"I'll do it."
Coralie said without hesitation.
At that moment, there was nothing else in her mind. She only wanted to be with Skylar. Perhaps, the scar had healed and the pain wasn't there anymore. As long as she was with Skylar, she wasn't fearful of the injection.
"What injection?"
Skylar looked at Coralie.
He vaguely sensed that the reason why Coralie became like that must have had something to do with that injection.
The first thing that came to Skylar's mind was like what Coralie had initially thought, that it was a drug.
"It is a wonderful injection," Yohan was disappointed at Coralie's choice. Although he looked composed while speaking, he fisted his hands so tightly that his veins were popping out.
He felt betrayed.
Yohan did not want to inject Coralie. However, she would rather take it so that she could get to spend a night with Skylar.
How could that not have made him furious?
"It's nothing. It's nothing. That's just to make me fall asleep."
However, Coralie trembled at the mention of the injection.
She was afraid of the injection, but she also yearned to hug Skylar and ask him how Hendric was doing.
Yohan did not speak too.
He already had a plan in his mind.
"Then, I'll leave first. Have an unforgettable night," Yohan could no longer stand the sight of Coralie hiding behind Skylar.
He got up and then left.
However, he wasn't in a hurry.
It was because he could slowly play with Coralie after that.
"Wait!" Skylar pushed Coralie toward Yohan and said, "Go with him. I'll take you away after three days."
He could tell from Coralie's reaction that it was a horrifying injection. It was so horrifying that Coralie would tremble at the thought of it.
How could he let Coralie suffer just to spend one night with her?
"No," Coralie tugged at Skylar's sleeves while vigorously shaking her head, "It's really not a big deal. Really."
She saw Yohan's expression just now; he was clenching his hands.
Based on Coralie's understanding of Yohan, even if she followed him back now, she might not have been able to escape the injection.
If that was the case, she would rather spend a night with Skylar.
Yohan noticed that Coralie's shoulder was trembling slightly. He knew that she had guessed his intentions. He left without saying a word.
The door was closed with a bang.
Coralie fell to the ground.
She was relieved. It was because she was in a room with only Skylar, without Yohan's presence.
"I miss you so much."
Coralie stretched out her hand, wrapping her arms around Skylar's neck. She felt happy just staying close to Skylar.
"I'm sorry. I didn't manage to protect you."
Skylar bent down and held Coralie in his arms, walking toward his room.
"It's ok. I don't blame you." Coralie looked at Skylar and asked, "How is Hendric? Did the cord blood bank help?"
When Coralie was taken away by Yohan, that issue of the cord blood bank was not solved yet. Skylar came to S Country to take Coralie away because he had found a perfect cord match for Hendric.
"Yes. Don't worry. I've already found him the perfect match. He's being treated now. Harvey and Xenia will keep him company every day. I'll bring you to see him when we get back."
Skylar updated Coralie about the cord blood.
He held Coralie. She was skinny and her collarbone was prominent. It was obvious that she had lost a lot of weight.
"That's good."
Coralie felt relieved after knowing that Hendric had found the matching cord blood.
She was in Skylar's embrace.
They arrived at the room that Yohan had prepared for Skylar.
"Tell me the truth. What kind of injection is it?"
Although Skylar managed to bring Coralie back to his side, he still blamed himself. What kind of injection was it?
What kind of injection would cause Coralie so much fear?
"It's really just an injection to make me sleep." Coralie brushed it off with a smile, as if it did not matter, "If it's a horrible needle, why would I spend the night with you, right?"
As she spoke, she raised Skylar's face and kissed him softly.
She was acting mischievous and lively, as though she wasn't shocked by the injection at all.
