Fell Into His Love Trap (Skylar and Tobias)

Chapter 209

Skylar made her way to Miranda’s ward in the Psychiatric Rehabilitation Department and saw her knitting

a sweater.

Miranda put the needle and thread down when she saw Skylar and motioned at her to sit down beside

her.

Skylar was a little excited at first as she thought Miranda had made her a sweater, but a closer inspection

revealed that it was for men. The sweater was halfway done and only lacked a sleeve to make it

complete.

“Do you think it’ll fit your dad?” Miranda smiled gleefully while showing off her work.

“Why are you making Dad a sweater? He never paid you a single visit during your time in prison!” Had

the doctors not confirmed Miranda’s full recovery, Skylar would’ve thought she was still crazy.

“He must’ve had his reasons. I know he still loves us, Skylar. I mean, how else would you still be alive

today if he didn’t? You should learn to be grateful, you know?” Miranda gazed at the sweater and

imagined how Thomas would look wearing it.

It took Skylar every ounce of her strength to refrain from going on a rant about how Meredith was the one

who paid for her school fees and daily expenses, all with that meager salary of hers.

However, she knew there was no point in telling Miranda that as all she could think of was how amazing

Thomas was.

Even when Thomas cheated on her back then, Miranda simply blamed everything on the fact that Irene

was able to give birth to a son.

Given how old-fashioned and patriarchal Skylar’s grandparents were, it came as no surprise that they

wanted a son to help carry on the family lineage. Naturally, Irene fulfilled that wish of theirs and replaced

Miranda’s position in the family by giving birth to Hayden before the divorce even took place.

To make matters worse, Miranda had to have her uterus surgically removed due to excessive bleeding

when giving birth to Skylar, so having children was no longer possible for her.

That was why she hated Skylar so much back then.

“You had me come all the way here just to see this sweater?” Skylar asked in annoyance.

Miranda was oblivious to the change in her tone and held her hand as she spoke, “The doctors say I can

be discharged soon, so why haven’t you made plans to take me home yet? By the way, I’ll need to have

a family member accompany me throughout the final checkup, so you have to stay here with me for the

next two days.”

Staying with her is fine. I’m just worried that she’ll go looking for Dad once she gets discharged, but I

can’t just keep her in the hospital forever… Speaking of which, I hear Dad’s had it pretty rough lately. His

company has been liquidating its assets ever since Tobias refused to help him out. Skylar sighed deeply

at the thought of that.

In the end, she promised to accompany Miranda for her checkup and agreed to bring her home if the

doctors declared her fit for discharge, much to her delight.

She sure doesn’t look like a prisoner who’s been cooped up for too long… If anything, she strikes me as

a migrant who’s returning to her home country! Looks like prison’s been treating her well…

At noon, Miranda told her that she was hungry and that she hadn’t taken her lunch.

Skylar glanced at her watch and said, “I’ll have the nurse bring you some food right away.”

“No! Despite this being a VIP ward, the food they serve here is terrible! Get me some BBQ ribs from the

cafeteria instead!” Miranda said disdainfully.

“Were you so picky during your time in prison as well?” Skylar asked. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

Miranda didn’t like that one bit. “How could you say that? Are you looking down on me just because I

went to prison for manslaughter? What happened back then was an accident!”

She didn’t have the courage to tell Skylar the secret that she kept locked up deep down inside. You did

this to me, Thomas! I’ll have you repay what you owe me with the rest of your life!
