Fell Into His Love Trap (Skylar and Tobias) novel Chapter 212

Tobias’ expression grew cold. “I don’t trust anyone, Susan. You should know that by now.”

Susan felt disappointed. I’ve been working with him for over ten years, and he still doubts me…

“What took you so long? I was starving!” Miranda complained before Skylar even set the food down on the table.

“There was a long queue in the cafeteria,” she replied.

True enough, it didn’t take long before Miranda had finished all of her food.

“I’m so happy to have you here with me, Skylar. I know I’ve wronged you in the past, so I’m really glad that you’ve forgiven me.”

Skylar remembered what Meredith said on her deathbed. Grandma was so worried about Mom that she insisted I take care of her once she got released from prison. She also told me not to hate Mom as she had suffered a lot in life. You really overestimate my capabilities, Grandma… There’s no way I would’ve been able to afford Mom’s medical bills without Tobias’ help!

Skylar simply kept quiet and whipped out her B2 French textbook. The exam was coming soon, and she was prepared to give up on university if she couldn’t pass it.

The evening sun cast an orange glow in the ward, and the warm, gentle breeze blowing through the open windows provided some relief from the strong smell of disinfectant.

Just like that, Skylar read her textbook in silence while Miranda carried on knitting the sweater. It was such a serene moment, one that Skylar had never thought she would someday live to experience.

“Where do you get your money for the hospital bills?” Miranda tried to start a conversation, but Skylar ignored her question.

After failing to get a response from her a second time, Miranda tried asking the nurse for an answer instead.
