Coralie stopped talking and lay quietly on the bed, waiting for Lillian to continue.
After all, in Lillian's eyes, Coralie was the sole cause of Valerie's disability.
"Do you know where Skylar is these days?"
Lillian said.
In fact, even if she didn't say it, Coralie knew that Skylar must be keeping Valerie company.
Although Coralie felt sad in her heart, she had no reason to stop him.
Because if the car crash turned out to be a real accident, Valerie did save Coralie in a way. She even lost a leg...
"He's accompanying Valerie, isn't he? I got it."
"It's good that you know."
Lillian still planned for Valerie to be her daughter-in-law. Especially after Coralie's miscarriage, she had made up her mind in pairing Skylar with Valerie up.
However, what Lillian did not know was that Valerie had also made plans for herself.
"Madam Ford, this is the special care area of our hospital. You shouldn't be here without authorization."
At this time, Harvey came in wearing a white coat and a silver glasses, looking gentlemanly.
"I see."
Lillian curled her lips in disdain.
Her purpose was to fill Coralie in with the fact that Valerie had become disabled because she tried to save Coralie, and that Skylar was accompanying Valerie every day.
Now that Lillian had spoken, there was no point for her to stay.
After Lillian left, Harvey said, "Miss Chariott, you don't have to worry. You should believe that Skylar will handle this matter well."
At that time, Valerie was supposed to be sent to this hospital. But Skylar was afraid that the Rae family would make trouble for Coralie, so he separated them. He was thinking very thoroughly.
"Well, thank you, Dr. Felton."
"Then have a good rest. I'll attend to my work first."
Coralie clasped the white quilt with her fingers. She felt inexplicably uneasy when she thought that Skylar had been accompanying Valerie all the time.
Seeing that Harvey was about to leave, Coralie hurriedly called him again, "Dr. Felton, do you know about Valerie's condition?"
Hearing Coralie's question, Harvey hesitated.
Obviously, he knew of her situation. The doctors in this hospital were more experienced, so a few of them were transferred to the other hospital to treat Valerie's leg. When they returned, they did inform Harvey about the situation there.
However, Harvey was not sure if it was right to tell Coralie.
Coralie noticed his pinched look, so she did not probe any longer, "It's all right, Dr. Felton, I was just asking."
Harvey had a good impression of Coralie, and he also knew that Skylar liked her very much. In order not to create misunderstanding between them, Harvey decided to tell her. "Miss Chariott, the situation with Valerie is complicated. For a while, it's hard for Skylar to get away from her and come to see you. But he still cares about you. He asks me about your condition every night."
"Really? But for so many days, can't he just spend some on me? Even if it's just for a few hours?"
Coralie knew that Valerie's condition was miserable.
However, Coralie wasn't expecting anything much. She only hoped that Skylar would come to see her, care about her, or even make a phone call.
But none of these happened.
"He really doesn't have time." Harvey felt that it was really hard to explain if he didn't tell the truth. "Valerie was calm at first when she found out she lost a leg. But from the next day, she suddenly made a fuss and wanted to commit suicide. No one could stop her. She listened to no one. Only when Skylar was with her could she behave like a normal person."
"How could this be..."
