Joe was still worried about Skylar.
Joe got into bed and wrapped his arms around Skylar. She could hear his heartbeat.
The strong rhythm of his heart brought a sense of comfort to her. "In five years, we will have another child," Joe said softly.
Skylar felt a flutter in her heart. "Okay, let's look forward to that. Is there anything I can help you with on your end?"
Joe had been busy these past few days, leaving early and returning late. Even Paul posted on Instagram, commenting on how intense and demanding his life had been recently.
Everything Joe faced was a challenge, but none seemed insurmountable for him.
It made sense. For Paul, who had endured three years of a hellish life, and for Joe, who had started from scratch over the past three years, the difficulties they faced now were far from daunting.
"I can handle everything. For now, you need to stay home and focus on recovering. I'll take care of the rest," Joe said, gently ruffling Skylar's hair.
Her hair was always so soft and smooth.
Being with her made everything chaotic seem peaceful. It made him want to protect her even more.
Sometimes, he felt guilty, believing he had wasted too much time during those three years, which had left Martin Group in its current state and cost him the three years that should have been spent with her.
Joe's gaze turned deeper as he got lost in his thoughts.
…
Janine hadn't known about Skylar's ectopic pregnancy until she noticed Skylar's pale complexion during their video call. Concerned, she asked about it.
When Janine learned it was an ectopic pregnancy, she couldn't sit still. "I'm coming to see you. You just had surgery, so make sure you take care of yourself. Rest as if you're in confinement."
"Grandma sent Veronica to take care of me, so don't worry, Mom," Skylar quickly replied, wanting to reassure Janine.

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....
