Skylar immediately realized that Joe was still uncertain about his own identity. He was worried whether he was really Joe Martin.
Seeing him filled with doubt, Skylar remained firm. "From the day I confirmed that you were Joe, you became Joe. You are not Ned Sowle. So, it's you that I'm committed to, not the name you currently go by."
Upon hearing this, Joe's eyes darkened as if a storm was brewing in them, dark clouds churning with intensity. His gaze was so intense that he looked like he could almost devour her.
Joe thought to himself, "She's committed to me?"
They locked eyes for a long time, and Skylar's heart pounded rapidly.
A sudden call broke the silence, pulling them back to reality.
Joe answered the call on his phone.
"Mr. Sowle, Ms. Reese has attempted suicide! Please come to the hospital quickly!"
The urgency in the caller's voice changed Joe's expression. He stood up and said, "I'll be right there." Then, he looked at Skylar. "Remember what you said today."
With that, he strode out quickly.
Skylar had faintly heard the words "attempted suicide." But why would Rosa suddenly attempt suicide?
…
At the hospital, Rosa lay pale on the hospital bed, having been unconscious for over an hour.
