In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO novel Chapter 105

Skylar sat feebly on the small round stool and almost didn’t have the strength to open her eyes.

The doctor auscultated her lungs and examined her throat. Then, he prescribed a routine blood test for her.

Upon hearing the words “blood test”, Skylar grimaced and gave Tobias a look, asking for his help.

Skylar had experienced finger-prick blood tests before and it was even more painful than taking an injection. The minute the needle pricked into your flesh, it would be terribly excruciating.

Tobias patted Skylar’s shoulder. “Let’s go now. We still need to wait another thirty minutes for the blood test result later. If we dawdle some more, the sky would turn bright soon. Come on, be a good girl, alright?”

Listening to his coaxing in a deep and husky voice, especially the words “good girl”, Skylar could feel the ticklish sensation in her ears.

As though possessed, she nodded unwittingly.

Skylar’s phone was lying in the pocket of her pants and when she sat down for the blood test, it dug into her thigh, making her uncomfortable. So, she took it out and handed it over to Tobias.

Tobias took the phone and it was a peculiarly abrupt sight to see its pinkish casing in his palm.

Skylar closed her eyes as she was afraid to see the syringe needle. Her timid expression made Tobias chuckle softly.

This woman can be extremely bullheaded at times and yet she’s so skittish at this very second. It was unfathomable for him what was so scary about such a tiny affliction.

As the needle pricked into her finger, she cried out in anguish. It was so agonizing as though she had been ripped apart.

Tobias helped to press the cotton on her finger to stop the bleeding. Skylar was particularly weak at the moment and she had just been through a round of great “torture”.

She rested her head on Tobias’ shoulder.

While they waited for the blood test result, Skylar’s phone which was still in Tobias’ palm started ringing. A series of numbers without a name appeared on the screen.

Following that were a few text messages that popped up.

Skylar, what’s your relationship with that man? Don’t lie to me. I’m serious about our marriage.

Reply me, will you?

Did you change your mind because of money? Wasn’t the three hundred thousand I gave to you enough?
