Chapter 806


    ?


    Joe leaned down and kissed Skr. The kiss was both domineering and lingering. It felt almost like a punishment, growing more intense with each moment.


    They were so familiar with each other''s bodies that every sensitive spot gradually sparked with desire.


    When everything calmed down, it was two hourster.


    Skry limp in Joe''s arms, feeling utterly drained.


    The aftermath was silent, yet spoke volumes. The sound of their heartbeats was particrly loud and rhythmic.


    Once Skr found her voice, she asked, "What are we now?"


    Joe''s body tensed at her question. He didn''t respond immediately and waited a few minutes before saying, "As long as we''re not divorced, we''re still a couple. I thought you wanted this too."


    Skr''s expression shifted slightly, but she didn''t say anything further. She was either truly exhausted or simply had no expectations.


    Seeing Skr''s silence, Joe''s gaze hardened. He wanted to say something but suddenly felt it wasn''t necessary.


    He realized that he had been somewhat forceful. During their time together, he knew exactly how to elicit a reaction from her, and the underlying motive for his actions this time was far from pure.


    At 10:00 am, a car ident urred in front of Apollo Hospital. The ident resulted in one death and two injuries.


    The two vehicles collided, resulting in the immediate death of the cab driver. The two upants of the private car sustained severe injuries and were rushed to the hospital.


    The cause of the ident was still under investigation by the police.


    When Vera''s family learned that their rtives, Marlon Ruell and Hayden ter had been in a car ident, they rushed to the hospital.


    In just three days, Denton fell ill and was hospitalized, and their rtives were involved in a car ident.


    For a moment, the entire Ruell family was tense. Outside the operating room, the Ruell family members were abuzz with spection.


    "Could this ident have been a deliberate attack on them?"


    "Creating such a scene outside the испа hospital? The taxi driver lost his life instantly. It seems like a


    straightforward ident. However, with the series of misfortunes happening to our familytely, it does seem odd."


    "Let''s not jump to conclusions. We should wait for the police''s report."


    Vera''s face looked grim.


    She suddenly recalled a phone call from Alexander to Denton not long ago. Alexander had said that the two antiques she had won at the auction were negative items and would bring trouble.


    At that time, both she and Denton had dismissed it. Now, she wondered if the painting was a negative item.Property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    The other antique was still at Ruell Residence. She intended to give it as a gift for Buck''s uing birthday, but given the current situation, she hesitated.


    As she debated whether to bring this


    up, she thought of Skr. She nearly made a mistake-Alexander''s remarks were likely swayed by


    Skr''s intentions, as she was interested in acquiring the antiques.


    It seemed that Denton, Marlon, and Hayden''s idents were simply unfortunate events.


    "Vera, what are you thinking about? Are you worried about your Uncle Marlon and Aunt Hayden?" Vera''s mom, Penelope Weinstein, asked gently.


    Vera had been looking worriedtely. She had just returned from abroad, and now the Ruell family faced multiple crises. Anyone would be concerned. Vera nodded slightly. "I hope both Uncle Marlon and Aunt Hayden are alright and that Grandpa can recover and be discharged soon."
