Veronica had to admit that Yvonne had a point.
"Have you contacted Skyler?" asked Veronica.
"No. Why should I?" Yvonne snorted with ego.
"Okay. I'll help you contact someone to get you an appointment at Westcross Children Hospital." It was the most famous hospital in Bloomstead with the best doctors and equipment.
To give birth at a maternal and child care hospital was not a bad choice, but she had a hunch that Yvonne was going there for Skyler. Strange enough, such thoughts just suddenly came to her mind.
Matthew had asked Skyler to accompany Yvonne during the past few months after her broken relationship. In addition to his cheerful personality, Skyler was approachable, gentle and adept at cheering people up.
Perhaps, Yvonne has taken a liking to him because of his
gentleness?
"Yvonne, do you still... love Conrad?" Veronica tested the waters.
"I must be out of my mind to keep loving him. There's tons of men in this world."
"But it'll be difficult for you to find yourself a boyfriend when you have a child."
"I—" Yvonne stopped as she lowered her head and caressed her belly. After a moment of rumination, she said, "Not everyone dislikes women with kids. Look at Skyler. He keeps mentioning how good Monica is. It seems like he really likes her a lot."
Veronica fell into silence. What?
After keeping Yvonne company for a while, Veronica left the patient room to call Skyler.
"Hey, Roni! What's the matter?" He chuckled.
He's a great person, just a little playboy-ish and talkative.
"Yvonne wanted me to ask if she can have an obstetric check-up at Westcross Children Hospital."
"Why didn't she just ask me personally?" He could not understand.
"She bled and is now in the hospital."
"What? She should be in a stable condition since she's six months in. Where is she? I'll check on her."
Noticing his worries for Yvonne, Veronica gladly sent the address to him.
Half an hour later, Skyler arrived alongside Matthew without Sasha.
Skyler went into the room to talk to Yvonne whereas Veronica looked at Matthew. "Where's your friend?"
"She left." Noticing the displeasure on her darkened face, he approached her and primped her fringe. "Are you
jealous?"
"Excuse me?" She raised her eyebrow before snorting. "Who doesn't love a hot babe? If I were a man, I would like"
Before she could even finish her words, he pulled her into his arms."l don't like it, though." He wrapped his arms around her waist and responded in a gentle voice, "Every woman looks the same to me, but you're different. I can even see you in a crowd at first glance."
He was blurting sweet nothings without a prelude.
"God, the cringe." Veronica could not help but smile.
