You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie) novel Chapter 187

The next day.

When Coralie woke up in a daze, it was already the next morning.

She sat on the sofa and looked around quietly. It was not until then that she recalled that she fell asleep on the previous night while she was waiting for Skylar.

Looking at her room, it seemed that Skylar still hadn't shown up.

After Coralie washed up and put on a light makeup, she left the room.

Instead of worrying that there was something between Skylar and Valerie, she was more concerned about what happened to Skylar.

As she had been working overtime, Coralie was having a day off from work that day. She held the phone and decided to call Harvey.

After all, Harvey was in a hospital designated by the Holland family. If Skylar was hospitalized because of an accident, he would definitely be there.

The phone rang for a long time before Harvey answered.

"Dr. Felton, is Skylar with you?"

When the phone was connected, Coralie asked first.

On the other end of the line, Harvey was silent for a long time before he replied, "Yes, you should come here."

"Come?"

"Yes, come to the hospital."

Coralie could hear that Harvey's voice was a little heavy. She then supposed that something must have happened!

Did Skylar get into a car accident on the previous day?

Coralie hung up the phone and hastened all the way. As it was peak hour, she could not hail a taxi. Moreover, she was still some distance away from the nearest subway station. Coralie had no choice but to run to the nearest subway station as fast as possible.

After two stations, she arrived at Harvey's hospital.

Outside the hospital, the bodyguards in black were standing in several lines, barricading the hospital.

"You can't go in."

Coralie did not care about them. Just when she was about to run inside, she was stopped by the bodyguards.

"I'm looking for someone."

"Even so, you can't go in."

When the bodyguards were stopping her, Harvey came out and told some of the bodyguards, "She is President Holland's wife."

Hearing what Harvey said, two bodyguards stepped aside.

When Coralie entered the hospital, she followed Harvey and asked nervously, "Did anything happen to Skylar?"

She knew that Skylar would never stand people up for no reason.

"Let's go in first."

Harvey didn't say much.

As Coralie followed Harvey along the way, she saw that the corridor was hushed and empty while Skylar was sitting on a long chair in the hospital. He was facing down, like he was in a lot of pain.

However, when Coralie saw that Skylar was fine, she finally felt at ease.

Just as she was about to walk over, Harvey suddenly pulled her sleeve and said, "At 5:32 a.m. in the morning, Grandmother Holland passed away."

"What?"

Coralie was stunned. Although she knew that Grandmother Holland had liver cancer, she did not expect it to be that soon...

It was only about ten days since the last time they met... Why would she suddenly...

Coralie walked over to Skylar and crouched down in front of him. Seeing he was depressed, thinking that she had even suspected him being with Valerie on the previous day...

She felt she was unreasonable.

"Skylar, I'm sorry I'm late. I didn't know..."

Coralie held Skylar's hand, trying to think of some words to comfort him.

She knew that Grandmother Holland had doted on Skylar since he was a child. He was even closer with Grandmother Holland than Anthony or Lillian.

Now that Grandmother Holland passed away, he must be the most sorrowful person.

"I broke my promise yesterday."

Elsa was very discontented.

Coralie felt bad too. She poked Skylar, "Skylar, why don't I wait for you outside?"

"Miss Chariott, I've called out people who are involved in the will, there is no need to withdraw yourself."

The lawyer spoke up when he saw that Coralie wanted to leave.

What he said blew Elsa up!

She slammed the table, "What do you mean? She's named in the will? What does that mean!"

They were covetous of Grandmother Holland's inheritance. They were already dissatisfied with the fact that they had to share amongst themselves, how could Coralie share it too?

"It's Grandmother Holland's decision. I'm only responsible for disposing it."

The lawyer explained.

"But..."

"That's enough! Let's listen to what the lawyer has to say!"

"Coralie is your family, of course you would say so!"

Elsa showed that she was the most frustrated person with the arrangement.

"Then you should just continue making a fuss here. Why don't you ask mother to come back and change her will?"

Elsa immediately became quiet when she heard what Anthony said.

Indeed, Grandmother Holland had passed away, her will was also set in stone already.

Coralie sat there, taking in the hostility from the several people in the Holland family as they rolled their eyes. She could only hide behind Skylar.

The lawyer soon began to read out the inheritance distribution, and most of it was almost the same as what everyone had guessed.

Coralie only received five percent of Holland Group's shares.

Although no one seemed to protest, as soon as it was over, Elsa's anger finally erupted. She walked over and grabbed Coralie's cloth, "Coralie, what kind of black magic did you use on my mother? How could she give you five percent of the stock? Yeah, five percent of the stock is not much, but who are you to have it?
