Skylar replied honestly, “I don’t have any plan for now. Have you had breakfast? There’s milk and sandwiches.”
“I had something to eat on the plane. If you don’t have any plans, just stay and sleep with me for a while,” Joe said, his voice carrying a hint of fatigue.
Skylar’s expression changed: Lately, Joe had been increasingly blunt. “I was going to…”
Before she could finish explaining, Joe’s intense gaze fixed on hers. “It’s not what you’re thinking. I just want to get some sleep, purely sleep.”
Skylar’s face flushed. “I just woke up and I’m not sleepy yet. If you’re worried about me being noisy at home, I was actually planning to go to the library to do some research, so I won’t disturb you.”
It wasn’t that she was overthinking things. His choice of words was questionable. Who would say things like “sleep with me” in the middle of the day?
Joe swiftly pulled her into his arms as she was about to leave.
“Is it because it’s not what you thought that you’re getting upset? Since I have nothing else to do, I’ll just .deal with you first, then sleep.”
Joe spoke plainly, and his actions were even more direct. His body was equally straightforward.
Skylar was astonished by his energy. He had just gotten off the plane and was already exhausted. She questioned, “Aren’t you afraid of overworking yourself?”
“Want to give it a try?” His deep voice rumbled in her ear.
Skylar felt Joe was becoming increasingly shameless.
Sometime later, as Skylar was feeling exhausted and drowsy, she realized Joe was not only getting brazen but also more uncontrolled in bed.
In a daze, Joe kissed her again. It was a long, gentle kiss. Recently, he liked kissing her a lot, especially after their intimate moments.
When she woke up again, it was already 2:00 pm. She was jolted awake by the sound of a phone ringing.
Skylar was still half–asleep when she picked up her phone and checked it. Then, she nudged Joe, who was still holding her. “It’s your phone. Someone’s calling you.”
Joe extended his arm to grab the phone and slowly opened his eyes. Seeing Skylar preparing to get up, he pulled her back into his arms, not letting her leave.
Skylar was about to speak when she saw Joe had already answered the call, so she fell silent. NôvelDrama.Org owns this.
“Do you know Jenny Scott?” the voice on the other end asked.
“She was in a car accident and is at the hospital. I saw you were the first contact on her phone, so I called
you.”
Joe furrowed his brow. “A car accident?”
“Yes.”
“Which hospital?”
“Apollo Hospital.”
The phone was on speaker, and Skylar could hear the conversation clearly.
Skylar was shocked to hear that Jenny had been in a car accident.
She suddenly recalled an incident she had seen a few days ago. She had almost forgotten about it in recent days, and she had even forgotten about it when Joe returned today,
Now, this call brought it all back to her.
As Joe got out of bed to change clothes, he looked back at Skylar. “Let’s go to the hospital together.”
Skylar, still lost in thought, absently replied, “Okay.”
It only struck her later that she had agreed to go to the hospital where Jenny was–Apollo Hospital–and it was also where the Ruell family had been staying.
After Joe finished changing, he noticed Skylar’s distracted demeanor and raised an eyebrow. “Are you still tired from earlier?”
