In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO
Chapter 105

Skylar sat feebly on the small round stool and almost didn’t have thestrength to open her eyes.

The doctor auscultated her lungs and examined her throat. Then, heprescribed a routine blood test for her.

Upon hearing the words “blood test”, Skylar grimaced and gave Tobiasa look, asking for his help.

Skylar had experienced finger-prick blood tests before and it was evenmore painful than taking an injection. The minute the needle prickedinto your flesh, it would be terribly excruciating.

Tobias patted Skylar's shoulder. “Let's go now. We still need to waitanother thirty minutes for the blood test result later. If we dawdle somemore, the sky would turn bright soon. Come on, be a good girl,alright?”

Listening to his coaxing in a deep and husky voice, especially the words“good girl”, Skylar could feel the ticklish sensation in her ears.

As though possessed, she nodded unwittingly.

Skylar's phone was lying in the pocket of her pants and when she satdown for the blood test, it dug into her thigh, making heruncomfortable. So, she took it out and handed it over to Tobias.Tobias took the phone and it was a peculiarly abrupt sight to see itspinkish casing in his palm.

Skylar closed her eyes as she was afraid to see the syringe needle. Hertimid expression made Tobias chuckle softly.

This woman can be extremely bullheaded at times and yet she's soskittish at this very second. It was unfathomable for him what was soscary about such a tiny affliction.

As the needle pricked into her finger, she cried out in anguish. It was soagonizing as though she had been ripped apart.

Tobias helped to press the cotton on her finger to stop the bleeding.Skylar was particularly weak at the moment and she had just beenthrough a round of great “torture”.

She rested her head on Tobias’ shoulder.

While they waited for the blood test result, Skylar's phone which wasstill in Tobias’ palm started ringing. A series of numbers without a nameappeared on the screen.

Following that were a few text messages that popped up.

Skylar, what's your relationship with that man? Don't lie to me. I'mserious about our marriage.

Reply me, will you?

Did you change your mind because of money? Wasn't the threehundred thousand I gave to you enough?

I'll go to Wesley's house tomorrow.

Looking at these series of text messages, the gaze in Tobias’ eyesdeepened. And I thought I'm already annoying and demandingenough.

Who could have expected this kind of pestering? Regardless, there wasno way Tobias would be sending her text messages non-stop as thisman did. His affection was not so intense and insane.

Skylar opened her eyes and asked with a rather hoarse voice, “Who issending me texts at this hour?”

Tobias quietly put the phone into the pocket of his trousers andanswered nonchalantly, “Don’t bother about it. It's just some spamtexts.”

The result of the blood test was finally released- it was inflammation.After collecting the medication, Tobias and Skylar left the hospitalSkylar was experiencing a terrible headache, making her feel as thoughher head would explode any second. In the meantime, she was utterlystrained and drained of all strength. Her entire body was awfullyexhausted.

“My head hurts so much. Am I going to die?” Skylar rubbed her owntemples as she endured the agony.

Tobias who was driving turned around and shot a gaze at her. “I haveheadaches very often and there's no other way. Hang in there till it'sover and you'll be okay.”

In fact, Skylar was hoping to get some consolation from Tobias.However, it turned out that his way of comforting others was toopeculiar and even more useless than “drink more warm water”.

Tobias didn't tell Skylar that he suffered from severe spondylopathywhich often caused nerve compression. Therefore, experiencing aheadache was commonplace for him and no amount of painkillerscould help.

When they reached home, it was already dawn. The sky barelybrightened up and light rays could be vaguely seen.

Tobias opened the car door and asked, “Are you able to walk?”

Skylar answered with a nod. “I can still manage.”

Tobias looked at her face which was grimacing in agony until herfeatures were all stitched together with her eyes tightly shut.

Skylar got off the car and before she knew it, her feet lifted off theground as Tobias had carried her up on his shoulder like he wascarrying a stack of heavy loads. It was no way near the romanticapproach of being carried in a prince charming’s arms.

It was at that moment that Skylar felt like she was a gunnysack with fiftykilograms of potatoes inside.

Laura had already turned in and Tobias carried Skylar to the bedroomand put her down in bed.
