning a cleaning service, she had the entire house thoroughly cleaned inside and out. By the time these tasks
were completed, it was already evening. Chloe could not shake off her worries about Toto and texted Lucas again.
Meanwhile, at the pet hospital, Lucas felt his phone vibrate and retrieved it to respond to Chloe.
[The surgery was successful, and Toto has regained consciousness.]
Putting away his phone, he looked at Xavia, who was watching over Toto. He recalled the instructions given by
Joseph before he left and said, “Ms. Xavia, I’ll take you home. The on- duty doctor will take care of Toto during the
night.”
Xavia nodded in agreement. “Okay.”
On their way back to Golden Wood, Xavia asked, “Will Joe come to my place tonight?”
“I don’t know. You could ask him yourself,” Lucas replied.
Joseph had returned to Fairlight to attend to his work as soon as Toto was out of danger.
Xavia raised an eyebrow, dissatisfied with Lucas’ response. “Is he going to see Chloe?”
Lucas firmly held the steering wheel and answered earnestly, “You should ask Mr. Joseph about that.”
‘How would I know where he’s going after work? I’m just his assistant, not his father.
“Back when Chloe married into the Whitmans, you didn’t have this attitude, did you?”
Lucas paused for a moment. “Ms. Chloe didn’t cause me any trouble.”
“So are you saying that I’m causing you trouble?” Xavia asked.
Lucas smiled gently. “That’s not what I’m saying.”
Xavia took a deep breath. Once she became Joseph’s wife, the first thing she would do was fire Lucas!

realized what was happening, they were already out.
Breathing in the fresh air, she felt an exhilaration throughout her body. She had gotten out. She had finally escaped
from that dreadful place. “Who are you? Why did you rescue me?” she asked the driver in a shy tone.
The driver ignored her and drove the car to a farmhouse.
“Keep an eye on her and don’t let her escape,” the driver instructed.
The owner of the farmhouse was a plump woman in her thirties.
“What on earth…”
“Just keep an eye on her. You can do whatever you want with her.”
The woman smiled brightly. “Okay!”
Coincidentally, she was in need of an “entertainer.” After a satisfying meal and a few drinks, men always wanted to
have some fun.
Outside the door, Ava had no idea what awaited her. She thought she was simply coming here for a meal.
