Chapter 1350
Skylar immediately realized that Joe was still uncertain about his own identity. He was worried whether he was really Joe Martin.
Seeing him filled with doubt, Skylar remained firm. "From the day I confirmed that you were Joe, you became Joe. You are not Ned Sowle. So, it's you that I'm committed to, not the name you currently go by."
Upon hearing this, Joe's eyes darkened as if a storm was brewing in them, dark clouds churning with intensity. His gaze was so intense that he looked like he could almost devour her.
Joe thought to himself, "She's committed to me?"
They locked eyes for a long time, and Skylar's heart pounded rapidly.
A sudden call broke the silence, pulling them back to reality.
Joe answered the call on his phone.
"Mr. Sowle, Ms. Reese has attempted suicide! Please come to the hospital quickly!"
The urgency in the caller's voice changed Joe's expression. He stood up and said, "I'll be right there." Then, he looked at Skylar. "Remember what you said today."
With that, he strode out quickly.
Skylar had faintly heard the words "attempted suicide." But why would Rosa suddenly attempt suicide?
At the hospital, Rosa lay pale on the hospital bed, having been unconscious for over an hour.
Fortunately, a nurse had discovered her in time. Otherwise, the consequences would have been dire.
The doctor explained Rosa's condition to Calvin, and when Joe arrived, Calvin briefed him immediately.
"Mr. Sowle Ms. Reese used a razor
to cut he wrists, and there was blood all over the floor. The doctor said it was a close call-if she'd been found an hour later, she might not have made it.
"The cut was deep. It seems she genuinely intended to end her life. The doctor also said she can't be subjected to any stress right now. There's a chance she may try again when she wakes up.

"A psychologist called her on the phone, and answered it. He said Ms. Reese has severe depression and is in a critical period where she really needs family support. Otherwise, she might not have the will to keep on living."
Calvin carefully watched Joe's reaction as he finished speaking.
Being by his side every day, Calvin noticed Joe's unusual interest in Skylar recently. He had even arranged for today's lunch meeting on his own. But with this emergency, it seemed like he wouldn't be able to see Skylar anytime soon.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
After all, Rosa was too fragile right now. They might have prevented one suicide attempt, but what about the next time? They might not be so lucky again.
Joe's brow frowned deeply.
At that moment, Rosa began to regain consciousness.
As she opened her eyes, she felt disoriented, as though she didn't know where she was. She was stunned when she saw Joe.
After staring at him for a few minutes, she averted her eyes and stared blankly at the ceiling.
Rosa, who was usually full of life and talkative, now seemed utterly devoid of any spirit. It was an expression Joe had rarely seen on her before.
