Chapter 996
Paul came just in time. So, Skylar gave him a smile.
He was a bit surprised to see Skylar smiling.
“Please give the medicine to Mr. Martin now,” Skylar said.
Then, Paul immediately poured the liquid medicine as instructed. When he handed it to Joe, he said, “Mr. Martin, this one tastes pretty good. It has a fruity taste.
He had chosen from several options, and this one seemed to be the easiest to drink, something even kids would.
“Fruity?” Skylar was curious.
The medicine had a fruity flavor?
She then stared at Joe. But the more she looked, the more she couldn’t hold back. In the end, she laughed.
It seemed Joe was even more difficult to deal with than a child. He needed to be coaxed to take medicine, and it had to be something without a strong aftertaste.
Joe’s face darkened as he looked at Skylar laughing. Then, he cast a cold glance at Paul. That look made Paul’s heart skip a beat.
He wondered if he had done something wrong.
Probably not.
Hopefully not.
Joe noticed Skylar was still laughing. So, his ears started to turn red. He grabbed the medicine from Paul and downed it in one go while keeping his eyes fixed on her.
He couldn’t really taste anything, but an odd feeling in his mouth made him uncomfortable.
Skylar then handed him a glass of water. “Drink some water, it’ll make your throat feel better.”
Joe looked at the glass before him, the
at Skylar, before taking it and sipping the water slowly. The warm
water really eased the unpleasant feeling in his mouth.
“Well, Mr. Martin, Mrs. Martin, I’ll head out now. If you need anything, just give me a call.” Then, Paul quickly made his exit.
With Skylar there, he didn’t have to worry anymore.
Before either of them could respond, he had already closed the door behind him.
Now, it was just Skylar and Joe in the room.
Joe felt a little dizzy from the fever but still couldn’t sleep. With Skylar there, he knew he didn’t want to just settle for less. He knew he would sleep better if he could hold her.
“It’s getting late. Let’s sleep,” Joe said.
Skylar glanced at the time. It was indeed late. “Okay, I’ll take a shower first.”
“No need.”
Joe grabbed Skylar’s wrist and pulled her straight onto the bed.

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....
