Chapter 328 Well–Being
Chloe expressed her skepticism, asking, “Is that all?”
Considering she no longer resided in the villa, she could easily accept a three–month buffer. Time
would fly by quickly.
“Yes, but I have one condition.”
Chloe’s expression revealed her anticipation that it would not be as straightforward as she initially thought.
“Don’t be afraid. I simply want you to find some time to visit me and check on Toto at the villa. Toto has lost weight
without your care.”
Chloe found herself in a dilemma. This meant she could not avoid seeing Joseph. She did not want to see him at the
moment, nor did she desire any form of contact with him.
“If you two fail to reconcile after three months, I’ll give up. Otherwise, I won’t be able to receive treatment
peacefully while in the hospital. What if one day I suddenly pass away?”
Harold’s words filled her with anxiety. “Grandpa, please don’t say such ominous things!”
“Then do you agree?”

“Cough, cough, cough!”
Suddenly, Harold’s violent coughing fit began, making him appear as if he had aged ten years in an instant. Chloe
felt a wave of helplessness wash over her, desperately wanting to call for a doctor.
Patrick stopped her, his expression grave. “Mr. Harold has been like this for the past few days. The doctor has
already examined him, and the situation is dire. If his condition continues to worsen, there’s no telling… he might
not make it to next spring. Miss, can you bear to see Mr. Harold depart with regrets?”
Depart with regrets.
These three words struck Chloe’s heart with a heavy blow. She could not bring herself to imagine such a scene.
Grandpa was one of the few sources of warmth in her world, even more caring than

“Okay, I’ll agree, but will Joseph?” She could not comprehend that man’s inner workings. He was
an enigma, oscillating between warmth and coldness, kindness and harshness.
Harold’s coughing subsided, and he spoke with determination. “I’ll talk to that brat.”
“Okay… I agree, Grandpa. Please don’t worry about our matters anymore. You need to take good care of yourself
and prioritize your well–being.”
“Good girl. Now, I need to rest. You go ahead with your business.”
“Okay.”
Patrick watched Chloe leave and gave a thumbs–up to Harold. “Sir, your acting skills are superb.”
“You also played your part well.”
Patrick expressed his concern, “The key now is how to deal with Mr. Joseph. Your acting skills may not be enough to
sway him.”
Harold pondered for a moment, then said thoughtfully, “It’s time to bring out his father’s suicide
note.”
Joseph received a call from Harold as he arrived at the hospital parking lot. Harold stated his terms and mentioned
the bargaining chip, bringing up Joseph’s late father in the process.
At the mention of his father, Joseph’s handsome face turned grim. After a brief moment, he replied, “Okay.”
That note was currently the thing he desired most. He needed to uncover the truth behind his father’s death.
Harold continued, “Chloe left the hospital not long ago, she should be back at the office. Go and
visit her when you have time.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJoseph had the urge to question why he should be the one to seek her out instead of the other way around.
However, as he raised his head, his gaze landed on a slender and tall figure.
Chloe stood before him, dressed in jeans and a white T–shirt that accentuated her best features. Her simple attire
showcased her advantages to the fullest, and her long, well–proportioned legs possessed a captivating beauty that
surpassed even that of international models:

Joseph grew increasingly restless, his fingers fidgeting with his collar as he pressed the car horn
with his large hand. The sudden, piercing sound startled Chloe, causing her almond–shaped eyes to glare angrily at
the culprit.
‘Who’s the rude imbecile?‘ she thought, ‘Don’t they know to keep quiet in a hospital?‘
As their gazes locked, Joseph’s eyes held a deep and mysterious allure. It was as if they possessed the ability to
penetrate one’s very soul, sending shivers down one’s spine.
Chloe’s anger instantly dissipated, giving way to a sense of annoyance. Had this guy already found out about
Harold’s request so soon and thought it was her who suggested it, coming to settle the
score?
