CHAPTER 182: CHAPTER 182: CHLOE SIMPSON FINALLY BECAME SUSPICIOUS

Lucas Hughes made up his mind and then logged into the system to check the hospital’s work schedule.

He could see Chloe Simpson’s shift schedule, but he couldn’t access the schedule of Orion Miller, the man who liked Chloe.

However, if things were to be handled inside the hospital, with Chloe and that man both present, it would be much easier.

He only needed to pay attention to Orion Miller’s work schedule when he went to the hospital tomorrow.

Find a time when both of them would be there in the evening, and then send a message to Orion Miller.

As for the content of the message, he would just use the plan they had discussed last time.

He was confident that as soon as Orion Miller received the message, no matter what, he would show up.

Unlike last time, where they had to book a hotel separately and figure out a way to get Alexander Johnson and Chloe Simpson into the same room.

On the other end, Chloe had already returned to Emily Sterling’s place.

Although it was very late, Emily got out of bed as soon as she heard the noise.

Seeing Chloe coming back so late with a suitcase, Emily hurriedly walked up to her and asked, "Chloe, why are you back so late? And you’re carrying a suitcase? You and Lucas..."

Emily’s first assumption was that something unexpected had happened between Chloe and Lucas Hughes.

Of course, Chloe hadn’t told Emily that she had already moved out of the marital home and was staying at Alexander Johnson’s place.

"Mom, Lucas and I have already signed the divorce agreement. Starting today, I’ll be living back here at home."

Chloe followed Emily’s lead and spoke up.

Sometimes the less said, the better. Telling her everything would only make her mom worry—it was better to keep quiet.

"...Alright then, living back at home is good. Let me go and tidy up a room for you."

Emily froze for a moment. She opened her mouth as if to say something but, recalling what had previously happened between Chloe and Lucas, ultimately said nothing and turned to prepare a room for Chloe.

"Mom, don’t bother tidying. It’s too late tonight. Let’s talk about it tomorrow. For tonight, I’ll sleep with you. It’s been ages since we slept together, and tonight I just want to be with you."

Chloe quickly stepped forward and grabbed Emily’s arm.

"Alright, then tonight you’ll sleep with me."

Emily smiled, held Chloe’s hand, and led her into the room.

Chloe quickly washed up and lay down on the bed. Yet, as she lay there, her mind was filled with images of Lucas Hughes and that woman from earlier.

She tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

However, lying next to Emily gave her a greater sense of security.

Still, the image of that woman lingered stubbornly in her mind.

She didn’t doubt Lucas Hughes’ words and didn’t feel like Lucas was lying to her.

First of all, she felt that there was no need for Lucas to lie about this. As he had said, the two of them had already signed the divorce agreement—they were going to part ways.

Secondly, after all these years of being together, she wanted to believe Lucas.

The only thing that unsettled Chloe was how coincidental it seemed that Lucas’ cousin happened to be the same woman she had seen back then when she was cornered in that alley by those thugs.

That night, Chloe hardly slept a wink. Her mind was consumed with thoughts of Lucas Hughes and that woman.

It wasn’t until dawn the next morning that she finally decided to get to the bottom of that woman’s identity.

\If the woman were indeed Lucas Hughes’ cousin, then she’d find a way to confirm it.

Just as it happened, she still had the contact information for one of Lucas’ uncle’s daughters.

Surely she would know if that woman was Lucas’ cousin.

As soon as the morning light broke, Chloe pulled out her phone and called Lucas’ cousin, Kiki Woods.
