Claude Hospital.

Lexie's test result came back, and it was indeed a gastrointestinal hemorrhage.

The doctor gave her first aid to stop the bleeding, and Jocelyn breathed a sigh of relief when Lexie was sent to the general ward.

Jim stood gloomily outside the ward, never saying a word.

When Jocelyn met Jim before, he always looked cheeky and nonchalant. This was the first time she saw him so gloomy and scary.

After this incident, Jocelyn could see that Jim was not like what the rumors were claiming him to be.

She glanced at Jim with an insipid expression. “Mr. Rand, won't you go in and see Lexie?”

She did not know what Jim recalled. His eyes flashed coldly, and he said, “She probably doesn't want to see me now. It’s good as long as she’s fine.”

Lexie got her feelings hurt. As her suitor, Lexie might overthink and remember some upsetting things if she saw him.

He might as well stay with her outside quietly.

Jocelyn did not expect Jim to have such a cautious side. Her expression

    Lexie was so hurt, and it was not something that could be solved with an apology.Perhaps, this was not Davis' fault, but Davis was not entirely without fault.It was worth investigating whether he knew Lexie liked him and what kind of mentality he would use to face Lexie.The tragedy of Lexie's crush froze Jocelyn’s crush and stopped it.Jocelyn's phone rang twice in her pocket. It should be an Instagram message.Jocelyn figured it was from Davis, so she did not even look at it. Instead, she just put her hand in her pocket and pressed the power button. Mimi raised an eyebrow and pointed to the pocket where the phone was in. “Don't you want to look at it?”Jocelyn shook her head and looked at Mimi and Jim. “Mimi, you should go back first, if there is anything, I will contact you.” Mimi nodded. “Okay, no problem.”Jim frowned slightly.Jocelyn continued, “I'm going in to accompany Lexie. Do you want to come with me, Mr. Rand?”Jim shook his head. “I'm going to the rooftop t

    Skyler frowned fiercely, ignored Rhode's question, and started the car.He was worried about the situation on Jocelyn's side, so he was so anxious that he did not bother to talk nonsense with Rhode. Hence, she moved to the backseat.The car drove for a long time and Rhode kept looking at him secretly without saying a word.Skyler's patience ran out. “If you have nothing to say, get out of the car immediately!”Rhode hurriedly looked up at Skyler's profile and said in urgently, “I have something to say, Mr. Moore. I came here to apologize to you. I know you have your reasons for removing me as the ambassador. If I did something wrong, I would definitely hold myself accountable to the end.”Skyler snorted coldly. “So, you don't know why I removed you?”Rhode's face was blank. “I genuinely have no idea. I've been busy filming for the past few days. Yesterday, I suddenly received news that the ambassador had changed. So I thought I must have done something wrong, right?”Rhode looke

    As a result, as soon as he stepped into the hospital building, he received a call from Jim. “Skyler, come to the roof of the inpatient department, I have something to tell you.”Skyler frowned. “What do you want?”Jim's voice was not as unserious as it usually was. “It's about Jocelyn's safety.”Skyler's eyes darkened and his face became tense. “I'll go upstairs right now.”Inside the ward.Zayn had just left after examining Lexie when she woke up.Jocelyn hurriedly asked her, “How are you feeling? Are you feeling unwell?”Lexie was expressionless. “I’m fine.”“You just had a stomach bleed, so you can’t eat anything. It's almost noon, let me order some soup for you.”Lexie's tone was insipid. She sounded like a lifeless puppet. “You can decide.”Jocelyn sighed helplessly. She was afraid that Lexie would take a while to recover.Maybe in her heart, it was fine if Davis did not love her, but he could not doubt her.After all, they had known each other for so long, and Davis'

    Jocelyn's attitude made Skyler panic. He could not help pulling on his tie. “I know you have to take care of Lexie. I will come to the hospital to pick you up after I get off work in the afternoon.”Jocelyn shook her head. “No need, President Moore, I'm not going back at night. I plan to stay in the hospital bed because I don’t want to leave Lexie alone.”All she wanted to do recently was keep her distance from Skyler as much as possible so that their relationship would cool down.Skyler's brows twitched slightly, and he was holding his phone a little tighter.If it were not for Jocelyn's bad mood due to Lexie's accident today, he would have smashed his phone.Besides Jocelyn, who would dare to behave like that toward him?After all, Skyler was a blessed man of good fortune. He had never been given the cold shoulder and he was never treated so lukewarmly like he was nothing.He also started to get angry and replied coldly, “Whatever.”After Skyler finished speaking, he hung up

