Skylar held Gloria's hand. It was cold, almost devoid of warmth.
"Grandma, please let me stay here. I just want to be with you," she said, playfully acting spoiled.
Whenever Skylar acted like this, Gloria couldn't resist her. Even if it meant taking medicine she didn't like, she would comply.
Gloria, understanding Skylar's intent, felt her eyes sting. So, she nodded helplessly and said, "Alright, alright. I will let you stay."
Originally, Gloria had hoped to recover some strength before allowing them to return. She didn't want to worry them. But now, it seemed they had found out about her condition.
Her body was failing her. She had thought that after a few days of rest, she'd be back to her old self. But now, even sitting up was a challenge.
After living together for over three years, Skylar probably understood her physical condition better than she herself did.
Edgar, witnessing the scene, turned away to wipe his tears. He had been hoping for Joe and Skylar to return as he knew Gloria's time was limited, and she needed her family's presence.
But Gloria didn't want to burden them. She had insisted on waiting and had even prioritized Skylar's health.
Gloria always thought of everyone else but never herself.
It broke Edgar's heart. He could only hope that in her final days, Gloria would be in less pain.
Ten minutes later, Gloria was exhausted and fell asleep again.
Skylar and Edgar quietly left the room.

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....
