Chapter 200
Chloe brought Wyatt into the emergency room. It was just a small cut, but it was bleeding heavily.
Dylan Avery, a doctor in his thirties, had always been responsible for Wyatt’s check–ups. He was impressed by Chloe and Wyatt. Because Wyatt was very well–behaved. Wyatt didn’t cry of fuss even when Dylan injected the clotting factor.
There was some minor bruising around the wound, and Dylan del some basic treatment, but the cut was still oozing blood.
While waiting for observation. Wyan turned his dark eyes and said, “Mommy, I’m okay, it doesn’t hurt, don’t worry.”
Seeing Wyatt’s pale face, Chloe felt an overwhelming sense of guilt. She bent down to Wyatt’s eye level and said and said, “It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have let you go downstairs alone to get the milk.”
Wyatt said. “It’s not your fault, Mommy; it’s my carelessness. It was just a one–off incident. You can’t stop me from being independent because of this. I’m a on, and I need to protect you.
Noah couldn’t help but reach out and pinch Wyatt’s chubby cheeks. He said, “I didn’t realize you’re quite the sweetheart. No wonder your mom decided to have you”
“Having him has nothing to do with you, Chloe snapped as she slapped Noah’s hand away.
Noah was taken aback, wondering. “I haven’t said anything, so why is she so mad?”
“Get out. We don’t need you here, Chloe said, taking a deep breath. Unconsciously averting her gaze, she realized her words seemed a bit nonsensical. Noah always managed to mess with her mind.
“If you two are going to argue, do it at home. This is a hospital, Dylan said sternly
Chloe said. “Who’s married to him?”
Noah said, “Who’s married to her?”
They spoke at the same time.
Dylan rubbed his forehead in exasperation, thinking, “They are so in syne yet still claiming they’re not a couple!
Time went by slowly. Wyatt’s wound continued to bleed despite the infusion of a coagulant.
Dylan’s expression turned serious. He said, “The bleeding is increasing, and we need to transfuse fresh blood. Wyatt’s blood type is somewhat unusual.
Chloe frowned as she suddenly remembered something. The last time when Eric needed blood, she seemed to recall Ophelia’s blood type being O–negative.
Chloe immediately wanted to call Ophelia and searched her pockets, only to find she didn’t have her phone. She asked, “Dr. Avery, can I borrow your phone for a moment?”
Dylan handed Chloe his phone, glancing at Noah with curiosity but choosing not to ask any questions.
Noah asked, “What’s Wyatt’s blood type? How unusual is it?” He thought, ‘He is not an alien, anyway. How unusual could his blood type be?
“O–negative, Dylan blurted out, causing Chloe to pause mid–dial Her heart almost seemed to stop with anxiety.
Just like me, Noah said as he stopped Chloe’s hand mid–dial. He said, “You don’t need to call anyone; use mine. I thought it was something special, not just dinosaur blood

With that. Noah took off his suit jacket, unbuttoned the culls of his shirt, and rolled up his sleeves, revealing his well–built
forearm.
Without waiting for Chloe to say anything, Dylan had the nearly nurse take Noah for a blood type cross–match. He thought, No matter what differences Chloe and her husband have, their child’s well–being is the priority!
The results came quickly, and it was a match.
A heavy weight settled in Chloe’s heart. Her expression didn’t lighten much despite the successful match. Instead, her heartbeat quickened.
Dylan led Noah and Wyatt to the hospital room and asked thens to lay on separate beds.
Is this needle really that thick?” Noah asked and gulped.
His looks ensured he stood out everywhere. So the nurse spoke to him gently, “It’s okay, sir, it only hurts a little at first.”
Noah turned his head away, just in time to meet Chloe and Wyatt’s steady gazes. He pressed his lips together and said seriously, “Go ahead”
He had been calma moment ago, but when the needle went in his face twisted in pain. His voice trembled as he said, “Ouch. A little more gently, please.”
Seeing this, Chloe thought. Does he get scared too? She quietly withdrew her gaze, realizing Noah was a totally different person now–a comparison to his past self wasn’t fair.
Wyatt was prepared for the IV drip during the blood draw break. After the blood was injected, the coagulation factors helped control the bleeding from the wound.
Wyatt was discharged after being observed for the afternoon.
He said to Noah, “Uncle Noah, thanks for giving me your blood How about coming to my house for dinner? My mom makes the best sauced beef steak.”
“Really? I love that,” Noah replied, and his eyes lit up. He said, “A least you have a bit of a conscience. But I worry your
He added in his heart, ‘Does she have any sense of decency! He gave Chloe a sideways glance.
His tie was long gone, and two buttons were undone at the collar, Standing tall, he wore a gray shirt and black pants, with his jacket casually slung over one shoulder and his other hand in his pocket.
Thanks for today, Chloe said, not looking at Noah
Is that all? Oh dear, I’m feeling faint, Noah said as he rubbed his forehead and playfully winked at Wyatt.
Wyatt said, “Mommy, Uncle Noah feels faint. He must have given too much blood for me. How about we invite Uncle Noah for a simple dinner at our place?”
Chloe looked at Wyatt in her arms, who had regained some color and spoke very earnestly. She thought, ‘Does he really like Noah that much? He never used to talk like this before!
She wanted to refuse. She said, “But it’s so late today..” Before she could finish, Noah scooped Wyatt from her arms.
Noah said, “You really have a heart of gold. I didn’t give blood to you for nothing” Then, he didn’t bother waiting to hear what Chloe had to say and carried Wyatt straight into the car.
With no other choice, Chloe had to follow along.

Chapter 200
As the car drove by a large supermarket, Noah glanced at Chloe and Wyatt in the back seat through the rearview mirror. He asked. “Shouldn’t we stop by the supermarket to pick up some groceries first?”
Chloe replied. “Yeah.” She thought. There really aren’t many groceries left at home?
Noah parked the car on the underground level and, without waiting for Chloe to speak, opened the back door and carried Wyatt out of the car.
Chloe could only quietly follow them. She pushed a shopping cart forward, and when she looked up, Noah and Wyatt had
vanished.
A woman in her thirties squinted, sizing up Chlor not too far away. She said, “Mrs. Larkin, isn’t that the person who was talking business with your husband the other day, the one from La Reverie!
“You had me check her out. What was her name again, Chloe something”
“Where?” Ruby asked as she straightened her back, looking in the direction the woman was pointing. Her gaze locked on Chloe, and she instantly turned into a mother hen ready for battle.
Ruby said, “It’s really that homewrecker. She thought, Just because she thinks she looks good, she dares to seduce my husband! The long hair on him the other day must ve been hers
Ruby took a few quick steps toward Chloe. She asked, “Are you the one in charge of La Reverie? Chloe, is it you?”
Chloe found her view blocked by the two women who approached her. She asked, “And who are you?”
Ruby said. “You don’t need to know who I am. All you need to know is that my husband is the one your company is eager to
partner with
Ruby, arms crossed and carrying a designer bag worth thousands walked up to Chloe and gave her an once–over.
She said, “Tve checked you out–a single mom with a kid. You want to snag a rich guy to care for you two, right? Who do you think you are?
Tm telling you, keep away from my husband. Or else, you’ll get what’s coming to you, you shameless gold digger!”
