Chapter 352
Out of habit, Skylar didn’t avoid him and even moved closer. After a while, Joe finally fell asleep while holding Skylar, His breathing gradually settled into a calm and steady rhythm.
The next morning, Joe Informed Skylar that he had a three–hour video conference scheduled for the day. Upon hearing that, Skylar decided she would visit the hotel’s aquarium.
Skylar walked out, bag in hand, while Joe was in the middle of his video conference. She closed the door gently. Joe glanced at the door, then returned his focus to the screen.
After getting off the elevator, Skylar followed the staff’s instructions and headed to the aquarium.
She had rarely visited the aquarium since she was a child. The last time might have been during a summer vacation in high school when Steven took them there once. The tickets were too expensive for
them back then.
She had even less time after she went to college as she had to work part–time for her tuition fees and
living expenses.
After entering the aquarium, she took several photos and sent them all to their family WhatsApp group. Several of her family members saw it and praised her for her photography skills, telling her to have fun.
The hotel’s aquarium was huge. By the time she finished strolling around, three hours had already passed.
Joe called when Skylar was heading back to their hotel after leaving the aquarium.
“I’m going to the hospital. Are you coming?” he asked.
Thinking that they were returning to Jipsburg the next day and should visit Jenny before they left, Skylar replied, “Okay, I’ll wait for you in front of the hotel.”
She waited for a few minutes before Joe came out. Upon seeing him, Skylar handed him a sausage and
asked, “Do you want it?”
When she came out of the aquarium, she saw a stand selling grilled sausages. They were grilled to
perfection and had a wonderful aroma, so she bought two right away. They were still hot.
Joe looked at the sausage and replied faintly, “I don’t like it. You eat.”
Skylar nodded and began eating. She thought that this kind of sausage was more suited to ordinary people like her. It made sense for Joe, accustomed to a life of luxury, to dislike it.
Since returning from the sea yesterday, his behavior had become even more perplexing than before. Fortunately, Skylar wasn’t one to dwell on trivial matters. She simply acted as if she hadn’t noticed
anything unusual.
Their car arrived in about two minutes. Skylar, still eating her sausage, asked Joe, “Can you wait for just a
couple more minutes? I want to finish this sausage first.”
“Okay.” Joe remained standing beside her and didn’t get into the car first.
Skylar ate quickly and finished the rest of the sausages in just a few bites. “I am done.”
She signaled to Joe that they could get into the car. Once inside, they sat in silence, creating an
unexpectedly quiet atmosphere.
Lucas, their driver, had been picking them up these days and noticed that they were quite harmonious. However, in the current atmosphere, the tension between them was palpable.
He didn’t dare to speak at all.
They arrived at the hospital in complete silence. From NôvelDrama.Org.
Jenny was on the phone when they entered
the ward, probably chatting with her classmate. Upon seeing them, she immediately finished up the conversation with her classmate and hung up the phone.
