Ten days after New Year's Day, Howard was finally sentenced to life in prison for his crimes, such as breaking into someone's house and hurting people with a knife. It was also because he had escaped for many years after the crime and during the time he was out, he had committed many other crimes.
After listening to the police's explanation, Coralie realized the reason behind Howard's actions, where he had fled for five years, was despair.
He wouldn't let Coralie live peacefully even if he went to jail.
Fortunately, he was sentenced to a lifetime in prison.
Coralie thought that the matter would be over once and for all.
Skylar was going overseas in a few days to receive his treatment. Coralie had been packing his luggage for the past few days.
Although she was forced to be on leave, she didn't dare to tell Skylar about it. She was afraid that he would be worried about her.
After all, Skylar had already used his power to suppress the critics of the colleagues in her office.
"Wifey, when I come back, we'll buy a new house. You can decide on the decoration style then."
Skylar sat there, watching Coralie pack his things for him bit by bit.
"It's pretty nice here."
"I had this house to live on my own. I didn't plan to live here after getting married."
Skylar's meaning was already very clear.
When he returned, they would tie the knot.
Skylar had already hinted at her many times before. However, because of his leg injury, he definitely wouldn't mention their marriage at this time.
He had to wait until the operation was successful.
"I'll wait for you to come back." Coralie understood what he meant. She got up and took out a set of dark blue indoor clothes from the wardrobe and asked, "Do you want to bring this along?"
"It's up to you."
Skylar didn't need to pack up. If he needed anything, he could just buy them. Since Coralie wanted to do so, he just let her do whatever she wanted.
"I know that you don't need to take anything with you, you can buy it over there, but I just wanted to do something for you."
Coralie uttered as she put the indoor clothes in the suitcase.
She knows that Skylar could buy anything he needed no matter wherever he went.
"Of course, the new ones are not going to be as comfortable as these."
"How about... I'll go with you." Coralie spoke again, but after she said it, she immediately knew that she said the wrong thing. "I just simply said it. I'll wait for you to come back."
"Yes, wait for me to come back."
Skylar could see Coralie's contradicting emotions, but he didn't refuse, because he was afraid.
He was afraid that if the operation failed this time, everything might return to how it was before.
This time, Skylar had very high expectations for this operation.
"By the way, I'll go back to the Holland family in the afternoon later. I'll be back in the evening."
Skylar was going to send his greetings to Lillian before he left the country. After all, it was going to be more than half a year, so he had to at least inform her.
"Okay, do you need... me to go with you?"
Coralie asked symbolically.
She hadn't seen Lillian for a long time already. However, Coralie knew that their relationship would only become worse if they met again.
In Lillian's eyes, not to mention Skylar's lower body was unable to move, even if he was paralyzed, or even in a vegetative state, Coralie was still not worthy of him.
"No, you should stay here. I'll be back very soon."
Skylar knew that it was not good for Coralie and Lillian to meet.
......
Skylar returned to the Holland family in the afternoon.
