My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul novel Chapter 1457

Every member of the Martin family knew what these negative items could bring them. Each person had their motives and was quite shrewd.

They all realized that once Ernest passed away, their branch of the family would undoubtedly fall apart, and their circumstances would not compare to what they had now.

Hence, if they didn't make plans now, it would be too late to act when everything was lost. They weren't fools.

They silently took back their respective negative items and talismans, not bothering to ask anyone about their usefulness.

At that moment, they all believed their negative items were more potent and would grant them their desires.

…

In the car, Skylar shared the details of the negative items with Joe. Joe listened without much expression. With his memory loss, he felt no familial connection to Ernest or the others.

He had already learned about their past actions from Paul, and his feelings toward them were even more distant now.

"They brought this upon themselves. They'll have to deal with the consequences. We don't have to concern ourselves with them," Joe stated.

Skylar playfully asked, "Don't you want to know what impact these negative items could have on you?"

Joe glanced at her, his deep-set eyes reflecting only the woman before him. With a confident tone, he replied, "With you by my side, those things can't harm me."

Skylar found herself momentarily speechless before she couldn't help but laugh. "You're right about that."

They had developed a tacit understanding between them.

Now that she had identified the negative items and fully understood their nature, there was no way she would leave without taking action.

Both Skylar and Joe had felt relieved. But everything changed so drastically in less than a day.

"Don't panic. Let's get to the hospital first," Joe said calmly, his voice steady and free from any sign of panic.

Skylar nodded, but a heavy weight pressed on her chest, making it hard to breathe. An ominous feeling loomed over her.

They soon arrived at the hospital. As Skylar spotted Edwin waiting anxiously outside the ward, Skylar immediately understood why Gloria's condition had deteriorated so suddenly. This sudden turn of events must be due to Edwin.

She had nearly forgotten about him.

Edwin looked up as he sensed someone approaching. Upon recognizing Joe and Skylar, he initially seemed taken aback, but his weary face soon bore a look of guilt.

He said, "I didn't realize my mom's health was so poor. Why didn't anyone tell me?"
