Sheldon found her words hilarious. Indeed, Skylar was too young for his brother. She was just a little
girl and had nothing in common with Tobias.
There was nothing else they could talk about other than having sex. Sheldon had never seen them
chatting with each other. He was always the one who kept jibber-jabbering all the time.
Right then, Tobias’ phone rang. Leaving his meal unfinished, he picked up the car keys and instructed
the maid to hand him the coat.
Claudia immediately stopped him. “What happened? Can’t you leave after the meal?”
Tobias hesitated for a few seconds before he replied, “Something came up. I have to head to the
company. You enjoy your meal. I’ll see you next week.”
Claudia called out to Tobias, but he left in a hurry without looking back.

Sheldon couldn’t help but whine, “Mom, why must you make him stay? I can accompany you. You’re
biased towards Tobias, Mom. You’re always worried about his marriage and you’ve never once cared
about me. I’m not that young anymore. Don’t you think I should settle down and get married?”
Claudia held her head with one hand and pinched her brows. “I had high hopes for Tobias. I expect him
to get married and have a child soon. But I guess it’s not going to happen. Do as you please, Sheldon.
Pick a few women from our family friends and choose the one whom you like.”
Upon hearing that, the smirk on his face faded. Sheldon cleared his throat and asked with a serious
look, “Can’t I go for the woman I like? Why must I pick one from our family friends? Those heiresses
are spoilt and pretentious. We’re living in modern times now. Who still cares about social status?”
Claudia raised her volume. “Stop dreaming! I’m doing this for your own good. Don’t behave like your
brother and never get yourself a promiscuous woman. I loathe those gold-diggers who are calculating
and materialistic. Just like Skylar Jones, she’s a shameless woman and has ruined our family.
Sheldon was lost in his thoughts. Judging from Claudia’s attitude towards Skylar, his mother would
never accept Winnie. Claudia spoke of Skylar as if the latter was an unforgivable sinner.
By the time Tobias arrived at the hospital, Skylar had undergone surgery. She was still under
observation in the operation theater.
Tobias looked anxious when he arrived. Hannah didn’t expect to see him there. If she knew Tobias
would come over, she would’ve contacted him in the first place.
Hannah gazed at Tobias. He was holding his black coat and talking to Kate outside the operation
theater.
The red light above the door was off, yet Skylar was still inside. Tobias started getting worried until Kate
told him that the doctor was observing Skylar’s condition.

disbelief. She was provoked by his reaction. She suppressed her anger towards him and kept the
emotion to herself.
Kate was worried sick about Skylar, yet Tobias just took a glance at the door and left without looking
back. He’s such a cold-hearted man.
Kate tactfully asked, “Mr. Ford, are you leaving now? Skylar may look for you after she regains her
consciousness.”
With one hand in his pocket, Tobias glanced at her with a condescending sneer. “I’m heading to the
counter to pay the expenses. If I don’t do it, who will handle it for her?”
Kate realized that she had misunderstood him.
Tobias went to the ward after he settled the payment. When he saw Skylar, she had regained her
consciousness.
