Chapter 338
In the hospital, Jenny found herself in the intensive care unit as soon as she woke up. However, there were only medical staff around. She felt disappointed.
Early the next morning, Paul came to visit her. Seeing that it wasn’t Joe, Jenny felt a bit löst and asked,
Where’s Joe?”
She had hoped that the first person she’d see after waking up from the surgery would be Joe.
Hence, she felt disappointed not to see him. She’d had a major operation. She’d thought that Joe would
be worried and stay by her side.
But if he wasn’t at the hospital, it was very likely that he was with Skylar.
Paul saw that Jenny was feeling down. He immediately said in a gentle voice, “Mr. Martin didn’t sleep much the night before. He spent the whole day at the hospital waiting for your surgery to end.
“After confirming your surgery was successful, he went back to the hotel to rest. I’ll inform him that you’ve woken up shortly.”
Hearing Paul’s explanation, Jenny felt relieved. Even though she was a bit weak, she still asked the question she’d been curious about. “Does Joe really like Skylar?”
Over the years, so many people had tried to get close to him, but he’d rejected them all. He hadn’t gotten married all these years. Yet, he’d agreed to marry Skylar.
Although it had been Gloria’s request, no one could force Joe if he didn’t want to do something himself.
Jenny’s emotions fluctuated as she delved deeper into the whole situation.
Paul paused for a moment. He didn’t realize it at first. But now, he sensed that Jenny might have feelings
for Joe that extended beyond sibling affection.
“Mr. Martin and Ms. Sullivan have a very good relationship,” he answered.
Hearing that, Jenny felt a wave of sadness, and her eyes reddened. She didn’t want to say another word.
After a few minutes, Paul walked out of the room. He messaged Joe, informing him that Jenny was
awake.
Paul glanced inside the ward. He could sense that Jenny was unhappy. Why had she developed these
feelings for Joe? This wasn’t a good thing for him.
At the hotel, Skylar was brushing her teeth and noticed that the hickey on her collarbone had become more pronounced. She was a bit annoyed by it. “Mr–Martin, can you stop marking my collarbone?”
Almost all the dresses she had bought had spaghetti straps, leaving her collarbone exposed. Now, she couldn’t wear those dresses because of the hickey.

She wanted to take beautiful pictures, but even a concealer couldn’t cover up the mark.
Joe was brushing his teeth beside Skylar. Hearing her request, he glanced at her collarbone.
Last night, in the heat of the moment, he’d kissed her there again.
