Chapter 590
Skylar’s heart raced. She said, “Steven, I have a few pressing matters. that need handling. Joe is rather busy as well. We don’t have time to visit Mom for now. Could you help me think of a reason to dissuade Mom from coming to see me?”
“Alright, I’ll come up with something. However, you can’t avoid this for long. How are you and Joe getting along?”
The undeniable truth was that Steven had gotten hurt by Annie. However, he’d overlooked something. He’d gotten hurt, but what about Skylar?
Would this affect her relationship with Joe?
Skylar’s eyes darted toward the door. Then, she hummed gently and said, “We’re getting along quite well. Don’t worry about us, Steven.
“Alright. I’ve broken things off with Annie entirely. She won’t be
causing any more trouble. This had nothing to do with anyone else. I was too trusting. Although occasional hints revealed her true colors, K consciously ignored them.
“Skylar, stick together with Joe, alright? We’ll go through all sorts of challenges throughout our lifetime. It’s impossible to live a life of perpetual peace.”
Skylar felt her heart skip a beat. Suddenly, she found an answer to the problem that had been gnawing at her. In the past, she’d been too paranoid.
“Yep, got it.”
After they ended their call, Skyar opened her Instagram. There were no important messages.
Natalie and Austin were filming. They had probably been busy.

Occasionally, they sent her a few pictures. Caleb had also sent her a few photos of his overseas trip.
Her lack of response didn’t faze them; they knew she was probably busy.
Skylar then looked at her Amazon store. Janine could handle them by
now.
She’d posted an announcement that she’d be busy and wasn’t accepting appraisal requests as a result.
Skylar was relieved after looking through all of that.
Just as she put her phone down, the door opened. Alexander and Harry walked in. Tears welled up in their eyes upon seeing her.
“You’re alright. That’s great. Skye, you’ve terrified us for the past few days. It’s such a relief that you’re alright,” said Alexander.
Harry added, “If anything happened to you, I would blame myself to death. I wouldn’t have the guts to even meet Viola.”
In the face of Alexander and Harry’s concern, Skylar said hurriedly,” I’m alright now. Stop worrying, you both. It’s my fault for not telling you before I fainted. I’m too young, and I wasn’t experienced enough. That’s why the artifact injured me.”
“You’re impossible. Why are you blaming yourself for this?” Harry didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
He could see why Viola had passed her skills on to Skylar. She deserved it for her exemplary character.
Alexander looked back at Joe, who’d followed them in. He asked, ” What did the doctors Bay? I’ll pay for all the expenses incurred by her hospital stay.”
“The doctor said she needs to be hospitalized for a few more days. Then, she’ll be fit for discharge,” Joe replied,

He would pay for his wife’s hospital stay. After all, Jipsburg Hospital belonged to the Martins.
Alexander was their elder. Joe wouldn’t allow him to shoulder the
costs.
“That’s great,” Harry said. He nodded in relief. Then, he turned to Alexander to complain, “I’ve already said that I’ll be paying for it. Why are you trying to take that from me? What, do you think that I’m penniless just because I live in Liberty County?”
Harry felt bad if he couldn’t do anything for her.
Although Skylar had woken up, she was still extremely pale.
Skylar watched as they fought with each other to take responsibility for her. Then, she switched the topic and said, “Mr. Solarius Senior, have you handled the figurine as I’ve instructed you to?”
“Yes, of course. I’ve put it away like you told me,” Harry said, nodding.
Skylar’s expression was somber. After a few moments of silence, she said, “Once I recover, I’ll draw a talisman for you. Stick it onto the figurine. Then, hand it to me. I’ll deal with it.”
She was still capable of handling it as it wasn’t an emerald statue. In addition, it was a tiny figurine that had been forgotten by Harry. If he’d admired and caressed it every day, she wouldn’t be able to reverse the damage done.
Harry would perish like Alexander’s friend. She would be powerless to help.
