Chapter 68
Chapter 68
Skylar Holland lowered his head and saw that Coralie Chariott was wearing the slippers from the hotel.
He thought of what Franklin Moore had said just now.
All of a sudden, he was worried that Coralie would be tricked by Franklin.
"Are you okay, Miss Chariott?"
On the way, Valerie Rae had already asked about Coralie's surname.
"I'm alright now. I'm sorry that I caused you guys to worry about me."
Coralie bowed slightly. She tried to be polite and distant.
Skylar felt terrible.
He looked at Franklin, who was standing beside Coralie in a nervous manner. They looked like a
couple, which caused Skylar to feel even more annoyed!
"Skylar was worried about you just now, so I helped him to get his coat and came with him to chase
after you,"
Valerie said, as she stood next to him.
Her words were contradictory. It sounded as if Skylar were worried, yet he had waited for Valerie to get
his coat. Then, they chased after Coralie. It seemed as if he were not that worried.
"I'm sorry."
Coralie acted in the same indifferent manner, with the same expression, giving others a feeling that she
was distancing herself.
"Thank you for your concern, uncle. Take your wife and leave quickly. Don't let her freeze here."
On the surface, Franklin seemed like he was being caring, but he was actually mocking Skylar.
He demonstrated his disdain for Skylar very clearly.
"Franklin, I know that you used to... But I hope you don't have any misunderstanding about Skylar. It
was all my wishful thinking..." Valerie knew clearly that Franklin used to admire her.
At that time, she had made use of Franklin to do many things. Back then, Franklin was young, and he
was blinded by love.
"Well, I know. It was my own choice to like you." Franklin finished speaking and patted Coralie on the
shoulder. "Let's go. I'll send you back."
However, just as she turned around, Skylar walked over, picked up Coralie and said, "Come home with
me."
He realized that he could not stand seeing Coralie leave with another man.
This reminded him of the time, when Coralie had married someone else, after she had broken up with
him. He would not allow something like this to happen again.
"You..."
"Franklin. Send Valerie back."
As Franklin chased after him, Skylar gave him this order.
......
Coralie was in Skylar's arms. She looked at Franklin, who had walked away, and she said to Skylar, "I
know you don't want me to go with him. Don't worry, I won't. I know that I have an agreement with you,
and I won't do anything that goes against that agreement."
"You know this quite well."
Although Skylar said so, he didn't want to put her down.
Coralie had to say, "I can walk. I just need to be slightly slower."
Actually, she had sprained her ankle.
"Shut up."
Skylar held Coralie in his arms and got into the assistant's car. Coralie thought that he would take her
home, but when the car stopped, she found that they were not at home, but at the entrance of a private
hospital.
"This is..." Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
"I brought you to see a doctor."
Before Coralie could finish her words, Skylar cut her off.
Today, Skylar looked very irritated.
"Are you angry?" Coralie was in his arms, and the train from her long dress fell to the ground. She
wrapped her arms around Skylar's neck and asked this question cautiously.
"Mrs. Holland was dancing with another man intimately. Then, she went for a walk with him. Should I be
in a good mood?
Skylar lowered his head, raised his eyebrows, and he seemed displeased. At this time, he didn't want
to look at his own flaws. His mind was filled with the thoughts of Coralie being taken advantage by
another man.
At this time, the two of them had already entered the hospital. The secretary walked in front of them to
make way for them. Skylar took her directly to the treatment room, placed her in a chair and sat down
beside her.
A male doctor on duty then knelt down, lifted Coralie's ankle, looked at the swollen part, and twisted it
gently.
"Ouch, it hurts."
It was just a slight twist, but Coralie screamed out in pain. She even stretched out her hand to try to
stop the doctor from continuing.
Skylar, who was standing beside Coralie, was already in a bad mood. When he saw Coralie reacting
that way, he became more frustrated. "Are you capable of treating this? If you are not capable, let
someone else handle this."
Of course, the doctor knew who Skylar was. Although Skylar had such an attitude, he did not dare to
protest.
Coralie did not expect Skylar to vent his anger on the doctor. She quickly said, "It doesn't hurt. It
doesn't hurt. I'm the one who provoked you. Don't vent your anger on someone innocent."
"In this case, if we only apply the medicine, it will heal slower, but if we massage it, it will be more
painful..."
When the doctor saw that Skylar was in a bad mood, he quickly told him the pros and cons. He was
afraid that Coralie would scream if he massaged her directly, and he might lose his job.
"Why don't we apply the medicine first?"
Coralie's ankle hurt when she tried to move it. She understood that she would definitely end up
screaming if the doctor helped her to massage it. By that time, this poor doctor might be scolded by
Skylar.
"Well, let's apply some medicine then."
After a short while, the doctor took some of the medicine and applied it gently on Coralie's ankle.
However, to help it heal faster, he would still have to apply some pressure.
Coralie gritted her teeth and endured this situation. She did not dare to make any sound. She was
afraid that if she shouted, Skylar would be really angry.
However, Skylar noticed that Coralie had cold sweat on her forehead, even though it was winter.
Coralie was trying not to make any noise. He stood up, grabbed the doctor's hand and said, "Get out if
you can't do this properly."
"I'm sorry." When the doctor noticed the situation, he was scared and he stood up quickly. "The
application of the medicine is almost done, just bring the rest back home."
After saying that, he didn't dare to stay in the treatment room for another second.
"I'm sorry. Today, as Mrs. Holland, I danced with someone else. I was inconsiderate and thoughtless."
Coralie saw Skylar's look. Although she felt wronged as well, she still chose to apologize.
After all, it was wrong for her to take his money and do such a thing.
"It's good that you know this."
Skylar bent down and carried Coralie again. This time, Coralie refused quickly, "I can walk on my own.
The car is just at the entrance."
Coralie felt that she had an issue. As long as she got too close to Skylar, she would become confused
and paranoid. For example, just now, she thought that Skylar had carried her away because he was
jealous. Also, when Skylar scolded the doctor, she thought that he was actually worried on her behalf.
However, she didn't dare to think too much, because she was afraid that she was just overthinking
everything.
"You'd better not provoke me again."
Skylar carried Coralie in his arms and got in the car. He was silent all the way.
Coralie looked on as the car drove toward Skylar's home, but she couldn't do anything about it.
Coralie was wearing a gown and he was pressing down on her. Her foot was swollen so badly that she
would feel the pain as soon as she moved it. She did not dare to move.
Skylar rubbed his hand on her body, and he tried to kiss her. Coralie's mind was filled with the scene of
him and Valerie kissing just now. She said coldly, "You just kissed another woman, and now, you're
trying to kiss me?"
Skylar raised his head suddenly and looked at Coralie. He seemed displeased. "Coralie, do you think
you are particularly innocent?"
Before Coralie could speak, Skylar continued, "A second-hand abandoned woman bargaining with me
in bed? As long as I want, I can choose any other innocent girls. Do you think you're my only choice?"
Coralie looked at Skylar. She thought that she might be a freak. Although she had a marriage before,
she had kept herself clean after she had signed the agreement with Skylar. However, her divorce was a
stain that she could not erase.
Based on this point, she was not as good as Valerie.
"Well, I'm a second-hand woman. Since you're just using my birth date, why do you want to have sex
with me, just let me go?"
He would not choose her in the end anyway.
Coralie looked at the man in front of her, with his sword-shaped eyebrows and bright eyes. It was still
the face that she missed seeing day and night during college. If she was given another chance to
choose again, she might still be willing to give up everything and fall in love with him again.
It was a pity that this was impossible.
Unfortunately, she had married someone else.
