"Oh," the doctor replied.
Since Skylar hadn't informed them anything about visitors, it was unsurprising that the doctor would
brush it off.
However, no one had come to visit Skylar in the past few days.
Valerie went back to her room to pick her things up and leave, but she received a phone call from
Lillian halfway.
"Valerie, did you meet Skylar?"
Lillian asked expectantly.
Lillian was different from Valerie. She didn't think that it was a grave issue that her son couldn't control
his lower part of body anymore. She even felt that she was helping Valerie.
"Auntie Ford..." Valerie said into the phone and was in a fit of anger. She couldn't help saying, "Why
didn't you tell me that Skylar is now... paralyzed..."
Valerie struggled for her choice of words for a long time, but she still uttered the word "paralyzed".
How could she accept that Skylar was paralyzed?
When Lillian heard Valerie's words, she grew irritated at once. "What, paralyzed? It is only temporary.
The doctor has said that he will be able to recover after rehabilitation."
"Uhm, Auntie Ford, I didn't mean that."
Valerie veered the subject when she heard the palpable tone of displeasure from Lillian on the phone.
She knew that she had said something inexcusable.
"Valerie, you won't look down on my son, will you?" Lilian asked.
Lillian was not naive. She understood the meaning underlying Valerie's words.
She had always felt that it was an honor for Valerie that she tried to match Skylar with her, but now it
was obvious that Valerie was depreciating Skylar!
"No, no, Auntie Ford, it's just that it hadn't crossed my mind. I only asked it casually. I have just arrived
and I'm going to see Skylar now."
Valerie hastened to pacify her.
However, she still didn't feel good.
"Fine." Lillian spoke with dissatisfaction, "Valerie, don't you know the status of Skylar in A City? If he
didn't turn this way, would he like you? Do you know how many ladies are longing to marry him? If you
don't put in some effort, why should my son choose you? Am I right?"
Lilian was still holding her head up high.
"Yes, yes, Auntie Ford. You're right."
Valerie replied submissively.
She felt that Lillian's words made sense too.
On Jasper's side, Amenda's personality was much more obnoxious than Lillian's. It was also difficult for
her to marry into the Zac family. It was better to try Skylar's side first. If she succeeded, and with the
financial resources of the Holland family, they would definitely find a way to cure Skylar.
She hung up the phone.
Valerie calmed herself down, went downstairs, and walked to the rehabilitation room.
She stood there and watched Skylar painstakingly work on his rehabilitation under the guidance of the
doctor. She felt absolutely nothing when she was watching it. Her past feelings for Skylar had
disappeared ever since she knew the fact that he was disabled and couldn't have s*x with her.
However, she still mustered her sentiment before pushing the door open and entered. Tears were
welling up in her eyes when she saw Skylar.
"Skylar, why didn't you tell me what happened to you? It was your mom who told me about it."
Valerie walked forward as she spoke.
Skylar was focused on rehabilitation. When he turned his head and saw Valerie coming in, his
expressions transformed into one full of wrath in the blink of an eye. He bellowed, "Who let you in?!!
Get out!"
Skylar had always appeared in front of everyone in his best state; he had always been high and mighty.
The reason why he didn't tell anyone about this incident was that his pride didn't allow him to do so.
However, now Valerie appeared in front of him. Although she looked like she was going to cry, what
Skylar felt was only fury.
Valerie didn't expect that Skylar would react like this. When she heard his roar, she stood still and was
stunned.
"Skylar, I..." She opened her mouth.
"Get out. Who asked you to come? Do you want to die?"
Skylar didn't want anyone to see his useless self right now.
He had never felt this helpless before, however, no matter what he did, he still could not feel anything in
his legs.
He could solve everything easily ever since he was a child, but he met a dead end this time.
"Skylar, it doesn't matter. I won't mind," Valerie said.
Ignoring the fact that Skylar was angry, she still walked forward brazenly.
"Who the f**k cares about what you think? Get out of here!"
Skylar was infuriated. It was the first time for someone other than Jayson to see him like this.
Now that Valerie had seen it, he was outraged.
The doctor also advised her, "Please leave. You'll disturb the patient's rehabilitation."
Valerie had no choice but to go out. When she returned to the room, her mind was blank. Skylar used
to hate her but he hadn't scolded her as harshly.
Helplessly, Valerie picked up the phone and called her mother, Amelia Harington.
After Valerie told Amelia everything about Skylar, Amelia was silent for a moment before she said,
"Well, it's normal. Skylar is an esteemed figure in A city. If I was him, I wouldn't be able to accept this
situation too."
In fact, this was similar to a dissolute man who was impotent. If it was found out by the others, he
would also become angry from the embarrassment.
"Then what should I do? Mom, do you really think that he won't be able to stand up in the future? How
about his thing, is it going to be limp?"
Valerie was about to cry with the phone in her hand.
"Now that you've come this far, are you still thinking to seek that kind of pleasure from him?" Although
Amelia's voice was gentle on the other side of the phone, her words were sharp. "You should seize the
title of Mrs. Holland first. We will discuss the rest later. He can't have s*x with you, but he can't hold you
captive at home every single day, right? How will he know what you do during the day?"
Amelia had her eyes on Skyton Corporation.
"You're right."
Valerie nodded on the other side of the phone.
Just as Lillian thought, Amelia felt that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. She added, "Don't ever
show that you dislike him, and never sympathize..."
"I know, I can still handle this. "
Valerie interrupted Amelia before she finished her words. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Valerie was raised by Amelia because Hector was absorbed in his work. She was influenced by
Amelia, so she knew the ways of the world ever since she was a child. As compared to her peers, she
was always the precocious one.
"Okay, don't worry. Men thrive on their pride. You have to approach him step by step. He will definitely
accept you."
Amelia guided her.
After hanging up the phone, Valerie went to have lunch. In the afternoon, she did not disturb Skylar but
stayed in the room and contemplated what to do next.
"Knock, knock, knock."
Near evening, there was a knock on the door of Valerie's room.
Valerie opened the door and saw a doctor in a white coat standing outside the door.
"Hi, may I help you?"
"Miss Rae, President Holland asked me to inform you that you have to leave here today."
The doctor was only responsible for passing Skylar's words, so his tone was not as tough as how
Skylar said it to him.
"Today?" She repeated.
"Yes," the doctor nodded.
Valerie immediately said, "Doctor, this place is so far from the city area. What if something happens to
me when I'm on my way back? Can you let President Holland know that I will only stay for a night and
leave tomorrow?"
As she spoke, she pressed her palms together in front of her chest and pretended to plead. She looked
nervously at the doctor with her pitiful eyes.
She still had an important thing to do today, so she couldn't leave.
