Chapter 702


    Half an hourter, Natalie tried calling Skr again. However, there was still no answer. Worried,


    she went to the Martin Group and found Paul. After checking with Joe, Paul informed her that Skr


    was in the hospital.


    Natalie rushed over, her heart pounding. When she reached the hospital, she found Skr’s ward


    quickly.


    “Wow, you were in such a serious car ident!” Paul had mentioned it


    was a car crash.


    Skr, however, downyed the severity. “It’s nothing serious,” she insisted, her smile strained.


    “Nothing serious?” Natalie was skeptical, given the visible injuries on Skr’s forehead and hand.


    Skr had always been cautious and diligently followed traffic rules. It was hard to believe she


    could have been in such a serious ident.


    “How bad is it?” Natalie asked, worried about scars. Skr’s face was too precious for even a minor


    one.


    “It looks worse than it is. With proper care, there won’t be a scar.”


    “You’re too calm about this. I’m more worried than you. Did your phone get damaged too?” Natalie


    sat down beside her.


    “It broke in the crash. I’ve already ordered a new one. It should be here


    soon.”


    They were alone in the ward, so they chatted easily.

    Natalie’s eyes darted around the room before she casually brought up Joe. “How’s Joe treating


    you?”


    Despite the ident, Joe’s mind was still on work. He was undeniably a


    workaholic.


    Skr smiled. “He’s been great.”


    Natalie noticed a shift in Skr’s expression at the mention of Joe


    A realization dawned on Natale. It was clear to Natalie that Skr had feelings for Joe, even if


    others couldn’t see it


    Natalie gave Skr a teasing nce and asked, “Have you caught feelings for Joe?*


    Though they were married, Skr had always said their rtionship was more like that of a


    roommate without spmantic feelings.


    Sharing a home as mere cohabitants without any emotional bond, would feel quite empty if they had


    no romance feelings


    Natalie thought about her ownplicated situation with Jeremy, and her teasing smile faded.


    Forget it. I won’tplicate things for you. Anyway, I was so warned I even went to the Martin


    Group, and now I’m starving. Did Dr. Stone say what you can eat? Let me order us something”


    Natalie, her mood lifting again, pulled out her phone to browse food delivery options


    “It’s almost noon, and I’m getting hungry too. I can eat most things, but i need to avoid spicy, fired,


    and strmting foods like seafood,” Skr


    replied.


    Due to her injuries, spicy and greasy foods could hinder her healing, so she


    had to be careful with her diet


    Natalie modded. “Alright, I’ll find something for us. Not to brag, but I’m very familiar with these


    delivery apps and have a bunch of discount coupons *


    “Impressive? Skr said with a smile


    “Of course” Natalie replied with a


    Half an hourter, the deliveries started arriving at the ward. They had just begun eating when the


    door suddenly opened


    Joe entered with long strides, holding a lunch from the hotel. His eyesnded on Natalie, and he


    raised on eyebrow, his tone turning icy You’re


    Natalie nearly choked on her food at his remark. After carefully swallowing, she replied with mild


    frustration, “I’m nning to stay with Skr tonight. You’re busy, so it’s only fair that I take care of


    her.”


    Natalie didn’t miss the look Joe gave her–it was clear he saw her as a third wheel. After all, his first


    words to her were about why she was still there.


    “No need. I’ll be staying at the hospital tonight,” Joe said tly.
