Chapter 477 
Women were absolutely stunning in traditional dresses. Skylar had an excellent figure. She would definitely look gorgeous in them. 
Joe glared at him. 
Paul immediately shut up. He didn’t dare to continue guessing at 
Joe’s kinks. 
What did they say? One should never guess at their boss‘ 
preferences. It would only bring trouble and strife, regardless of 
whether one got them correct. 
An hour later, Skylar stood at the counter of the obstetrics hospital. 

She’d just finished paying the medical fee. 
She’d finished talking to Paul an hour ago and was about to start 
work. However, on the way out of the restroom, Skylar ran into her 
colleague, Raine Carpenter. She was curled into a ball on the floor 
with anguish written across her face. 
Barely two months had passed since Raine had gotten pregnant. 
Skylar immediately drove Raine to the hospital. 
On the way, Raine filled Skylar in. She’d only found out about her 
pregnancy two days ago. Her pregnancy hadn’t come easily. She’d 
only been blessed with success after years of trying. Raine was 
planning to finish the tasks at hand before applying for pregnancy leave.

She hadn’t expected that she’d have a stomachache today. In 
addition, it looked like she was about to start bleeding as well. 
Skylar didn’t dare to delay and drove to the hospital at full speed. 
Thankfully, she was sent to the hospital in time. Raine was 
hospitalized, and her family was contacted. They were making their 
way to the hospital. 
After paying, Skylar began heading upstairs to Raine’s ward. 
As she walked toward the elevator, she suddenly saw a familiar figure. 
Annabelle? 
They were at a private obstetrics hospital near their company. 
Annabelle’s presence meant that she was either pregnant or she was 
here with someone. 
Coincidentally, Annabelle was about to walk into the elevator. She 
was calling someone. 
“I’ve asked the doctor about it, and he said that he wouldn’t 
recommend a uterine tissue removal surgery for my condition. I have 
no choice but to deliver this child. If not… I’ll never be able to have 
children.” 
A pitiful woman would always inspire compassion in others. 
Many people turned to look at her. 
They seemed to be speculating on what kind of man could make a woman like her have his child willingly. In addition, it looked like he 
didn’t want her to give birth to it.

Skylar also needed to take the elevator. 
“I… I’ll talk to you about this when I get home, alright? As to the 
specifics, you can read the medical reports once they’re ready,” Anabelle said pitifully. 
Skylar raised an eyebrow.. 
She had walked too slowly and failed to get into the elevator. 
As the doors closed, she seemed to hear Annabelle say, “Mr. Hughes.” 
Skylar found this seductive voice familiar. She’d heard this voice saying that back in the hot spring resort. Skylar’s gaze darkened. 
Recently, Jasmine had seemed to be glowing. Her relationship with Jeremy was flourishing. However, Skylar had a bad feeling about it. 
Was Jeremy the “Mr. Hughes” that Anabelle kept mentioning? 
Many members of the Hughes family held important positions in the company. Perhaps she wasn’t referring to Jeremy. However, 
Annabelle was Jeremy’s secretary. 
Skylar arrived at Raine’s ward, lost in thought. 
When Raine saw Skylar, she began thanking her. “Skylar, thank you so much! If you hadn’t found me in the restroom and driven me to the hospital, I would’ve lost my child. 
“Now, you’re even helping me pay the medical bills, and handling the documents needed for my hospitalization. Thank you so much! How much have you paid? I’ll transfer the money to you.”
