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

    Jocelyn's body tensed up when she thought about what Skyler had said to her before about how being kind to the enemy is cruel to yourself. At that moment, she suddenly agreed with his words. A person like Giada simply did not deserve sympathy.Draco brought a knife in and handed it to Giada. Giada turned around and trod towards Jocelyn. After taking a step, Skyler's voice suddenly rang out, "Giada, have you had enough?"Giada dropped the knife in her hands and it fell to the ground. She turned around in disbelief and looked at the figure in the corner with shock as her voice shook. "Sky... Skyler!"Giada could not believe that the person she hired had actually kidnapped Skyler too. "Im... impossible, the one they kidnapped was supposed to be Davis!"She grabbed the flashlight from Draco's hands and shone it over. She then saw Skyler's indifferent face glaring coldly at her. Giada instantly panicked and turned to slap Draco across the face. "You idiot! I asked you to k

    In the dark.Skyler fell over and collapsed onto Jocelyn’s body, the both of them colliding into the wall behind them. Jocelyn could hear Skyler’s groaning as he tried to hold back the pain.He used his body as a shield. The faint smell of mint filled Jocelyn’s nostrils as tears trickled down her face.Jocelyn was panicking. She did not know that she could sound this anxious. “Are you okay, Skyler? What’s the matter with you?”She did not know how deep the cut Giada made was and she could not stop her tears from flowing down her cheeks.Giada did not expect this to happen. The knife in her hand clattered to the ground in an instant.She was so shocked that her voice cracked. “Skyler!”She took a step back in panic, a sob rising in her throat. Her tone was hysterical and confused as she spoke, “No…it wasn’t me! I didn’t mean it! Why did you jump in front of her?”She did not understand why things had ended up this way. She liked him so much, yet she was the one who hurt him.Sk

    Lexie glanced at Jocelyn. She sounded upset as she spoke. “Yes, he said that to me in front of Yuni Shaw.”Jocelyn’s expression fell. No wonder Lexie looked so sad.A situation like this would only embarrass Lexie further.She reached out and hugged Lexie tightly. She did not say a word.During the day, Jocelyn kept Lexie company.At night, she was notified that the results of the Ocean Heart Jewelry Competition would be announced at 10 a.m. the next day. A banquet would be specially held at May First Hotel, and all the participants and designers were invited.Jocelyn responded. She had just taken a shower and dried her hair, and she was sitting in the living room.At that moment, the room door suddenly swung open.Jocelyn looked up, her gaze meeting Skyler’s.The look in his eyes drew her in, and Jocelyn could not stop her heart from racing.She could feel that something had changed between them.After they were rescued yesterday, they did not have the chance for any proper

    Jocelyn retracted her gaze, an unsavory feeling rising in her chest. She tightened her lips, thinking about the insane Giada Crain.She did so much harm to her over and over again, all for Skyler.There were so many women clawing after this man. Was she becoming one of them?Her heart turned cold.She replied to Lexie’s message.Jocelyn: [No matter what he asks, just ignore him. We couldn’t be friends two years ago. We shouldn’t see each other!]Lexie: [Got it!]Jocelyn kept away her phone, feeling an inexplicable pressure in her chest.Just as Skyler was about to finish showering, his phone rang again.This time, the screen indicated that the person calling was “Bro”. She glanced at it and guessed that it was probably Skyler’s older brother.She hesitated for a moment but still did not answer the call for Skyler.She grabbed the phone and walked over to the bathroom. “Mr. Moore, your brother is calling you! Do you want me to pick up the call?”Skyler’s voice was mixed wi

    Jocelyn’s gaze darkened. “You don’t have to do that!”“Then will you attend the alumni reunion party?” Walter’s voice was still in that same gentle tone.Jocelyn squeezed her eyes shut, exasperated. “Fine, I’ll come!”He did not force her to attend, but he was forcing everyone else to accommodate her. Jocelyn could not accept that, so she had no choice but to agree to attend the reunion party.He knew that she was not willing to let other people be affected because of her.Walter sounded pleased again. “I knew that there was no way Jo would reject me. I want to see you again!”Jocelyn did not know how to reply, and her voice came out awkwardly. “I’m going to bed now, I’ll see you at the reunion party!”Walter hung up the call reluctantly.When Skyler saw that she had hung up the call, he looked at her with a neutral expression. “Who was that?”Jocelyn sat across from him timidly and answered truthfully. “A senior!”His expression darkened slightly. “Why did he call you?”Joc

