Chapter 800
Were they incapable of withstanding even a week of separation? The more Joe thought about it, the more his expression soured.
He had a fever now, so his face had been pale. The angrier he got, the more. terrifying he seemed.
“I ran into him in the afternoon. How are you feeling now? Are you sure you don’t want to go to the hospital?” Skylar looked at him weirdly.
If she didn’t know better, she would’ve thought he was jealous of Aiken.
Joe bit his lip. Did she run into him? Would there be such perfect
coincidences?
Perhaps because his head was spinning, Joe lost control over his emotions.
“I don’t want to go.”
“Um… Mr. Evans from the branch company is asking for me. He has a few things to discuss with me. S–Should I go now? Mrs. Martin, I’ll hand the task of taking care of Mr. Martin over to you.” Paul knew that the situation was taking al turn for the worse. He had to make his escape as soon as possible.
With Skylar there, he didn’t need to worry about Joe. Without giving them a chance to react, he spun on his heels and walked away as though there was at beast in the hall.
Skylar couldn’t stop him in time.
In the end, she turned to Joe resignedly and said, “Let’s go back to your room. I’ll take your temperature again.”
She couldn’t let his fever worsen. He needed to get examined at the hospital.
Joe stopped throwing a tantrum. He nodded and agreed to head upstairs with her.
When they entered the elevator, Joe stared at Skylar. She had no idea why he was doing so. She said, “You’ve got to speak up if you’re feeling uncomfortable in any way.”
“My heart feels uncomfortable,” mumbled Joe.
However, Skylar heard him loud and clear. She asked, “Why?”
Joe said, “You know why.”
Skylar knew? What was she supposed to know?
She was speechless in the face of his sick ramblings. Skylar wouldn’t argue with him. After all, he was sick.
They arrived at his suite shortly after. She scoured the room for a thermometer. When she found it, she offered it to him and said, “Take your temperature.”
Then, she picked up the medicine and read its instruction manual.

Joe raised his eyebrow as he watched her read it. She wasn’t heartless as she made herself out to look. At least she still cared about him.
When he thought of things from this perspective, he felt much better. The

After going through the manual, Skylar glanced at the time. Then, she said to Joe, “Pass me the thermometer. I’ll take a look.”
Joe complied.
Skylar read the display under the light. She frowned and said, “Your fever has reached 102.3 degrees Fahrenheit. It’s too severe. If you ingest medication without knowing the exact cause of your fever, it might have adverse effects. Let’s head to the hospital.”
Hadn’t Paul said that his fever had subsided?
