Skylar was lying on the bed in a hospital gown. Looking at her pale face, Tobias gently asked, “Do you

want to drink some water?”

Skylar shook her head and replied with her weak voice, “I can’t drink water yet. The doctor says that I

have to… pass wind.”

She lowered her head after saying that as she felt embarrassed. Tobias looked at her dry lips, then he

went to the nurse station and came back with a cotton bud. He wetted the cotton bud with warm water

and wiped it on her lips.

Skylar gazed at him and cast a weak smile. “I didn’t know you’re so good at taking care of people. I’ve

never been sick like this before. I wonder how the filming crew is doing.”

Skylar informed the filming crew and took a few days off for recovery. After staying in the hospital for

three days, Tobias sent a driver to take her home.

Tobias visited her daily during the hospitalization, but he didn’t stay long. Skylar never asked him to

stay overnight because she didn’t want to make it an obligation for him. To stay or to leave, that was his

choice.

The female patient next to her also underwent an appendectomy. Her boyfriend stayed with her for

almost 24 hours. He fed her and gave her massages every day. Skylar was jealous of the girl, but she

never held high expectations of Tobias to do that for her. It would be freaky if he stayed by her side all

day long.

Miranda had already been informed about Skylar’s condition, yet she didn’t show up at all. Instead, she

just asked Skylar to stay in the hospital. To Miranda, it was just an appendectomy, not a big deal.

Skylar didn’t feel upset about it because she had gotten used to the absence of her mother’s love after

all these years.

Skylar was bored as soon as she reached home. She called Penelope and asked her out to go

shopping.

Penelope was shocked when she saw Skylar. “Are you not eating well? You’re way too skinny,”

Penelope claimed.

Skylar pointed at her belly. “I just had an appendectomy a few days ago. Well, I guess it’s a good way

to lose weight fast.”

Stunned by her statement, Penelope complained, “How could you not tell me? I would’ve paid you a

visit at the hospital if you had told me earlier.”

After saying that, Penelope took out two stacks of cash that were wrapped with white paper strips.

Obviously, the cash was fresh from the bank.

“Here is twenty thousand. I still owe you four hundred eighty thousand and I’ll clear it by this month.”

Penelope handed the cash to Skylar.

Looking at the cash, Skylar furrowed her eyebrows. “Where did you get the money? It’s okay,

Penelope. You can pay me back slowly. I’m getting sixty thousand for each episode of the new drama.

Besides, I’m not in need of money.”

Penelope put a cherry tomato into her mouth. “I have a new boyfriend. He’s from a wealthy family, so I

can clear the debt in no time. My boyfriend is a good man. The only thing is he’s a bit too old for me. I’ll

introduce him to you next week. We can have lunch together.”

Skylar was dumbfounded. Penelope had many ex-boyfriends and she always got a new one not long

after her breakup. Penelope showed Skylar a picture of her new boyfriend. Skylar widened her eyes in

shock when she saw his picture.

She knew the man in the picture. It was him whom she met at the tea room the other day. She

remembered that the man introduced a young model to Tobias. Such a coincidence! Penelope can

even get her hand on this man.

Skylar returned the phone to Penelope, then she said with a serious look, “You have to break up with

this man. I know him. He’s not a decent man and he’ll drag you down.”

Penelope didn’t expect Skylar to object against her relationship with the man. Her face darkened and

immediately denied Skylar’s claim, “He’s the most charming man that I’ve ever seen. It’s the first time

that I can finally be a little girl and protected by a mature gentleman like him.”
