As Gloria and Skylar hurried out of the elevator, Skylar accidentally bumped into Joe, who caught her in time.
Calvin, who was at the side, was shocked.
Who would've thought that after running into Skylar yesterday, his boss would see her again today? Wasn't it fate? Plus, it was a fate that was unstoppable.
He recalled Rosa questioning him last night. He had felt guilty because not only had the boss seen Skylar yesterday, but they had also kissed.
He'd witnessed it, but he couldn't tell Rosa without his boss' approval.
"Excuse me. We'll be leaving now," Gloria said, reluctant to leave Joe's side and wanting to say more. But she understood she had to be patient.
Knowing Joe's cautious personality, if she said too much, it might make him overthink, which wouldn't help with his recovery.
Skylar nodded to Joe, understanding that her priority now was to calm Gloria's emotions. Even if there were many things she wished to say to him, this wasn't the right moment.
As they left, Gloria couldn't help but glance back several times.
Once outside the hospital, she took Skylar's hand and said, "Now that I've seen Joe, I feel truly at ease. I still had some doubts previously, afraid that maybe it was just my wishful thinking for him to be still alive. But now, after seeing him, I'm sure—he is Joe."
Unable to contain her emotions, tears filled Gloria's eyes again after she finished her words.
Veronica quickly consoled her, saying, "Don't cry, Mrs. Martin Senior. The doctor specifically advised you to keep calm and avoid any strong mood swings."
Skylar added, "Yes, Grandma, please stay calm."
Gloria wiped her tears with a smile and nodded repeatedly. "Okay, don't worry about me. I'm fine, really. My emotions are stable."

The readers' comments on the novel: My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul
Is the author going to finally portray Skylark as a brave woman who can argue and communicate like a normal person in this real world? Hoping so.......
I don't like this story portraying Skylark's personality as too weak, too naive, Can't even defend herself Like accepting every humiliation from Vera's schemes and injustice without saying anything or doing anything. I wonder who is the protagonist in this novel, Vera or Skylark....
