With that, Skylar stormed out of the bathroom, visibly upset. Just as she was leaving, she turned back and angrily shouted at Joe, “Men are real assholes once they’re off the bed!”
Joe was somewhat taken aback by Skylar’s outburst. He hadn’t seen her so angry, let alone cursing.
However, he wasn’t mad. He felt that Skylar was becoming more comfortable expressing her true emotions in front of him.
This was the real her. And her authenticity made him want to pull her back to bed and hold her close.
After having breakfast at the hotel, Skylar decided to accompany Joe to the hospital to visit Jenny. They got into the car without looking around or paying attention to anything else.
Meanwhile, a disheveled and stubbly Christopher watched them leave the hotel together. Their interactions looked intimate.
“Skylar, you rejected me because of him? When did you become so shallow? What kind of person is Joe? He’d never lacked women around him; he’s just playing with you.” Christopher’s eyes were filled with fury.
He knew too well the hold Joe had over women. Ordinary people like them would seem insignificant in
Joe’s presence.
Christopher had been ensnared by Maisy because she was wealthy. She was the type of woman he
couldn’t normally get close to. Hence, it had been easy for him to lose his rationality over her.
He knew exactly what it was like to walk this path. Although it pained him to see Skylar going down the same road, he was determined to help her leave it behind.
That’s right. He would find a chance to take Skylar away.
This hotel would cost an arm and a leg. With limited funds, Christopher couldn’t afford to stay there. He had stayed in a small guesthouse the night before and planned to continue his stay there today.
He wanted to wait for the right opportunity to take Skylar away.
Hospitals always had the distinct smell of disinfectant. Skylar didn’t go into the intensive care unit. Instead, she stood by the window and observed the situation inside.
Joe changed into sterilized clothing and entered the room. Whatever he said to Jenny seemed to make her very happy.
Jenny had just finished her surgery and was still under close observation. But it seemed that she had. endless things to say, and they talked for a long time.
When the visiting time ended, Jenny reluctantly let Joe go. He comforted her before walking out of the intensive care unit. Jenny turned her head to look at Skylar.
Seeing Skylar’s stunning beauty, Jenny’s smile stiffened slightly. But she quickly and politely nodded at

Skylar. Skylar responded with a smile.
Joe then walked over to Skylar’s side, putting his arm around her. “Let’s go.”
“What about here?” Skylar asked.
“Leave it to Paul,” Christopher replied.
“Okay.”
Jenny watched as the couple embraced each other. She felt a pang in her chest.
Was it due to the aftereffects of her surgery? Or was it due to the realization that Joe genuinely liked Skylar? Regardless, her heart felt undeniably uncomfortable.
After leaving the hospital, Joe took Skylar on a boat to an island near Korel City. The island’s entertainment facilities and hotels were all properties of Martin Group.
“Do you like diving?” Joe asked.
