Chapter 26


    Steven was silent for a few minutes. He must have covered his phone so Skr wouldn’t hear what


    they


    were saying.


    Skr was slightly worried, but she heard Steven again in a few minutes.


    He said, “it’s okay, Skye. It’s just a minor issue. I’ll handle it. Get some rest. If you still feel unwell,


    you have to go to the hospital, okay?”


    “Alright, I will.”


    Skr didn’t press him. She knew Steven. He’d always been her big brother, and he took care of


    the rest of his siblings well. He wouldn’t worry them if it was something he could handle.


    She clicked on her banking app on her phone to check her bnce.


    Daniel had given her 50% of her pay for restoring the paintings. She’d get the rest of them after she


    completed her job.


    She had 800 thousand dors in her bank ount now.


    After Steven graduated from university, he’d worked for a scientific researchpany. However,


    his sry had been low.


    Furthermore, he’d signed a ten–year contract, so he couldn’t resign. He would have to pay a huge


    amount aspensation if he resigned.


    In her past life, Steven had been stuck in his career before her car ident. He hadn’t seemed to


    be able to progress further.


    She’d decided that she would try her best to help them in this life. But she didn’t have enough


    money yet.


    She fell asleep as she thought about this.


    In the next room, Joe was having trouble sleeping.


    Compared to howfortably he’d slept at Pearlhall Residencest night, he waspletely


    awake. now. It irritated him.


    He got out of bed and walked to the first floor to get a ss of water.


    When he got out of his room, he saw that the light in Skr’s room was still on. His eyes flickered,


    and he walked over.


    He knocked on the door three times. “Skr.”


    There was no response.


    Was she still having a fever? Had she fainted?


    Joe nced at the lighting from under the door. His gaze darkened as he walked in.


    Skr’s eyes were tightly closed. She was lying quietly on her bed, and he could barely hear her


    breathing.


    Joe walked over and checked her temperature with the head thermometer. Her temperature was


    down to 99.5 degrees.


    Joe put the thermometer down and took another nce at Skr.


    If she could abide by the contract obediently for three years without any ulterior motives, he’d give


    her another sum of money when their contract ended.


    His gaze darkened again when he recalled the way she’d uttered the name “Christopher“.


    Paul should be able to find out what had happened between her and Christopher soon.


    Skr wok


    When up again, it was 6:00 am.


    She no longer had a fever, but she still felt slightly weak. So, she called Daniel to take sick leave.


    Then,


    she went downstairs to make breakfast.


    Gxy Vi was far from the city. There weren’t a lot of options for takeout, either. She just wanted


    to have some porridge for breakfast.


    When she went down, she was surprised to see Joe at the dining table. There was some porridge


    and


    buns on the table.


    When Joe saw her, he said, “Grandma sent these.” This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.


    Skr felt warm after learning that Gloria had sent them food, “Grandma is so nice to me.” She


    picked up


    her phone to send Gloria a message.