    Yuni thought that Jocelyn would not be able to guess her intentions. She was still pretending like she was on Jocelyn’s side as if she were trying to help her seek justice. Yuni gave her an earnest look and said, “Miss White, Lexie knows you like Davis, right?”Jocelyn did not expose this woman’s sinister intentions immediately. She held up her phone and tapped the screen a few times, pulling up the recording app’s interface.She glanced back at Yuni and asked, “Aren’t you rather close with Davis?”Yuni replied hurriedly, “Oh no, you’re mistaken. We’re just friends. I don’t see him that way at all.”Jocelyn’s smile did not reach her eyes. “Is that so? So you’re just friends, huh? You must be really close friends then!”Yuni chuckled and quickly returned to her previous topic. “No matter how close with are, we’re still just friends. If Davis were to get a girlfriend, I’d keep my distance immediately. However… Lexie knows that you like Davis, and yet she insists on liking him as wel

"Uncle Marcel, I suppose you should know why I'm here today!"Marcel looked at Skyler with guilt and nodded, "Yes, Georgina told me about it!"Skyler tried hard to get his rage under control, "I don't understand why Miss Sonnet would want to harm my wife. Miss Sonnet tricked my housekeeper away and gave the bad guys the opportunity to murder my wife!"Marcel had never felt so humiliated.He looked at Skyler with embarrassment. "It is Georgina's fault. I will teach her a lesson. Skyler, I know Georgina has gone too far, and I will punish her. But I hope you can give her a chance!"Skyler's eyes clouded over.

"I wish you and Skyler to be happy. He's really a good man!"Jocelyn smiled, "Thank you. I know that!"...When Skyler came back in the evening, Jocelyn told him that Abel had come earlier in the day.Skyler nodded as he hugged her, "I knew that!""We talked alone. Willa and Wilmer were not around!""I told them to leave you guys alone!""You don't mind me talking to Abel alone?""I used to mind it, but today I don't!""Why?""You've been in a bad mood lately. I hope talking to him can cheer you up! I want you to be happy!" Skyler said in a casual way. Jocelyn knew he meant it.Her eyes welled up with tears. She put her arms around Skyler's waist and buried her head in his chest. "Skyler, why are you so good to me!"Skyler stroked her hair and replied, "You're my wife. Of course, I'm good to you. I prom

    Chapter 822Abel gave a bitter smile, "Don't worry. I heard what happened at your house!"Jocelyn showed a surprised look and asked, "How can you know what happened at our house?"The corner of Abel's mouth twitched and then he sighed resignedly and told Jocelyn everything that happened yesterday, and he also told her what happened between Skyler and him years ago.After hearing Abel's story, Jocelyn froze, a complicated look on her face. "So you actually wronged Skyler for all these years?"Abel felt sorry about that. He used to be good friends with Skyler!Abel nodded glumly, "Yeah, I was stupid. I blamed everything on Skyler before I found out the truth. I didn't expect Skyler would be the one to find out the truth in the end!"Jocelyn glanced at Abel and snorted, "You really were a fool for so many years!"Abel was speechless. He mentally spat, 'Did she need to laugh at me? I still felt awful when I learned that Josie was the one who caused my brother’s death.' But as he ha

    Chapter 821Skyler froze. He didn't know what to say.He also loved Whitie and knew there was no other cat that could replace Whitie, but he couldn't let Jocelyn be overcome with grief forever!Especially now that she was pregnant!Skyler looked at Jocelyn with concern and took her into his arms. "Baby, don't drive me away. It's my fault. I shouldn't have said that. You were right. I just don't want you to be so sad, so I want to find another cat to cheer you up. Since you don't want another cat, I'll finish my work as soon as possible and take you on a trip. I'll stay with you, okay?"Skyler's voice was extremely soft. He tried to pacify Jocelyn.Jocelyn looked at him. "OK."Then after a moment of silence, she murmured, "Actually, you don't have to worry about me so much. I'm strong. I just feel sad! It feels like when my mom left me. Something was gone when they left me. But I have to move on eventually! I'll be fine in a few days!" Jocelyn was looking blankly into the air as

