Chapter 8 Health Is Wealth

Author: Aurora Summers
Joseph watched Chloe trying to make excuses for him despite her pain. His gaze deepened, but no one could tell what he was thinking.

Upon hearing this, the doctor looked at Chloe disapprovingly and said, "What’s more important? Work or your health? Don’t you know that health is wealth?"

"You're right, doctor. I promise that I'll eat on time in the future," she said sheepishly, "So, what do we do now?"

"I'll administer you an IV drip treatment. Some nurses will come and take you to the ward," the doctor said before turning to Joseph and handing him a medical bill. "As for you, go settle the bill."

Without saying anything, Joseph took the bill from the doctor and left for the first floor. Looking at his tall figure, Chloe sighed. Not only had she failed to prepare a meal for him today, but he also had to send her to the hospital.

There were many people in the hospital, and Chloe was transferred from the emergency room to a regular ward after she was better.

After paying the bill, Joseph received a phone call. Seeing that he was busy, Chloe assured him that she would be fine on her own. The man frowned but found her a temporary caretaker before he left.

It was already midnight by the time the treatment was done. Chloe was exhausted so she decided to stay at the hospital for the night. When she woke up the next day, she saw that she had received a text from her father.

[Benjamin: Don't forget the contract signing with Mr. Lionel this afternoon.]

Chloe scoffed at how her father only cared about the company's business and had never once asked how she was. However, she had become accustomed to this kind of treatment since childhood.

After sitting on the bed for a while, she got up and left the hospital. She flagged down a cab and went back to Joseph's place. Since there were still two hours left, she decided to take a quick shower. After that, she applied some makeup and headed to Cloudia.

Lucerna Building.

On the fifth floor, in a small private kitchen, Nathan Reese put down his fork with satisfaction and patted his stomach. "I've been craving this place’s food since I was abroad. Finally, I get to eat here. It feels great."

Opposite him, Joseph also ate a lot more than he usually would and looked satisfied.

Nathan raised his brows at him and asked, "So, what do you think of the food?"

"It's okay. About a six out of ten," Joseph replied in a magnetic voice as he gracefully popped a piece of meat into his mouth.

"You ate so much and you’re giving it only a six?" Nathan asked.

"I had takeout last night and didn't eat much," Joseph explained, and understanding instantly dawned upon Nathan.

Joseph had always had very high standards when it came to life and food. He never made compromises so Nathan was surprised that Joseph had ordered takeout.

'What’s going on? Is the sun rising from the west? Is that why he wanted to try something different?'

After finishing their meal, they left the private kitchen and headed to the underground parking lot. As they were getting into their car, a middle-aged man with a portly figure angrily rushed out and accidentally bumped into Nathan, almost causing both of them to fall.

The man was furious, but upon seeing Nathan and Joseph's refined attire—particularly the distinguished appearance of the latter—the enraged man refrained from uttering his insults and instead swallowed them.

"Are you blind or something?" Nathan muttered under his breath, feeling annoyed.

Joseph did not say anything and just fixed his gaze on something in the distance. Nathan followed his gaze and saw the same middle-aged man yelling at a tall, slender woman.

"You should thank your lucky stars that you’re the one I chose to sign the contract with. How dare you behave so haughtily when your father asked you to entertain me? You're nothing but a cheap wh*re!"

Chloe suddenly turned her head, her eyes blazing with cold fury.

"What did you say?" she hissed.

    After Chloe calmed herself, she realized that the place she was in resembled the villa she lived in while overseas five years ago. However, upon closer inspection, the exterior scenery was different. She realized something and froze."Did you build a villa identical to the one I stayed in five years ago?" she asked.Noah was busy bandaging himself. Upon hearing her question, he replied, "Yeah, doesn't it look almost identical?"Chloe's gaze swept over every item in the room, and she admitted that she was touched. She turned back to Noah and looked at him gently as if she had returned to the time when she simply treated him as a little brother."How did you convince Tiffany to cooperate with you?"Tiffany had made her move while Noah distracted Desmond."I just told her about it, and she agreed."Chloe asked, "Do you think you’re treating her fairly?"Noah said flatly, "I’ll compensate her."Compensate? How? Chloe thought that youth was the most precious thing in the world, but

