Chapter 24


    Joe thought that Skr was pretending to fall into his arms. He was impatient until he heard her


    exnation.


    Her face was pale, and there was sweat on her forehead. She looked sick.

    “I’m okay. Take me back to Gxy Vi. I don’t want Grandma to worry. I don’t want to pass my her


    either,” Skr said.


    Joe nodded. He took off his suit jacket and put it on Skr’s shoulders. Then, he ced his arm


    over her shoulders as they walked out quickly.


    Jeffrey and Maisy were making their way out of the crowd. They were about to reach Joe when he


    walked away quickly with the woman.


    They wanted to go after him, but they were stopped by the staff. They were informed that Joe was


    going through a VIP pathway.


    Jeffrey and Maisy felt extremely embarrassed.


    They’d just been a step away! What bad luck!


    Before Skr and Joe got in the car, Skr heard him calling Gloria. He also asked Paul to drive


    her car back to Gxy Vi.


    As for the diamond ring Joe had bought, it would be sent to Pearlhall Residence by the auction


    house.


    Skr fell asleep in the car as she listened to Joe.


    Joe looked at Skr, who was sleeping quietly in the corner. Her head was leaning against the car


    window.


    She was a head shorter than him, so she should be around five feet and seven inches tall.


    However, she looked small as she nestled in the corner of the car.


    She was crying silently. Joe wondered if she was too ufortable because of her sickness or if


    she’d thought of something.


    Her tears appeared tinted with the neon color of nightmps. They hung on her eyshes, making


    her, look like a poor little child who’d been bullied and abandoned.


    It made him curious about what she’d been through.


    Was it because of Christopher?

    Had she agreed to marry him just to piss Christopher off? Joe’s heart sank for no reason at that


    thought.


    “Drive faster,” he said coldly to Lucas.


    After half an hour, they arrived at Gxy Vi. The Martins‘ family doctor came by to do a simple


    examination on Skr.

    After confirming that it was just amon cold, he prescribed some medicine for her.


    After the doctor left, Joe pulled at his tie while he walked toward Skr’s bed. He used a head


    thermometer to check her temperature. It was 102.2 degrees Fahrenheit.


    “Skr, get up and take your medicine.”


    Skr was feeling groggy, and she couldn’t hear clearly. She only heard the word “medicine“. All of


    a sudden, she didn’t know if she was in her previous life or if she was having a dream.


    When Christopher and Maisy had been together, they’d forced that torturous medicine down her


    throat. It had made her whole body burn, and she’d had no way to relieve herself from it.


    It had also traumatized her psychologically. All those memories overwhelmed her like a tide..


    “No. I won’t take it.”


    Her voice was hoarse from her fever. She shut her eyes tightly, but tears appeared on her cold and


    pale


    face.


    She couldn’t stop crying.


    Was she so delicate? Joe pursed his thin lips.


    He was about to force Skr to take the medicine when Gloria called him.


    “How’s Skye? Did you take care of her? You brat, Skye’s your darling wife now that she’s married


    you. Your need to behave and take good care of her when she’s sick!”


    Joe pursed her lips tightly after hearing Gloria’s reprimands. “She has a fever. I was just about to


    give her


    medicine.”


    “What? A fever? That’s serious! Then, why are you still here? Hang up and take care of Skye!*


    Joe hung up speechlessly and looked toward Skr.


    She’d curled herself up. Her pretty face was red from the fever, but she was still crying. The sight


    was heart–wrenching.
