Alexander spoke in a hurried tone. When the call went through, he said immediately,” Come over as soon as possible. Something has happened to Skylar. I’m sorry. I couldn’t protect her. Come quickly. We’re in Liberty Hospital. Take Dr. Grey with you!”
Joe gripped his phone tightly, a serious expression on his face. He hung up immediately and called Paul over. At the same time, he asked Howard to set off for the highway.
Paul was extremely on edge on the way there. He looked at Joe, whose facial muscles were pulled taut. Then, he reported, “Liberty Hospital has sent news that Mrs. Martin is still unconscious. They can’t tell what’s wrong as their skills are limited. Considering her current condition, they’re nervous to transfer her to another hospital.”
No one had expected this to happen, and they were unprepared to deal with it. Alexander was still feeling guilty about it.
After multiple calls, Paul said, “Dr. Grey has entered the highway before us. He’s heading there already.”
Joe hummed in acknowledgment. He glanced at Lucas and questioned coldly, “Why are you driving so slowly?”
Lucas immediately stepped on the gas. The car was going so fast it seemed to be flying.
Paul observed Joe out of the corner of her eye. Joe’s concern meant that he had fallen for Skylar. However, he wouldn’t admit it.
That said, this wasn’t the time to think about such matters. Skylar was a kind person who had gone there to help. She had to be alright.
If Gloria found out, she wouldn’t be able to bear it.
At the same time, many specialists from different departments in Liberty Hospital had gathered around Skylar. Even the traditional medical practitioners in Liberty County had been invited. However, other than noting Skylar’s weak health condition, they saw no other issue.
Yet, Skylar’s face was ashen. No matter who called her, her expression–didn’t change. It was as though she’d fallen asleep.
Harry had sunk into self–blame. He lamented, “I’ve gotten Skylar into this. Look for people who might be able to help her. Wasn’t there a divination master in Liberty

County? Ask him to come here!”

Harry’s attendants immediately left the hospital room. They began making calls.
Alexander stared at Skylar with tears in his eyes. He said, “Skye is extremely kind. I merely asked her whether she’d be willing to come and take a look. She agreed without a second thought.
“Although she knew that it might be dangerous and it might harm her, she did not hesitate even once. I might not have been as fearless as her even in the height of my youth. Viola has raised her well!”
Only… If something happened to Skylar, he would be too embarrassed to meet Viola even if she returned. Alexander wouldn’t be able to give Gloria an explanation either! Alexander and Harry were panicking. Before Joe arrived, they tried all the methods they could come up with, and so did the medical personnel in the hospital. Yet, Skylar’s face seemed to pale even further, and her temperature dropped.
It was as though…
No one dared to vocalize their thoughts.
Harry reproached himself, “It’s all my fault. Why did I accept it? I remained cautious of others when I was young. Why do I believe in others the older I get? I’ve harmed Skylar. I don’t care about anything except the children
my old age.”
Alexander noticed that Harry had paled as well. He seemed exhausted and wrapped up in self–blame. Alexander sighed and consoled, “Don’t blame yourself for this. It’ll only damage your health. I believe Skylar will be fine. She’s kind and lucky.”
Harry exhaled harshly and replied, “How could I not blame myself? Skylar told us what to do until the last second before she fainted. She was terrified that we’d get hurt. Only then did I understand why misfortune had befallen my family. I have to find the man who hurt me!”
“Two years have passed. He must’ve gotten close to you with ulterior motives. He must’ve gone into hiding by now. You won’t be able to find him easily.”
Who was this fiend lurking in the darkness?
Right then, a dark figure swooped in. The wind rustled behind him.
