been a success.
However, Jenny was feeling downcast today for some reason. It was affecting her recovery after the
surgery.
“Usually, this happens when something is weighing on the patient’s mind. So, we need you to talk to her,
Mr. Martin.”
Joe then went to the intensive care unit.
Initially, Jenny was sleeping. Probably sensing someone approaching, she opened her eyes. The moment
she saw him, she thought she was dreaming. “Joe.”
Was it really him? She thought he only had eyes for Skylar and wasn’t concerned about her. Her eyes
reddened, and aggrievement filled her heart,
Joe furrowed his brows silently when he saw her reddened eyes. “The doctor told me about your condition. Is something making you unhappy?”
Jenny bit her lip and felt even more aggrieved. Her eyes reddened further. Still, she knew there were some
things that she should keep to herself.
She merely shook her head. “I’m just afraid that I won’t recover and will be a burden to you. Besides, I’m graduating soon. I’m worried it’ll be affected.”
Joe consoled her. “You don’t have to worry about all those things. Your surgery was a success. Also, your college contacted me. Don’t worry, this won’t affect your graduation.”
Jenny couldn’t help but weep. “Thanks, Joe.”
“Focus on your recovery. You’ll be discharged in no time.”
Jenny recalled the affection Joe had shown Skylar that morning and felt her chest tighten. She requested
softly, “Can you keep me company, Joe?”
“Sure. I’ll stay with you until visiting hours end,” Joe agreed.
Upon getting what she wished for, the uneasiness Jenny felt dissipated. She must be irreplaceable to him.
He would agree as long as she requested his company.
“Are you going back to Jipsburg soon?” asked Jenny.
He’d put aside his heavy workload just to accompany her through her surgery. Others could only wish for that to happen. Every second of his time was precious.
At that thought, Jenny smiled sweetly.
Joe nodded. “I’m going back two days later. Paul will handle everything else for you. Call him if anything’s
up.

He’d just asked Paul to book a flight back to Jipsburg City for himself and Skylar.
On the boat ride, Skylar had said she was going back after two days. He’d thought about it and realized he could go back with her.
Upon hearing that, Jenny pursed her lips. “Okay, I will look after myself. After I graduate, I’ll head back to Jipsburg. You won’t have to keep coming to Korel City, then. I can also take care of Grandma when I’m
back.”
At the mention of Gloria, Joe’s gaze softened: “Alright. Take good care of yourself.”
Jenny noticed he appeared more refreshed today compared to yesterday. Smiling, she said, “It looks like you eyes aren’t bloodshot
anymore.
had a good rest, as I told you to. You seem to be in better condition today. Your “, “It looks like
Joe was stunned. After the intimacy he and Skylar had shared in bed last night, he remembered sleeping through the night with Skylar in his arms. That had felt extremely refreshing.
He knew he was sleeping better because he hugged Skylar while sleeping.
“Indeed, I slept earlier last night and had a restful night.” As he remembered what it felt like to hug Skylar, his heart grew tender. Even his usually cold features seemed to glow gently.
Jenny thought it was because of her that
Could sleep well. “You should go to bed early after this.
Health matters more than anything else. If you stay up at night every day, your body won’t be able to keep
up.”
