Coralie's body was wrapped in the sheets and Skylar was holding her in his arms. She finally relaxed as she leaned on his chest and sniffed the faint minty scent on him.
She could feel her head spinning. She closed her eyes and felt Skylar's heartbeat and the strong, large hands that were holding on to her.
This seemed to be her biggest source of security.
Behind him, Franklin looked at Valerie, who was sitting on her wheelchair at the side, "We're heading to the hospital. You should go back to the banquet."
"I'll come along too."
Valerie Rae thought for a while and decided to follow them.
Jasper Zac, who was standing next to her, also said,
"I'm going too."
As soon as Jasper opened his mouth, Franklin looked at him and said with a faint smile in his attractive eyes, "Miss Rae, you're indeed remarkable. You managed to wrap President Zac around your finger in just a few hours."
That was exactly Valerie's charm.
When men met her for the first time, they would generally form a good impression of her. Franklin was no less different.
Jasper seemed visibly unhappy, but he did not refute.
Valerie looked at Jasper with a complicated expression, "This, this is our family affairs. I wouldn't want to trouble you."
However, Jasper had made up his mind, "It's fine."
At this moment, Franklin had already sent his date back. The three of them went to the hospital in a car with Franklin as the driver.
Coralie was sent in for an examination after arriving at the hospital.
Skylar stood there and made a phone call to arrange for Hayes' interrogation
Jasper accompanied Valerie, and Franklin also stood aside.
Valerie looked as Skylar walked over, his face solemn. She said softly, "Skylar, don't worry. Everything will be fine."
Valerie was not stupid. Both Skylar and Franklin had suspected her from before, so she had to clear their suspicion.
Skylar looked at Valerie. He was full of suspicions at this matter. From Hayes' words, it was obvious that he was instructed by someone, but he was not sure if that person was Valerie.
The Holland family was unstable now. Anthony Holland had specifically asked him to build a good relationship with the Zac family so the latter could help them in the electronic industry, as well as to expand their business in B City.
Franklin knew Skylar's concerns. He stood aside and looked at Jasper. A thought struck him suddenly and he reached out to take off Jasper's glasses!
"What are you doing?"
Jasper looked gentle with his glasses on, but as soon as he took it off, his temperament changed immediately. He looked fierce, even with a hint of evil.
It had never crossed Franklin's mind. He was shocked and quickly returned the glasses to Jasper. Then, he said with embarrassment, "I just thought that you look quite like Coralie. Thus, I wanted to see you without your glasses..."
After he said that, Valerie and Skylar couldn't help but focus their attention on Jasper.
Especially Skylar, and his heart skipped a beat. He thought of the album in Coralie's house...
Coralie was seen wearing a unique little golden lock of the Zac family in one of her baby pictures.
"We don't look alike at all!"
In fact, Valerie had told Jasper about her disability pitifully so as to haul sympathy out of him, and it led to Jasper's bad impression of Coralie.
He even thought that Coralie was hypocritical and annoying. From his point of view, Skylar had a bad taste for refusing Valerie and liking Coralie instead.
