Chapter 41


    “How would I know? In any case, it had to be a family member of yours. It was a fancy car.”


    A fancy car? It must’ve been Tobias, then.


    I don’t know anyone else who drives a fancy car apart from him. Or could it have been Jeremy? Oh,


    dream on. As if that b*stard would do anything for anyone but himself.


    Skr whipped out her phone only while making her way back home and found several missed calls


    from Tobias.


    She then called him back only to hear an especially disgruntled voice. “You just got a new phone, but it


    still takes you that long to answer it?”


    “I silenced it and kept it in my purse,” Skr exined. “I’ve just checked it. Where’s my mother?”


    Tobias sounded slightly taunting. “What’s the point in you knowing? It’s not like you want to see her.”


    He’s keeping me on my toes even up till now? Skr couldn’t take it. “I want to see her. She’s still my


    mother, after all, so please tell me where she is. Where have you taken her?”


    Delighted to hear Skr using the word “please,” Tobias gave her the hospital address.


    “You should think this through, though. She’s not in her best mental state at the moment.”


    “Okay,” Skr responded half-heartedly and hung up before Tobias had even finished.

    You’re heartless.


    Spotting an ATM by the roadside, she took out the ck card Tobias had given her and withdrew a


    thousand in cash. Then, she dropped by a fruit stall and bought a fruit basket.


    Memories of her past were so vague that the young woman didn’t know what her own mother enjoyed


    eating.


    At the same time, Tobias stared at the notification of a one-thousand cash withdrawal on his phone and


    smirked.


    Skr was possibly the thriftiest woman he had ever met. She had only used one thousand despite


    having kept the card for so many days.


    After that, Skr carried the fruit basket to Haywest Hospital and obtained Miranda’s ward number from


    the psychiatric department’s receptionist.


    At the door to Miranda’s ward, a young, handsome, and gentle-looking man, who was dressed


    fashionably, stood there waiting.


    The man’s eyes seemed oddly familiar to Skr as though they had once met.


    “Hey there, prettydy. You must’ve gotten the wrong room.” The man stopped Skr just as she ced


    her hand on the door handle.


    Skr nced at the ward number, making sure she wasn’t mistaken.


    “Nope, my mom’s just been hospitalized. This is her ward.”


    Sheldon eyed the woman before him with curiosity. Why would Tobias be interested in a girl whose


    mother just came out of prison?


    Still, Sheldon refused to let Skr in. He merely leaned against the door frame with a seemingly innocent


    smile.


    “You can head in, but tell me, what’s going on between you and my brother?”


    “Your brother?” Skr gazed at the young man in surprise.


    Oh, it’s no wonder their eyes look so alike! Although this guy looks a little softer.


    Sheldon nodded. “Yup. My dear older brother’s the one who made me pick her up from prison first thing


    in the morning. My name’s Sheldon.”


    The man extended a hand toward Skr, and she shook it. “I’m Skr Jones – a friend of your


    brother’s.”


    Upon hearing Skr’s name, Sheldon thought back to what Avery had asked him that day.


    This caused him to freeze up momentarily. What is my brother doing with such a trashy woman?


    Compared to Tanya, he despised schoolgirls who sold their bodies to men. Aren’t you taking the


    phrase “robbing the cradle” a little too far, Tobias?


    Sheldon suddenly became aloof, and his smile vanished. “Your mother’s been sedated, so she’s fast


    asleep. Go on in.”


    Skr noticed the change in Sheldon’s behavior upon hearing her name. He now looked at her as


    though she was an eyesore.
