Book TRK
Chapter 26
Steven was silent for a few minutes. He must have covered his phone so Skylar wouldn’t hear what they
were saying.
Skylar was slightly worried, but she heard Steven again in a few minutes.
He said, “it’s okay, Skye. It’s just a minor issue. I’ll handle it. Get some rest. If you still feel unwell, you have to go to the hospital, okay?”
“Alright, I will.”
Skylar didn’t press him. She knew Steven. He’d always been her big brother, and he took care of the rest of his siblings well. He wouldn’t worry them if it was something he could handle.
She clicked on her banking app on her phone to check her balance.
Daniel had given her 50% of her pay for restoring the paintings. She’d get the rest of them after she completed her job.
She had 800 thousand dollars in her bank account now.
After Steven graduated from university, he’d worked for a scientific research company. However, his salary had been low.
Furthermore, he’d signed a ten–year contract, so he couldn’t resign. He would have to pay a huge amount as compensation if he resigned.
In her past life, Steven had been stuck in his career before her car accident. He hadn’t seemed to be able to progress further.
She’d decided that she would try her best to help them in this life. But she didn’t have enough money yet.
She fell asleep as she thought about this.
In the next room, Joe was having trouble sleeping. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
Compared to how comfortably he’d slept at Pearlhall Residence last night, he was completely awake. now. It irritated him.
He got out of bed and walked to the first floor to get a glass of water.
When he got out of his room, he saw that the light in Skylar’s room was still on. His eyes flickered, and he walked over.
He knocked on the door three times. “Skylar.”
There was no response.
Was she still having a fever? Had she fainted?
Joe glanced at the light coming from under the door. His gaze darkened as he walked in.
Skylar’s eyes were tightly closed. She was lying quietly on her bed, and he could barely hear her breathing.
Joe walked over and checked her temperature with the head thermometer. Her temperature was down to 99.5 degrees.
Joe put the thermometer down and took another glance at Skylar.
If she could abide by the contract obediently for three years without any ulterior motives, he’d give her another sum of money when their contract ended.
His gaze darkened again when he recalled the way she’d uttered the name “Christopher“.
Paul should be able to find out what had happened between her and Christopher soon.
Skylar wok
When up again, it was 6:00 am.
She no longer had a fever, but she still felt slightly weak. So, she called Daniel to take sick leave. Then,
she went downstairs to make breakfast.
Galaxy Villa was far from the city. There weren’t a lot of options for takeout, either. She just wanted to have some porridge for breakfast.
When she went down, she was surprised to see Joe at the dining table. There was some porridge and
buns on the table.
When Joe saw her, he said, “Grandma sent these.”
Skylar felt warm after learning that Gloria had sent them food, “Grandma is so nice to me.” She picked up
her phone to send Gloria a message.
