Chapter 337
Jenny was wheeled out of the operating room. She was still unconscious and was taken to the intensive
care unit.
Once it was confirmed that there were no complications post–surgery, she would be transferred to a regular ward.
Joe instructed Paul to stay and watch over her. Then, he returned to the hotel from the hospital.
As he stepped out of the car, he headed toward the hotel and spotted Skylar ahead of him.
“Skylar,” Joe called out in a deep voice.
Hearing someone call her name, Skylar immediately stopped and turned around to look at Joe.
For a moment, she’d thought that it might be Christopher following her to the hotel. But it turned out to be
Joe.
Shouldn’t he be at the hospital? Had Jenny’s operation ended?
“Shouldn’t you be resting at the hotel?” Joe asked. His tone was slightly reproachful at her disobedience.
Hearing Joe’s questioning tone, Skylar felt like a child who’d been caught doing something wrong. She quickly put on an extremely bright smile, and her eyes curved with laughter.
“I slept most of the day at the hotel and took some medicine. I found myself getting better. I’m completely fine now. My body is still quite resilient, so I went out for a walk.”
“Resilient?” Joe raised an eyebrow, clearly unconvinced by her words. If her body was resilient, she wouldn’t have cried and pleaded with him to stop after just two times in bed.

But her body had become weak after she’d returned to the Williamses and had to take care of Maisy.
Her words apparently made no difference to Joe. Although his suspicion was obvious, Skylar didn’t care.
He could think whatever he liked.
After all, it wasn’t a bad thing for women to be a little weak. It was better than men being weak.
“Let’s go back to the room.” Joe stepped forward and naturally embraced Skylar.
Skylar was already accustomed to the intimacy between the two of them. Even when Joe hugged around her shoulders, she’d naturally lean against him.
Even she didn’t realize that the habit had formed. Sometimes, it only took a few days for a habit to form.
As soon as the two entered the hotel’s elevator, there was a stiff figure outside the hotel’s glass door Christopher clenched his hands tightly as his eyes filled with disbelief.
That man… That man was Joe Martin! Skylar really was with another man, and it was Joe.

Back in the hotel suite, Joe urged Skylar to take a shower as they finished dinner. Meanwhile, he went to

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....
