Fell Into His Love Trap (Skylar and Tobias)

Chapter 212

Tobias’ expression grew cold. “I don’t trust anyone, Susan. You should know that by now.”

Susan felt disappointed. I’ve been working with him for over ten years, and he still doubts me…

“What took you so long? I was starving!” Miranda complained before Skylar even set the food down on

the table.

“There was a long queue in the cafeteria,” she replied.

True enough, it didn’t take long before Miranda had finished all of her food.

“I’m so happy to have you here with me, Skylar. I know I’ve wronged you in the past, so I’m really glad

that you’ve forgiven me.”

Skylar remembered what Meredith said on her deathbed. Grandma was so worried about Mom that she

insisted I take care of her once she got released from prison. She also told me not to hate Mom as she

had suffered a lot in life. You really overestimate my capabilities, Grandma… There’s no way I would’ve

been able to afford Mom’s medical bills without Tobias’ help!

Skylar simply kept quiet and whipped out her B2 French textbook. The exam was coming soon, and she

was prepared to give up on university if she couldn’t pass it.

The evening sun cast an orange glow in the ward, and the warm, gentle breeze blowing through the

open windows provided some relief from the strong smell of disinfectant.

Just like that, Skylar read her textbook in silence while Miranda carried on knitting the sweater. It was

such a serene moment, one that Skylar had never thought she would someday live to experience.

“Where do you get your money for the hospital bills?” Miranda tried to start a conversation, but Skylar

ignored her question.

After failing to get a response from her a second time, Miranda tried asking the nurse for an answer

instead.

The nurse told her the exact amount, which shocked her greatly.

“Where do you think I get the money from?” Skylar asked.

Miranda answered confidently, “It must be your dad, right? Man, it’s been so long since I last saw him! I

wonder how he looks like now… Do you have a picture of him in your phone?”

“What’s the point in seeing his picture when he didn’t even contribute a single cent? According to him, he

isn’t obligated to pay for his ex-wife’s medical bills!” Skylar said coldly.

Miranda froze and stared at her in disbelief. “That’s not possible! Skylar, do you have some sort of

problem with your dad? Why do you keep badmouthing him like that?”

“He and I are no longer related, so what does it matter? Besides, you don’t even have a place to stay

even if you were to return! Grandma has given Uncle Wesley her house, and there’s no way he’d take

you in!”

“Forget about your grandma’s house, I’m sure your dad will take us in!” Miranda said after a brief pause.

Skylar kept quiet as she didn’t know what else to say. Screw it, Mom won’t give up until she sees

Thomas anyway. He’s the one who created this mess, so I’ll just let him clean it up himself!

Meanwhile, things were a little chaotic outside Claudia’s ward as a lot of people came by to visit the

moment they found about her hospitalization.

Tobias had no idea who it was that released that information. He had the bodyguards posted outside the

door to prevent anyone from entering.

“Where have you been? You weren’t even answering my calls!” Tanya asked as she handed him an

apple that she had just peeled.

“I’ve blocked your number.” Tanya glared at him resentfully as he placed the apple on the nightstand.

“Tobias…” Claudia called out to him weakly. She could see that he didn’t like Tanya at all. The only

reason Tanya was able to put up with his attitude was because of her incredible levels of patience.All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
