In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO

Chapter 467

All this while, Lina was convinced that she would be able to win Tobias’ heart if she was persistent in pursuing him. Even so, she had to rely on Skylar in order to minimize the vast gap between her and Tobias. She knew that she was just putting on a cheerful smile to conceal the throbbing pain in her heart at the sight of Skylar and Tobias being loving together.

As both Tobias and Skylar left in a haste a while ago, they did not even close the door of their bedroom.

Lina suddenly felt the urge to have a look at it. The moment she entered the room, the unfolded blanket and the heavily creased bedsheet of the luxury European bed came into view. A glint of ferocity flashed across her eyes at the sight of the used condom in the trash can. A mixture of unmissable sensuality and lust in the air implied that the two were engrossed in a passionate steamy session a while ago.

Suppressing the great jealousy within herself, Lina proceeded to open the closet in the room. To her surprise, there were only a few of Tobias’ custom-made suits. It seems that he seldom spends his time here.

Her eyes lit up when she saw his shirts. She took one out and pressed the tip of her nose lightly against it. Ah! This is my favorite white sandalwood cologne! She sniffed with her eyes tightly shut. There was even a dreamy look on her face.

Skylar was reluctant to go to the public hospital, fearing that the others would recognize her and gossip about her. Thus, Tobias sped off to Concord Hospital which was nearby. It was one of the most popular public hospitals in the city, partly due to how they ensured the confidentiality of their patients.

This was actually the second time Tobias sent Skylar to the hospital at midnight due to fever. When the nurse took her temperature, Tobias was relieved as the reading indicated that she was just having a mild fever.

Skylar was not in time to go to the washroom as they left home in a hurry. She suddenly felt the urgency to answer nature’s call and told Tobias that she needed to use the washroom.

Tobias asked with great concern, “Are you sure you can go by yourself? How about I arrange a private ward for you? You can use the washroom there. Besides, I can accompany you there as well.”

Skylar was speechless upon hearing his words. What’s the matter with this man? He’s overreacting! I can barely wait for another second to pee!

The next moment, she made a dart toward the public washroom as she could not hold back any longer.

“Skylar Jones is in our hospital at the moment. Did you see the man by her side? You should see how close she is to him! Harry Reid is obviously not her boyfriend! She must be bluffing about her single status.”

“Ah! It’s very common for female celebrities to twist their words. You shouldn’t trust their words easily. Anyway, the man looks far more handsome than Harry Reid. He even gives off a vibe of dignity. I really wonder who he is!”

“I heard that she will be acting in a movie alongside Largo Zeller. Largo is warm and gentle. How can they match up a vixen and such an outstanding actor?”

In the toilet, Skylar overheard a few young ladies gossiping and mocking her.

The moment she stepped out, those young ladies in nurse uniforms were dumbfounded and zipped their mouths at once.

She turned on the tap and washed her hands casually. Glancing obliquely at those young nurses, she scoffed, “Do I really look like a vixen? What a compliment! I never knew that I’m actually an alluring woman!”

In a split second, pin-drop silence ensued the place. Those young nurses lowered their heads and did not dare to spare any glance at her. They left hastily in embarrassment. NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

Skylar turned off the tap and looked intently at the mirror. Even without any makeup, the woman who stared back at her had sharp penetrative eyes with glistens of charm. She was somehow unfamiliar with her look at the moment. Since when there is such a change in my look?

Not long after Skylar stepped out of the washroom, her blood test result was out. The doctor explained that her discomfort was due to mild infection, and prescribed a few types of medicine. They left the hospital right after collecting the medicine from the dispensary.

Skylar grumbled, “See, the doctor just ended up prescribing a few types of medicines. If I knew it, I would just take some medicine and sleep, so I won’t have to waste my time here.”

With one hand on the steering wheel, Tobias placed another palm on her forehead to check her temperature. He could feel that her temperature seemed to have subsided a bit.

He glared at her and advised, “Don’t act smart by assuming that you can treat yourself with your own medicine. I haven’t complained about the running around, yet you’re the one grumbling.”

Skylar leaned her head against the window and replied languorously, “I don’t mean anything. I’m just feeling sleepy and really need a good sleep now. I need to wake up early tomorrow for a photo shooting session of the company. Everyone must turn up as it’s a group photo.”

Tobias stroked her hair and mocked, “You still have the mood to go for the group photo? Since you’re not feeling well, just stay at home tomorrow and get some rest. It won’t make any difference if you are not there.”

Skylar just remained silent. She could foresee that the netizens would start gossiping about her being blacklisted if there was no sign of her in the group photo.
