Chapter 54
Skyler sighed helplessly. It was really like accompanying a tiger!
At the end of work that afternoon, Violet went downstairs with Skyler.NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
When they arrived at the parking lot, they saw Patrick’s car driving up and parking directly next to Skyler’s car. Patrick lowered the window. “Violet, get in the car. I'll take you hospital!”
Violet was startled and then remembered that at noon, Patrick had said that he would send her over in the afternoon. Violet quickly shook her head. “Mr. Hersey, there’s no need. Mr. Brown is going to see Megan and will give me a ride!” Patrick frowned. “I said | would give you a ride this morning!”
He didn’t like a sudden change to happen to plans that had already been made.
16:52 Mon,
Violet insisted on declining, saying, “Mr. Hersey, that’s not necessary. Skyler is my senior classmate. He doesn’t know where Megan is hospitalized, and | promised Megan to bring him over!”
Without a shadow of a doubt, Patrick had been rejected, and his
frosted over.
How could he not know that if Violet wanted to take his car, she would tel Skyler where the hospital was and the ward number? At the end of the day, she just didn’t want to ride in his car.
When Patrick had given Violet the warning from before, he didn’t take into consideration this situation.
He didn’t want Violet to form any romantic attachments to him, nor did he want her to avoid him like she was hiding from a dangerous wild beast. This upset Patrick greatly.
He glanced at Violet coldly and snorted, saying, “Whatever!”
After speaking, he raised the car window, and the vehicle sped off.
Violet breathed in the fumes from the car exhaust twice and choked uncomfortably as she coughed twice.
Skyler glanced at Violet. “You rejected Mr. Hersey so bluntly. He’ll be angry!”
Violet shook her head as she sat down in Skyler’s passenger seat. “You're reading too much into it. What I’m doing is exactly in line with his
wishes!”
Violet didn’t say anything else. Patrick most likely did this to test her.
If she got into his car, she would inevitably be scolded again. She wasn't so thick-skinned.
When Violet and Skyler arrived at the hospital, Patrick had just gotten out
of the car.
He saw Violet and Skyler, ignored them, and walked toward the inpatient department.
Skyler was a little surprised. “Mr. Hersey was also coming to the hospital?”
He thought that Patrick was going out of his way to offer to drive V the hospital.
Violet nodded. “His friend is also hospitalized, right next door to Megan
Skyler had a flash of understanding.
The two of them went upstairs, and they pushed open the door of the ward and went in.
Megan had a laptop in front of her, her fingers banging against the keyboard one-handedly. When Violet saw this, she raised an eyebrow.
Even now, she hadn't forgotten about work.
It was tough to work on the laptop with one hand. Megan didn’t notice. anything strange and heard Violet cough lightly twice. Megan jerked her head up, and the familiar person caught her attention.
She was so shocked she immediately jumped up from the bed.
Skyler was stunned, frozen by her sudden leap up from the bed.
But that wasn't all.
Megan got up too violently. The laptop shot straight up from the covers, and Megan gasped in pain from the jolt in her arm. She could only watch as the laptop crashed, and she didn’t even think twice when she shouted, “My son!”
Violet's attractive-looking face twitched twice. She guessed Megan would go on a crazy rampage after she realized what a blunder she had committed in front of her love interest.
Asmile flashed in Skyler’s eyes, and he glanced at Violet. “Is her son the laptop?”
16.52 Mon, Jan 15
Violet couldn't help giggling. “Yes, it is. I’m used to it!”
Skyler laughed and quipped, “I didn’t know she had this habit!”
Megan blushed and was annoyed. She glared at Violet. Why didn’t she give her a heads-up that Skyler was coming over? Now, she had completely embarrassed herself.
Like a wilted eggplant, Megan sat down sullenly and couldn't help but glance at Skyler secretly.
Violet walked over, helped her pick up the laptop, and said with a smile, “Don’t take sneak peeks. Skyler is here to see you!” Megan's face turned even redder, and glared at Violet. “Don’t talk
nonsense!”
Skyler wasn’t bothered as he walked over, sat on the edge of the hospital bed, and looked at Megan with a smile. “How did you break your bone?”
Megan blushed and said, “I wasn’t paying attention when | was going down the stairs, so | fell!”
Violet smiled and looked at her, not debunking her lie.
Skyler nodded. “You must be careful when you go down the stairs in the
future!”
Violet put the laptop aside, and Megan’s gaze flickered to it occasionally.
Skyler had known Megan for six years. Except for the three years apart, he always had a good relationship with Violet and Megan from his sophomore to senior year.
He was familiar with Megan’s habits. He chuckled and said, “Violet, bring her son out and let her see him. Otherwise, she’d be worried sick!”
Megan's petite face suddenly turned red, and her voice sounded shy and annoyed as she exclaimed, “Skyler!”
Skyler chuckled. “Isn’t that true? Then maybe | heard it wrong!”

Megan turned unbelievably red, so Violet helped her out. “Skyler, don’t tease her. She acts indifferent but doesn’t take well to being teased!”
Skyler nodded. “That's true! | remember everyone else saying she was aloof, but I didn’t think so back then. When | would say something, her face would turn red. | would have misunderstood if | didn’t know she
didn’t like me!”
Megan jerked up and glanced at him.
Skyler smiled. “What's wrong?”
Megan immediately shook her head. “It’s nothing!”
Violet's expression was a little complicated. Skyler knew where to poke Megan’s heart to make it hurt the most.
