You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie) novel Chapter 137

Skylar Holland was frightened by the sight. He immediately got down on one knee and tried to help Amelia Harington up, "Auntie, please get up."

"Mom! Get up quickly."

Valerie Rae was also anxious.

However, Amelia refused. She looked at Skylar sadly, "Skylar, I have never pleaded with anyone. However, Valerie is my only daughter. If anything happens to her, my husband and I will lose the reason to keep living."

"Auntie, I know, but marriage is not to be decided so arbitrarily."

Skylar said quickly.

In fact, he knew that he couldn't retain another woman in his heart at all, at least that was the case now.

If he had any romantic attractions towards Valerie, he wouldn't have waited so long for it. The spark would have taken place a few years ago, maybe even more than ten years ago. After all, they had been close for so many years. However, there was no such chemistry between them.

"I know that it's selfish for me to say so. But if it wasn't for Coralie, Valerie wouldn't have ended up like this. She's a good girl and she won't cause you any trouble. Please allow me to be selfish just this once."

Amelia refused to get up. She wanted to force Skylar into an ultimatum. If she didn't push him to his edge, her daughter might really die someday.

Valerie wanted to cry when she saw Amelia in this state. She begged, "Mom, get up. I will not be so reckless in the future. I won't do it anymore. I'll stay alive for you."

She was encumbered by the drip, but she still wanted to get out of the bed and stop Amelia from kneeling.

Harvey Felton stood at the door and shook his head when he was met with this scene.

Skylar said, "Auntie, if you're going to keep on kneeling, then I'll kneel with you here. But if you demand an answer from me now, I'm sorry to tell you that I can't promise you anything. This is about Valerie's life. I can't make such a hasty decision."

As he spoke, he started kneeling on the ground with both knees.

Amelia was his elder, so it was not a shameful sight to kneel before her.

The situation was in a stalemate.

In the end, Valerie did not care anymore. She wanted to pull out the drip and kneel with them. Harvey rushed in with two nurses and stopped Valerie. Then, he said, "For the sake of the patient, I hope that everyone could discuss this matter in a proper way. Otherwise, it will bring a negative impact on the patient's recovery. If there are any sequelae, you will regret it."

Upon hearing this, Amelia was frightened. She stood up immediately and Skylar followed after her.

Valerie saw that Amelia had finally gotten up. She then told her, "Mom, stop forcing Skylar. He... he likes Miss Chariott. If he doesn't want to marry me, then please don't force him."

Amelia was unhappy with such a response, but she still said gently, "Love could be cultivated through time. Besides, it's important to match families from the same level and status. Skylar, I think that you must have realized this by now. You have married Coralie and everything might seem fine for a while. But slowly, issues will surface, and that includes your parents' thoughts. I don't have to say it out loud. You know what I'm talking about."

In fact, Amelia's words were not completely wrong and Skylar understood the cruel reality.

It was already chaotic when Lillian Ford found out that Skylar had married Coralie. The impact would be on a whole new level if his father were to hear of this news.

Skylar didn't answer Amelia's question and headed straight out instead.

......

Skylar sat in Harvey's office in ghostly silence.

"Skylar, I think that you have to admit defeat now."

Harvey, who had witnessed the whole process, shook his head repeatedly.

"She lost a leg. It's my duty to marry her."

Skylar lowered his head.

Harvey looked at Skylar and said, "We grew up together, and while I'm not into gossiping, Coralie is definitely a better match for you than Valerie. Valerie is too sly and scheming. I can't even figure out between her real and fake self."

No one knew this better than Skylar.
