Escape From My Step Brother's Dangerous Obsession (Skylar and Callias)

Lukas's eyes flickered slightly, "The one who tampered with the drink at the Yun family banquet before?"

Martins nodded. "When he infiltrated the Yun family banquet, he used a fake name. Despite that, our people found out his identity and tracked him all the way abroad. Some days passed, and he thought it was over, so he used his phone and bank card, which made it easy for our people to catch him and bring him back to Mediopolis. They just arrived in the country. Take a look."

Lukas pondered for a moment: "Send the person to Hidden Amethyst Cove Gardens"noveldrama

Lukas hung up the phone, glanced at the room where Skylar stayed, and turned to leave.

Not long after Lukas left, Ella arrived at the hospital.

Skylar's P.O.V.

Not long after Anthony left, Ava arrived at the hospital ward with Cole in tow. As they entered the room, Ava couldn't help but frown upon seeing it empty. "Where's Dr. Rivers?" she inquired, expecting to find him by my side.

I explained, "He has other things to do, so he can't be here all the time." I understood that doctors often had busy schedules and couldn't always be present. Ava's puzzlement grew, and she asked, "What about Lukas, where did he go?"

My face changed slightly, "He's here?"

Ava nodded, providing more information, "Yes, I was downstairs, and I saw him coming with Director Hopkins. He even asked me where you were."

My frown deepened, "But I didn't see him." The realization that Lukas had been in the hospital and had asked about me whereabouts without my noticing left me feeling uneasy.

My heart was suddenly in turmoil, trying to make sense of why Lukas would come and then leave without seeing me. It was unusual behavior for him, and I couldn't help but wonder if something had happened Ava tried to offer a possible explanation, "It's possible that there was an emergency, and he left temporarily." She wanted to ease my worry and provide a plausible reason for Lukas's unexpected departure.

I nodded absentmindedly, my mind still preoccupied with thoughts of his sudden visit and departure. "It's possible," I repeated, trying to convince myself that there was a logical explanation for Lukas's actions.

Ava asked me, "Skylar, when are you leaving? I've brought back all the medicines the doctor prescribed for you, let me send you back with Director Hopkins."

I pursed my lips, "Let's wait a bit longer, Dr. Rivers asked me to wait a bit, I'll leave after he comes back"

At this time, Cole's cell phone rang.

He said, "I'm going out to take a call."

As soon as Cole went out, I immediately asked Ava, "You didn't tell him how we got injured, did you?"

Ava shook her head: "I didn't say, he asked me, I just vaguely mentioned a few words. Seeing that I didn't want to talk about it, he didn't ask further."

I gave her a look of frustration. "I told you to spend more time with Cole. Why did you come back? The moment you two entered, I felt like getting frustrated."

Ava was a bit embarrassed. "He offered to come over to see you, and I couldn't refuse." She said.

I looked at her incredulously. " Not refusing him results in me being irritated with you. You silly girl only know how to silently dedicate yourself and can't say a word in front of him. How can things between you and Cole progress if you keep acting like that?" I said out of frustration.

Ava lowered her head, looking a little downcast and silent.

Cole received a call from Lukas, who told him that he had a bit of an emergency and asked him to speak to me.

Lukas was not stupid and knew that when he saw Ava, he would not be able to hide the fact that he had been to the hospital from me, so he told Cole.

Cole immediately returned to the hospital room and explained the matter to me and Ava. The three of us sat in the hospital room and chatted afterward, talking about some of the things we did when we were still in school.

Third person P.O.V.

At the same time, Ella was sitting in the dean's office, looking at Anthony with red eyes.

"I just heard the nurse say that you were with Skylar just now."

Ella felt an inexplicable sense of resentment when she heard this news.

However, she was even more upset when she thought about her current reputation and that it was impossible for the Rivers family to let her back in.

Anthony frowned. "Skylar was injured, so I went to see her out of my duty as a doctor. What's the matter with you looking for me?"

Ella's face was ghastly and sad, she bit her lip and held back the tears in her eyes. "Anthony, you don't have to be so impatient, I'm about to get married to Gerald, so I won't delay you for too long," she said. Anthony was silent.

Ella sadly reaches out and rubs her eyes and continues to look at him, "Until now, I just want to seek clarity. Were you hesitant to marry me before because of Skylar?"

Anthony's face turned unpleasant, and he looked at her, "You're overthinking it. What does this matter have to do with Skylar?"

"Then why are you so good to her?" Ella couldn't hold back any longer and her voice sounded somewhat hysterical.

Anthony frowned even more, "Okay, since you're begging for clarity, then I'll give you clarity. I'm not marrying you simply because I just don't want to marry someone I don't love. This has nothing to do with Skylar. And the reason why I'm being nice to her, it's only because when I was in trouble some time ago, she helped me out of my predicament. I appreciated her for her character, and that's all!"

Ella was still unwilling: "So, the way you protected her at the banquet was also because you admire her?"

Anthony looked at Ella, a flash of impatience in the bottom of his eyes: "She is my friend. I invited her to attend my mother's birthday banquet as a friend. Shouldn't I stand up for her, as a friend? Also, Ella, grow a little bit of sense in your brain, won't you? At that time in the banquet, it was Elena who didn't like Skylar and intentionally provoked her. Don't just rely on Elena's one-sided words to target Skylar.

"I don't know why you would come to the conclusion that I won't marry you because of Skylar, but I must make it clear to you:

don't believe in Elena's words. While Elias was hospitalized in Rivers Health Medical Center, I saw her many times on the pretext of looking at Elias, but she pestered Lukas instead. She never liked Skylar from the beginning. Since Skylar is exceptionally talented and favored by Lukas, Elena has been targeting her. Don't let others manipulate you and remain oblivious to the truth."
