Chapter 517 Busted

“I’m out handling some matters.” Joseph gripped his phone tightly, his tone growing stern.” Chloe’s at the hospital?”

“What could possibly be more important than my sweet granddaughter-in-law?” Harold questioned.

“Somebody saw my mother at Seawell Plaza.”

Harold fell silent. It took him a moment before he asked, “Did you find her?”

“No, it’s possible they made a mistake.”

“Do you think that the Sinclairs are merely spouting nonsense to trick you?”

“No matter what you think, I’d rather believe that my mother is alive and managed to escape as opposed to that

she’s long gone.”

Harold let out a long, heavy sigh. “That’s not what I meant. I just want our family to be safe.”

“The safety of our family has nothing to do with whether my mother is alive or not. Back then, we just weren’t

strong enough.”

“All right, I’ve lived to this age. What do I have to fear? I’m only worried about you, cough, cough…”

Harold began to cough uncontrollably before he could finish his sentence. His coughs came in rapid succession,

resembling a heavy burden on his heart, leaving him gasping for breath.

Joseph’s face sank and he quickly changed the topic. “How do you know that Chloe went to the hospital?”

“Dr. Spencer said they ran out of medicine at my regular hospital, so Patrick went to another. hospital to fetch it,

and he happened to see Chloe there.”

“Did Patrick ask her why she was there?”

“No. She was on the phone, so she probably didn’t hear him.”

“Okay. Don’t wander around with your old comrades for now. Stay home and rest.”

“You mind your own business. Go and check on Chloe, see if she’s feeling unwell.”

“I will.”

On her way home, Chloe received a call from Joseph. She stared at the incoming call on her phone, her face

showing hesitation.

“Sir, please pull over to the side,” she instructed.

“Okay, miss.”

She rolled up the car window, shutting out the noise from outside, and lightly tapped the answer button with her

fingertip.

“Where are you?” Joseph asked.

“I’m with Em. What’s wrong? Are you done with your business?”

He stayed silent for a few seconds. “Why aren’t you home? Why are you running around outside?”

“It’s nothing. Em’s just feeling down and wants some company,” Chloe replied calmly, ‘ Sitting at home is boring, so

I thought I might as well come out for some fresh air.”

This time, the pause on the other end was much longer. After a while, Joseph replied calmly and emotionlessly, “I’m

heading home. I want to see you before seven o’clock.”

Chloe’s heart skipped a beat. Just when she was about to test if he knew something, Joseph abruptly ended the call.

Upon arriving home, she found him seated on the couch, still in the same expensive black shirt and perfectly

tailored trousers.

His face was dark and stern.

Walking into the living room, Chloe glanced at him and waved. “Hey…”

Joseph sat with his legs crossed and looked at her sternly. “Come here.”

‘Oh no. He must have found out something. Guess I’ll have to play by ear.’

Chloe forced a dry smile, slipped on her fluffy slippers, and walked over to him. Feigning innocence, she asked,

“What’s wrong? You have such a sour look on your face. Who offended you?”

“You,” came Joseph’s concise and displeased reply.

Chloe maintained her facade of innocence. “I haven’t done anything…”

“Go on. Keep pretending.”

“If you have something to say, just say it.”

“Why didn’t you tell me you went to the hospital? Why did you lie to me?” Joseph coldly questioned her, having no

intention of beating around the bush.

Chloe’s heart skipped a beat. “How did you know I was at the hospital?”

Joseph clenched his teeth. “You’d better give a reasonable explanation.”
