Chapter 593
Skylar was hospitalized for three more days. Then, she was discharged, looking fit as a fiddle.
Alexander prohibited her from going to work. He gave her a few more days off.
In the following days, Skylar dealt with the phoenix figurine. She also. called Janine to reassure her. Then, she found an excuse to dispel. Janine’s intentions of visiting her.
She only returned to Galaxy Villa at night. The next day, Joe headed to work early in the morning.
Skylar hadn’t seen Gloria in a while and was planning to visit. Just as she was about to head out after tidying up, Joe returned home.
“Haven’t you gone to work?” Skylar asked in surprise.
Joe noticed that Skylar had changed into going–out clothes. He raised an eyebrow and asked, “Are you going out?”
“I haven’t visited Grandma Gloria at Pearlhall Residence in a while. I’m planning to pay her a visit,” Skylar informed Joe as she put on her
shoes.
“I’ll go with you,” suggested Joe.
Skylar had no idea what he was trying to do. She asked, “Aren’t you going to work?”
He hadn’t gone to work in a week, yet he came back after an hour. This was a stark contrast to his work–addicted self.
“There’s nothing I need to attend to at work,” Joe said calmly.
Skylar didn’t ask any further questions.
Lucas drove them there.
Initially, Skylar wanted to take a cab to the repair shop to collect her car, which had been ready for collection for days. However, she’d
been too busy to go, and it looked like she could only go there
tomorrow.
It was silent in the car. The two of them had no idea what to say. The atmosphere in the car seemed off.
They hadn’t spoken much while Skylar was in the hospital. They had no idea what to say, even if they wanted to.
A sharp trill broke through the silence.
Joe accepted the call.
Jenny’s voice rang out, “Joe, guess where I am now!”
It was evident that Jenny was in a great mood.
Skylar suddenly felt like it was time to ask Lucas to play some music. The car was overly silent. Although Joe hadn’t put the call on speaker, she could hear what Jenny was saying.
Although she’d asked him to guess, the answer was evident.
She would be in the airport if Skylar hadn’t guessed wrongly.
Joe asked emotionlessly, “Where are you?”
Jenny had asked him to guess. How could he ask for the answer outright?
Joe looked at Skylar. Suddenly, he grabbed her hand and pressed it under his palm, gently massaging it. Their intertwined fingers made Skylar feel restless.
Jenny hadn’t expected Joe’s impatience to drive him to ask
immediately. After a moment of silence, she said unhappily, “I’ve

Skylar’s hand stiffened.
Joe was going to pick Jenny up, wasn’t he?
Joe glanced at her hands and said, “I’m busy. I’ll get Rowan to pick you up.”
“You’re busy?”
“Yes.”
The call ended abruptly.
Joe gazed deeply at Skylar and asked, “Why’s your hand still so cold?” It was merely a minute improvement.
