Chapter 714 Bad Dream


    Chapter 714 Bad Dream


    Skr stared at the bowl of chicken soup on the coffee table, her appetite waning.


    What she really needed at that moment were some vitality tablets to help calm her down.


    “Don''t bother with these anymore, Madelyn. It''s just a waste of time and effort. Besides, I have no


    appetite for it,” she said dismissively.


    Madelyn didn''t seem too enthusiastic about it either, but she found herself in a difficult position. “Mr.


    Ford sent the ingredients over this afternoon. He specifically instructed me to make this nourishing


    soup to boost your immune system before he left. He must think you''re too skinny for your own good,”


    she exined.


    Skr had heard Tobias mention earlier that morning that she was severely underweight.


    He had remarked how her hands and feet were always icy cold as if he was cuddling up to an ice block


    at night.


    She thought it was just a passingment, but now it seemed he was actually taking it seriously. He


    was certainly proving to be an obstacle to her efforts in maintaining a fit physique.


    Not wanting Tobias'' efforts to be in vain, Skr reluctantly consumed half a bowl of chicken soup.


    She had been apprehensive ever since she arrived home, wondering if Tobias had discovered her


    encounter with Marcus.


    After all, Tobias had a strong distaste for his half-siblings.


    As she sipped the soup, Madelynmented, “Skr, I must say, you''re incredibly aplished for


    your age, and you have such a devoted spouse. You truly have it all.”


    Skr didn''t take thepliment to heart, knowing that Madelyn had witnessed their countless fights.


    Most of the time, Skr did all the talking while Tobias remained silent. When he couldn''t bear it any


    longer, he would simply ask, “Are you done?”


    It took Skr a good half an hour to finish the bowl of chicken soup. Halfway through, Madelyn


    excused herself and retired to her room.


    Skr nced at the clock and realized it was nearly two in the morning. Once again, Tobias had spent


    the entire night away without giving her prior notice.


    Sometimes, she couldn''t help but see this as one of the downsides of living together.


    Tobias'' absence made her feel insecure. Desperate for answers, she dialed his number, but it rang


    unanswered for a long time.


    Frustrated, she retreated upstairs to her room and absentmindedly opened Instagram, only to swiftly


    close it again, unwilling to subject herself to the negativity of thements.


    Her selfie from yesterday had garnered over a hundred thousandments, but her followers had


    dwindled by several hundred thousand.


    It dawned on her that she had seen Isen on her cklist a few days ago, but she dismissed it as a


    N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content.


    glitch orwork issue.


    Yet, upon checking, Isen had mysteriously found himself back on her cklist without her knowledge.


    She opened the live stream, put on her earphones, and quietly listened to the song Isen was currently


    singing.


    At the same time, she felt sorry for Isen that he didn''t have many opportunities to make it big and had


    to settle for being a streamer despite his exceptional talent.


    That night, Skr had a dream where Tobias came home covered in blood, but he seemed unfazed as


    he sat on the sofa, wounds visible all over his body.
