Skylar sat feebly on the small round stool and almost didn’t have the strength to open her eyes.

The doctor auscultated her lungs and examined her throat. Then, he prescribed a routine blood test for

her.

Upon hearing the words “blood test”, Skylar grimaced and gave Tobias a look, asking for his help.

Skylar had experienced finger-prick blood tests before and it was even more painful than taking an

injection. The minute the needle pricked into your flesh, it would be terribly excruciating.

Tobias patted Skylar’s shoulder. “Let’s go now. We still need to wait another thirty minutes for the blood

test result later. If we dawdle some more, the sky would turn bright soon. Come on, be a good girl,

alright?”

Listening to his coaxing in a deep and husky voice, especially the words “good girl”, Skylar could feel

the ticklish sensation in her ears.

As though possessed, she nodded unwittingly.

Skylar’s phone was lying in the pocket of her pants and when she sat down for the blood test, it dug

into her thigh, making her uncomfortable. So, she took it out and handed it over to Tobias.

Tobias took the phone and it was a peculiarly abrupt sight to see its pinkish casing in his palm.

Skylar closed her eyes as she was afraid to see the syringe needle. Her timid expression made Tobias

chuckle softly.

This woman can be extremely bullheaded at times and yet she’s so skittish at this very second. It was

unfathomable for him what was so scary about such a tiny affliction.

As the needle pricked into her finger, she cried out in anguish. It was so agonizing as though she had

been ripped apart.

Tobias helped to press the cotton on her finger to stop the bleeding. Skylar was particularly weak at the

moment and she had just been through a round of great “torture”.

She rested her head on Tobias’ shoulder.

While they waited for the blood test result, Skylar’s phone which was still in Tobias’ palm started

ringing. A series of numbers without a name appeared on the screen.

Following that were a few text messages that popped up.

Skylar, what’s your relationship with that man? Don’t lie to me. I’m serious about our marriage.

Reply me, will you?

Did you change your mind because of money? Wasn’t the three hundred thousand I gave to you

enough?

I’ll go to Wesley’s house tomorrow.

Looking at these series of text messages, the gaze in Tobias’ eyes deepened. And I thought I’m already

annoying and demanding enough.

Who could have expected this kind of pestering? Regardless, there was no way Tobias would be

sending her text messages non-stop as this man did. His affection was not so intense and insane.

Skylar opened her eyes and asked with a rather hoarse voice, “Who is sending me texts at this hour?”

Tobias quietly put the phone into the pocket of his trousers and answered nonchalantly, “Don’t bother

about it. It’s just some spam texts.”

The result of the blood test was finally released– it was inflammation. After collecting the medication,

Tobias and Skylar left the hospital.

Skylar was experiencing a terrible headache, making her feel as though her head would explode any

second. In the meantime, she was utterly strained and drained of all strength. Her entire body was

awfully exhausted.

“My head hurts so much. Am I going to die?” Skylar rubbed her own temples as she endured the

agony.

Tobias who was driving turned around and shot a gaze at her. “I have headaches very often and there’s

no other way. Hang in there till it’s over and you’ll be okay.”

In fact, Skylar was hoping to get some consolation from Tobias.

However, it turned out that his way of comforting others was too peculiar and even more useless than

“drink more warm water”.

Tobias didn’t tell Skylar that he suffered from severe spondylopathy which often caused nerve

compression. Therefore, experiencing a headache was commonplace for him and no amount of

painkillers could help.

When they reached home, it was already dawn. The sky barely brightened up and light rays could be

vaguely seen.

Tobias opened the car door and asked, “Are you able to walk?”

Skylar answered with a nod. “I can still manage.”

Tobias looked at her face which was grimacing in agony until her features were all stitched together

with her eyes tightly shut.

Skylar got off the car and before she knew it, her feet lifted off the ground as Tobias had carried her up

on his shoulder like he was carrying a stack of heavy loads. It was no way near the romantic approach

of being carried in a prince charming’s arms.

It was at that moment that Skylar felt like she was a gunnysack with fifty kilograms of potatoes inside.

Laura had already turned in and Tobias carried Skylar to the bedroom and put her down in bed.
