In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO
Chapter 104

Scenes from the past flashed across her mind and tears welled up in hereyes. She couldnt understand what was in her mind then that shedidn't see through the man earlier.

She had no one to depend on. Isolated and helpless, she had onlyherself.

Looking at Skylar who was tearing up with her reddened eyes in hisarms, Tobias thought it was because she was feeling exceedinglyuncomfortable 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 inhis heart.

“I'll send you to the hospital and tell the doctor not to give you aninjection. How about that?”

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

Laura, who was watching from the side, rolled her eyes in secret. Nowonder Tobias’ wedding has been postponed.

Ms. Hanson is such a pretty young lady with an affluent upbringing, ahighly educated background, and a cordial and elegant character. Shehas all the traits that a mature woman possesses; how enviable is that?Yet, for some reason, men like this kind of pretentious little girl andthere 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 someprominent family.

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

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

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

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

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

When they reached the hospital, it was already past midnight. Skylarwaited on the bench while Tobias was ready to line up for registrationand payment.

“I don't have health insurance,” Skylar stressed as usual

She had no medical card and therefore, she could only use thetemporarily filled-out booklet provided at the reception counter.Tobias replied nonchalantly, “Well, it happens that I don't have oneeither.”

Skylar closed her eyes. Tobias can probably buy any hospital at will.That's the harsh reality— the destitute can't afford medical insuranceand the rich aren't even bothered about such things.

She took out her identity card from her pocket and handed it over toTobias.

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

On second thought, he realized he made a mistake so he stroke it offand 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 wasonly utilizing his own time to play a game with this little girl.

In his eyes, Skylar was just an inexperienced and naive young girl.After registration and payment was made, the nurse took hertemperature and the reading was thirty-nine. She was having a fever.Downstairs, before they went up to the clinic, Skylar caught Tobias byhis 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 ofbeing infected at the clinics. Why don't you wear a mask? Theconvenience store in the hospital should be selling them.”

Tobias was very surprised indeed. Since when does Skylar start to careabout me? She was the person who would only order a cup of coke forherself.

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

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