Skylar quickly defused the situation when she saw how offended Miranda was. “I was just kidding, Mom! Wait here while I go get you those ribs, okay?”
She decided to ask for directions to the cafeteria at the counter and overheard the nurses chatting excitedly.
“I heard Tobias’ mom has just been admitted into our hospital today! We’ve got cardiologists from all over the world over here! Did you see the flowers outside the Cardiology Department? It’s crazy!”
“The lives of the wealthy are worth more, I guess… I bet the director is stressed out of his mind after accepting such a high-profile client!”
“My friends from the Cardiology Department told me how handsome Tobias is. I can’t even imagine how many women he’s slept with! It’s such a shame that he’s already got himself a fiancée, and a pregnant one at that!”
The two of them were so carried away with their conversation that they didn’t even notice Skylar standing there.
The news hit her like a freight train and left her devastated.
So Tanya is still sticking to him like glue, huh… Tobias said he’d take care of things with her, but when? After Claudia’s surgery?
After finding out the directions to the cafeteria, Skylar took the elevator to the first floor.
Ding! The sound of the elevator doors opening was followed by a deep male voice.
“Where are you going?” Skylar looked up and saw Tobias standing in front of her.
After a brief exchange of glances, Skylar quickly looked away as she explained, “My mom called for me. I wasn’t following you or anything!” Considering how suspicious he is, I’ve got to explain myself clearly or he’ll get the wrong idea and think I’m following him! Well, I guess I can’t really blame him for being so paranoid. Given his position, he’s probably dealt with all sorts of liars on a daily basis! The naïve young boy who would readily believe everything people tell him is long gone!
