Skr had recalled what happened before she copsed. She hadn’t expected Alexander to call
Joe. She was fine.

A flurry of activity filled the room as doctors swarmed around Skr, subjecting her to a battery of
tests. An hourter, the room emptied, and the hospital room fell silent once again.
Skr seemed much better than when she first woke up.
Strength flowed back into her after a few sips of water and chicken soup.
“I merely fainted. It’s nothing serious.”
Asking so many doctors toe over was a waste of time.
If the other patients knew that all the doctors were with her, they would definitely have something to
say about it. It was a total waste of resources.
Joe stared at Skr silently.
Paul’s lips twitched. He said, “Mrs. Martin, you didn’t just faint. You’ve been unconscious for four
days. Your temperature dropped as days went by. They ran countless tests on you but could find no
reason for your unconsciousness.
“Two hours ago, they concluded that you might never wake up. You’d be in a vegetative state. This
isn’t nothing. This is absolutely terrifying!”
“Four days? Have I been unconscious for that long?” Skr was surprised.
That exined why Joe seemed dumbstruck by her waking up. The doctors had just been talking
about some kind of miracle.
She was under the impression that she’d fainted briefly. Yet, four days had passed.
“Indeed, it has been long,” Joe stated lowly.
Skr apologetically said, “I’m sorry for worrying you all.”
She hadn’t expected the ck magic to eat her up, and at the time, she didn’t care much about it.
Even before fainting, she thought about how Alexader and Harry should’ve handled the phoenix
figurine.
If Skr had known that she would be unconscious for such a long time, she would’ve told him not
to worry about her.
“Steven called you just now. Would you like to call him back?”

Joe handed her the phone, and Skr reached out to take it. Their fingers touched, and Joe noticed
her icy fingertips.
He asked Skr immediately, “Are you feeling ill?”
Skr was stunned by his question. She answered, “No, I’m feeling alright. I feel stronger now that
I’ve had something to eat.
The doctor told her she would recover after two days of rest.
Why did Joe seem extremely nervous all of a sudden?
Joe’s brows remained furrowed. He held her hands tightly and said, “Your hands are still very cold.”
He nced at Paul and ordered, “Call a doctor over.”
?
“There’s really no need for that. I’m alright. It’s normal to have cold hands, I touched the figurine,
and I just needed some time to recover. Don’t worry, I’m fine,” Skr insisted. She tried to stop Joe
from doing so.
Joe gazed at her deeply. Then, he said, “Alright.”
Skr nced at Joe, who was still holding her hand. She reminded, “I’ll call Steven now.”

“Let’s head out first. We should inform Mr. Gardner Senior and Mr. Srius Senior.” Joe nodded. He
walked out with Paul.
Skr sighed in relief once the door shut behind him.
Joe had looked at her as though she was someone important to him, whom he’d lost
and then regained. She needed to hold herself together with all her might to prevent herself from
getting lost in his eyes.
?
Skr didn’t know how long she could protect herself from the extremely charismatic Joe. Her
imagination had started to run wild.
She inhaled. Then, Skr called Steven.
“Steven, I was busy just now.”
Steven said, “Mom just called me just now. She said that you were renting with someone. As she
hasn’t visited you before, she wants to see you during dinnertime and have a meal together. She
asked me for your address.
“I found an excuse and said that I was busy. I’d said I would send her your address when I was
done. Skr, I don’t think I can keep this from Mom anymore. You need to take Joe to meet her.“.