    Skyler's eyes darkened. “I’ll arrange for someone to investigate this. I won't let her have a chance to take action.”Jim breathed a sigh of relief, but he could not stop himself from complaining, “I'm a hard worker. I don't take a penny from you, and yet I have to worry about you like I’m your mother.”Skyler looked at Jim, and a smile flashed across his eyes. He felt slightly better after receiving the cold reception from Jocelyn.He thought of what Jocelyn said about accompanying Lexie at night. Then, he looked at Jim with a faint expression. “Aren't you going to take this opportunity to do something to show Lexie that you’ll be around?”Jim's expression suddenly became a little unnatural. “What do you mean by that? I am just taking care of a patient, okay?”Skyler curled his lips disapprovingly. “Really? Are you only going to take care of her during the daytime?”Jim finally sensed what was wrong with Skyler's words. He frowned and looked at Skyler. “Tell me, what are you thi

    After hearing Skyler's cold and slightly angry words, Jim's eyebrows twitched and he thought to himself, ‘This is bad.’Sure enough, Jocelyn raised her head sharply, and disbelief flashed in her eyes. She looked at Skyler indifferently, the corners of her mouth pursing tightly and she had an expression that looked as if she was going to fight Skyler head-on.Jim shook his head, not daring to watch what would happen.Jocelyn asked in a cold voice, “May I ask what your relationship with me is, President Moore?”Skyler was taken aback. He was silent for a moment before saying bluntly, “We’re husband and wife.”Jocelyn sneered. “Husband and wife who signed a one-year marriage agreement that appears united on the outside but be troubled underneath and cannot have any feelings toward each other?”Skyler's face was tense, and his expression was unpleasant. “Jocelyn, can’t we talk about this in private?”Did she have to tell these things in front of Lexie and Jim?Jocelyn glanced at Sk

    Jocelyn did not expect that Skyler would not be mad at her even when she spoke so indifferently.At this moment, she could not tell what she was feeling in her heart.She looked at Skyler and asked, “Why? You want to help me?”Skyler's expression was vague, and he parted his thin lips slightly. “As long as you ask for it.”Jocelyn made up her mind and shook her head. She said, “No need, I'll figure it out myself.”Skyler's hands instantly clenched into fists, and they were clenched tightly.He tried to control his emotions. His eyes darkened and he looked at Jocelyn without speaking.Jocelyn pressed her lips together. “That settles it. President Moore, you should go back to work, I'll go upstairs.”After Jocelyn said that, she left.As Skyler watched her leave without any reluctance, he stood there like a stone statue, motionless.He was too complacent. He thought that there would be no problems with this contracted marriage in just one year.Unexpectedly, in just two months, he lost t

    Chapter 301Lexie interrupted him, "Jim, I take you as a friend."There was a glint of disappointment in Jim's eyes. He then laughed and said, "What are you thinking about? I mean that ever since we stayed in the same hospital, I've taken you as a friend!"Jim teasingly looked at Lexie and curved his lips. "Did you think that I would say that I like you?"Some people preferred to say the sincerest words in a teasing tone, which made people unable to take their words seriously.Lexie pursed her lips without speaking.Jim cleared his throat and said with a smile, "I did not expect someone to be more thick-skinned than me. How can you, a young woman, be so narcissistic?"Lexie was annoyed. Her face turned cold. "Get out!"Jim pursed his lips. "Alright, I'm going to have my wound bandaged. I know you are worried. Do not try to hide it from me!"Lexie ignored him.When Jocelyn returned to the door of the ward, she saw Jim and Lexie chatting and smiling.Jim's finger was wrapped w

    Chapter 824Jocelyn knew Skyler wasn't always as kind as he was in her face, but she didn't mind!...Before they went to the island for a trip, Skyler went to Marcel's house after work.As soon as Skyler got into Marcel's house, he saw that Marcel had a grave face.Skyler's eyes were cold. "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. "Can I have a word with Miss Sonnet?"After a few moments of silence, Marcel nodde

"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.
