Chapter 696
Jenny had heard rumors that Skylar knew some metaphysics. Rowan had even asked her to help him. She could determine the negative energy surrounding
an item.
It sounded like a cool skill, but wasn’t Skylar just using it as a boast so Joe
would like her more?
Jenny’s jealousy of Skylar hit a new high,
Paul, Howard, and Drake left the room. Th
they weren’t interested in third–wheeling.
left the young couple alone as
When Paul walked out, he immediately saw Jenny. He asked, “Why are you here?”
“I called emergency services. They put me on an IV drip. I’ve just finished it, so I came out for a walk. Why are you in the hospital?” Jenny retorted. It was also a complaint about his heartlessness.
He’d asked her to call emergency services on the phone. How could he be shameless enough to ask her why she was in the hospital?
Was Skylar the only person allowed to come? Why couldn’t Jenny make a trip to the hospital as well?
She was much more familiar with the doctors here than Skylar, alright?
When they heard that she’d come to the hospital, they went to see her and arranged all her checkups. Yet Paul and Joe had been keeping Skylar company all this time.
Jenny felt the impulse to barge in and see for herself how badly injured Skylar
was.
Paul was stunned by her questioning. He glanced back at Skylar’s room before saying, “Nothing much. I just needed to handle a few things here. Have you gone through the admissions process? Do you need my help with it?”
“That won’t be necessary. I’ve gotten everything done,” answered Jenny. She wasn’t going to obsess over it.
Since Paul was keeping Skylar’s hospitalization a secret, this meant that she wat severely hurt
Even if she was injured, why would Paul keep it from her? Jenny had a feeling that Skylar’s injury wasn’t a regular one. If not, it wouldn’t have been kept under
wraps
Jealousy became the last thing on Jenny’s mind. She was preoccupied with pondering about why Skylar had been hospitalized for serious injuries.
Joe’s protectiveness over Skylar was on another level. She couldn’t understand it.
“I’ll head back to my room now. If you see Jo ‘ease let him know that I’d like to see him,” Jenny said as she left.
Paul noticed that Jenny hadn’t prodded him on why he’d walked out of a hospital room. He realized that something was off.
This was a deviation from her recent behavior. Jenny was right in front of Skylar’s hospital room. She’d seen Paul and Howard there. However, she did not ask about who was inside.
This meant that Jenny knew who was inside.
Howard said softly, “In the years since we’ve seen Jenny, she has undergone a profound change.”
Paul agreed, “You’re right. She has changed.”
“I don’t know whether it’s a good thing or a bad thing,” Howard added with a raised eyebrow.
If Joe hadn’t known Skylar, Jenny’s feelings might have a chance to be reciprocated. However, anyone with eyes could tell that Skylar was extremely important to Joe.
If Skylar had gotten raped, there would be disastrous consequences.
“Did they use the dozens of cameras that were brought there?” Howard asked.

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....
