Chapter 937
Gloria’s eyes turned even redder. She exclaimed, “What do you mean you’re fine? I’ve asked the doctor. You were bleeding profusely. Some of your wounds were a hair away from being fatal! I won’t let them get away with it. This time, everyone in Jipsubrg will be our witness.”
“Gloria, I know you feel bad for Joe. I do too. I’m furious. However, it has happened, and nothing we say will change that fact. No one is going to emerge from this situation unscathed. Edwin is detained too!” Ernest loathed this but pretended to take on a different attitude.
Gloria shook her hands coldly. She said, “We’ll talk about this tomorrow. Joe mustn’t be stabbed for nothing. If you did feel bad about him, you wouldn’t have come to the hospital in the middle of the night. Get out, you lot!”
“Since it’s already—”
Before Ernest could finish, Gloria roared, “Get lost!”
No matter their dissatisfaction, they could only leave under Gloria’s strict instructions. Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
Silence reigned over the room once more.
Without the presence of others, Gloria couldn’t help but let the tears stream down her face. She scanned Joe and asked, “Does it hurt now? Why didn’t you tell me the second it happened? If the fight at the club hadn’t caused a huge commotion, and that they were sent to the police station, I wouldn’t even know about it. You!”
Skylar stood beside her and enveloped her in a hug. She consoled Gloria, “Grandma, don’t cry.”
“I’m fine, I’m fine. The wounds have already been stitched up,” Joe said gently.
Gloria’s heart throbbed at how Joe kept insisting he was fine. She asked, “How could you be alright? After all, you were stabbed multiple times.”
Then she turned to Skylar and asked, “Were you scared too?”
She referred to whether Skylar was afraid of Joe’s injury and Ernest’s arrival.
Ernest definitely didn’t treat Skylar pleasantly, if how he used to behave was any indication.
Skylar shook her head. “No, I wasn’t scared.
“Good girl.” Gloria patted her head.

Joe glanced at the clock and said, “Grandma, go home and rest. It’s getting late now. I’m alright. Don’t worry.”
“You uncles…” Gloria was still concerned.
Joe’s eyes glinted coldly. “They can’t do anything to me.”
Tomorrow, they would be in hot water. Joe had been too merciful to him.
Gloria was bewildered for a second. Then she sighed, “I know you’ve got methods to deal with them, but don’t get yourself hurt in the process. I’m getting old now. All I want is for you to be safe.”
After fretting about him in concern, she left, looking exhausted.
Skylar accompanied Gloria to the door.
In front of the hospital, Gloria held Skylar’s hand and said, “Joe likes to swallow his woes. He won’t tell anyone about his worries. I know him very well, as I’ve watched him grow up. With you by his side, he’ll finally have someone to talk to. Skylar, I’ll pass his care over to you. Have a good life together, alright?”
Gloria seemed like she’d aged decades in a night. Skyla nodded and reassured her, Don’t worry, Grandma. I’ll stay by his side. We’ll be alright.”
With this promise from Skylar, Gloria ceased her worries. She got into her car and left Skylar turned back and returned to the hospital.
As she was about to enter the elevator, someone blocked the door and charged in
When Skylar saw who it was, her face fell.
“Joe will divorce you sooner rather than later. I know Joe too well. He married you as a sign of respect to Gloria. Why don’t you consider your backup plans? You can continue being his wife in the public, but we’ll date secretly. How’s that?”
