Chapter 719
Joe strolled over with his long legs. He moved at a leisurely pace.
Skr nodded. “Yes, it’s much better. I’ve been applying ointment daily, so there shouldn’t be any
scarring.”
Though injuries were minorpared to life itself, she still cared about her appearance. Scars on
her forehead and hands would definitely affect her looks.
Before Skr could finish her sentence, Joe swept her into his arms.
“I asked Dr. Stone. We’re cleared for marital activities.”
“What did you say?” Skr stared at Joe in disbelief.
He actually asked Drake.
She had a check–up scheduled for tomorrow. How was she supposed to face
Drake now?
Before she could ponder further, Joe had already set her down on the bed. His warm breath
brushed against her lips. “Focus.”
Since their intimacy began, Joe had always taken the lead. His dominance made it impossible to
refuse him.
Skr spent the entire night with no time or energy to think about how she would manage her
hospital visit the next day.
They moved through the night, their bodies entwined until exhaustion overcame them.
As she trembled uncontrobly, Skr, in a daze, asked, “Are you in love with
me?”
A drop of sweat fell at the corner of her eye. He held her close, feeling her tremors, and asked in
return, “What did you just ask me?”
Skr slowly regained her awareness and weakly shook her head. “It’s nothing.”
”????
carry you to the shower.” Joe didn’t press further. As always, he carried Skr to the shower after
their time together.
Skr merely hummed in response.
After her shower, Skr found herself unable to sleep.
Joe also had trouble sleeping.
Skr sensed that Joe had something on his mind.
Sure enough, Joe spoke up. “Grandma wasn’t feeling well when she was at Avalon Residence. She
would always fall sick whenever she went there, but this time, it seemed worse.”
Skr immediately asked, “Did Grandma specify where she felt unwell? Did she see a doctor?”
“We have a family doctor, but they found nothing serious. They suspected fatigue from the long
drive. Still, it didn’t seem right,” Joe said seriously.
Skr couldn’t stay calm. “Did she go to the hospital afterward?”
Gloria’s health was fragile, so timely medical attention was crucial if something was wrong.
“We went to the hospital first. Don’t worry. She felt much better after leaving Avalon Residence,” Joe
assured her.
Skr breathed a sigh of relief. “She felt better after leaving?”

She appeared to have thought of something.
Almost as if reading her thoughts, Joe pulled out his phone and said, “Here’s a video of Avalon
Residence that I had someone take. It covers almost every corner. Do you have the energy to watch
it?”
The phrase “Do you have the energy” left Skr momentarily speechless. After shooting him a look,
she tapped the screen to start ying.
The video showed some sounds and glimpses of people. However, Skr’s attention wasn’t on the
people but rather on the decorations and furnishings in each area.
Avalon Residence was quiterge, and almost every part of the house was shown except for two
rooms.
“These two rooms aren’t in the footage,” Skr pointed out.
Joe nodded. “Those two rooms belong to Uncle Derek and Uncle Garth. Their
3/3
rooms are usually off–limits to anyone.”
“There doesn’t seem to be any issue with the areas shown in the video,” Skr confirmed.
Joe frowned. “If there were something unusual, it would likely be in their rooms, but there’s nothing
out of the ordinary.”
“Could it really just be a coincidence?” Skr wondered. She was puzzled.
Avalon Residence seemed normal on the surface. It was a ce with excellent fortune, even better
than Pearlhall Residence, where Gloria lived.
Such a ce usually didn’t allow for significant disturbances from negative
items.
Gloria only felt unwell after returning, which meant that any negative items would likely have also
affected the other residents.
But ording to Joe, everyone else in the family was fine.
