This meant that Skylar hadn’t been raped. Thank God.
Skylar nodded lightly and looked around. Paul and Howard were the only ones in the room. Skylar asked, ‘Where’s Joe?”
“He went to handle a few things. Just now, he texted me saying that he’ll be arriving at the hospital soon,” Paul explained. He Un’t spell out where Joe had gone. Cowardly people would be terrified by what Joe had personally done.
Paul could make a few guesses as to what had gone down. After all, he had all the evidence of Edwin’s wrongdoings.
Skylar did not delve into the topic. She asked, “Does Mrs. Martin Senior know that I was kidnapped?”
“Yes,” Paul answered while nodding. Gloria wasn’t the only one who’d found out. Alexander and George also heard the news. They’d put in work behind the scenes to find her. If not, she wouldn’t have been found this quickly.
However, tonight had been an extremely close call. If they’d gotten here half an hour later, Skylar would’ve been raped.
Skylar hurriedly said, “Help me tell Mrs. Martin Senior about my situation. Ask her not to worry. I’m perfectly fine.”
“Alright, I’ll tell her about it right now.”
Paul made the call right in front of her. She felt relieved.
A few minutes later, Paul headed to the doctor’s office. As he led the doctor back into Skylar’s room, a figure appeared before them.
Jenny stared at Paul and Drake Stone, Skylar’s main physician. She’d
overheard their conversation.
They were discussing Skylar’s condition. Skylar had woken up. Drake consoled Paul and asked him not to worry. He also said that Skylar’s wounds had been tended to, so there wouldn’t be any problems.
Indeed, she’d guessed correctly.
Something had happened to Skylar. While she was sick with a fever and in
2/2
need of some company, everyone had come to see Skylar.
Why wasn’t Skylar dead? Why weren’t her wounds fatal? What had happened to Skylar?
It had been enough for Joe to ignore her till now. He hadn’t even replied to her texts.
The most important thing was Paul’s attitude. He coldly brushed her off and asked her to call emergency services. Yet he’d gone to the hospital to accompany Skylar himself, and he was panicki
over Skylar’s situation.
All of them were behaving like that. What was she to them? The scum of the earth?
Jenny couldn’t help but trail behind Paul and Drake. She wanted to see Skylar for herself.
Not before long, she caught sight of Joe.
He strode over swiftly and entered the room before Paul could. It was as though he had tunnel vision.
Jenny was right behind Paul and Drake. He would’ve seen her if only he looked away from Skylar’s room. She was entirely ignored.
She stood outside the room and listened to their conversation.
Joe said gently, “Don’t worry. Everyone who hurt you will pay for it as long as I’m here.”
“Yeah, I believe you,” Skylar replied weakly.
Jenny could tell that Skylar was badly hurt. She bit her lip. Jealousy coursed through her veins. Even though she’d grown up with Joe, he’d never treated her with such care.
