Richest Mogul

Joe said, “Paul told me about Herman’s situation. Just do what you can.”

Seeing Joe still worried, Skylar reassured him. “Alright, I’ll only do what’s within my ability.”

After exchanging a few more words, Skylar hung up and went to open the door.

A few people were gathered outside. They were debating whether to open the door and When s

suddenly stepped out.

go in

“You scared the life out of me! I was just about to barge in. Good thing you came out,” Lizzie said with a heavy sigh of relief.

Paul nodded, equally shaken. “You almost gave me a heart attack too.

Skylar smiled at the two of them. “I was sleeping and didn’t hear the knocking. Has your brother woken up?” she asked Lizzie.

Lizzie shook her head and replied, “Not yet, but he doesn’t look as pale as before.”

“That’s good. Maybe he’ll wake up tonight.” Skylar checked the time.

Lizzie then said, “Let’s go grab dinner first. Paul said you like fondue, so I booked a table at a place that specializes in it. They’ve already reserved a spot for us.”

Skylar agreed. “Sounds good. Let’s go.”

Just as the three of them got into the car and were about to leave Garza Residence, Winona came rushing out with panic written all over her face.

“He’s awake! Herman just woke up. He even spoke,” Winona shouted to them.

There was more than just urgency in her voice–tears glistened on her face.

Upon hearing Winona’s words, Lizzie immediately got out of the car. “Mom, did you just say he woke up? Did he speak? What did he say?”

Skylar followed her out, and the three returned to the villa with Winona

Through her tears, Winona explained, “He said it felt like he had been trapped in a long, terrible dream. In the dream, he had turned into someone twisted and cruel. He tried to escape the dream but couldn’t find his way out.”

“I’ll go check on him,” Skylar said.

“Alright, alright. When Herman woke up just now, the first thing he asked me was if someone had helped him. He vaguely remembered hearing people talking about scissors and a pendant. But he said it was all so unclear, like voices in a dream,” Winona said. She was unusually emotional at the moment..

Her excitement was understandable. Over the past year, the exhaustion and heartbreak had worn her down as a mother.

Every bit of hope had crumbled, and she never expected to witness this moment.

Looking at Skylar with tears still in her eyes, Winona grabbed Skylar’s hands and said, “You’re a benefactor to our family, Ms. Sullivan. I don’t think I’d ever hear my son speak again if it weren’t for you.”

Before Skylar could respond, Lizzie chimed in, “You truly are a benefactor for our family, and especially for me.”

She leaned closer to Skylar and whispered, “If it weren’t for you, I’d be stuck inheriting the family business. You have no idea how terrifying that is for me. That kind of suffering–1 can’t handle it. So you’ve spared me a lot of sleepless nights.”

If Skylar hadn’t already been with Joe, Lizzie might have joked about repaying the favor by offering herself up. But alas, it wasn’t meant to be.

Skylar smiled at Winona and Lizzie. “Let’s check on Herman first.”

Herman had been tormented by a negative item for over a year. Without the devoted care of Winona and Carl, he wouldn’t have made it this far, nor would he have survived long enough for Skylar to come and help. NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
