Jealousy made people unrecognizable. Joe was a target for it, considering his current position. No wonder Gloria said Joe was lonely. How could he not be when his family members schemed against him out of jealousy?

Skylar stood beside Paul and waited for 15 minutes.

Then, she met Joe. He had taken his shirt off, and he was covered in bandages.

Joe was surprised to see Skylar at first. Then, he glared at Paul.

Paul hadn’t gotten Joe’s permission before calling Skylar. He was feeling rather diffident now, so he avoided Joe’s eyes. He said, “I’ll buy a big shirt for you, Mr. Martin.”

He escaped immediately after.

“Do we need to fill in the admissions paperwork now?” Skylar only realized she was trembling when her voice shook while talking to the doctor.

From Paul’s descriptions, Skylar knew that Joe had been stabbed. However, she wasn’t expecting him to be this badly wounded.

“Thankfully, his vital organs remained unharmed. His seven wounds have been stitched up. However, he needs to be hospitalized for two days. You’ve got to take care of him while he’s in the hospital. The nurses will change out his bandages daily,” said the doctor.

Skylar immediately nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll do so. Thank you.”

After he left, Skylar immediately approached Joe and asked, “How are you feeling now?”

“I’m alright.” He still looked pale and weak. Joe didn’t want Skylar to

see such a powerless side of him. How dare Paul tell Skylar about this?

From the looks of it, she already knew why he’d gotten hurt. Annoyance bubbled within him when he thought of how Skylar was finding out about those messy relations within the Martin family.

“Take a nap. I’ll be in the neighboring bed. Call me if you need anything,” Skylar said gently.

Joe wasn’t used to being taken care of as a patient. He’d never exposed his vulnerabilities to someone else before.

However, he’d been awake half the night, and his eyelids were extremely heavy. Even though he hated letting Skylar see this part of him, he grudgingly accepted it. He could rest his worries with her here. Sleep would claim him soon.

Skylar lay beside him in the neighboring bed. However, she was wide awake. She observed his bandages and studied the clothes dumped unceremoniously aside. They were soaked through by blood and thus NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

wholly unrecognizable.

Skylar couldn’t even bring herself to consider the alternative

outcomes of this situation. If one of those stabs had landed on his vital organs, now…

Her heart clenched.

She eventually fell asleep after fretting about Joe. However, it was a fitful sleep.

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door while Skylar drifted in and

out of consciousness.

It woke Skylar up. She opened her eyes and looked at the door.

It was the middle of the night. Who would come knocking?

There was no way it was a nurse.

Perhaps owing to the shut door and lack of response, the person outside knocked three more times. He was now pounding on the door.

Skylar’s expression turned grim. She glanced at Joe. Then, she got out of bed and headed over to open the door.

As she was about to get there, Joe spoke suddenly. He didn’t sound like he’d just woken up when he said, “Turn on the lights.”

“Alright.” Skylar walked to the door and did as she was asked. Before she opened the door, she turned back and glanced at Joe.
