Joe walked straight to Skylar’s bed.
Both Alexander and Harry knew him. They asked simultaneously, “Joe?”
Joe scrutinized Skylar. He’d never seen her so pale before. Her breathing was weak, as though…
Joe said to Howard, “Come over and take a look.”
Howard nodded and walked over somberly.
Joe took a step back. He then looked at Alexander and Harry. He greeted them, “Mr. Gardner Senior, Mr. Solarius Senior.”
Alexander said remorsefully, “I didn’t protect Skylar properly. That’s why she’s landed in this position.”
“It’s not Alexander’s fault. It’s mine. I was the cause of this,” Harry said hurriedly.
It wouldn’t be a smart move to blame others now.
In addition, Skylar had made the decision to come to Liberty County herself. Joe knew that Skylar wouldn’t blame it on them. They hated for this to happen as well,
Joe replied, “You don’t have to blame yourself. We should focus on ensuring Skylar wakes up soon.”
She’d fallen unconscious for no obvious reason. This was the largest hit to her health she’d suffered. It was much worse than anything she’d ever experienced.
Joe stared at Skylar, who lay in bed, unconscious. He said to himself, “She’ll be fine. I won’t let anything happen to her.”
Howard examined Skylar. Then, he looked at her medical history as well as a list of reports. His expression turned serious as he read.
Silence reigned in the ward. Everyone in the room looked at Howard.
Paul did not step forward. He merely looked in from outside. He could see Skylar from where he was standing.
Paul’s heart sank when he saw Skylar’s pale face. It was worse than he’d imagined!
How could those evil artifacts be so powerful? It had harmed her before they’d even had time to react!

After a moment, Howard said to Joe, “Mr. Martin, let’s talk about this outside.”
Joe’s gaze hardened. He replied, “Alright.”
Alexander and Harry traded glances. They had a guess as to what was going on. Skylar wasn’t doing well.
In the corridor, Howard said lowly, “Mr. Martin, Skylar isn’t in good condition. Although nothing seems wrong with her, her body temperature is highly abnormal. No medical inteference can be done. Right now, she might as well be in a vegetative
state.”
Joe clenched his jaw. Then, he said, “Find a way to save her, no matter what that might be. Can I bring her back to Jipsburg?”
Once they returned to Jipsburg, he would do anything to save her.
Howard nodded and answered, “You can. However, you must be mentally prepared for what might happen on the way back. I’ve never encountered a patient like her.”
In the past, he’d never believed in black magic. Now, he found that his understanding of the topic was too superficial.
His medical expertise, which he took pride in, couldn’t explain Skylar’s condition. Howard couldn’t find the source of Skylar’s unconsciousness either. He felt helpless.
Joe remained silent as he stood in the corridor. Those few minutes seemed like a year to him.
Paul waited for Joe’s next instructions.
“Paul, get things ready. We’re taking Mrs. Martin back to Jipsburg,” Joe looked up and ordered.
“Alright! I’ll make the necessary preparations immediately,” replied Paul.
Then, Joe walked back into the ward. He sat by Skylar’s bed and watched her. She looked lifeless. A few minutes later, he looked at Alexander and Harry and said, “I’m taking her back to Jipsburg. Once she wakes up, she can return and settle what she hasn’t finished.”
Upon hearing Joe’s calm reassurance, Alexander and Harry calmed down after hours of panic.
Skylar would be fine. Joe wouldn’t let anything happen to her. Miracles could happen once they returned to Jipsburg.
