Chapter 387


    She didn’t have any feelings for him. He was only her bed partner,


    ????


    On the first day back at work after her break, Skr looked at her new assistant, Caleb, and felt the


    task was daunting.

    Mr. Gardner Senior had spoken to her in the morning, asking her to help guide Caleb and help him


    learn more about antiques. He mentioned that Caleb was a little troublemaker who didn’t listen to


    anyone but her and suggested she use him as freebor.


    In addition, Mr. Gardner Senior gave her another task–restoring a shattered porcin vase.


    Looking at the pieces of the vase, Caleb felt his headache.


    “It’s all smashed up. Can it really be fixed? Is my grandpa trying to make things difficult for you?”


    “Mr. Gardner Senior has never made things difficult for me. This level of breakage isn’t very serious.


    I can repair it,” Skr replied.


    Caleb was filled with admiration.


    “No wonder Grandpa says you’re more capable than he was at your age. You can confidently say


    you can fix something this broken.”


    He has fallen for Skr even more now.


    When Caleb saw Skr working up close an hourter, he marveled again. He probably would


    never fall for anyone else for the rest of his life.


    It was all his dad’s fault for not having him sooner. If only he’d been born a few years earlier, he


    wouldn’t


    have let another man get to Skr first.


    However, the more he watched, the more he felt that the restoration work he once found boring now


    seemed quite interesting. Especially seeing Skr quickly get into work mode, he couldn’t help but


    start to take learning seriously,


    Jeffery sat by the bed at the hospital, looking at the sleeping Sadie. There was no love in his eyes


    Nowadays, Sadie looked like she’d aged ten years, with much more gray hair and wrinkles. Her skin


    was pale and dull, and her brows were tightly furrowed even in her sleep. She carried herself with


    great


    resentment.


    He hadn’te to the hospital in days because he didn’t want to face her. That day, the hospital


    Informed him she could be discharged, so he came. Otherwise, he didn’t want to.


    It wouldn’t be too bad if Sadie didn’t bring so much trouble. But that wasn’t the case.


    Sadie was tormenting their children and also herself, looking worse than he had ever seen her in all


    the years he had known her.


    Behind him sat Kenny and the others. Peter was handling the discharge procedures.


    “I don’t know if Mom can adjust aftering home. She’s been calling out for Skr every day for


    the past few days. I don’t know why, but she keeps asking to see Skr,” Samuel said, scratching


    his head in


    frustration. If she kept this up daily, there wouldn’t be any peace at home.


    Maisy sighed. “Maybe staying at the hospital was ufortable for her. Once she’s home, she


    might get


    a lot better. As for Skr, she probably won’te to see Mom no matter what.”


    “No… No… I was wrong! I know it’s my fault. Skr, it’s all my fault. Please forgive me, okay?”


    Suddenly, Sadie, asleep, started crying and shouting again. She reached her hands out as if trying


    to grasp


    something.


    Jeffery jumped up.


    “Mom’s having another nightmare. Ugh!” Kenny said helplessly.


    Jeffery’s face darkened as he red at the nightmare–ridden Sadie. “Why would she have


    nightmares?
