Skylar was hospitalized for three more days. Then, she was discharged, looking fit as a fiddle.
Alexander prohibited her from going to work. He gave her a few more days off.
In the following days, Skylar dealt with the phoenix figurine. She also called Janine to reassure her. Then, she found an excuse to dispel Janine's intentions of visiting her.
She only returned to Galaxy Villa at night. The next day, Joe headed to work early in the morning.
Skylar hadn't seen Gloria in a while and was planning to visit. Just as she was about to head out after tidying up, Joe returned home.
"Haven't you gone to work?" Skylar asked in surprise.
Joe noticed that Skylar had changed into going-out clothes. He raised an eyebrow and asked, "Are you going out?"
"I haven't visited Grandma Gloria at Pearlhall Residence in a while. I'm planning to pay her a visit," Skylar informed Joe as she put on her shoes.
"I'll go with you," suggested Joe.
Skylar had no idea what he was trying to do. She asked, "Aren't you going to work?"
He hadn't gone to work in a week, yet he came back after an hour. This was a stark contrast to his work-addicted self.
"There's nothing I need to attend to at work," Joe said calmly.
Skylar didn't ask any further questions.
Lucas drove them there.
Initially, Skylar wanted to take a cab to the repair shop to collect her car, which had been ready for collection for days. However, she'd been too busy to go, and it looked like she could only go there tomorrow.
It was silent in the car. The two of them had no idea what to say. The atmosphere in the car seemed off.
They hadn't spoken much while Skylar was in the hospital. They had no idea what to say, even if they wanted to.
A sharp trill broke through the silence.

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....
