Chapter 37


    “Let’s go to the courthouse tomorrow at 9:30 am. What would you like aspensation?” Joe


    asked.


    He’d never been a stingy person. Although Skr had ulterior motives for approaching him, it was


    undeniable that she’d brought great pleasure to Gloria. He could tell she was sincere toward Gloria.


    “I don’t need anypensation.” Skr outright refused.


    Vi’s letter had stated that Skr could soar as high as she wanted and earn bountiful riches if


    she wanted.


    She continued, “But I hope you won’t prevent Grandma from reaching out to me if she wants to see


    me or needs my help. After all, Grandma Gloria and Grandma Vi are elders whom I love and


    respect.”


    Joe knew who Vi was since he’d met her a few times. She was not only a mysterious elder but


    also Gloria’s friend.


    Although Skr knew Vi, someone trustworthy, it didn’t mean Skr’s intentions were pure.


    “I almost forgot,” Skr suddenly said. “You promised to cease offering support to the Williams


    family when we registered our marriage. I hope you’ll keep that promise.”


    At that point, she had said everything on her mind and no longer needed to add anything else on.


    Joe gazed at Skr while deeply pondering her words. The way Skr spoke made it seem like


    she was innocent, while he looked like he’d deliberately started a fight to end the agreement.


    “Sure,” he answered with a frown.


    With that, the two arrived at a consensus. They only needed to go to the courthouse the next day to.


    finalize their divorce.


    Skr stood with her bag and headed upstairs. “I’m going to pack my things. I’ll move out from


    Gxy Vi tomorrow. By then, you should tell Grandma-”


    “After spending these past few days together, we realized our personalities are ipatible. So,


    we can’t foresee living together. I’m sure Grandma will understand.”


    Skr cocked a brow, surprised that Joe had already thought of an excuse.


    She could tell how cautious and skeptical Joe was toward her. So, without waiting for him to say


    anything more, she continued ascending the stairs.


    “There’s no rush to pack your things. You can do it after we return from the courthouse tomorrow. I’ll


    get Paul to drop you off,” Joe said.,


    Skr shook her head. “I don’t have many things, so it’s no trouble to pack them now.”


    Not a word came from Joe, whose expression turned sullen.

    Ten minutester, Joe stood at the doorway to Skr’s room. He looked at the packed suitcases


    and the room, which had returned to the way it had looked before Skr had moved in.


    Skr didn’t appear attached to Gxy Vi.


    An inexplicable sensation ate at Joe’s heart as he started to feel like his assumption was wrong.


    Before Joe could think of anything more, he faced Skr, who was looking up at him. He stated, ”


    Grandma’s heart wasn’t doing well, so she got hospitalized. We must go to her at once.”


    Skr’s heart raced. “Didn’t Grandma say she felt better these past two days?”


    “I just got word at thest minute from the hospital. We’ll only know the specifics of her situation


    after we get there,” Joe answered with a low voice.


    Skr dropped the sheets, which she’d been tidying. “Let’s hurry over.”


    “Yeah.”


    There weren’t many cars on the road, so they quickly reached the hospital within half an hour.

    Once there, they beelined for Gloria’s ward.


    Edgar exined Gloria’s condition to Joe and Skr when they arrived, saying, “Mrs. Martin Senior


    briefly regained consciousness earlier.


    “She wanted me to ry a message. She wants you to go out for some food first. She has


    something to tell you two once she wakes from her rest.”
