My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul novel Chapter 666

Chapter 666 

The more Caleb looked at Skylar, the more convinced he became. In his view, Joe was nothing but a wolf in sheep’s clothing. 

Caleb had believed this since he was a child, and now he was more convinced than ever. 

Skylar couldn’t help but laugh. “Last night, a family member was admitted to the hospital. I was worried all night and didn’t sleep well. Let’s go. I need to get a cup of coffee.” 

Caleb scratched his head. He felt a bit awkward. “Sorry, I misunderstood.” 

Even though it was a misunderstanding, he still believed Joe was a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Skylar was just being deceived by Joe’s appearance. 

One day, she would see Joe’s true nature. 

Edwin and Molly arrived at the hospital around noon. Molly didn’t enter the ward but waited outside. 

When Edwin appeared in the ward, Gloria was having lunch. She had a bowl of light, easily digestible chicken soup. 

“Mom, how are you feeling today?” Edwin asked. 

Gloria gave him a cold look. She replied blandly, “A bit better.” 

At least she was still alive and hadn’t been angered to death. She was still hanging on. 

Edwin was used to Gloria’s cold demeanor toward him over the years. After all, she was his mother. He spoke gently, “I brought some tomato soup. I checked with Dr. Colon, and he said you could have it.” 

Molly had personally made the tomato soup. She spent the whole morning on it with great care. 

Gloria acknowledged with a nod. “That’s thoughtful. I’ll have it later.” 

Edwin was not one for these gestures, so this had to be Molly’s idea. 

After all these years, Molly’s patience and tactics had kept her by Edwin’s side. Unfortunately, the things they had done together still made Gloria sick whenever she thought about them. 

It was probably divine retribution that neither could have children, even through IVF. 

“Mom, I was wrong last night. I shouldn’t have argued with you. I know that while anyone could hurt Joe, you never would,” Edwin said softly. 

Gloria’s expression eased a bit. “You’re right about that. No one else will look out for Joe like I will.” 

“Joe is my son and my only child. I care about him and would never harm him. Mom, we both want what’s best for him,” Edwin continued. 

Gloria frowned, “You may want children, but none of the women around you can bear them. You didn’t care about Joe when you were younger. Now that you’re older, you want to step in as a father? 

“Isn’t it too late? Joe can handle things on his own now. He’s not the same child who needed protection. You need to see him as he is and stop meddling in his affairs.” 

“Mom, I’m still his father. I would never harm him,” Edwin said, frowning. He had been a foolish young man. Besides, everyone around him was doing the same. He never thought his body would give out.
