Chapter 305
At that moment, Maisy’s phone rang again.
“Maisy, where are you?” Kenny’s voice was urgent.
Maisy pushed aside her troubled feelings and replied softly, “Kenny, I’m out shopping. Is something wrong?”
“Mom wasn’t feeling well today and went to the hospital. She got into a car accident
right after leaving! Come quickly,” Kenny exclaimed hurriedly.
Maisy’s face went pale. “A car accident? I… I’m on my way right now!”
After the Sullivan family gathering wrapped up, Skylar returned to Galaxy Villa.
The sprawling villa felt strangely empty with no one else around. Skylar wondered
how long it would be until Joe got back.
She grabbed a yogurt from the fridge and finished it just as another message from
Joe came.
“Would you want to visit Korel City?” Joe asked.
It suddenly dawned on Skylar that Korel City was a tourist hotspot she had] never
visited. She had never traveled before, let alone to Korel City, which was just a few
hours away by plane from Jipsburg.
Many of her friends had shared breathtaking photos of its scenic beauty on social media, and Skylar couldn’t help but be captivated each time she saw those pictures.
The allure of those landscapes was intoxicating, like a cleansing balm for her soul.
Skylar was truly tempted by Joe’s invitation.
Also, Alexander had mentioned that she could take a well–deserved break once.
Skylar finished Frank’s painting.
“Will my visit disturb your work?” Skylar asked.

Joe promptly replied, “No, this trip to Korel City Isn’t work–related. It’s personal. I’ll have Paul book your ticket. Today’s flights are full, but I’ll arrange one for tomorrow morning.”
“Great, thank you.”
With her travel plans settled, Skylar informed Alexander before heading upstairs to pack her luggage. After checking Korel City’s weather, she decided to pack a few dresses.
While humming a tune, Skylar folded her clothes. She even made sure she included a mosquito repellent.
As she packed, her phone kept ringing. She had accidentally silenced it earlier and
now noticed over a dozen missed calls from unknown numbers.
Worried it might be colleagues from work, Skylar immediately returned the calls.
“What were you doing? Why didn’t you pick up my calls? Come to the hospital now! Your mom got into a car accident just now.
“She’s in critical condition, and she’s still undergoing surgery. Regardless of what happened before, you’re still our biological daughter. You need to come right away!” Jeffrey’s voice was urgent and frustrated.
A car accident?
Skylar’s mind raced. Memories of her previous life’s accident flashed before her–the truck approaching, Sadie in danger, and her instinct to protect Sadie.
In that instant, she had pushed Sadie out of the truck’s path, resulting in her own.
paralysis.
The days of helplessness and mistreatment in the hospital played in Skylar’s mind like scenes from a tragic movie.
