Chapter 7
The staff was stunned. He didn't expect that Skylar Holland would turn back suddenly, but he still
politely retreated.
Skylar carried Coralie Chariott to the room.
"Thank you..." Coralie said as she leaned against the wall. "I... I'll go in and take a bath."
Coralie supported herself against the wall and went into the bathroom. She didn't even take off her
clothes and stood under the shower. The warm water was flowing down from her head to her body,
trying to drive away the coldness from her body.
But no matter how hot the water was, the coldness in Coralie's body could not be dispelled. Instead, it
became even colder.
The steam in the bathroom slowly rose. Coralie stood there and felt that everything in front of her was
getting blurry... more and more blurry...
"Thud!"
Skylar was waiting outside of the bathroom.
"What's going on?"
He rushed in without hesitation once he heard the sound coming from the bathroom!
In the bathroom, Coralie was leaning against the glass wall naked. Her forehead had a red patch and
her eyes were tightly closed. It seemed like she had lost consciousness.
"What a nuisance!"
Skylar frowned slightly, he then picked Coralie up from the ground and carried her out of the bathroom.
That was the time that Skylar had only realized that he hadn't seen Coralie for five years. Although
Coralie's face didn't change much from when she was in college, her body had changed a lot.
From a girl to a real woman.
It was just that her body was very thin, even thinner than when she was in college.
"Water... So thirsty..."
Coralie murmured.
"Do you want to drink some water?"
"Yes..."
"Okay, since I have spent money, this is all expected."
Skylar didn't hesitate a moment when he leaned down and pressed his lips against hers.
A gust of warm air swept over Coralie.
"I'm still thirsty. I want more..."
Because of the fever, Coralie's body was very weak. She lay on the big white bed with her pale body
almost blending into the color of the sheets.
Coralie was having a fever. Her body was heating up. Skylar could feel her temperature on his body,
which agitated his body even more.
He still remembered their first kiss in college.
That was the end of the rehearsal at night and both of them had cakes as supper. The corner of
Carolie's mouth was covered with cream so he kissed her passionately as if he was possessed, wiping
off the cream on her lips.
Her face instantly turned red and she wanted to bury her face in her knees, but Skylar stopped her.
This time, it was finally a kiss on her lips.
But today, Coralie was different.
"Hmm..."
Coralie, who was lying under him, did not feel his anger. She only felt that while she was asking for
water, her lips were being kissed crazily and a slight pain could be felt on her lips.
"Howard..."
Coralie, who was falling unconscious, finally uttered a word.
It was another man's name.
Skylar was immediately turned off the moment she said the name of this man.
"Coralie, open your damn eyes and see who I am!"
Skylar held her chin tightly. Coralie's eyes were blurred. She had no idea who was in front of her, she
couldn't even listen to him clearly.
The anger in his chest was difficult to suppress. He started to kiss her at her neck fiercely. But Coralie
was unconscious due to the fever and her two arms lay limp weak beside her, which had completely
turned Skylar off!
Finally, he got up and walked towards the bathroom.
Coralie was used to getting up early. Howard was very picky about breakfast, that was why, in the past,
she would get up very early to prepare different kinds of breakfast for him.
Although she had been divorced for a month, her body clock did not change.
Coralie sat up, but she immediately felt that the world was spinning.
She touched her forehead subconsciously. Sure enough, after being in the rain for the whole night, she
was having a fever now.
But she didn't care about that. The dress that she had worn was hung dry at the side. She put on the
clothes, wrote her phone number on the notepad and ran away from the hotel with her bag.
At this time, Skylar, who was lying on the other side of the bed, had not woken up yet.
Coralie had already expected the worst. She thought that even if Skylar had really slept with her, it
wouldn't be a big deal anyway.
But when she stood up, she found that Skylar had not done anything to her last night.
A feeling of uneasiness lingered in her heart.
"The two patients were lying ill here, but you were nowhere to be found yesterday. I really haven't seen
such a daughter!"
Coralie had just arrived at the hospital. Before she entered the ward, she could hear a nurse
complaining.
Yesterday, Coralie left after paying 20,000 dollars as the deposit for the hospitalization of her mother
and brother. They almost thought that Coralie had run away.
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry."
Coralie held her bag and was about to pay for the medical expenses.
Behind her, the nurse made another sarcastic remark. "This kind of woman, with her family bedridden
in the hospital, still went and slept with a man. It's weird that she suddenly had so much money to pay
for the expenses. I wonder if she was a prostitute."
"But a prostitute would not be able to make so much money in a day."
"Maybe she's a mistress!"
Then, there was a mocking laugh.
Coralie held her bag, bit her lip, walked to the payment counter and didn't look back.
If the nurse said so yesterday, she would throw her bag on their faces and fight back.
But today, she couldn't do it.
After paying the bill, she took the breakfast that she had bought just now and went to her mother's ward
first.
At this time, her mother had already woken up. When she saw her coming in, her eyes turned red. "My
dear girl, even if Howard is not treating you well, you can't do such a thing behind his back." C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
Coralie thought that it was the nurses outside who had told her mother such a thing. She brought the
porridge over and explained, "Mom, don't listen to their nonsense. Howard was the one who paid for
the medical bills."
