Chapter 992
“Are you still with Aiken and his sister?” Joe’s cold voice came through the phone, Even without seeing each other’s faces, the coldness in his tone was unmistakable.
Skylar frowned slightly. “I’m with Natalie. She’s sick.”
After a moment of silence, Joe said, “I’ll pick you up tonight.”
“No need. She has a fever, so I’ll be watching her tonight,” Skylar refused directly.
Joe simply responded with an “Alright.”
With nothing more to say, they ended the call.
Skylar looked at her phone, feeling an odd emptiness in her che order. So, she picked it up and returned to the hotel.
that moment, the waiter brought her
When she got back, Natalie was still sleeping. She woke up about half an hour later, immediately catching the scent of food.
“You’re awake? I bought some chicken soup and boiled vegetables. Do you want some?” Skylar asked.
Yes!
Natalie nodded eagerly. “Yes! I’m starving!”
Skylar had Natalie take her temperature again after that. It had dropped slightly over 98.6 degrees, and she seemed to be in better shape now. Skylar felt relieved.
As they were eating, someone knocked on the door.
“Who is it?” Natalie asked.
“It’s me, Jeremy.”
Hearing his name changed Natalie’s expression. She looked at Skylar and said, “I’m going to lie down. Can you open the door for me?”
Skylar just nodded. “Okay.”
When she opened the door, Jeremy was about to say something. But he stopped upon seeing her instead
of Natalie.
“You’re not going out with Joe?” Jeremy asked.
Skylar nodded slightly. “I’ll be staying with Nath today.
Natalie then called out weakly from the bed, “Is there something you need?”
Jeremy frowned immediately and walked quickly toward the bed, noticing the chicken soup and vegetables on the table. Looking closer, he also saw the thermometer and medicine on the table.
“You’re sick? Why didn’t you tell me? I’ll take you to the hospital,” Jeremy said as he tried to help Natalie
But Natalie quickly said, “No need. Skye’s been taking good care of me, and I feel much better. I should be fine by tomorrow after resting for tonight.”
Upon hearing that, Jeremy turned to Skylar and said, “Thank you for taking care of her.”

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....