    Chapter 820Dean had been dead for many years. Now Skyler learned the truth, but he didn't feel much too angry. He had mixed feelings in his heart.As Skyler was silent, Jake timidly asked, "Mr. Moore, can you let me go? I've told you everything I know."Skyler glanced at Jake and responded, "You're just Josie's pawn, but you're responsible for Dean's death. I've done enough to your men. I'm not going to do anything to you."Jake thought Skyler was going to let him go, and he rushed to thank Skyler. But Skyler ordered, "Jude, take him to Abel and tell Abel what happened. Then he'll be at Abel's disposal. Also, send more people abroad to find Josie!"Jude nodded and then took Jake out.Jake got really scared. He screamed, "Mr. Moore, you can't do this. I’ve told you everything. Can't you let me go?"Skyler cast an indifferent glance at him, without saying anything.He could let Jake go, but Abel should know how Dean died. Abel must still be angry about his brother's death, even

    Chapter 819Skyler's eyes twinkled. He glanced at Jude and gestured for him to let go of Jake.Jake then rushed to the couch, got on his knees, and begged Skyler, "Mr. Moore, I did two things for Josie. And the other thing... involved a person's life. But it was all Josie's idea. If I tell you about it, will you let me go?"Skyler didn't say anything, his eyes stern.Did Josie make Jake kill someone? This woman was out of her mind! She had tried to hurt Jocelyn before, but accidentally got Renee killed. Skyler didn't expect she had some other crime.From Jake's tone, Skyler sensed that Josie was far more cruel than he thought.'She's such a vicious woman! I can't let her get away with this.'Skyler demanded, 'What is it? Tell me straight! I'll think about it!"Jake took a deep breath and continued, "Do you remember the car accident with Dean and his friend?"Skyler's eyes immediately narrowed. "Yes. What's about it?"Jake continued with a grave face, "Actually, the accident w

    Chapter 818Jude was silent. After a few seconds, he shook his head, "I'm not sure. Jake has been in the Mauve city gang for years. He can't be trusted. But even if he doesn't tell the truth, I have a way to make him tell the truth!"Skyler leaned back on the couch, his expression grave. "OK. Someone must be behind Jake. I won't let any of them off the hook!"Jude nodded, "I'll bring Jake in!"When Jude entered the basement, Jake was standing next to Gary and Gale.Gary and Gale were awake at that moment. Seeing Jake, they groaned in pain, "Sir, did you come here to save us?"Just as Jake was about to answer them, Jude came down the stairs.Jake shivered with fear and he snapped, "What are you talking about?"Jude glanced at the two men lying on the floor like they were a pile of garbage. ‘These two guys tried to hurt Jocelyn, and there's no way Mr. Moore is going to let them go.'As for Jake...' Jude's eyes twinkled, 'It depends on whether he's smart or not.'Jude took Jake

    Chapter 817Jake was stunned. In a trembling voice he asked, "Mr.…. Mr. Moore, what do you want?"Skyler cast a cold glance at him as if he were looking at an ant, and Jake felt a chill run down his spine.Skyler then nonchalantly said, "Gale tried to hit my wife with his elbow, so I got one of his arms chopped off. And Gary tried to beat my wife with a steel pipe, so I had five of his fingers cut off. They say cutting fingers hurts the most, but Gary is lucky and he's still alive. I was going to let him go. However, he kicked my cat to death, so I had to take his leg. But he's tougher than I thought. He's still alive! Jake, do you think I went too far considering what they did in my house?" Skyler said in a slow pace, but Jake was terrified.If Jude hadn't been holding on to the rope tied to Jake’s hand on his back, Jake might have collapsed to the floor.He turned to Skyler with a bitter smile and swallowed.
