Chapter 123 Since Skylar had pancakes for breakfast and didn't cook at home, she decided to buy something light, like chicken soup and sbread, before heading to the hospital.
Caleb was lying on the bed and playing video games to pass the time. He thought Skylar wouldn't have the tto visit him since it was her first day.
So, when Skylar walked into the room, Caleb felt like he might actually tear up. "Skylar, I've been waiting for you!" Skylar glanced at her watch before setting down the lunch in front of Caleb. "Are you hungry? Is your family not around to keep you company?" "Uncle John is busy. Besides, this is just a minor surgery. He just needs to be there to sign the papers. He hired a caretaker fortoo," Caleb said while digging into his lunch.
Even though it was a simple meal, it tasted great because Skylar was the one to deliver them.

Caleb nodded while feeling relieved.
If Alexander ever gave her a hard time, he would need to have a word with him after he was discharged from the hospital.
Skylar stayed at the hospital for around 20 minutes before leaving.
She wanted to finish the task given by Alexander as soon as possible.
While she was on the way back to work, Joe gave her a call. "I'll pick you up around 5:00 pmm later. Is that okay?" "That's fine. I'll see you later," Skylar replied.
She had checked with Oliver about the team's working hours. Alexander's team had a healthy work culture. They would usually finish work around 4:30 pm. It wasn't a nine-to-six setup.
Sometimes, they would work overtor even work over the weekend if they needed to conduct on-site archeological excavations.
After hanging up, Skylar received a voice note from Natalie.
Natalie: "Skylar, guess what? I've got a major scoop. Apparently, Joe is married! A friend of mine works at the courthouse and saw him.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"He didn't take pictures because he didn't know who Joe was. We were chatting in the group and he saw Joe's Interview. Only then did he know it was Joe who got married.
"He said the bride was gorgeous, but he couldn't remember her name. The bride wasn't Annie, though Chapter 123 Can you believe it? Big news, right?" Skylar could hear the excitement in Natalie's voice. She felt a little guilty that she was part of the gossip.
"Annie attended John's engagement party with Joe, but he didn't bring his newlywed wife along. Could it be that Joe doesn't like his wife? Now that Annie is back in town, Joe might be divorcing his wife! "I heard Joe's wife is really beautiful. The kind of beauty that you don't see every day. If she knows that her husband has a complicated relationship with another woman, she might be heartbroken.
"If I were in her shoes, I would be devastated. Maybe they weren't that close, unlike Jeremy and I. We've known each other for so many years.
"He had been givingthe princess treatment since childhood. If hem betrayed me, I wouldn't know what to do. But I know for sure he wouldn't do such a thing to me."
Skylar listened to all the voice notes and was speechless, She wanted to tell Natalie that Joe's wife already E knew everything. The things she should and shouldn't know about, she already knew it all.
While she wasn't exactly heartbroken, she felt bad and sorry for coming in between Joe and Annie.
Before she started her journey, she replied to Natalie. "How many Natalie and Jeremy are there in this world?" X
