Chapter 1063 I’m Really Happy

"1.5 million." Zoelle casually threw out a figure. "That's expensive!" Vince shouted, grimacing in pain as he accidentally pulled at his wound. "Can you go lower? Also, they said you went to the hospital to perform surgery on Mr. Joseph. How did it go? Was it successful?" "With my superb medical skills, failure is impossible. And no, I’m not in the habit of giving discounts. Not a penny less, got it?” After some consideration, Vince agreed, "Okay, send me your bank account number." She had come all the way to Imperium to provide medical support. Not only did she save his life, but she saved Joseph as well. She deserved to be compensated well. Zoelle was stunned. She had not expected Vince to agree. "Vince, that’s your hard-earned savings. Aren't you planning to use it to buy a house or give it to your wife? I think you should request Mr. Joseph to have the finance department cover the expenses, given that the injuries occurred during work,” one of his colleagues said. Vince glared at his colleague and retorted, "Mr. Joseph was injured because of my negligence!" Maintaining one's dignity and reputation was essential. Vince felt awkward about shamelessly applying for work-related injury compensation, and money could be earned back. Vince picked up his phone to make the transfer, only to realize the call had not ended. This meant that Zoelle had heard the entire conversation. "Beep, beep, beep—" In the brief lapse of attention, the call abruptly terminated. Vince did not dwell on it too much, assuming Zoelle had moved on to other matters without realizing the call was still active. He transferred 1.5 million to Zoelle's account, leaving him with only 7,000 dollars. Without much thought, he went to a luxury brand website and placed an order for a handbag. He had seen Zoelle carrying a handbag from this brand. Since she had saved him and Joseph, it was only fitting that he expressed his gratitude. * At 8 at night in the hospital, Chloe and Jasper stood by the hospital bed, quietly waiting for Joseph to wake up from his anesthesia. "Mommy, since Daddy is hurt badly this time, can you not go to work and spend more time with him?" Jasper asked in a hushed tone as he did not want to wake Joseph. Chloe frowned, a trace of dilemma crossing her face. She did not know how to respond. Exotic Star was in turmoil lately. On the surface, it looked like she had used Noah as a stepping stone to become the CEO of the company. Under normal circumstances, she would undoubtedly have to spend a significant amount of time at the office. But on the flip side, she had not spent a lot of time with Jasper since their reunion, only taking him out for a meal after work and to spend some time together. In light of Joseph's poor condition, she found no reason to refuse Jasper’s request. There were no major issues with Exotic Star’s internal operations, so taking a few days off should not pose a problem. With that thought in mind, she smiled at Jasper and said, "Sure. I will accompany him and also spend time with you.” Jasper's eyes instantly lit up, resembling a pair of sparkling gemstones. He excitedly jumped off his chair. "Really?" "Yeah, let's make the most of the weekend. I'll also request a few days off from your teachers," Chloe replied. Given his good academic performance, there was no need to worry about his grades being affected. "Yay!" Jasper could not contain his excitement and hugged Chloe tightly. He asked joyfully, "Where are we going, Mummy?" Chloe reached out to tidy the hair on his forehead and smiled as she pondered aloud, "No idea. Do you have any places in mind to visit?" "Let's go to Louis Town." It was not Jasper who spoke, but the man who just woke up. Chloe and Jasper turned their heads to see that Joseph had awakened and was looking at them with a faint smile despite his pale complexion. His expression was gentle, and his gaze was affectionate. Waking up to find his two loved ones by his side brought a sense of joy to his heart, even though he was in pain. "When did you wake up?" Chloe propped herself up and glared at him. Her gaze shifted to his heavily bandaged arm and asked, "Does it hurt? Should I call the doctor?" "No, it doesn’t hurt. The anesthesia hasn't worn off completely yet. No need to call them." "You scared the hell out of me. I thought you were going to lose an arm!" "Don't worry, I'm fine now," Joseph said as he extended his uninjured arm toward Chloe. He took her hand and placed it on his face. He said with a happy expression, "Chloe, I'm really grateful for your care. It truly makes me happy."
