Fell Into His Love Trap (Skylar and Tobias) novel Chapter 715

Skylar jolted awake from her dreams and switched on the bedside lamp. The first rays of dawn were slowly filtering into the room, yet Tobias was nowhere to be found, and her WhatsApp showed no unread messages.

Feeling parched, Skylar slipped on her slippers and made her way downstairs in search of water, as the jug in her room had run dry. From the second-floor landing, she could see that the light on the first floor was still illuminated. Tobias, dressed in a crisp white shirt, leaned against the couch. Several buttons were undone, revealing a blood-stained collar.

She pinched her thighs firmly, the sharp pain confirming that this was not a figment of her imagination.

Regaining her composure, Skylar hastened down the stairs. Tobias glanced up upon hearing the commotion. “Did I wake you?”

From her vantage point on the staircase, she noticed a large gash on Tobias' arm. A medical kit lay on the coffee table, and he held a bandage in his other hand, attempting to dress the wound himself.

Skylar seized the iodine solution and asked, “What happened to you? Did you get into a fight? How did you end up with such a nasty cut on your arm? You're too old to be throwing punches like those youngsters.”

Tobias closed his eyes and replied wearily, “So, should I just stand there and let them beat me up because I'm older? I have to defend myself.”

Skylar's head throbbed as his words sank in.

She couldn't fathom who would have the audacity to lay a hand on him. After all, he was not someone to be trifled with.

Skylar delicately tended to Tobias' wounds, gently applying the cotton soaked in iodine solution. Despite the obvious pain, Tobias maintained a stoic composure, displaying an impressive threshold for pain.

It made Skylar wonder if he could endure the most intense levels of simulated labor pain with such unwavering resilience.
