aring Paul defend Joe, Skylar didn’t press any further.

ere was nothing between them? Then, why did Joe rush to the hospital when Vera went there? Skylar Isn’t that naive.

eing Skylar just smile without saying anything, Paul felt uneasy. He could sense that something was off. s. Ruell coming to Fachington was purely coincidental. They also stayed at the same hotel by chance. I n guarantee there’s absolutely nothing between Mr. Martin and Ms. Ruell.”

ul’s assurance sounded a bit forced. After all, Joe had met Ver orning.

ul was sure that Joe had never been interested in Vera before, but his behavior these past two days is puzzling.

that so?” Skylar replied, but she didn’t ask further. Paul’s demeanor had already revealed enough,

&

ow high is his fever now?” she asked.

ul answered quickly, “It was over 100 degrees when I last checked, but I haven’t taken his temperature cently. I think it’s gotten worse.”

o you have any medicine for fever?”

es, Dr. Grey told me to bring some just in case.”

ylar nodded and said, “Go get the medicine, I’ll go check on him.”

proaching the bed, Skylar grabbed the thermometer nearby and took his temperature. It was 102 grees Fahrenheit.

ylar sighed. How could he not be in the hospital or taking any medicine with a fever like this? Did he nk he was made of steel? The flu wasn’t something to be taken lightly.

ddenly, Joe opened his eyes and looked up at her.

1. r. Ziegler called me, saying you have a fever. The flu is rampant here in Fachington. You and Natalie >bably caught the same flu, but your fever has lasted too long without breaking. You need to go to the spital immediately,” Skylar replied directly.

Joe frowned again. “Take medicine?”

He didn’t flat–out refuse but seemed to question it.

Skylar had never met someone so opposed to both hospitals and medicine. But having dealt with Joe before, she knew how to handle it this time.

“Do you really want to keep suffering, through this fever for the next few days? I read on the way here that this flu causes recurrent fevers for two to three days. It’s really tough. So, let’s take the medicine and get your fever down.”

As she spoke, Skylar’s tone softened, becoming gentler

When Joe heard her saying, “Let’s,” the heaviness he had been feeling all day suddenly lifted.

Skylar looked down at him, feeling like he was being quite shameless.

Just then, Paul entered the room with the medicine in hand. “Mrs. Martin, I got the medicine.”
