You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie) -
Chapter 348
Coralie called Jayson on the phone.
"Jayson, can you tell me Skylar's address in E Country? I'm going to go meet him."
As soon as the call was connected, Coralie stated her purpose.
She recalled the last time, Skylar didn't let her see the place where he was getting his treatment. Instead, he just took her to a small town. He must have known that there might be something wrong with his surgery, so he didn't want Coralie to be worried about him.
Jayson was stunned to receive a call from Coralie, but he quickly said, "President Holland didn't tell me his treatment address before he left."
"Then do you know what's happening on his side now?"
Coralie felt that if Skylar was afraid that she would be worried about him, he might have told Jayson the truth.
"President Holland didn't tell me about the details of his surgery. I only know that the surgery has already ended."
Jayson answered honestly.
In fact, he really didn't know about Skylar's situation. However, from the previous day's call, he could hear that there was definitely something wrong with Skylar's situation or at least, it was not as expected. However, he knew that he could not tell Coralie about that.
"Really? Jayson, please don't lie to me. If you know anything, please tell me."
"I really don't know anything."
"Alright then..."
Coralie was a little disappointed but she felt that if Jayson really knew something, she still couldn't force him to tell her if he didn't want to say it.
After hanging up the phone, Coralie thought of another person.
She took a taxi and went straight to Harvey Felton's hospital.
Harvey was in his office at this time. Coralie went in and he stood up quickly and said, "What can I do for you, Miss Chariott?"
Although he asked her first, when Coralie saw him behaving like this, she knew that Harvey must have known something.
"Has Skylar contacted you recently?"
"No, he hasn't."
"I need to know about his situation. If you don't tell me about it, I will go abroad and search through the whole E country to replace him."
Harvey looked at Coralie's determined eyes and knew that she definitely meant what she said.
If he didn't tell her, Coralie might really go to E Country to look for Skylar.
Coralie was sure that Harvey knew something, because Harvey was a doctor. If anything happened to Skylar, apart from communicating with the experts on his own side, he would definitely talk to Harvey about it.
Looking at Coralie, Harvey hesitated for a moment and said, "He did contact me. After the operation, in the process of activating the nerve in his leg, an unexpected reaction occurred." "What do you mean by that?"
"In short, he would feel intermittent stinging pains and it happens very frequently."
Hearing this, Coralie immediately understood why Skylar suddenly hung up the phone yesterday. He was afraid that he couldn't control himself if the pain started, that was why he ended the call. "Then, is there no way to control the pain?"
"The doctor is still helping him. The fastest way to treat this pain is by using Pethidine, but it's easy for one to get addicted to it. Once he gets addicted to it, he might not be able to stop it for the rest of his life." "So, is that why he's enduring the pain?"
Hearing this, Coralie finally understood why Skylar didn't tell her about it and why he didn't even let her see him.
She could not help but feel distressed just by hearing it.
If she went to accompany Skylar, she was afraid that she would break down even before Skylar did.
"Yes, he has to endure it. He'll take Pethidine only when it's too difficult to endure."
Harvey nodded.
"How long will it take until he is fine?"
Coralie felt as if she had lost her soul. When she thought about Skylar's legs hurting frequently during the recovery period, she felt as if her heart was about to break.
All of this was because Skylar tried to save her...
"I don't know. I haven't contacted him for a month. I don't know about his current condition."
"Then you should contact him. Now... Don't tell him that I'm here."
Coralie requested.
She wanted to hear with her own ears about Skylar describing his condition to Harvey. She didn't want to be kept in the dark anymore.
Seeing that Coralie was so concerned about Skylar, Harvey kept silent for a moment, then grabbed his phone to call Skylar.
The phone rang for almost a minute before the call was connected.
"Harvey, what is it?"
The tone when Skylar spoke to Harvey was completely different from the tone when he spoke to Coralie.
His voice was very weak, and he was panting heavily at the moment.
"What's wrong? Were you having the pain just now?"
"Yes."
Hearing Harvey's question, Skylar then answered directly.
"How is it now? How frequently do you feel the pain? Has it gotten better?"
"Yes, it's a little better. When the condition is good, the pain happens around once in an hour, and approximately more than ten minutes a time."
"That's really an improvement, much better than before. Did the doctor say when you will recover?"
"They said that I need some time. Maybe two or three months."
Coralie sat by the side and listened quietly to Harvey and Skylar's conversation.
It turned out that Skylar had suffered such a thing. Now it was once an hour, and approximately more than ten minutes each time.
When she was pregnant, the pain lasted for only a few dozen seconds at a time, and she was about to break down back then. She couldn't imagine the pain Skylar had to endure for more than ten minutes at a time, yet it was even more frequent before...
"Coralie is with you, right?"
Listening to their conversation, Coralie suddenly heard Skylar mention her own name.
Hearing his words, Harvey and Coralie were astounded at once.
"Yes, she's here."
When Harvey knew that Skylar had seen through it, he could only admit it.
"Is she listening?"
"Yes, I'm here. Sorry, I was really worried about you..."
When Skylar asked, Coralie then admitted it.
She was a little nervous as she was afraid that Skylar would be angry.
However, Skylar said on the other end of the phone, "Don't be sorry. I shouldn't have kept it from you. I've made you worry. My situation is just like what I said just now, but it's much better now. I'll go back after a while. Don't be afraid, I'll go back well and fine."
"Okay."
Hearing Skylar's words, Coralie's tears fell onto her cheeks.
"Okay, don't cry. I'll go back well. You should take good care of Hendric and wait for me."
"Okay."
Coralie's voice was choked with sobs, and she couldn't reply to anything else.
"Okay, good girl, don't cry. I'll hang up."
Skylar was coaxing Coralie on the other end of the line.
"Okay, I'll wait for you to come back."
After Coralie finished speaking, Harvey then hung up the phone.
When he saw Coralie crying like that, he couldn't help but shake his head. "Skylar has been like this since he was a child. He always endures everything on his own."
"Yes..."
"But don't worry. The one who performed the surgery for Skylar is the world's top expert. There's no problem that they can't solve."
When Harvey saw Coralie being like that, he tried to comfort her.
"Okay."
Coralie nodded.
Skylar had said everything just now and Coralie had already known about what happened. She then said goodbye to Harvey. However, as soon as Coralie walked out of Harvey's office, she saw Xenia Lowell coming over.
