"The hospital?" Coralie Chariott was stunned. "Didn't you say we were going to sign a contract? Why are we going to a hospital?"
"If you were to sign the contract when you are not clear-headed, you might use that against me in the future." Skylar Holland was sitting very far away from her when he spoke, and his expression was still cold.
"I see. I understand."
People in the business industry were so shrewd and calculative.
Coralie smiled bitterly. She had already mentioned that she was very grateful to Skylar for giving her the 5 million dollars, that she would not covet any of his fortunes.
But why couldn't he just believe it?
Perhaps in Skylar's eyes, she was the same as those women who coveted his money. As she thought of that, she knew that she was silly to think so highly of herself.
The car arrived at a private hospital designated by the Holland family.
The private hospital had provided an excellent service. In addition, because Coralie came with Skylar, it was expected that the staff wouldn't dare to neglect her. Coralie sat in the ward and waited. The doctor who was in charge of her came into the ward and prescribed some medications for her.
IV drips, enough for three days.
"Skylar, would you prefer to have the IV drips here, or to bring it home with you?"
A man in a white coat came in. He was wearing a pair of silver thin-framed glasses and looked gentle.
Behind him was Skylar, who was wearing a suit.
"Let's have it here."
Skylar went into the ward to take a look at Coralie. Then he turned around and left.
On the contrary, the doctor stayed. He looked at Coralie and said with a smile, "Skylar is an introverted guy and not that good at expressing his feelings. It must be hard on you to be with him."
"No."
Coralie smiled bitterly.
She didn't dare to say that she was only a wife who he had rented with 5 million dollars.
"Be together?" She wouldn't even dare to think about it.
The doctor was not surprised. He took out a business card and handed it to Coralie. "My name is Harvey Felton. I'm a doctor here."
Coralie reached out her hand and took the business card respectfully. After scrutinizing it, she carefully put the business card away. "Dr. Felton, I'm sorry to have troubled you today."
"Don't worry, I'm Skylar's best friend. You can contact me whenever you need any help in the future."
Harvey said as he pushed his glasses up his nose.
After a while, a nurse came in and hung the IV drip for Coralie. Then Harvey left with the nurse.
Not long after, Skylar came into the room. Looking at Coralie who was sitting quietly on the sofa while on her drip, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Coralie, I really have underestimated you. As soon as I leave, you tell Harvey that you are my wife."
"What do you mean?"
Coralie was puzzled.
"I married you just to bring good luck to my family. I hope that you don't go around telling everyone that we are married and cause unnecessary trouble."
Skylar said expressionlessly.
"Unnecessary trouble?"
Coralie understood what he meant. "I know. You are the President of the Holland Group. If the word gets out that you had married a divorcee, it will definitely bring shame upon the Holland family."
Upon hearing her words, Skylar fell silent.
For three consecutive days, Coralie came to this hospital for her drips at the request of Skylar.
After that, Coralie went back to work. She had hired a nurse for her mother and brother using the money that she had received from Skylar.
The 5 million dollars really helped her a lot.
In the morning on the fourth day after Coralie fell sick, she received a text message from Skylar.
"Come to the hospital at 2 o'clock in the afternoon."
