Skylar did not say anything. After all, he did not have the full confidence that the fetus would survive.
Soon after that, Lillian was pushed into the operating room and Coralie was pushed into the normal
ward after examination.
"It's not a serious problem. It's true that for the first six weeks, the chances of miscarriage are higher
and Coralie had shown signs of miscarriage. However, the fetus seems to be safe for now. We will
need to keep Coralie under observation but if the pregnancy worsens in a week, I suggest that you
undergo an abortion."
The doctor said to Skylar and Coralie after he read the evaluation report.
"Why? Doctor, maybe the child is strong enough to survive."
When Coralie heard that the doctor would make a decision after a week, she was unwilling to accept it.
It was not easy for her to have a child with her condition, therefore she could not give him up so easily!
"Well, the child would also need to fight to survive. Miscarriage could be caused by external factors but
it could also be because of the abnormality in the fetus' chromosomes. Let's observe for now. If there
really is a problem with the fetus, then it is not advisable to keep the baby, for both the baby and the
mother."
The doctors had seen many patients like Coralie, but since he saw that her husband was Skylar, he
had to explain more in detail.
"If there is any problem with my child, I will find a solution to treat it."
Skylar also thought that no matter what, they would need to keep the child alive. Now that science and
technology was so developed, as long as the child could safely be born, even if there were any
illnesses, there would still be a way to treat it.
"Skylar." Harvey could not bear to watch any longer. "It's not as easy as you think. There are many
congenital diseases that can't be treated. When such a child is born, it will only bring suffering to both
the child and the parents. Let's monitor the condition after a week."
Skylar could not persist anymore after he heard Harvey's words.
Before the doctor left, he told Coralie what she needed to take note of during the time of recovery. After
that, Harvey left too.
"What do you want to eat? I'll buy it for you."
As Skylar had rushed to the hospital alone, there was no one around him to instruct. He had to do
everything on his own now.
"No, I'm just a little thirsty. Could you pour me a glass of water?"
"Okay." Skylar poured a glass of water and handed it to Coralie. He consoled her and said, "Don't
worry, the baby will be fine."
"Okay..." Coralie drank the water and suddenly asked, "By the way, did the police manage to arrest the
kidnappers?"
"Why are you concerned about this?"
"One of the kidnappers was the murderer who killed my father, but he said..."
Coralie told Skylar what Finley had told her when she was abducted.
When Coralie mentioned Finley who went to prison on behalf of a rich young lady, Skylar connected
the dots and guessed that the rich young lady was Valerie.
However, he knew that this matter needed to investigate thoroughly, and...
He would also need some real evidence.
As they wanted to keep the fetus alive, Coralie would need to have plenty of rest. Skylar found a
personal maid to serve her and also a housekeeper to take care of Coralie's daily meals.
After Coralie settled down at home, Skylar returned to the Skyton Corporation the next day.
Valerie was still locked up in the lounge, but at that moment, when she heard that Coralie had been
rescued, she was so angry that she gritted her teeth.
When Skylar was at Skyton Corporation, Ned had arrived too. He said, "We've found a minivan in the
river near the commercial street. The two kidnappers that escaped were in the minivan and they were
found dead. The suitcases of money have also been found in the minivan."
"What about that thing?"
Skylar asked when he heard the news.
"The recording device was damaged from the water, but it has been sent for repair. After it is fixed, I will
contact you."
"Alright."
Skylar nodded.
He thought that Ned was leaving, but he did not expect that Ned would point to the lounge and say,
"We found the mobile phones in the minivan and have gotten the confession from the kidnappers to
prove that Valerie has something to do with this kidnapping. We will take her away for interrogation."
"Take her away but keep an eye on her. We can't let her off this easily. Do not agree to let anyone
release her on bail."
Skylar knew that it was impossible for him to keep Valerie locked up in his office forever. Handing her
over to the police was the best option.
As the police brought Valerie out from the lounge, Valerie looked at Skylar in despair and said, "Skylar,
please listen to me, I really did not know..."
At that moment, she was already in handcuffs. As she passed by Skylar, she held onto Skylar's
sleeves.
He glanced at her. There were no emotions in his dark eyes. "I will make sure you get what you
deserve."
Valerie had originally wanted to reply but the look in Skylar's eyes made her fall into despair.
It was as if everything was within his control.
After Skylar had dealt with Valerie, Hazel came out from her office in her high heels.
Her heels clicked loudly against the floor.
"President Holland, are you cutting all ties with her?"
"Just do your job well. I have not settled the score with you yet from the last time you treated my wife
like that."
Skylar was very dissatisfied with the way Hazel had spoken to Coralie the last time she visited him in
his office. However, there were no suitable candidates to replace Hazel yet.
"President Holland, in which aspect am I not better than Coralie?"
Hazel could not hold it in her heart anymore after she had heard what Skylar said! Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
Coralie was such an ordinary woman. What was so good about her? In the past few days, when
Coralie had been kidnapped, Skylar had been genuinely worried. However, she could not understand
why Coralie was better than her.
Why would such an outstanding man like Skylar be in love with Coralie?
Even though Jayson had tried to advise her previously, she still could not feel at ease!
"You're nowhere near worthy to be compared to her."
After Skylar finished his words, he walked out of the office and prepared to visit Coralie.
Hazel, who stood behind him, was so angry that she clenched her fists. Other men had always held her
in their arms. Even though she was in her thirties, she was still more beautiful than ordinary women.
However, how could Skylar say that she was not even worthy to be compared to Coralie?
When Skylar arrived at the hospital, he saw a man wearing silver framed glasses standing at the
entrance of the hospital.
The moment that man saw Skylar, the first thing he said was, "I want to bail Valerie out."
"Jasper, you've received word fast."
Skylar was a little surprised. The police had just arrested Valerie and Jasper had already come looking
for him.
"It's normal. Skylar, you have said back then that you will give us the project if we held a wedding
ceremony. Are you trying to break that deal?"
Jasper was a businessman. He could only speculate Skylar's behavior from the perspective of a
businessman.
If Valerie was to go to prison, then it would be impossible for Skylar's to keep that promise. Therefore, it
would be impossible for the project to be handed over to the Zac family.
Skylar glanced at Jasper. Under the transparent lenses, Jasper's eyes were sharp as an eagle. Skylar
curled his lips slightly and said, "You can still take the project, but if you want to marry Valerie, I'm afraid
you will have to wait."
"What do you mean?"
Jasper did not expect that Skylar would agree to hand over the project to him so easily.
"Don't worry, you will find out soon. When the time comes, you can decide whether or not you still want
to marry her."
As Skylar spoke, he walked past Jasper and entered the hospital.
