Chapter 104


    Scenes from the past shed across her mind and tears welled up in her eyes. She couldn’t understand


    what was in her mind then that she didn’t see through the man earlier.


    She had no one to depend on. Isted and helpless, she had only herself.


    Looking at Skr who was tearing up with her reddened eyes in his arms, Tobias thought it was because


    she was feeling exceedingly ufortable or afraid of getting an injection.


    Tobias, who was iron-hearted, despised seeing women cry. However, the way Skr was holding back


    her tears touched the softest spot in his heart.


    “I’ll send you to the hospital and tell the doctor not to give you an injection. How about that?”


    Skr looked up at Tobias. In that instance, the usually aloof and distant face of his was kindling a gentle


    glow.


    Laura, who was watching from the side, rolled her eyes in secret. No wonder Tobias’ wedding has been


    postponed.


    Ms. Hanson is such a pretty youngdy with an affluent upbringing, a highly educated background, and a


    cordial and elegant character. She has all the traits that a mature woman possesses; how enviable is


    that?


    Yet, for some reason, men like this kind of pretentious little girl and there is no exception with Tobias. It’s


    such a shame.


    It’s just some minor illness but look at the way she’s fawning. Seriously? She’s not even one of those


    over-coddled heiresses from some prominent family.


    Laura was mocking Skr secretly. Dirt-poor maiden but with a princess-like fragile body.


    Skr nodded eventually. She was feeling very unwell throughout her body. All her joints were aching


    and it wasn’t even this bad when she was having the meat fondue.


    It was probably the result of having sweated profusely andter blustered by the cool breeze.


    On the way to the hospital, Skr wasn’t seated in the passenger seat but wasin in the backseat.


    Coating her was a warm orange Hermès nket with a faint scent of the car fragrance on it.


    It was a nket Tobias found in the trunk of his car and Skr was covering herself with it very


    meticulously lest any part of it unraveled again.


    When they reached the hospital, it was already past midnight. Skr waited on the bench while Tobias


    was ready to line up for registration and payment.


    “I don’t have health insurance,” Skr stressed as usual.


    She had no medical card and therefore, she could only use the temporarily filled-out booklet provided at


    the reception counter.


    Tobias replied nonchntly, “Well, it happens that I don’t have one either.”


    Skr closed her eyes. Tobias can probably buy any hospital at will. That’s the harsh reality— the


    destitute can’t afford medical insurance and the rich aren’t even bothered about such things.


    She took out her identity card from her pocket and handed it over to Tobias.


    Tobias took a nce at Skr’s picture on her identity card. She was probably only sixteen or seventeen


    years old when the picture was taken, which looked much younger than she was at the moment.


    Tobias filled out Skr’s name and identity card number on the booklet and at the age column, he


    penned down habitually: Thirty-five!


    On second thought, he realized he made a mistake so he stroke it off and wrote “twenty” on it.


    He couldn’t avoid the fact that he was fifteen years older than Skr. This age gap was rather huge.


    Sometimes Tobias’ logical sense would keep telling him that he was only utilizing his own time to y a


    game with this little girl.


    In his eyes, Skr was just an inexperienced and na?ve young girl.


    After registration and payment was made, the nurse took her temperature and the reading was thirty-


    nine. She was having a fever.


    Downstairs, before they went up to the clinic, Skr caught Tobias by his hand from behind to stop him.


    Tobias looked at her in puzzlement. “I have already registered for you. Are you still afraid?”


    Skr shook her head and reminded Tobias, “There’s a high chance of being infected at the clinics. Why


    don’t you wear a mask? The convenience store in the hospital should be selling them.”

    Tobias was very surprised indeed. Since when does Skr start to care about me? She was the person


    who would only order a cup of coke for herself.


    He shrugged. “It’s okay. Let me go with you.”


    Tobias went into the consultation room together with Skr. Since it wasn’t the Obstetrics and


    Gynecology Department, men were allowed.
