Chapter 956 You Guys Said There's Something Wrong With Me

Chloe carried the dishes to Joseph's bedroom and knocked on the door. She said curtly, "It's me. I have food. Open up." The only response she got was silence. It was as if the room was vacant. Patiently, she knocked on the door again. She knew Joseph must have heard her. "I'll give the food to Toto and Oreo if you don't want it." Creak... Joseph opened the door and stared at her. The hollowness in his eyes made them more deep-set, and his stubble had grown out. He looked haggard from not having shaved for some time. Even so, he still looked pretty handsome. Chloe was so amused by Joseph's current handsome hobo-look that she burst out laughing. The sounds of her laughter lit up the gloomy corridor. Joseph was confused by her laughter, but the dishes in her hands made his belly growl. He accepted them and said grumpily, "You're so ungrateful. You’ve finally come to see me after so long." "Don’t get any ideas. We're divorced. I came to see you because of Jas and the fact that I'm kind. Don't push your luck." Joseph snorted and started wolfing down the food. This made him look even more like a hobo. Ten minutes later, he finished the food and proclaimed boldly, "I'm still hungry. Make me some more." Chloe refuted, "Get your helper to do it." Frustrated, Joseph ran his hands through his hair. "Your cooking is the only food I can accept right now." Joseph knew he could not order Chloe around, but he could not fool his appetite. His appetite had been non-existent for the past few days, but her cooking seemed to hold some kind of magic over him. Her plain dishes filled him with deep warmth and ease. Chloe shot him a suspicious glare. “Did you forget that you’re the one who asked me not to waste ingredients if I can’t cook?" He replied gloomily, "Your cooking has improved." "I'm aware of that." She lifted her head and accepted his praise confidently. "Where did you get the pills for my headaches?" "You can’t buy it over the counter as it's a special medicine made just recently. I got it from a psychology professor." "A psychology professor?" Chloe's eyes lit up. "Can you introduce this professor to me?" She could visit this other psychology professor if she could not secure an appointment with Alfred. Besides, this person must be a professional to have made such effective medicine. Joseph asked tentatively, "Are you seeing a doctor for treatment?" "Yeah. Didn't you guys say there's something wrong with me?" Chloe smiled bitterly and shrugged. "Better I get myself checked as soon as possible." Joseph frowned. "Let me get dressed. I'll take you to meet the professor." He looked forward to her noticing something wrong with herself, but he was also worried about what she might find. There was an underlying threat if anyone other than Noah undid the hypnosis. Chloe nodded. "Okay." * The professor Joseph was referring to was an eccentric old man from Muthein who loved dressing young and wearing colorful clothes. After giving Chloe a once-over, he started speaking in fluent Asvinian.
