Chapter 589
Skylar had recalled what happened before she collapsed. She hadn’t expected Alexander to call Joe. She was fine.
A flurry of activity filled the room as doctors swarmed around Skylar, subjecting her to a battery of tests. An hour later, the room emptied, and the hospital room fell silent once again.
Skylar seemed much better than when she first woke up.
Strength flowed back into her after a few sips of water and chicken soup.
“I merely fainted. It’s nothing serious.”
Asking so many doctors to come over was a waste of time.
If the other patients knew that all the doctors were with her, they would definitely have something to say about it. It was a total waste of resources.
Joe stared at Skylar silently.
Paul’s lips twitched. He said, “Mrs. Martin, you didn’t just faint. You’ve been unconscious for four days. Your temperature dropped as days went by. They ran countless tests on you but could find no reason for your unconsciousness.
“Two hours ago, they concluded that you might never wake up. You’d be in a vegetative state. This isn’t nothing. This is absolutely terrifying!”
“Four days? Have I been unconscious for that long?” Skylar was surprised.
That explained why Joe seemed dumbstruck by her waking up. The doctors had just been talking about some kind of miracle.
She was under the impression that she’d fainted briefly. Yet, four days had passed.
“Indeed, it has been long,” Joe stated lowly.
Skylar apologetically said, “I’m sorry for worrying you all.”
She hadn’t expected the black magic to eat her up, and at the time, she didn’t care much about it. Even before fainting, she thought about how Alexader and Harry should’ve handled the phoenix figurine.
If Skylar had known that she would be unconscious for such a long time, she would’ve told him not to worry about her.
“Steven called you just now. Would you like to call him back?”

Joe handed her the phone, and Skylar reached out to take it. Their fingers touched, and Joe noticed her icy fingertips.
He asked Skylar immediately, “Are you feeling ill?”
Skylar was stunned by his question. She answered, “No, I’m feeling alright. I feel stronger now that I’ve had something to eat.
The doctor told her she would recover after two days of rest.
Why did Joe seem extremely nervous all of a sudden?
Joe’s brows remained furrowed. He held her hands tightly and said, “Your hands are still very cold.”
He glanced at Paul and ordered, “Call a doctor over.”
။
“There’s really no need for that. I’m alright. It’s normal to have cold hands, I touched the figurine, and I just needed some time to recover. Don’t worry, I’m fine,” Skylar insisted. She tried to stop Joe from doing so.
Joe gazed at her deeply. Then, he said, “Alright.”
Skylar glanced at Joe, who was still holding her hand. She reminded, “I’ll call Steven now.”
