You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie) -
Chapter 333
Ten days after New Year's Day, Howard was finally sentenced to life in prison for his crimes, such as breaking into someone's house and hurting people with a knife. It was also because he had escaped for many years after the crime and during the time he was out, he had committed many other crimes.
After listening to the police's explanation, Coralie realized the reason behind Howard's actions, where he had fled for five years, was despair.
He wouldn't let Coralie live peacefully even if he went to jail.
Fortunately, he was sentenced to a lifetime in prison.
Coralie thought that the matter would be over once and for all.
Skylar was going overseas in a few days to receive his treatment. Coralie had been packing his luggage for the past few days.
Although she was forced to be on leave, she didn't dare to tell Skylar about it. She was afraid that he would be worried about her.
After all, Skylar had already used his power to suppress the critics of the colleagues in her office.
"Wifey, when I come back, we'll buy a new house. You can decide on the decoration style then."
Skylar sat there, watching Coralie pack his things for him bit by bit.
"It's pretty nice here."
"I had this house to live on my own. I didn't plan to live here after getting married."
Skylar's meaning was already very clear.
When he returned, they would tie the knot.
Skylar had already hinted at her many times before. However, because of his leg injury, he definitely wouldn't mention their marriage at this time.
He had to wait until the operation was successful.
"I'll wait for you to come back." Coralie understood what he meant. She got up and took out a set of dark blue indoor clothes from the wardrobe and asked, "Do you want to bring this along?" "It's up to you."
Skylar didn't need to pack up. If he needed anything, he could just buy them. Since Coralie wanted to do so, he just let her do whatever she wanted.
"I know that you don't need to take anything with you, you can buy it over there, but I just wanted to do something for you."
Coralie uttered as she put the indoor clothes in the suitcase.
She knows that Skylar could buy anything he needed no matter wherever he went.
"Of course, the new ones are not going to be as comfortable as these."
"How about... I'll go with you." Coralie spoke again, but after she said it, she immediately knew that she said the wrong thing. "I just simply said it. I'll wait for you to come back." "Yes, wait for me to come back."
Skylar could see Coralie's contradicting emotions, but he didn't refuse, because he was afraid.
He was afraid that if the operation failed this time, everything might return to how it was before.
This time, Skylar had very high expectations for this operation.
"By the way, I'll go back to the Holland family in the afternoon later. I'll be back in the evening."
Skylar was going to send his greetings to Lillian before he left the country. After all, it was going to be more than half a year, so he had to at least inform her.
"Okay, do you need... me to go with you?"
Coralie asked symbolically.
She hadn't seen Lillian for a long time already. However, Coralie knew that their relationship would only become worse if they met again.
In Lillian's eyes, not to mention Skylar's lower body was unable to move, even if he was paralyzed, or even in a vegetative state, Coralie was still not worthy of him. "No, you should stay here. I'll be back very soon."
Skylar knew that it was not good for Coralie and Lillian to meet.
Skylar returned to the Holland family in the afternoon.
He arrived at the door in a wheelchair, and then the servant pushed him in.
"Why have you become like this? Oh my god, that woman must be crazy!"
As soon as Skylar entered the house, he heard Lillian's exaggerated voice.
He went into the living room and saw Queenie, and Lillian as well, who was dressed in thick indoor clothes.
When the two of them saw Skylar entering the room, they both shut their mouths at the same time. Their gazes towards Skylar were a little awkward.
"My son, you are back."
Lillian greeted Skylar first.
"Skylar, your leg injury... is it more serious than what you described?"
Queenie was a little surprised to see Skylar sitting in a wheelchair.
Lillian had her pride and ego. She previously told Queenie that Skylar's leg only had a minor injury, but now that Queenie saw him in a wheelchair, how could it be just a minor injury? "It's just a minor injury." Lillian couldn't keep her face straight as she quickly winked at Skylar, "Am I right, my son?"
"No, it's not."
Skylar was quite upset when he saw Lilian acting as if he was an embarrassment to her.
His denial made both Lillian and Queenie feel awkward.
Queenie then quickly changed the topic. "Skylar, what's your relationship with that Coralie? I saw the news a few days ago, that woman is not a good person..."
"I do not need your comments regarding my woman."
Before Queenie could finish her words, Skylar immediately interrupted her.
He used the words "my woman" which directly stated his relationship with Coralie.
"Yes, yes, I was just casually talking about it, but you're such an excellent man, so don't get fooled so easily by a woman..."
Queenie was doing this out of her own goodwill.
Originally, she had no prejudice against Coralie. However, now, the matter between Wayne and Jamie, in addition to Valerie and Lillian's comments, and the audio recording from the news, made Queenie feel that Coralie was not worthy of Skylar.
Skylar glanced at Queenie and said, "Auntie Queenie, I thought you were smarter than Auntie Elsa and wouldn't believe these unnecessary gossips. It seems like I was wrong."
His words were cold, and his tone was as cold as ice. He didn't say anything else, but Queenie immediately stopped talking.
Although Queenie was like this, Lillian, who was beside her, was not afraid at all. "Skylar, are you still with Coralie?"
"Mom, I came back to tell you that I will be going abroad in a few days and may come back after half a year. In this half a year, I hope that you will behave yourself. Don't care about anything you shouldn't and don't bother people whom you shouldn't disturb."
Skylar did not answer her question.
But his words had already explained everything.
Who could be the one she should not disturb if not Coralie?
Hearing her son say such a thing to her in front of Queenie made Lillian feel even more embarrassed, she immediately said, "Skylar, Coralie made you this way, why are you still not giving up on her? Are you only willing to give up after she kills you?"
"Mum, it's my own business about who I want to marry. You've seen that Skyton Corporation can grow without anyone else's help. You just need to live a good life. Enjoy your comfortable life and travel around."
It was impossible for Skylar and Lillian to argue too much. No matter what, Lillian was still his mother.
"You are my son. You must obey me!"
Lillian was exasperated.
If there wasn't anyone else there, it wouldn't be a big deal. In front of Queenie, it would be so shameful if she couldn't even discipline her own son!
"I've said all that I wanted to say. If you don't listen, I'll take care of it in my own way then."
Skylar didn't want to argue with Lillian, so he asked the servant who had pushed him in to push him out of the house again.
This time, he didn't even stay in the Holland's house for ten minutes.
"Skylar!" Looking at Skylar acting this way, Lillian gnashed her teeth in anger. "What kind of sorcery does that Coralie do? My son was allured by her that he had lost himself. Do you know why he became like that? It's because there was a time when Coralie jumped off a building and my son tried to save her!"
Lillian did not know about Coralie's abduction. She only eavesdropped on a phone call and knew that Skylar was trying to save Coralie from falling off the building.
