Chapter 249

When they reached the door to Chad Doherty’s room, Skylar abruptly changed her mind. “Let’s go see Mrs. Doherty Senior first.”

Frank was stunned for a moment before he responded, “Okay.”

They then moved in another direction. As they were about to enter the room, a maid came out and greeted Frank respectfully.

“I just followed the doctor’s instructions and gave Mrs. Doherty Senior medicine, but

she’s still uncomfortable. She keeps saying she has a headache and leg pain,” the maid informed worriedly.

Frank nodded. “Okay, go ahead with your work.“‘

When he opened the door and went in, he turned back to Skylar and stated, “Grace has been like this for a while. She often complains of headaches and leg pain.”

“Did the medicine prescribed by the doctor have no

fect after she took it?” she

“It can only relieve her headache symptoms.” Frank sighed, obviously helpless.

After walking in, they saw a haggard old woman with a pale face and a lot of gray hair. Grace Tanner appeared skinny as she lay on the bed under the quilt.

She didn’t notice them entering while they were talking. She kept her eyes closed,

frowned, and bit her lip tightly.

As the three of them observed Grace, they noticed that she was trembling slightly.

Frank walked to the bed and stared at Grace, who was still enduring great pain despite being asleep. His eyes turned red.

Joe stood behind Skylar, watching her observe things calmly.

Suddenly, someone opened the door and walked in.

“Dad? Do we have guests… M–Mr. Martin.”

Frank frowned as his youngest son, Nigel Doherty, entered unexpectedly. “Go

downstairs and wait.”

“Ah, okay.” Nigel glanced at Joe. Then, he looked at Skylar, feeling a little curious

about her.

After he walked out, Frank explained, “Skye, Gloria asked me not to tell anyone about you and Joe until she formally announces it. So, I’m not going to introduce you to my family for now.”

“It’s okay.” Skylar nodded gently, unconcerned about it.

He then turned to Joe. “Sit down and relax, Joe.”

Joe nodded slightly and sat by the side.

“Skye, can you see what is happening?” Frank asked nervously.

Skylar walked to the walk–in closet nearby. One wall of the walk–in closet was transparent, allowing her to see what clothes were hanging within. Her attention fell on a traditional dress.

“Is this the traditional dress a sollectible Mrs. Doherty Senior bought?” Skylar asked.

Frank looked over. He was puzzled as to why Skylar had suddenly inquired about the

traditional dress.

He shook his head and answered, “That traditional dress isn’t a collectible. Nigel

gave it to Grace on her birthday.

“She liked it very much and wore it often before. But she has been in poor health for the past two days and has kept it in the closet.”

It appeared delicate and was a rare handmade work, with a pattern that wasn’t

commonly seen.

Joe glanced over, then stood up and walked to Skylar. “Is there something wrong.

with this traditional dress?”

“Something is wrong with it?” Frank’s eyes widened in disbelief.

“I think so.” Skylar opened the walk–in closet and took out the traditional dress.

The gold threads and stringed pearls on the traditional dress shone brightly under

the lights. Because of that, people wouldn’t pay much attention to its patterns.

At first glance, the patterns appeared delicate and exquisite against the backdrop of pearls and gold threads.

However, the pattern was a seal full of negative energy. Otherwise, the pearls on it wouldn’t have remained so dazzling throughout the past century.
