The servant nodded quickly and went to make the call. Every time Skyler touched the cotton on her wound, Jocelynâs eyes that were closed from the pain would tremble involuntarily. Skyler looked at the curvature of her raised chin and it looked like a swan lifting its neck when it was about to take off. The curvature was so extraordinarily beautiful.
It was a pity that this swanâs neck was scratched.
His Adamâs apple could not help but move slightly and his movements became unconsciously gentler.
Jocelyn could not stop herself from saying, âMr. Moore, are you done?â. Skyler remembered that she had called his name when she was feeling urgent before, but now she had become calm and distant again.
There was a look of contingency on his face and there was a hint of irony in his voice, âArenât you pretty bad*ss when you face me? Didnât you also fight in Moon Pavilion before, so how can you get beaten by a woman? Where did the energy that you used to beat Giada go?â Jocelynâs face was tense. She opened her eyes slightly and glanced at Skyler. âI sprained my foot.â
Skyler snorted softly, âIs that why you turned from Joan of Arc to Virgin Mary?â
It was the first time Jocelyn heard Skyler make such a stupid joke, and for some reason, he seemed to be a little more approachable.
She could not hold back, and the corner of her mouth raised slightly. âIâm not that weak, I was just caught off guard.â Skyler raised his eyebrows. âYes, so remember you have to be vigilant at all times.â
Jocelynâs eyes were like crescent moons, and she was smoking softly. âAlright, Iâll remember that.â
Skyler sanitized Jocelyn carefully. It was as if Lily was something germ-laden and filthy. He disinfected her wound repeatedly, Then, he asked the servant beside him, âWhat happened?â
The servant had a good memory and retold the conversation between Jocelyn and Lily, how Lily disregarded everything and threatened Jocelyn, and how Lily pounced on Jocelyn like a mad dog. Skyler was not angry anymore. He just said, âDonât let that mad dog inside again in the future, or else, you can kiss your job goodbye.â
The servant nodded quickly.
The doctor arrived soon after, and Jocelyn received two shots in the arm.
The doctor also brought anti-inflammatories to heal her wounds and an ointment to get rid of the scars.
Skyler was very excited to treat Jocelynâs wound today. Therefore, when Michael came, Skyler was putting medicine on Jocelynâs neck.
When Michael saw Lily curled up against the wall with blood and tears on her face, he felt a little distressed.
After all, that was his biological daughter.
NOU However, since Skyler did not say anything, then he also did not dare to say anything so easily.
Skyler ignored him and quietly treated Jocelynâs wound. In order to facilitate the absorption of the powder and the ventilation of the wound, Skyler wrapped several loops of gauze around Jocelynâs neck to cover the wound. After he was done, he lowered his eyes and looked at Jocelynâs fair face. Then, he said something astonishing, âYou look like you died on the gallows.â
The corner of Jocelynâs mouth twitched a few times. She understood what Skyler meant. When a person was hanged, there would be a white damask cloth around their neck. After Skyler finished doing this, he said directly, âHelp her upstairs.â
The servant came over immediately and reached out to help Jocelyn.
Jocelynâs eyes shone. She could tell that Skyler did not want her involved in his handling of this.
After all, she was also a White.
It was a pity that she did not have any relationship with the White family now.
Jocelyn disappeared at the head of the stairs and Skyler sat down on the sofa.
He looked at Michael and said in a low voice, âSpeaking of which, I can address you as my father-in-law, but you donât want to be my father-in-law and you like to go against me, so youâre giving me no choice.â
Michael was nervous and hurriedly said, âPresident Moore, Lily is still young, so she is ignorant. I will apologize to you for her mistakes. Please donât split hairs with her for jocelynâs sake.â
Skyler snorted coldly. When he thought of Jocelynâs injury, his voice was a little angry, âShe is still young?
Isnât she the same age as Jocelyn, Mr. White?â
Michael was too scared to say a word, Skyler looked at Michael sarcastically. âBesides, she scratched Jocelyn and I must forgive her for Jocelynâs sake. Mr. White, what do you take Jocelyn and me for?â
Skylerâs tone was calm and unhurried, but Michael was so frightened that his legs were weak.â President Moore, itâs my fault. I didnât discipline her well. I apologize on behalf of Lily to you and Jocelyn. Iâm really sorry! After I go back, I will definitely teach her a lesson!â
Skyler ignored Michaelâs apology and said bluntly, âYou should lock your mad dog properly at home. This is not a place where she can run wild. If she is in a hurry to die, then her corpse will only be thrown into the wilderness.â Michaelâs face turned white and then grey. He glanced at Lily who was curled up on the ground like she was a disappointment and nodded repeatedly. âPresident Moore, I understand, this kind of thing will never happen again!â Skyler stood up from the sofa and said lazily, âItâs best if you can understand. Also, it doesnât matter if Lily is injured or disabled, she must get a marriage certificate with Chad today. I have already agreed with the Jones family, and they are very happy to welcome Lily into their family. You shouldnât miss this opportunity.â
Skyler deliberately emphasized the word today. Every time he said a word, Michaelâs heart would sink a little more. When he heard this, he nodded quickly. âWeâll definitely get the marriage certificate today, and when they get the certificate, Iâll send the thing to you, President Moore!â
Skyler glanced at him, giving him a look that said before turning to go upstairs, âItâs good that youâre self-
aware.â Michael walked over and stretched out his hand to help his daughter up. Then, he looked at her in distress and anger before rushing her to the hospital. Michael helped Lily out of No. 1, North Court.
Lily was so frightened that she did not dare to say a word. The moment she stepped out of the door, she felt like she had gone out of the devilâs territory. Hér whole body was in excruciating pain, and she burst into tears. Michael glared at her angrily. âYou still have the nerve to cry. Youâve ruined everything!â Lily was in so much pain that she covered her stomach with one hand. There was a pained expression on her face, and she clutched her face with another hand. âDad! Iâm disfiguredâ¦â Michael was angry and helpless. âItâs okay, if Skyler is the one who said something, even if you are disfigured, the Jones family will still agree for you to marry into their family. Stop being so stupid in the future anymore. The Quirrel family is completely destroyed, donât you know?â
Lily turned around suddenly and stared at Michael in shock. âWhat?â
