    Jealousy made people unrecognizable. Joe was a target for it, considering his current position. No


    wonder Gloria said Joe was lonely. How could he not be when his family members schemed


    against him out of jealousy?


    Skr stood beside Paul and waited for 15 minutes.


    Then, she met Joe. He had taken his shirt off, and he was covered in bandages.


    Joe was surprised to see Skr at first. Then, he red at Paul.


    Paul hadn’t gotten Joe’s permission before calling Skr. He was feeling rather diffident now, so he


    avoided Joe’s eyes. He said, “I’ll buy a big shirt for you, Mr. Martin.”


    He escaped immediately after.


    “Do we need to fill in the admissions paperwork now?” Skr only realized she was trembling when


    her voice shook while talking to the doctor.


    From Paul’s descriptions, Skr knew that Joe had been stabbed. However, she wasn’t expecting


    him to be this badly wounded.


    “Thankfully, his vital organs remained unharmed. His seven wounds have been stitched up.


    However, he needs to be hospitalized for two days. You’ve got to take care of him while he’s in the


    hospital. The nurses will change out his bandages daily,” said the doctor.


    Skr immediately nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll do so. Thank you.”


    After he left, Skr immediately approached Joe and asked, “How are you feeling now?”


    “I’m alright.” He still looked pale and weak. Joe didn’t want Skr to


    2/3


    see such a powerless side of him. How dare Paul tell Skr about this?


    From the looks of it, she already knew why he’d gotten hurt. Annoyance bubbled within him when


    he thought of how Skr was finding out about those messy rtions within the Martin family.


    “Take a nap. I’ll be in the neighboring bed. Call me if you need anything,” Skr said gently.


    Joe wasn’t used to being taken care of as a patient. He’d never exposed his vulnerabilities to


    someone else before.

    However, he’d been awake half the night, and his eyelids were extremely heavy. Even though he


    hated letting Skr see this part of him, he grudgingly epted it. He could rest his worries with her


    here. Sleep would im him soon.


    Skry beside him in the neighboring bed. However, she was wide awake. She observed his


    bandages and studied the clothes dumped unceremoniously aside. They were soaked through by


    blood and thus


    wholly unrecognizable.


    Skr couldn’t even bring herself to consider the alternative


    oues of this situation. If one of those stabs hadnded on his vital organs, now…


    Her heart clenched.


    She eventually fell asleep after fretting about Joe. However, it was a fitful sleep.


    Suddenly, someone knocked on the door while Skr drifted in and


    out of consciousness.


    It woke Skr up. She opened her eyes and looked at the door.


    It was the middle of the night. Who woulde knocking?


    There was no way it was a nurse.


    Perhaps owing to the shut door andck of response, the person outside knocked three more times.


    He was now pounding on the door.


    Skr’s expression turned grim. She nced at Joe. Then, she got out of bed and headed over to


    open the door.


    As she was about to get there, Joe spoke suddenly. He didn’t sound like he’d just woken up when


    he said, “Turn on the lights.”


    “Alright.” Skr walked to the door and did as she was asked. Before she opened the door, she


    turned back and nced at Joe.
