You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie)
Chapter 28

"You don't have to." Skylar Holland replied.

"Do you already have something to eat for lunch, or do you plan to go out?" Coralie Chariott asked.

Coralie just wanted to thank him, but if he had other plans, she would not force him.

"No I don't." he replied.

Skylar took out the tablet computer and sat on the sofa to deal with his business.

Coralie put away the cutleries and stood next to him, and asked, "If you don't have anything particular you would like to eat, I'm going to buy whatever I replace. I remember that you like to eat vegetables like eggplant."

"Coralie Chariott!", Skylar suddenly stood up. Enraged, he growled, "If you are trying to show that you still remember the past and my preferences, I advise you to stop that. It is all in the past. Remember that I married you to bring luck to my family. Don't bother with all these funny ideas."

His rage left Coralie's mouth agape in disbelief.

She wanted to defend herself, but she knew that she was wrong after all. "I'm sorry, I won't cross the line in the future. I'll do my part and just be your good-luck-bride. Only when you need me, I'll show up. I'll go replace a realtor." she said.

She stood in front of Skylar, affirming their contractual relationship.

"In fact, he just helped you out of convenience. Don't overthink it. He actually does not need you to repay him."

Coralie laughed at herself.

"What? Are you addicted to spending money? After realizing that it's good to be rich, you regretted dumping me back then. Now you want to seduce me and formally become Mrs. Holland so you can get more money?" he said.

Skylar looked at her. Although he said such ruthless words, he did not look down or ridicule her. Instead, his eyes were full of anger.

He did not even realize that he was looking forward to get closer to Carolie, but he was afraid at the same time.

"I won't repeat it in the future. I'll leave your house right away. President Holland, if you need anything, please call me." Coralie replied.

After Coralie finished speaking, she went back into the room, changed her clothes, and went out with her small bag containing her belongings.

It was almost nine o'clock now, and the real estate agency should be open soon.

When she was about to leave, Coralie saw that Skylar was still sitting on the sofa at the tablet. She wanted to say that she was leaving, but she decided against it and swallowed her words.

Her heart ached.

She obviously did not intend to do what Skylar had speculated. What she had in mind was that Skylar got injured because of her, so she thought of preparing a meal to repay him. That was all.

This time, Coralie learned from her mistakes. She spent twice the amount on rental and chose a better neighborhood to stay in. The house was also relatively bigger, as it had two-rooms of 60 square meters. Her mother and brother can stay here when they get discharged from the hospital in the future.

After agreeing on the price, her mobile phone rang when she was signing the contract.

She took out her mobile phone and saw an unknown number on the screen. She was relieved but a little disappointed.

"Hello." she said.

"Hello, is this Wayne Chariott's sister?" the person on the phone queried.

"I am." Coralie answered.

Coralie had heard this sentence before, it was usually bad news.

"I am calling from the hospital. Your brother hurt one of the nurse in the hospital. The police had to restrained him. We hope that you can come over now."

With that one sentence, Coralie's world collapsed again.

However, she did not believe that her brother would hit others for no reason.

When Coralie rushed to the hospital, several policemen had been waiting for her in Wayne's ward.

"Officer, could you tell me what's happened with my brother?"

Coralie asked politely.

"He gave a nurse on duty a heavy beating. The nurse is only in her early twenties, and now she had to get stitches on her face."

Before the police could speak, a nurse nearby spoke out first as she glared at Wayne fiercely.

"Pooh! If she hadn't been despicable, why would I hit her? You all have no evidence and are talking nonsense, spreading rumors." Wayne refuted.

When Wayne heard this, he could not sit still. He stood up and wanted to beat her again.

"Behave yourself!" a police officer sternly said.

The police officers held Wayne down.

One of the police officers told Coralie, "It's exactly what you heard. No matter what the reason is, your brother shouldn't have beaten other people. Moreover, he is a man. It is cruel for him to beat up a young lady."

Judging from the expression on the police officer's face, Coralie understood that they were standing on Wayne's side to an extent.

But the fact was that he hit someone. Someone got injured and that was undeniable. It was wrong to do so.

"I'm sorry. My brother usually doesn't behave like that. How can I compensate for the trouble he caused?"

Coralie apologized sincerely. After all, she was just an ordinary person, she had no intention of arguing further.

"How about this, when the nurse's family arrive, you can try talking to them and see if they are willing to settle it privately. After all, he did hurt someone and it is not right."

Settling it privately, meant giving money as compensation.

"Okay, I'll ask them later." she replied.

At that moment, Coralie was really grateful that Skylar had given her such a large sum of money.

Otherwise, she would not dare to agree on a private settlement.

"Sister, we dont have to settle anything privately with them! At most, I'll just go to jail!"

As soon as Wayne heard that money was involved, he immediately refused.

"Wayne! What are you talking about? Do you know that if you go to prison, your life is over. Companies won't hire you if they see that you have a criminal record." Coralie said. After more than ten years of hard work, he finally got into a good college. She could not bear to ruin her brother's future because of this.

"Hmph! How can a scum like him have a promising future?" the nurse snorted.

"You!" Coralie snapped.

The nurse started to get on Coralie's nerves. Just as she was about to lose her temper, the police ordered, "All of you, out!"

The nurses glared at Wayne and Coralie as they slowly left the room.

Seeing the nurses leave the room, Coralie asked Wayne, "Wayne, what did they say? Why did you hit them?"

"I just didn't like them and felt like beating them!"

Wayne said.

But Coralie could not believe what her brother said. She knew her brother well. He was a sensible child. It must have been something the nurses said that triggered him to hit them. "Come on. Tell me. I'll be more confident when I go out to negotiate with the nurse's family later."

Coralie patted Wayne on the shoulder and persuaded him.

Wayne thought for a while and still said, "I just want to beat them up!"

The policeman could not stand it anymore. "You're Wayne's sister, aren't you? It seems that those nurses said that you're a mistress, that you slept with an old man to fund for your brother's stay in the hospital."

The police were blatantly crude. In a few words, he basically reenacted what the nurses had said that provoked Wayne.

At that moment, another policeman came in, informing them "The family member of the victim has arrived. Who will come out to talk to them?"
