Chapter 1100

Joe caught the soft sobbing coming from the phone.

The moment the call connected, Skylar didn’t say a word. He could only hear her faint and restrained

sobs.

Joe immediately set down the pen he was holding and asked, “Where are you?”

After two minutes, Skylar managed to calm herself down and replied, “I’m at Oakdale Hospital.”

Oakdale Hospital?

Joe’s tone was firm when he said, “Wait for me.” Then, he hung up.

Skylar looked down at her phone, her eyes still red.

“I’ll keep looking into Madam Viola’s case. We’ve also found the hotel where she stayed after arriving in Jipsburg,” Aiken said.

When he saw Skylar burst into tears after answering the call, he had a good guess about who had called her. It must have been Joe. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Just as he suspected, Joe and Skylar hadn’t divorced. Joe’s engagement to someone else had been part of a plan, likely to achieve a certain goal.

He sighed deeply, feeling a sense of regret.

Skylar had calmed down completely now.

Upon hearing that Viola had stayed in a hotel, she immediately asked Aiken, “Is the room she was staying in still being held by the hotel?”

“Yes, she paid for a month. Here’s the room key. I’ve written the room number on it. You can go there and check later. Some of her personal belongings are still in the room,” Aiken explained.

Skylar took the key and thanked him. Aiken gave her a deep look and said, “I’m sorry for your loss. We also need to start making preparations for Madam Viola’s funeral.”

“Don’t worry, I’m fine now. Grandma Viola had no other relatives. As her disciple and granddaughter, I’ll take care of her funeral,” Skylar said solemnly.

“Alright, then. I have other matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave now. And I’ll continue investigating Madam Viola’s matters,” Aiken said while glancing at the time.

It had been over ten minutes since Joe’s call. So, he would probably arrive soon since the roads were not jammed anymore.

Aiken thought it best to avoid crossing paths with him for now.

“Thank you. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have been able to see Grandma Viola,” Skylar said.

Aiken just smiled and said nothing.

If he could, he wished Skylar wouldn’t be so formal with him. But for now, that barrier of formality between them as friends wouldn’t be broken easily, not while she was still Mrs. Martin.

Shortly after Aiken left, Joe arrived.

Seeing Skylar’s swollen eyes, he walked over without asking any questions and hugged her.

This made Skylar couldn’t hold back and cry again.

She cried for a long time. When she finally calmed down again, she realized her tears had soaked his suit.

“Joe, I found Grandma Viola,” she said, her eyes red as she looked up at him.

Joe was a little surprised. He had guessed a few possibilities on the way, thinking that Skylar’s close friend or family member might be hospitalized, causing her to worry. He didn’t expect it to be Viola.

“Is she sick? Don’t worry. There are plenty of

her.”

Op specialists in Jipsburg. They’ll definitely be able to help

Listening to Joe’s gentle reassurances, Skylar cried even harder.

If only that were the case. If only Viola were just sick. No matter what the illness was, she would have taken her to find the best treatment. But…