    In the Whitman family home, Joseph went to deal with a bunch of urgent company matters after putting Jasper to sleep. By the time he finished, it was already past three in the morning. He contemplated calling Chloe to ask about Noah's situation, but thinking it might disrupt her sleep, he abandoned the idea.When Joseph woke up the next day, it was already half past six. He recalled Chloe mentioning that Exotic Star had a new product launching today and that she would have to wake up early. He reached for his phone on the table, intending to call her.However, his hand slipped and the phone fell to the floor. The loud thud caused his heart to tremble. He stared at the shattered phone screen as he got a bad feeling. He grabbed his spare phone and quickly dialed Chloe's number. After ringing for some time, a cold, mechanical voice informed him that there was no one available to answer at the moment. Without hesitation, he immediately headed to the Sullivan Manor. When Joseph got ther

    “Yes, Grandpa, and I hope you won't stop me when the time comes," Noah said. "You're not discussing this with me. You're just informing me!" Desmond said exasperatedly. "I'm sorry, Grandpa.”Desmond hemmed and hawed for a long while, at a loss for words. He seemed to age ten years as he stared into the distance through the window. After a while, he said, "I've already had someone contact doctors abroad regarding your condition, so don't worry. All you have to do now is just focus on recovering. Don't give up so soon."Sensing Desmond's determination, Noah's eyes filled with tears. He too wished to spend a few more years with his grandfather.When they arrived at the Sullivan manor, the foreign doctors had replied. Upon learning that the renowned healer, Z, had treated Noah but only achieved limited success, they decided not to intervene.Noah was not discouraged by this. He comforted Desmond and said, "Grandpa, I would like to go abroad for a few days. It's been a long time sin

    Half an hour later, Desmond and Noah walked out of the ward together.Desmond said, "The doctor told you to stay in the hospital for a few more days, so why don't you just listen? If something happens to you again, they can treat you immediately."Noah smiled warmly and said, "It's okay. The medical equipment at home is sufficient."Desmond sighed. It would be good if Noah stayed at home as well. At least there would be more pairs of eyes on him.Desmond instructed the driver to come to the hospital’s basement car park. When he hung up the phone, he looked around the corridor and wondered, "Wasn't Chloe just sitting here? Where is she?"Noah did not say anything and just lowered his head."And where's Tiffany too? Call her. We need to go home," Desmond said as he took his phone out to call Chloe.However, Chloe did not answer his call. Noah did not call Tiffany. Instead, he said, "Her brother had something to discuss with her, so he came by and brought her home. Maybe Chloe ha

    Chloe looked at Tiffany and said sarcastically, "Not everyone is willing to contribute their entire life knowing that the other person doesn't like them."Tiffany had a heart problem. She might die at any moment, yet she chose to live around someone who did not love her back. Chloe often marveled at the greatness of love, but she would never possess such a sacrificial spirit.Tiffany laughed coldly. "It’s because I have compassion and you don't. When Xavia died before your eyes, you just coldly stared at her body."Chloe raised her head sharply, glared at Tiffany, and shouted at the top of her lungs, "Xavia took my child, stole my man, and wrecked my marriage! She nearly got me killed several times! If she hadn’t died, it might have been me! I should've celebrated her death with fireworks! None of you know what I've been through, so stop pointing fingers at me!"At first, she had felt responsible for Xavia's death, but she had since come to her senses. Xavia's death had nothing to

    Desmond was taken aback that he even forgot his cane and almost tripped on the carpet. He quickly got back up and headed for the second floor. The butler immediately called for an ambulance while the other housekeepers guided the panicked guests away.Chloe furrowed her brows, following Desmond into Noah's bedroom. The curtains were drawn tightly, blocking out all light. But just standing at the door, one could detect the strong scent of rust from inside.A helper flipped a switch, and the room was flooded with light. The wooden furniture was neatly arranged while neatly folded clothes sat on the sofa.Chloe looked around but did not see Noah. She then looked toward the bathroom and her face sank.Tiffany pointed to the bathroom and said, "He's in there."Desmond trembled as he pushed open the bathroom door. Inside was a mess, with red stains covering the floor. Noah was in the bathtub, his wet clothes clinging to his body. His arms hung limply over the tub's edge, and his head sl
