Chapter 248
Despite what George said, he was inexplicably confident in Skylar. He thought she
should be able to handle it.
Since she was skilled enough that Viola had passed on all the skills and knowledge she had learned to her, Skylar had to be truly talented.
Gloria nodded seriously. “Skye is skilled enough. It’s normal if she can’t solve it. But
Viola left me a letter before. She stated that if Skye marries and any of us encounter
some evil things that others can’t solve, we should let Skye try to handle it.”
“Where is Viola now?” George sighed.
Gloria also sighed. “Viola will come back to see us after she settles her affairs.”
George nodded with tears in his eyes. “You’re right.”
On the way to Doherty Residence, Skylar was in deep thought.

Joe looked at her and said softly, “Don’t force yourself too much. Grandma is wary outsiders and trusts you more. If you can’t solve Mr. Doherty Senior’s problem, we’ll
find a professional for him.”
Skylar nodded distractedly. “Okay.”
Right then, a message popped up on her phone. She opened it and found that it was
Elliott’s message.
“Sorry, I had something to do in the afternoon and left early. I’ll treat you to a meal
next weekend.”
Skylar replied, “It’s okay. Don’t worry about it.”
Joe inadvertently glanced at it. His expression turned cold when he realized that someone was attempting to snatch his wife from him.
They arrived at Doherty Residence in about half an hour. As soon as they followed
him into the villa, they heard a child’s frightened cries.

The maids on the first floor weren’t surprised when they heard the crying and treated it as normal.
Frank felt so heartbroken that his eyes turned red. “Chad has been like this these days. It makes me uncomfortable.”
At his old age, the only thing he wished for was his family’s safety.
Joe’s heart sank. The situation appeared more serious than Frank had previously indicated.
He looked at Skylar. Although she looked serious, she didn’t flinch at all. Despite her
young age, she possessed great courage.
Skylar said to Frank, “Mr. Doherty Senior, let’s go upstairs and take a look.”
“Okay. Come on, follow me.” Frank immediately walked in front, leading the way for Skylar and Joe.
Joe had visited Doherty Residence several times before. This time, he strangely felt cold air penetrate his skin. He had no idea if it was an illusion.
Skylar removed a red bracelet from her wrist. There was a small coin on it. She then handed it to Joe and said, “Take it with you. It might be useful.”
She had already spotted the goosebumps on Joe’s skin.
He took the red bracelet and noticed the small coin was still warm from when Skylar had touched it. When he placed it in his palm, he didn’t sense the coldness of the
coin. Instead, he felt like the cold air was less intense now.
Joe smiled slightly and put the red bracelet on his wrist. Looking at it, he inexplicably
