Skyler’s expression darkened. He must be a fool to try to test out Jocelyn’s reaction.She even mentioned Abel. How annoying!He spoke to her coldly with a stony expression on his face. It was as if Jocelyn owed him a fortune. “I got it!” Jocelyn nodded and repeated, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll return to the room first!”Skyler ignored her. Jocelyn pursed her lips, turned around, and left. As soon as Jocelyn entered the room, Skyler kicked the wall angrily. A grey footprint appeared on the wall, which was embossed with white patterns. Just then, a waitress passed by. When she saw Skyler kicking the wall, she could not help but say, “Sir, you’re vandalizing the hotel!” There was a terribly unpleasant expression on his face. Even a mere waitress was trying to go against him!His face darkened as he shouted, “So what if I vandalize it!” The waitress frowned. Skyler seemed to be a reputable man. He was well-dressed as well. Why was he asking such a foolish questio
Jocelyn frowned tightly. Her neck felt rather itchy. She reached out her arm to scratch at it.Her neck grew even itchier. After a while, her face flushed red. She reached out her hand to feel her face. She felt extremely uncomfortable.She closed her eyes in pain. She felt like her entire body was heating up.Jocelyn was not a fool. She could clearly feel that something was wrong with her. This feeling felt extremely familiar. It felt like… she was allergic! The more Jocelyn suffered, the clearer her mind was. She thought about how everyone in the design department had a gathering in Serene Court when she previously won an award in a competition. Back then, everyone found out that she was allergic to seafood. She then recalled the bowl of pork congee that Yuni had taken for her today morning. She thought that the congee tasted weird back then, but she did not think much about it. That was because she usually did not eat seafood due to her allergy. Now that she thought about it,
Jocelyn was shocked. “Mr. Moore, what are you doing?” There was a cold expression on Skyler’s face. “If you were a stranger, I’d still send you to the hospital given how terrible you look right now!” Jocelyn resisted the urge to throw up and said, “You can put me down! I can walk myself!” Skyler felt like choking her in rage. “Your legs are trembling so badly. Are you sure you can walk on your own?” Jocelyn kept quiet for a while. Skyler exuded an icy aura as he carried Jocelyn and took large strides toward the car park. Jocelyn’s face was pressed up against Skyler’s chest. She caught a whiff of the faint scent of mint on his body. At this moment, she felt rather at ease. Skyler knew that Jocelyn had held on for such a long time only after eating some allergy pills. Her condition had not improved much. She must be suffering badly. He drove extremely quickly and sent Jocelyn to the nearest hospital. Jocelyn found it harder and harder to breathe. She frowned and bit
Davis rushed into the room with a panicked expression on his face. “Jocelyn, are you alright?” Yuni had just told him that Jocelyn was feeling unwell. He felt highly regretful. If it were not for his carelessness, this might not have happened to Jocelyn. Skyler was extremely dissatisfied with Davis. An unpleasant expression appeared on his face when he recalled that Jocelyn had had breakfast with him. He cast a dark look at Davis and spoke to him in an angered tone, “She would have lost her life if she waited for you to find out about it and send her to the hospital! Do you still think that she’s alright?!” Davis looked at Jocelyn with a guilty expression on his face. “I’m sorry, Jocelyn. I just found out about it!”Jocelyn shook her head and said, “It’s alright, this has nothing to do with you. I wasn’t careful!” Skyler felt extremely irked when he heard what Jocelyn said. He frowned and glanced at Jocelyn. He then huffed coldly, turned around, and walked outside. D
Davis frowned and said, “That isn’t a good idea. Jocelyn isn’t feeling well, and you want to visit a mall…” Yuni was slightly angered. “When we were at Mauve City, I was afraid that Fiona would go against me if I approached you. Now that we’re in Greene City, and yet you still can’t accompany me out. Didn’t you tell me that we’re best friends?”Yuni clearly knew that the relationship between her and Davis was rather ambiguous right now. She could cross the line and make requests that girlfriends would typically make in the name of friendship She was extremely patient. Once Davis confessed his feelings to her, both of them would be able to be together.They would soon get together. Davis was extremely tolerant toward her, and she basically thought of herself as his girlfriend. Yuni’s mind was filled with wonderful daydreams. However, Davis hesitated and rejected her request. “No, I can’t go to the mall with you when Jocelyn isn’t feeling well!”An irritated expression appeared
The doctor pushed open the door, took Jocelyn’s temperature, and asked about her physical condition. Then, he turned to face Skyler and said, “Mr. Moore, the patient is fine now and can be discharged now!”Skyler was stunned as it was so sudden. Even a calm and composed person like him could not think clearly. He thought about what he said to Jocelyn earlier and his expression suddenly became bad and his voice was stiff. “She hasn’t recovered yet so she can’t be discharged!”The doctor thought that he was a family member that was too worried about the patient so he explained. “Even though the patient almost went into shock, it’s just the body’s response to stress. As long as she recovers, it’ll be no big deal!”Skyler had more to say but Jocelyn interrupted him. “Mr. Moore, there are too many germs in the hospital. Even if my body was originally fine, I might contract other diseases! I think being discharged is better!”His face changed slightly when he heard Jocelyn put it tha
Jocelyn looked out the car’s window and her facial expression suddenly changed too. When she was talking to Skyler earlier, she did not notice that the car was driving further and further away and now they were at a deserted place with no idea where she was. All this happened in an instant. When Skyler shouted, not only did the car not stop, but instead, it drove even faster. Skyler’s expression immediately became dark. When he walked out of the hospital, he only recognized his car but did not pay attention to the driver. He thought that the driver was arranged by Greene City and did not realize that the driver had been switched! This was his first time making such a low-level mistake. He quickly got up and wanted to grab the man in the driver’s seat. However, the driver stepped on the pedal and violently rammed into the stone pillar on the side of the road. The car rocked violently as Skyler let go of his hand that was gripping the driver’s arm and immediately tu
The gangsters got control over the situation and attacked in an instant. All of a sudden, countless steel pipes fell on Skyler’s back which made him groan in pain. During the chaos, he was hit on the leg which caused him to stumble and land on the ground with one knee. Jocelyn’s eyes shot open and her expression drastically changed. “Stop it!”Not only did the gangsters ignore him but they began to hit him more viciously.The man sneered and said sarcastically in Jocelyn’s ear, “Yo, you’re still trying to help the pretty boy!”Jocelyn was so worried that she was full of tears and her voice was trembling. “Skyler, don’t worry about me. If you keep resisting, you’re going to get yourself killed!”Skyler was curled on the ground with his head between his arms. He laid there motionless and Jocelyn’s voice was hoarse from crying. The man finally blew off some anger so he waved his hand and said, “Tie him up! We’ll talk when we get to the location!”Skyler was wounded. He lifted
