Chapter 249
When they reached the door to Chad Doherty’s room, Skylar abruptly changed her mind. “Let’s go see Mrs. Doherty Senior first.”
Frank was stunned for a moment before he responded, “Okay.”
They then moved in another direction. As they were about to enter the room, a maid came out and greeted Frank respectfully.
“I just followed the doctor’s instructions and gave Mrs. Doherty Senior medicine, but
she’s still uncomfortable. She keeps saying she has a headache and leg pain,” the maid informed worriedly.
Frank nodded. “Okay, go ahead with your work.“‘
When he opened the door and went in, he turned back to Skylar and stated, “Grace has been like this for a while. She often complains of headaches and leg pain.”
“Did the medicine prescribed by the doctor have no

fect after she took it?” she
“It can only relieve her headache symptoms.” Frank sighed, obviously helpless.
After walking in, they saw a haggard old woman with a pale face and a lot of gray hair. Grace Tanner appeared skinny as she lay on the bed under the quilt.
She didn’t notice them entering while they were talking. She kept her eyes closed,
frowned, and bit her lip tightly.
As the three of them observed Grace, they noticed that she was trembling slightly.
Frank walked to the bed and stared at Grace, who was still enduring great pain despite being asleep. His eyes turned red.
Joe stood behind Skylar, watching her observe things calmly.
Suddenly, someone opened the door and walked in.
“Dad? Do we have guests… M–Mr. Martin.”
Frank frowned as his youngest son, Nigel Doherty, entered unexpectedly. “Go

downstairs and wait.”
“Ah, okay.” Nigel glanced at Joe. Then, he looked at Skylar, feeling a little curious
about her.
After he walked out, Frank explained, “Skye, Gloria asked me not to tell anyone about you and Joe until she formally announces it. So, I’m not going to introduce you to my family for now.”
“It’s okay.” Skylar nodded gently, unconcerned about it.
He then turned to Joe. “Sit down and relax, Joe.”
Joe nodded slightly and sat by the side.
“Skye, can you see what is happening?” Frank asked nervously.
Skylar walked to the walk–in closet nearby. One wall of the walk–in closet was transparent, allowing her to see what clothes were hanging within. Her attention fell on a traditional dress.
“Is this the traditional dress a sollectible Mrs. Doherty Senior bought?” Skylar asked.
Frank looked over. He was puzzled as to why Skylar had suddenly inquired about the
traditional dress.
He shook his head and answered, “That traditional dress isn’t a collectible. Nigel
gave it to Grace on her birthday.
“She liked it very much and wore it often before. But she has been in poor health for the past two days and has kept it in the closet.”

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....
