Chapter 172
The doctor pushed open the door, took Jocelyn’s temperature, and asked about her physical condition.
Then, he turned to face Skyler and said, “Mr. Moore, the patient is fine now and can be discharged now!” Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Skyler was stunned as it was so sudden. Even a calm and composed person like him could not think clearly.
He thought about what he said to Jocelyn earlier and his expression suddenly became bad and his voice was stiff. “She hasn’t recovered yet so she can’t be discharged!”
The doctor thought that he was a family member that was too worried about the patient so he explained. “Even though the patient almost went into shock, it’s just the body’s response to stress. As long as she recovers, it’ll be no big deal!” Skyler had more to say but Jocelyn interrupted him. “Mr. Moore, there are too many germs in the hospital. Even if my body was originally fine, I might contract other diseases! I think being discharged is better!” His face changed slightly when he heard Jocelyn put it that way. “Then… let’s get you discharged. I’ll get someone to go through the paperwork for discharge!” The doctor smiled as he nodded and left.
Jocelyn peeked at Skyler’s expression which was not particularly good.
She was rather speechless since he was so awkward. Talking to him felt like she had to hold bricks in her hands to pave a way for and it felt like being stubborn against him would unlikely change him.
The person that Skyler appointed quickly settled the paperwork for discharge.
Jocelyn planned to go straight back to the hotel.
However, just as she walked out with Skyler, a car drove toward them and stopped in front of them.
Jocelyn raised her head to look at him and Skyler glanced at her coldly. “Get in the car. Why are you looking at me?”
Jocelyn pondered and said, “Mr. Moore, we’re not staying at the same hotel!”
Skyler’s tone was slightly cold. “Don’t go to your old hotel. Just go to May First Hotel!”
Jocelyn stopped in her tracks when he heard him say that.
She looked a little embarrassed. “Mr. Moore, it’s best if we kept our distance since our relationship causes problems!”
Skyler’s handsome face sank. “What’s our relationship? Why would it cause problems?” Jocelyn pursed her lips tightly. “I’m the competition’s designer and you’re the judge!”
Skyler’s face slightly changed. Just as he was about to say something, his phone rang.
He took it out to look at it while Jocelyn subconsciously looked too and saw the name on it.
Rhode’s name kept flashing on the screen. Skyler frowned in frustration and declined the call.
Jocelyn’s attitude became more estranged. “Mr. Moore, go tend to any matters you need to do. Thank you for today, and I can get back to the hotel myself!”
Mr. Moore started to get angry. “What do you mean you’re getting back to the hotel yourself? The matter with your allergies hasn’t even been investigated yet so do you wish to go through it again?”
Jocelyn frowned. “I’ll be careful this time!” “Is your caution credible?” Skyler’s tone was bitter. Jocelyn was about to defend herself when Skyler’s phone rang again. Skyler was on the verge of snapping so he was about to explode when he picked up the phone whilst thinking that it was Rhode who was calling again.
However, his face changed and his anger was suppressed when he saw the caller ID.
He picked up the call and his tone was incredibly relaxed. “Hello, brother!” Jocelyn looked at him with surprise. She had been with Skyler for so long but had no idea that he had an older brother.
A laughing voice came from the other end of the line. “Skyler, I’m back in the country. Are you free tonight? Let’s get dinner!”
Skyler glanced at Jocelyn and said with pursed lips, “I’m not in Mauve City now. I came to Greene City the day before you got back. I’ll call you when I get back, alright?” The person on the other line chuckled. “Alright, we’ll follow your timing since I’m free lately!” Skyler chatted a bit more with him and hung up. After he hung up, he opened the car’s door without saying another word. Jocelyn froze in place, confused about whether his gesture was for her to get into the car. At this moment, the security guard came over to give a reminder. “Sir, you can’t stop your car in front of the hospital!” Skyler ignored the security guard who then looked at Jocelyn. Jocelyn’s face flushed and quickly said, “We’ll leave now!”
She raised her head and looked at Skyler angrily and quickly got into the car.
Skyler snorted, closed the door, and got into the car from the other side.
When they were in the car, Skyler ignored Jocelyn and opened his laptop to work. Jocelyn did not want to upset him so she sent Lexie a message saying that she was returning to
the hotel and to get her to go there.
The car drove back to May First Hotel.
On the way, Skyler suddenly asked Jocelyn, “Who do you think is involved with this allergic matter?”
Jocelyn shook her head. “I don’t know, but…”
Skyler saw that she was hesitant and could not help but frown. “But what?”
Jocelyn replied truthfully, “But I heard Lexie say that Giada came to Greene City!” Skyler’s eyes hollowed. “Do you suspect it’s her?”
Jocelyn pursed her lips. “I just think it’s too much of a coincidence!”
Skyler’s face sunk. “I told you before that being kind to the enemy is cruel to yourself. Do you see the consequences now?”
Jocelyn frowned. “It’s just a suspicion, and this time isn’t necessarily Giada’s doing. Yuni was the one who personally brought me the bowl of congee!” Skyler looked at her and coldly snorted. “Jocelyn, you’re unbelievable for protecting the enemy!”
Jocelyn’s expression was getting worse and just as she was about to explain, Skyler’s face suddenly changed, and yelled, “Stop the car!”
