Fell Into His Love Trap (Skylar and Tobias)
Chapter 104

Scenes from the past flashed across her mind and tears welled up in her eyes. She couldn't understand what was in her mind then that she didn't see through the man earlier. She had no one to depend on. Isolated and helpless, she had only herself.

Looking at Skylar who was tearing up with her reddened eyes in his arms, Tobias thought it was because she was feeling exceedingly uncomfortable or afraid of getting an injection.

Tobias, who was iron-hearted, despised seeing women cry. However, the way Skylar was holding back her tears touched the softest spot in his heart.

"I'll send you to the hospital and tell the doctor not to give you an injection. How about that?"

Skylar looked up at Tobias. In that instance, the usually aloof and distant face of his was kindling a gentle glow.

Laura, who was watching from the side, rolled her eyes in secret. No wonder Tobias' wedding has been postponed.

Ms. Hanson is such a pretty young lady with an affluent upbringing, a highly educated background, and a cordial and elegant character. She has all the traits that a mature woman possesses; how enviable is that?

Yet, for some reason, men like this kind of pretentious little girl and there is no exception with Tobias. It's such a shame.

It's just some minor illness but look at the way she's fawning. Seriously? She's not even one of those over-coddled heiresses from some prominent family.

Laura was mocking Skylar secretly. Dirt-poor maiden but with a princess-like fragile body.

Skylar nodded eventually. She was feeling very unwell throughout her body. All her joints were aching and it wasn't even this bad when she was having the meat fondue.

It was probably the result of having sweated profusely and later blustered by the cool breeze.

On the way to the hospital, Skylar wasn't seated in the passenger seat but was lain in the backseat. Coating her was a warm orange Hermès blanket with a faint scent of the car fragrance on it.

It was a blanket Tobias found in the trunk of his car and Skylar was covering herself with it very meticulously lest any part of it unraveled again.

When they reached the hospital, it was already past midnight. Skylar waited on the bench while Tobias was ready to line up for registration and payment.

"I don't have health insurance," Skylar stressed as usual.

She had no medical card and therefore, she could only use the temporarily filled-out booklet provided at the reception counter.

Tobias replied nonchalantly, "Well, it happens that I don't have one either."

Skylar closed her eyes. Tobias can probably buy any hospital at will. That's the harsh reality— the destitute can't afford medical insurance and the rich aren't even bothered about such things. She took out her identity card from her pocket and handed it over to Tobias.

Tobias took a glance at Skylar's picture on her identity card. She was probably only sixteen or seventeen years old when the picture was taken, which looked much younger than she was at the moment. Tobias filled out Skylar's name and identity card number on the booklet and at the age column, he penned down habitually: Thirty-five!

On second thought, he realized he made a mistake so he stroke it off and wrote "twenty" on it.

He couldn't avoid the fact that he was fifteen years older than Skylar. This age gap was rather huge.

Sometimes Tobias' logical sense would keep telling him that he was only utilizing his own time to play a game with this little girl.

In his eyes, Skylar was just an inexperienced and naïve young girl.

After registration and payment was made, the nurse took her temperature and the reading was thirty-nine. She was having a fever.

Downstairs, before they went up to the clinic, Skylar caught Tobias by his hand from behind to stop him.

Tobias looked at her in puzzlement. "I have already registered for you. Are you still afraid?"

Skylar shook her head and reminded Tobias, "There's a high chance of being infected at the clinics. Why don't you wear a mask? The convenience store in the hospital should be selling them." Tobias was very surprised indeed. Since when does Skylar start to care about me? She was the person who would only order a cup of coke for herself.

He shrugged. "It's okay. Let me go with you."

Tobias went into the consultation room together with Skylar. Since it wasn't the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department, men were allowed.
