"Skylar, I'm sorry. I wasn't sensible last time. I have already gotten an earful from my sister."
Wayne Chariott immediately apologized as soon as he entered the ward and saw Skylar Holland lying on the bed.
"It's okay."
Skylar thought that it was better for him to get injured instead of having to face the extreme result that Howard Schultz could have caused otherwise.
Although Valerie was silent on the side, she could already guess who Wayne was.
"Skylar, I'm truly sorry. If I hadn't been locked in the house, I wouldn't have let that jerk hurt my sister."
Wayne felt guilty because he had to depend on Skylar to save his sister even though he was a young man himself.
"It's really okay. How's your sister doing recently?"
Valerie Rae left the room when she realized that they were talking about Coralie.
She left not because she didn't want to disturb them, but because she felt that Wayne looked very familiar...
She seemed to have seen him on her Facebook posts before.
Valerie sat in the corridor and began to scroll through her Facebook profile. She found a photo that was posted one month ago.
It was Jamie George, Skylar's cousin, who posted it.
Jamie and Wayne were in their sportswear, sitting next to each other at a basketball court. They looked very close to each other with Jamie putting a sweet smile on her face.
At first glance, she could see that the relationship between these two was not ordinary.
The George family treated their business as their top priority, just like Anthony Holland. Of course, it would be impossible for Jamie to marry an ordinary person.
Wayne came out of the ward not long after.
Valerie stopped him and asked, "Hello, are you a student from A University?"
Wayne had never seen Valerie before. He didn't expect her to ask him questions, so he answered casually, "Yes. Why do you ask?"
"Nothing," Valerie waved her hand.
Wayne then left without thinking too much.
Valerie went back into the ward to accompany Skylar for a while before leaving to look for Jamie's mother.
Jamie's mother, Queenie, was also part of the Holland family. As she did not have a job, she and Lillian would spend their time playing poker with each other.
Valerie drove to the place where they had often played poker and waited by the entrance. Queenie came out from the building not long after.
"Auntie Holland."
Valerie got out of the car and waved to Queenie.
Queenie and Valerie were not close at all. They could be considered distant acquaintances.
However, she had met Valerie twice in the past since the latter had a close relationship with Skylar.
"Valerie?"
Queenie looked at Valerie with some confusion. She stood there and she had no intention of getting into the car.
"Auntie Holland, would you like to have a cup of coffee with me?
Valerie intended to get on her good books so that they could go against the Chariott family together. She thought it was hard for her to defeat Coralie by herself since Lillian was dumb and her words didn't count at home.
"If you have something to say, just say it. I have to go home and have dinner with my child."
Queenie was different from Lillian. Although she did not have a job, she was a smart person. A look at Valerie was all it took for her to know that she would ask for her help.
"Auntie Holland, I have some news about Jamie."
