Chapter 721 Bing More And More Capricious


    Tobias had read the articles online about how Skr had appeared distracted during the


    promotional activities for the movie. The media called her out for looking surly the entire time and


    being uncooperative.


    He answered casually, “There''s nothing the matter with me. It''s just a light case of inmmation.


    Nothing major. Why do you look just like a woman whose husband just passed away? You''re even


    crying.”


    Skr sniffled as she wiped away her tears with the back of her hand. When women fall sick, they


    be clingy with their other halves and exaggerate their illnesses on purpose. Men, on the other


    hand, like to act tough.


    She touched his forehead. When she felt that his temperature seemed to have dropped a little, she


    finally breathed a sigh of relief. “Thank heavens! If something happened to you, I''d never be able to


    forgive myself.”


    By then, it was already evening. Tobias threw back the covers. Without waiting to call for a nurse,


    he pulled the needle from the back of his hand. Skr was shocked when she saw that. Isn''t he


    being too rough with himself?


    “Where are you going? Sheldon said you have to stay at the hospital to receive shots of antibiotics


    over the next few days. You''ll only be discharged after the inmmation gets better.”


    “I can''t sleep when it''s a different bed, let alone in a hospital. Don''t listen to Sheldon''s nonsense. It''s


    nothing serious. I''m heading to the office now. I''ll drop you off back home on the way,” came his


    reply.


    She raised her arms to block his path. “You''re not going anywhere. I''ve already dropped my work to


    come and find you, so can''t you at least suck it up for a bit? Nothing will happen even if you don''t go


    to the office for one day.”


    Tobias lifted his hands and grasped her arms. His voice was low and hoarse as he said, “When did


    you start to nag so much? Something happened to your family, so I want to go and take care of it.”


    Skr''s heart twisted as her thoughts flew to Harbourside. Miranda had called her several times in


    the past few days. However, she had not answered the calls. The same went for Penelope and


    Wesley''s family. Anyone who had anything to do with Harbourside had been trying to reach her.


    As she followed him, she saw his tall figure walk unsteadily. She reached out to hold his arm, but he


    made her let go.


    She released his arm as though she had been electrocuted and looked into his dark eyes in


    puzzlement. “Why won''t you let me hold you? Are you worried I''ll embarrass you?”


    “You''re being unreasonable. Weren''t you the one who said we should maintain our distance in


    crowded ces? I was only respecting your wishes,” he replied.


    Putting on her mask, Skr smiled as she uttered, “I wonder whether that was to satisfy your


    wishes or mine.”


    Tobias could hear the tone ofint in her voice even though she did not express it clearly.


    She''s bing more and more capricious, and her words even carry a sting.


    She stopped in front of the convenience store inside the hospital and called out to him, who had


    already walked far ahead. “Did you eat the oatmeal I made for you?”


    He turned around, halting in his tracks. “You put in too much water. It turned out more like a soup.”


    I remember adding in just the right amount of water. Who knows whether he''s just trying to humiliate


    me because he resents me for leaving after making the oatmeal?


    She entered the convenience store, grabbed a couple of buns from the shelf, and took two packs of


    milk from the food warmer cab. By the time she came out, Tobias was nowhere to be seen.


    Her fingers clenched together tightly, nearly squashing the bread in her hands. How could Tobias


    not have a shred of patience and courtesy, leaving just like that without even looking back? And


    here I was, fretting like an olddy that he might get hungry.


    When she called his phone, he told her to return home first as he was in a hurry.


    Hence, she sat on a long bench in the hospital to call her driver, letting him know where she was


    and asking him to pick her up.


    While walking past the emergency department''s entrance, she noticed a familiar figure. Isn''t that the


    woman who has been very close with Sheldon recently? I think her name is Judy.


    N?velDrama.Org is the owner.


    Jogging after the stretcher, Skr soon realized that not only was the youngdy lying on it covered


    in blood, but she had also been shed several times in the face. Skr cast a nce from afar. It


    was an utterly horrifying sight as the young woman''s face had be a mangled mess of flesh and


    blood.
