After hanging up, Joe glanced at Skylar and commented, ” You’re the only one Grandma can see.”
He sounded a little jealous.
Skylar couldn’t help but gloat. “I’m cute and gorgeous. It’s
normal that Grandma adores me. Try harder. Perhaps you’ll be more important to Grandma one day.”
Joe choked back a laugh and said, “I detected no trace of humbleness there.”
“It’s nothing but the truth.” Skylar smiled as well.
Joe stood up. The angles from which they viewed each other changed drastically, and Skylar needed to look up at him.
Joe glanced down at her. It was as though black holes swirled within his eyes. She couldn’t see the depths of his gaze. He said, “Mr. Querbach told me that Grandma was very jealous of how others could hold their grandchildren during their reunion. Just now, she asked us to work hard. Skylar, why don’t we have a baby?”
Joe sounded as though it was another passing comment. Perhaps it was because the atmosphere between them had been excellent. They were like a married couple deeply in love, discussing their future.
Skylar was disoriented for a moment, but she recovered her
senses in the next second.
Joe…
She averted her eyes and changed the topic. She said, “I need to use the washroom.”
Joe watched Skylar make her escape. An icy glare flashed across Joe’s eyes. It was terrifying.

Skylar once more headed to the hospital on Sunday afternoon.
Aiken called her in the morning to tell her that Simona had been feeling down. She hadn’t spoken much. He was rather worried about Simona and asked whether Skylar had time to make a trip to the hospital. As to Joe, what happened last night had upset both parties. He’d left in the morning.
Before she entered the room, Aiken told her what had happened.
“Simona looked at her phone and saw many students talking about her and Wendy in their chat group. Some of them were really crude. She’s been in a horrible mood ever since.”
Aiken seemed to be exhausted and worried.
At this point, Skylar was the only person he could think of that could possibly help Simona. She was also the only person he’d
trust with Simona.
Skylar nodded and said, “Alright, got it. Don’t be too worried. It’s to be understood that she would be affected by those negative comments.”
“I’ve been a failure as her brother.” Aiken seldom exposed his
vulnerability before others. At this moment, he was nothing more than a lost brother.
Skylar couldn’t bear to see him like that. She consoled gently, ‘ It’s not your fault. Don’t stress about this too much or blame yourself.”
“Yeah.” Aiken forced a smile. Looking at Skylar deeply, he said, “Why don’t you go in? I’ll find somewhere to smoke.”
Skylar said nothing more. She entered the room.
Aiken left the hospital. He stood outside the entrance and called someone.
“Those men you were schooling… how is it going?”
