Chapter 229
Chapter 229
"My child is sick, he is in dire need of the cord blood!"
Coralie was anxious. As a mother, she couldn't just watch her child suffer like this.
She didn't expect that after she had obtained Skylar Holland's sperm, a problem would arise on her
side.
"I know, Miss Chariott. President Lowell and the others have told me about your situation. We'll
definitely carry it out for you if everything is okay."
However, they were only responsible for the IVF. There was nothing they could do if the egg was
abnormal.
"Then..."
Coralie was disheartened.
She stood there and her mind was blank.
"Miss Chariott, since this plan is not going to work, let's do a bone marrow test as soon as possible and
think of other ways."
The doctor could only suggest this.
After all, there were only a few ways to cure leukaemia.
"I see."
Coralie felt wretched. The doctor said that the best cure was by using the cord blood, and bone marrow
transplant was only second to that.
On her way back, she made a detour to a familiar cake shop and bought Hendric a chocolate cake.
Although she liked strawberry cake, Hendric loved chocolate ones.
Coralie thought about it for a while, but she didn't buy one for herself.
While Coralie was queueing for the cakes, Skylar's car happened to pass by the shop.
He also knew this place. He knew that Coralie was fond of their strawberry cakes, so he couldn't help
looking in that direction. At a glance, he caught a very familiar figure.
"Stop!"
Skylar shouted. Before the car was properly parked at the side, Skylar had already rushed out of the
car.
However, he found that Coralie was neither in the queue nor was she in the crowd of people.
At this time, a woman with long black hair also got out of the car. She was Sabella Jakeman, the
daughter of the head of the Commercial Union. According to the TV, she was the woman who was
always seen together with Skylar.
Sabella looked at Skylar who stood there in a daze, then she glanced at the cake shop. She couldn't
help but ask, "President Holland, what's wrong?"
"Nothing. My eyes played tricks on me."
While Skylar was talking, he was still scanning the people around him.
He felt that he had seen the back of a person who looked like Coralie just now.
However, how could a dead person come back to life? Was the dream he had two nights ago so real
that he had an illusion?
When Skylar got in the car, Sabella said, "President Holland, there will be an auction tomorrow. My
father likes one of the oil paintings. He wants me to bid for it tomorrow. Can you go with me if you are
free?"
Sabella looked at Skylar with anticipation in her eyes.
Skylar looked at the woman in front of him. After a moment of silence, he said, "Okay."
"Thank you."
Sabella said as she smiled lightly.
Sabella was not a staff member at Skyton Corporation, but her company was very close to Skyton
Corporation. Besides, her home was on Skylar's way home too, so naturally she would come to
"disturb" Skylar every day.
After Sabella got out of the car, Jayson Lowell, who was sitting in the passenger seat, said, "President
Holland, Miss Jakeman's personality seems to have taken a turn from before."
"Is that so?"
Skylar looked out of the window, he didn't care too much about it.
"Yes, she seems to know what happened to you, and she is trying to imitate..."
Jayson didn't finish his words. When he saw Skylar's glum face from the rearview mirror, he
immediately tightened his lips.
From the time Sabella appeared until now, he had witnessed her changes too, even when he was just
Skylar's assistant.
In the beginning, Sabella knew Skylar from their cooperation in a government project. At that time, she
was an unreasonable young lady who was somewhat similar to his mother, Lillian Ford in certain
aspects. Skylar disliked her back then.
However, one day, she changed completely, and that elicited Skylar's change of attitude towards her.
Until recently, Sabella's words and actions were more and more like Coralie's, which made Jayson feel
that it was necessary to remind Skylar about this.
"It is just because of the project. When it is finished, I won't drive her home anymore."
Skylar knew what Jayson was thinking, so he explained himself.
"President Holland, she has passed away..." Jayson said.
"Jayson, you're talking too much."
How could Skylar not understand what Jayson said? Nonetheless, he found that he couldn't get over
Coralie at all.
Especially the night before yesterday, he even dreamed of doing that with Coralie... That dream was so
real that Skylar couldn't even believe that it was but a mere dream.
......
When Skylar arrived home, he walked into the empty house and went straight to the study room.
The table he bought for Coralie three years ago stayed untouched on the opposite side of his desk.
There were servants cleaning it every week, so it was without a speck of dust even until now.
"Baby, you're my only one..."
As soon as Skylar turned on his computer, his phone rang.
He took a look at it and found that it was from Timothy and he picked it up.
"Boss, my father asked me to bring you the drawing of your project with his company. He told me the
day before yesterday but I forgot it. Tell me where you are and I'll bring it to you."
When the phone was connected, Timothy said in one breath.
"Bring it to me tomorrow, I'm already home," he replied.
"No, no, no! My dad has just asked me, and I said I've already given it to you. Please, let me bring it to
you. Otherwise, he will definitely kill me when he finds the thing still at home."
Timothy knew that Skylar wanted to hang up the phone, so he said quickly.
Skylar had no choice but to say, "I'm at home. Come here yourself."
"Okay!"
Timothy replied after Skylar gave his permission. He quickly grabbed the drawing and drove the car to
Skylar's house.
It took only more than half an hour.
When Skylar opened the door and Timothy handed him the file, he saw that Skylar was about to close
the door. He hastened to say, "Brother, don't do that. I've come all the way here. Why don't you invite
me in for a cup of coffee?"
"Did I ask you to come here?"
Although Skylar didn't close the door, he still walked upstairs. He had a mountain of tasks waiting for
him to deal with.
"Yes, yes, you didn't. I thought I wanted to give it to you after leaving the club that day, but you stayed
the night. What can I do about it?"
Timothy was a cheeky man, so whatever Skylar said wouldn't matter to him.
"The coffee machine is in the kitchen; make yourself one. I still have work to do."
After saying that, Skylar went upstairs alone.
Timothy went to the kitchen and made himself a cup of coffee. After taking a few sips, he walked
around the living room before he went upstairs to the study room.
Seeing that Skylar was working in front of the computer, he was about to sit on Coralie's seat when all
of a sudden... From NôvelDrama.Org.
"Stand up!"
Skylar ordered.
Timothy was so scared that he didn't even manage to touch the chair and quickly got up. He nervously
looked at the seat and then at Skylar. "Boss, can't you let me sit here?"
"No one can sit there."
Skylar explained with his eyes still fixed to the screen.
Timothy puckered his lips and walked around in the study room when he spotted a photo on the
bookcase. It was an old photo, and Skylar looked very young in it. When Timothy caught the person
standing next to Skylar, he said casually, "Hey, you know this woman? I met her in the club a few days
ago."
