Good Novel
Chapter 719
Joe strolled over with his long legs. He moved at a leisurely pace.
Skylar nodded. “Yes, it’s much better. I’ve been applying ointment daily, so there shouldn’t be any scarring.”
Though injuries were minor compared to life itself, she still cared about her appearance. Scars on her forehead and hands would definitely affect her looks.
Before Skylar could finish her sentence, Joe swept her into his arms.
“I asked Dr. Stone. We’re cleared for marital activities.”
“What did you say?” Skylar stared at Joe in disbelief.
He actually asked Drake.
She had a check–up scheduled for tomorrow. How was she supposed to face
Drake now?
Before she could ponder further, Joe had already set her down on the bed. His warm breath brushed against her lips. “Focus.”
Since their intimacy began, Joe had always taken the lead. His dominance made it impossible to refuse him.
Skylar spent the entire night with no time or energy to think about how she would manage her hospital visit the next day.
They moved through the night, their bodies entwined until exhaustion overcame them.
As she trembled uncontrollably, Skylar, in a daze, asked, “Are you in love with
me?”
A drop of sweat fell at the corner of her eye. He held her close, feeling her tremors, and asked in return, “What did you just ask me?”
Skylar slowly regained her awareness and weakly shook her head. “It’s nothing.”
”וויו
carry you to the shower.” Joe didn’t press further. As always, he carried Skylar to the shower after their time together.
Skylar merely hummed in response.
After her shower, Skylar found herself unable to sleep.
Joe also had trouble sleeping.
Skylar sensed that Joe had something on his mind.
Sure enough, Joe spoke up. “Grandma wasn’t feeling well when she was at Avalon Residence. She would always fall sick whenever she went there, but this time, it seemed worse.”
Skylar immediately asked, “Did Grandma specify where she felt unwell? Did she see a doctor?”
“We have a family doctor, but they found nothing serious. They suspected fatigue from the long drive. Still, it didn’t seem right,” Joe said seriously.
Skylar couldn’t stay calm. “Did she go to the hospital afterward?” Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
Gloria’s health was fragile, so timely medical attention was crucial if something was wrong.
“We went to the hospital first. Don’t worry. She felt much better after leaving Avalon Residence,” Joe assured her.
Skylar breathed a sigh of relief. “She felt better after leaving?”
She appeared to have thought of something.
Almost as if reading her thoughts, Joe pulled out his phone and said, “Here’s a video of Avalon Residence that I had someone take. It covers almost every corner. Do you have the energy to watch it?”
The phrase “Do you have the energy” left Skylar momentarily speechless. After shooting him a look, she tapped the screen to start playing.
The video showed some sounds and glimpses of people. However, Skylar’s attention wasn’t on the people but rather on the decorations and furnishings in each area.
Avalon Residence was quite large, and almost every part of the house was shown except for two rooms.
“These two rooms aren’t in the footage,” Skylar pointed out.
Joe nodded. “Those two rooms belong to Uncle Derek and Uncle Garth. Their
rooms are usually off–limits to anyone.”
“There doesn’t seem to be any issue with the areas shown in the video,” Skylar confirmed.
Joe frowned. “If there were something unusual, it would likely be in their rooms, but there’s nothing out of the ordinary.”
“Could it really just be a coincidence?” Skylar wondered. She was puzzled.
Avalon Residence seemed normal on the surface. It was a place with excellent fortune, even better than Pearlhall Residence, where Gloria lived.
Such a place usually didn’t allow for significant disturbances from negative
items.
Gloria only felt unwell after returning, which meant that any negative items would likely have also affected the other residents.
But according to Joe, everyone else in the family was fine.
