Chapter 329
Joe’s tone softened involuntarily. “Go ahead and eat first.”
“Okay.”
Skylar settled onto the hospital bed while eyeing the chicken soup hungrily. “Let’s eat together.”
Pau brought coffee and a sandwich for Joe since he had already eaten breakfast at the hotel. The ward was quiet, with only the faint sound of Skylar and Joe eating.
Ten minutes passed, and Skylar had already finished the entire bowl of chicken soup.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Thinking it was the doctor, Skylar was taken aback when a woman in a hospital gown appeared.
The woman looked around her age. But she was a bit slender, with the hospital gown hanging loosely on her. She had a pretty and endearing look, with pure, sparkling eyes that immediately evoked sympathy.
The woman seemed like a pure and lovely person.
“Ms. Scott!” Paul exclaimed, clearly surprised to see Jenny Scott.
He glanced at Joe, who seemed unfazed, almost as if he had expected Jenny Scott’s arrival..
“Are you guys having breakfast? I hope I’m not interrupting,” Jenny asked cautiously.
Joe replied calmly, “Not at all.”
Skylar glanced at Joe, then at Jenny standing at the door.
Suddenly, a gut feeling told her that Jenny might be Joe’s type. She remembered hearing a gentle voice on the phone–it had probably beenJenny.
“I’m Jenny Scott, Joe’s godsister. Joe mentioned you to me before. And now that you two are married, can I call you Skye?” Jenny smiled warmly as she addressed Skylar.
Skylar smiled and nodded, “Of course.”
Godsister? She hadn’t heard Joe mention Jenny before.
“Skye, you’re the most gorgeous woman I’ve seen among all the women’I’ve met!” Jenny gazed at Skylar’s
face, somewhat mesmerized.
Skylar’s beauty was striking. Her looks were absolutely stunning yet intimidating, which could easily make
others feel inferior.
Jenny pursed her lips.
Skylar often received compliments on her looks, but hearing one from another beauty made her smile even wider. “You’re really pretty too,” she replied.
Jenny’s eyes crinkled with a smile. “Thank you. I heard from Joe yesterday that you had gastroenteritis

and a fever. How are you feeling now?”
“I feel much better now. No symptoms at the moment,” Skylar replied with a smile.
“That’s good to hear. Just take it easy.” Jenny then glanced at Joe and noticed the slight redness in his eyes. Concerned, she asked, “Did you not sleep last night, Joe? Your eyes look red. Do you need to rest now?”
Joe’s gaze softened. “I slept a few hours. It’s not a big deal.”
Skylar watched their interaction, and it seemed like they were siblings, but not quite. She’d never seen
Joe so gentle with other women before.
Previously, Annie had claimed to have known Joe for many years, which should have made them familiar, but Joe had always been distant and cold toward her.
It was clear that Joe didn’t hold much regard for anyone and wasn’t particularly enthusiastic about
matters of love and romance.
Yet with Jenny, he appeared relaxed and gentle.
Skylar took a sip of water from her cup. She convinced herself that Joe’s private life was none of her concern, and she shouldn’t let unnecessary curiosity get the better of her.
“I have
mask in my room for relaxation. I’ll go get it for you. Joe, you really need to pay more. a great eye attention to your insomnia issues,” Jenny said seriously with a frown.
