    Joe caught the soft sobbinging from the phone.


    The moment the call connected, Skr didn’t say a word. He could only hear her faint and


    restrained


    sobs.


    Joe immediately set down the pen he was holding and asked, “Where are you?”


    After two minutes, Skr managed to calm herself down and replied, “I’m at Oakdale Hospital.”


    Oakdale Hospital?


    Joe’s tone was firm when he said, “Wait for me.” Then, he hung up.


    Skr looked down at her phone, her eyes still red.


    “I’ll keep looking into Madam Vi’s case. We’ve also found the hotel where she stayed after


    arriving in Jipsburg,” Aiken said.


    When he saw Skr burst into tears after answering the call, he had a good guess about who had


    called her. It must have been Joe.


    Just as he suspected, Joe and Skr hadn’t divorced. Joe’s engagement to someone else had


    been part of a n, likely to achieve a certain goal.


    He sighed deeply, feeling a sense of regret.


    Skr had calmed downpletely now.


    Upon hearing that Vi had stayed in a hotel, she immediately asked Aiken, “Is the room she was


    staying in still being held by the hotel?”


    “Yes, she paid for a month. Here’s the room key. I’ve written the room number on it. You can go


    there and checkter. Some of her personal belongings are still in the room,” Aiken exined.


    Skr took the key and thanked him. Aiken gave her a deep look and said, “I’m sorry for your loss.


    We also need to start making preparations for Madam Vi’s funeral.”


    “Don’t worry, I’m fine now. Grandma Vi had no other rtives. As her disciple and


    granddaughter, I’ll take care of her funeral,” Skr said solemnly.


    “Alright, then. I have other matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave now. And I’ll continue


    investigating Madam Vi’s matters,” Aiken said while ncing at the time.


    It had been over ten minutes since Joe’s call. So, he would probably arrive soon since the roads


    were not jammed anymore.


    Aiken thought it best to avoid crossing paths with him for now.


    “Thank you. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have been able to see Grandma Vi,” Skr said.


    Aiken just smiled and said nothing.


    If he could, he wished Skr wouldn’t be so formal with him. But for now, that barrier of formality


    between them as friends wouldn’t be broken easily, not while she was still Mrs. Martin.


    Shortly after Aiken left, Joe arrived.

    Seeing Skr’s swollen eyes, he walked over without asking any questions and hugged her.


    This made Skr couldn’t hold back and cry again.


    2/2


    She cried for a long time. When she finally calmed down again, she realized her tears had soaked


    his suit.


    “Joe, I found Grandma Vi,” she said, her eyes red as she looked up at him.


    Joe was a little surprised. He had guessed a few possibilities on the way, thinking that Skr’s


    close friend or family member might be hospitalized, causing her to worry. He didn’t expect it to be


    Vi.


    “Is she sick? Don’t worry. There are plenty of


    her.”


    Op specialists in Jipsburg. They’ll definitely be able to help


    Listening to Joe’s gentle reassurances, Skr cried even harder.


    If only that were the case. If only Vi were just sick. No matter what the illness was, she would


    have taken her to find the best treatment. But…
