Valerie was considered a beauty. For a doctor who burrowed himself in piles of books every day and who rarely met with beautiful women, he was not immune to it.

When the doctor saw her say this, he could only respond, "I'll tell President Holland for you."

"Great, thank you."

Valerie smiled demurely.

She knew what kind of man she was going to deal with and what kind of tactics worked on them.

Seeing her smile, the doctor felt that he was even more obliged to do so, so he turned around and went back to the rehabilitation room.

Skylar was keeping on with his rehabilitation in the room. Last time, when Franklin flirted with Coralie, he initially thought that he could deal with the act of separating himself from Coralie.

He presumed that even if Coralie had a boyfriend in the future and married another man, he would only watch from a distance and would not say anything about it.

However, when he heard Franklin telling Coralie that he was single, he found out that he couldn't accept it at all!

How could he accept that Coralie would marry another man in the future?

"President Holland."

The doctor came from Valerie's room to report to Skylar.

"Is she gone?" He asked.

"She said it's too late today. This place is too far from the city area, so she'll leave tomorrow."

The doctor passed on Valerie's words to Skylar.

Skylar felt that since Valerie had said that she was going to leave, he shouldn't push her too much. She would leave after tonight anyway, so he said, "Okay."

That night, he finished his rehabilitation program and went back to his room in a wheelchair.

He was ready to go to bed after taking a shower.

His rehabilitation consumed a great deal of his energy and he would be exhausted as he returned to his room every day. However, he always stared at Coralie's phone number in a daze. When Valerie came today, he was angry and irritated, but he couldn't help wondering what he would do if Coralie came today.

He couldn't throw a tantrum at Coralie, could he?

Absent-mindedly, Skylar accidentally pressed the number on the screen.

Even he didn't notice it himself.

"Hello?"

Soon, the call was answered. It was Coralie's vague voice. She seemed to be sleeping, but her voice was a little hoarse.

When Skylar heard Coralie's voice, he realized that he had called her. He was rattled and wanted to hang up the phone, but he couldn't stop his hand in the act...

The phrase "I miss you" was stuck in his throat; he couldn't say it.

On the other side of the phone, Coralie was having a fever and had just taken the antipyretic pills which made her sleepy. Since Sklar was silent for a long time, she fell asleep directly without hanging up the phone.

On the other side of the phone came the slight and even breathing sound of a woman.

Skylar took the phone and said, "Dear, I miss you."

The reason he spoke was because he knew Coralie was asleep.

There was no response from the other side of the phone.

Skylar found that he was going crazy. He listened to Coralie's breathing through the phone and a wave of bliss washed over him, as if she was just by his side.

"Honey, you have to wait for me. When I'm well, I'll go pick you up."

Skylar held the phone and muttered to himself.

At that time, Jayson was sent to pick Coralie up. Skylar had initially planned to go by himself, but his legs had not recovered yet. When Skylar knew that he was paralyzed, he had almost gone crazy. He felt that dying was a better option.

That period was a tumultuous time for him, but he didn't forget that Coralie was still waiting for him. The thought that he couldn't leave Coralie with Yohan was his pillar of strength the entire time.

"Knock, knock, knock."

When Skylar was listening to the phone call with Coralie, there was a knock on the door.

Every night, the doctor would come to his room to check on him. He instinctively thought that it was his doctor. After hesitating for a while, he couldn't bring himself to hang up the phone. Instead, he put the mobile phone on the bed and went to open the door in his wheelchair.

Skylar didn't know that Valerie was staying next to him.

When Skylar opened the door, he saw Valerie standing outside. Her hair was damp and she was wearing a bathrobe, looking like she had just come out of the shower.

"Skylar..."

Valerie had already asked the doctor before and knew that they would come to ask about Skylar's condition around this time, so she took the initiative to come first and let the doctor come later. The doctors understood it very well.

Seeing Skylar open the door, Valerie went straight in.

"Get out."

Skylar blocked the door with his wheelchair, trying to stop Valerie from coming in.

"Skylar... I don't mind it. Really, I'm willing to be with you."

Valerie looked at Skylar. The moonlight shone on his face, and his handsome appearance became even attractive. She suddenly thought that Skylar was such a handsome man that she might be willing to accept him even though they could not have s*x.

"Get out of here."

Skylar was in a good mood because of Coralie's phone call, so he didn't show a harsh attitude towards Valerie.

"Skylar, I'm willing to give it to you..."

At this time, she naturally wanted to replace out the truth about Skylar.

Skylar did not expect Valerie to do this at all. He looked at her scornfully and said, "At the very least, you are the daughter of the Rae family. What will your parents think if they know that you are doing such a thing? Hurry and go back to your room. Leave tomorrow!"

He turned the wheelchair around, unwilling to look at Valerie again.

In fact, there was another purpose for Valerie to do this. She wanted to see if Skylar would show any bodily reaction.

In this way, she could estimate how much effort she should put on him.
