Suddenly, raindrops pounded on the windows. It matched with the mess in the mansion. However, Molly and Edwin were all smiles, as though they couldn’t see it.
When Skylar woke up, it was the afternoon of the next day. Joe lay in a bed beside her. He hadn’t changed out of his suit from last night.
Gloria, Alexander, Caleb, and Simona stood outside, waiting for her to wake up. When they came in, they chorused, “How are you feeling, Skye?”
“I was so worried, Skylar.”
She had gotten a good night’s sleep. In addition, she had been hooked up to an IV drip. Her wounds had been tended to properly. She was doing alright.This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
“I’m fine. Don’t worry, guys.”
She’d been a skilled fighter and knew her way around acupuncture points. Joe had shown up in time. If not, she would’ve been raped.
She was still astounded by her good luck. Ever since she’d been reborn, all those horrible things had happened one after another.
Caleb looked at her wounded forehead and hands. How could she be alright?
Those men who’d hurt Skylar must’ve been demons. They were utterly inhumane.
Tears welled up in Alexander’s and Gloria’s eyes. Who had kidnapped Skylar? What did they want to do with her?
Although Joe kept it from them, they had guesses of their own. They’d lived to such a ripe old age. They could guess what had happened. Joe didn’t need to describe it.
Joe had sent many people to look for Skylar, but they found her in an abandoned warehouse, surrounded by a group of men and cameras.
Aiken had dealt with them. None of them dared to talk about it.
“I have many creams that will help with the scarring. They work extremely well. It won’t leave any marks behind,” Gloria said as she swallowed back tears,
If Viola learned what had happened, she would’ve felt
so horrible.
Thankfully, Joe got there in time. Gloria dared not imagine what would happen if he hadn’t found her.
Alexander added, “I have some friends who specialize in such creams. Don’t worry. I’ll make sure you won’t have any scars. Rest well in the hospital. Don’t you worry about a thing.”
He felt a deep sense of guilt. Skylar’s assistance to hi impacted her, possibly even leading to these dangers.

“Thanks, Grandma. Thank you, Mr. Gardner Senior,” said Skylar. She was extremely moved by their worries.
Caleb stood beside her. He glared at Joe from time to time. If not for Joe, Skylar wouldn’t have gotten kidnapped and hurt.
He couldn’t even protect his own wife. Caleb believed that he had misjudged Joe. Although he looked terrifying, he wasn’t as capable as he seemed.
Joe sat beside them without saying a word. He kept his distance from the rest of them.
If he hadn’t looked at Skylar occasionally, his coldness wouldn’t have subsided even a little.
