Chapter 10
"The hospital?" Coralie Chariott was stunned. "Didn't you say we were going to sign a contract? Why
are we going to a hospital?"
"If you were to sign the contract when you are not clear-headed, you might use that against me in the
future." Skylar Holland was sitting very far away from her when he spoke, and his expression was still
cold.
"I see. I understand."
People in the business industry were so shrewd and calculative.
Coralie smiled bitterly. She had already mentioned that she was very grateful to Skylar for giving her
the 5 million dollars, that she would not covet any of his fortunes.
But why couldn't he just believe it?
Perhaps in Skylar's eyes, she was the same as those women who coveted his money. As she thought
of that, she knew that she was silly to think so highly of herself.
The car arrived at a private hospital designated by the Holland family.
The private hospital had provided an excellent service. In addition, because Coralie came with Skylar, it
was expected that the staff wouldn't dare to neglect her. Coralie sat in the ward and waited. The doctor
who was in charge of her came into the ward and prescribed some medications for her.
IV drips, enough for three days.
"Skylar, would you prefer to have the IV drips here, or to bring it home with you?"
A man in a white coat came in. He was wearing a pair of silver thin-framed glasses and looked gentle.
Behind him was Skylar, who was wearing a suit.
"Let's have it here."
Skylar went into the ward to take a look at Coralie. Then he turned around and left.
On the contrary, the doctor stayed. He looked at Coralie and said with a smile, "Skylar is an introverted
guy and not that good at expressing his feelings. It must be hard on you to be with him."
"No."
Coralie smiled bitterly.
She didn't dare to say that she was only a wife who he had rented with 5 million dollars.
"Be together?" She wouldn't even dare to think about it.
The doctor was not surprised. He took out a business card and handed it to Coralie. "My name is
Harvey Felton. I'm a doctor here."
Coralie reached out her hand and took the business card respectfully. After scrutinizing it, she carefully
put the business card away. "Dr. Felton, I'm sorry to have troubled you today."
"Don't worry, I'm Skylar's best friend. You can contact me whenever you need any help in the future."
Harvey said as he pushed his glasses up his nose.
After a while, a nurse came in and hung the IV drip for Coralie. Then Harvey left with the nurse.
Not long after, Skylar came into the room. Looking at Coralie who was sitting quietly on the sofa while
on her drip, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Coralie, I really have underestimated you. As soon as I
leave, you tell Harvey that you are my wife."
"What do you mean?"
Coralie was puzzled.
"I married you just to bring good luck to my family. I hope that you don't go around telling everyone that
we are married and cause unnecessary trouble."
Skylar said expressionlessly.
"Unnecessary trouble?"
Coralie understood what he meant. "I know. You are the President of the Holland Group. If the word
gets out that you had married a divorcee, it will definitely bring shame upon the Holland family."
Upon hearing her words, Skylar fell silent.
For three consecutive days, Coralie came to this hospital for her drips at the request of Skylar.
After that, Coralie went back to work. She had hired a nurse for her mother and brother using the
money that she had received from Skylar.
The 5 million dollars really helped her a lot.
In the morning on the fourth day after Coralie fell sick, she received a text message from Skylar.
"Come to the hospital at 2 o'clock in the afternoon."
The hospital he was referring to was the one where Coralie got her drips.
Coralie requested a leave from work, changed into a clean set of clothes and arrived at the hospital at
2 o'clock sharp.
Skylar was already waiting for her at the entrance of the hospital. He was wearing a white shirt and a
pair of black trousers. He was standing under the shade and his handsome face was particularly eye-
catching under the bright sun.
Coralie stood there as she looked at him.
Coralie thought that although it looked like they were closer to each other after five years, but in reality,
they were people from two different worlds.
"Come with me."
Skylar took a look at Coralie's attire and did not show a look of disgust, which probably meant that he
was at least satisfied with her outfit.
Coralie followed him into the elevator and ascended to the top floor of the hospital. They entered a
ward on the 10th floor.
The ward was large, with only a bed in the middle.
"Grandma, I'm here."
As soon as Skylar entered, he held Coralie's hand and walked into the ward with a smile.
Upon entering the ward, Coralie could see an old lady with a full head of gray hair lying on the bed. All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
Although the skin on the old lady's face was saggy and full of wrinkles, her beautiful and defined facial
features could still be seen.
It was obvious that she was a great beauty when she was young.
"Skye, you're here."
The grandmother reached her hands out trying to look for the source of the voice. Skylar hurriedly
rushed to her side and put her hands on his face. "Yes, I'm here to see you."
Coralie was stunned for a moment when she realized that the person lying on the bed was blind.
Skylar pulled Coralie to the grandmother's side and handed Coralie's hand to her. He said with a smile,
"Grandma, look, I brought your granddaughter-in-law with me to visit you. She's the one I told you
before."
"Grandmother, hello, I'm Coralie Chariott."
Coralie greeted politely.
Upon hearing this, the elderly grandmother held Coralie's hand and touched her face. She said with
satisfaction, "Well, well, it seems that she is a good girl."
"Thank you, Grandmother."
Coralie squatted down to get close to the grandmother's hand so that she could touch her easily.
"Alas, it's a pity that I'm old. I can't see this beautiful granddaughter-in-law. But judging from your voice,
I know that you must be a good girl."
Grandmother touched Coralie's face and nodded repeatedly.
Whenever Skylar was with his grandmother he would naturally put away his cold character. He said
with a smile, "Of course, this is what you had requested."
"Really? Young Lady, when is your birthday?"
Coralie replied without any hesitation.
Granny thought about it, and said, "It seems like you both are a good match."
"Yes, she is my college classmate. I chose to be with her because I listened to you."
Skylar, who was standing next to his grandmother, said with a smile.
Listening at their conversation, Coralie's smile froze.
She remembered a conversation with Syklar back in college. It was when they were filling in some
forms for the student council. He looked at her basic information and asked her, "Is this your birthday?"
"Yes." She answered.
At that time, she didn't quite understand why Skylar had asked such a question, but now she finally
understood.
The reason why Skylar approached her was that she had a suitable birth date as a good-luck-bride.
Coralie stood next to Skylar as she watched him serve water, cut apples and sing for his grandmother.
He was indeed a filial grandson.
This explained why he had approached a woman that he had no feelings for. It's all because of his
grandmother's wishes.
Grandma liked Coralie very much. When Coralie was leaving, she took out an emerald bracelet which
was under the pillow and put it on Coralie's left wrist. She said with a smile, "Young lady, take this
bracelet with you. You are now the granddaughter-in-law of the Holland family. If Skye ever bullies you
in the future, use this bracelet to remind him that."
