The servant nodded quickly and went to make the call. Every time Skyler touched the cotton on her wound, Jocelyn’s eyes that were closed from the pain would tremble involuntarily. Skyler looked at the curvature of her raised chin and it looked like a swan lifting its neck when it was about to take off. The curvature was so extraordinarily beautiful.
It was a pity that this swan’s neck was scratched.
His Adam’s apple could not help but move slightly and his movements became unconsciously gentler.
Jocelyn could not stop herself from saying, “Mr. Moore, are you done?”. Skyler remembered that she had called his name when she was feeling urgent before, but now she had become calm and distant again. There was a look of contingency on his face and there was a hint of irony in his voice, “Aren’t you pretty bad*ss when you face me? Didn’t you also fight in Moon Pavilion before, so how can you get beaten by a woman? Where did the energy that you used to beat Giada go?” Jocelyn’s face was tense. She opened her eyes slightly and glanced at Skyler. “I sprained my foot.”
Skyler snorted softly, “Is that why you turned from Joan of Arc to Virgin Mary?”
It was the first time Jocelyn heard Skyler make such a stupid joke, and for some reason, he seemed to be a little more approachable.
She could not hold back, and the corner of her mouth raised slightly. “I’m not that weak, I was just caught off guard.” Skyler raised his eyebrows. “Yes, so remember you have to be vigilant at all times.”
Jocelyn’s eyes were like crescent moons, and she was smoking softly. “Alright, I’ll remember that.”
Skyler sanitized Jocelyn carefully. It was as if Lily was something germ-laden and filthy. He disinfected her wound repeatedly, Then, he asked the servant beside him, “What happened?”
The servant had a good memory and retold the conversation between Jocelyn and Lily, how Lily disregarded everything and threatened Jocelyn, and how Lily pounced on Jocelyn like a mad dog. Skyler was not angry anymore. He just said, “Don’t let that mad dog inside again in the future, or else, you can kiss your job goodbye.”
The servant nodded quickly.
The doctor arrived soon after, and Jocelyn received two shots in the arm.
The doctor also brought anti-inflammatories to heal her wounds and an ointment to get rid of the scars.
Skyler was very excited to treat Jocelyn’s wound today. Therefore, when Michael came, Skyler was putting medicine on Jocelyn’s neck.
When Michael saw Lily curled up against the wall with blood and tears on her face, he felt a little distressed.
After all, that was his biological daughter.

However, since Skyler did not say anything, then he also did not dare to say anything so easily.
Skyler ignored him and quietly treated Jocelyn’s wound. In order to facilitate the absorption of the powder and the ventilation of the wound, Skyler wrapped several loops of gauze around Jocelyn’s neck to cover the wound. After he was done, he lowered his eyes and looked at Jocelyn’s fair face. Then, he said something astonishing, “You look like you died on the gallows.”
The corner of Jocelyn’s mouth twitched a few times. She understood what Skyler meant. When a person was hanged, there would be a white damask cloth around their neck. After Skyler finished doing this, he said directly, “Help her upstairs.”
The servant came over immediately and reached out to help Jocelyn.
Jocelyn’s eyes shone. She could tell that Skyler did not want her involved in his handling of this.
After all, she was also a White.
It was a pity that she did not have any relationship with the White family now.
Jocelyn disappeared at the head of the stairs and Skyler sat down on the sofa.
He looked at Michael and said in a low voice, “Speaking of which, I can address you as my father-in-law, but you don’t want to be my father-in-law and you like to go against me, so you’re giving me no choice.”
Michael was nervous and hurriedly said, “President Moore, Lily is still young, so she is ignorant. I will apologize to you for her mistakes. Please don’t split hairs with her for jocelyn’s sake.”
Skyler snorted coldly. When he thought of Jocelyn’s injury, his voice was a little angry, “She is still young? Isn’t she the same age as Jocelyn, Mr. White?”
Michael was too scared to say a word,
Skyler looked at Michael sarcastically. “Besides, she scratched Jocelyn and I must forgive her for Jocelyn’s sake. Mr. White, what do you take Jocelyn and me for?”
Skyler’s tone was calm and unhurried, but Michael was so frightened that his legs were weak.” President Moore, it’s my fault. I didn’t discipline her well. I apologize on behalf of Lily to you and Jocelyn. I’m really sorry! After I go back, I will definitely teach her a lesson!”
Skyler ignored Michael’s apology and said bluntly, “You should lock your mad dog properly at home. This is not a place where she can run wild. If she is in a hurry to die, then her corpse will only be thrown into the wilderness.” Michael’s face turned white and then grey. He glanced at Lily who was curled up on the ground like she was a disappointment and nodded repeatedly. “President Moore, I understand, this kind of thing will never happen again!” Skyler stood up from the sofa and said lazily, “It’s best if you can understand. Also, it doesn’t matter if Lily is injured or disabled, she must get a marriage certificate with Chad today. I have already agreed with the Jones family, and they are very happy to welcome Lily into their family. You shouldn’t miss this opportunity.”
Skyler deliberately emphasized the word today. Every time he said a word, Michael’s heart would sink a little more. When he heard this, he nodded quickly. “We’ll definitely get the marriage certificate today, and when they get the certificate, I’ll send the thing to you, President Moore!”
Skyler glanced at him, giving him a look that said before turning to go upstairs, “It’s good that you’re self- aware.” Michael walked over and stretched out his hand to help his daughter up. Then, he looked at her in distress and anger before rushing her to the hospital. Michael helped Lily out of No. 1, North Court. Lily was so frightened that she did not dare to say a word. The moment she stepped out of the door, she felt like she had gone out of the devil’s territory. Hér whole body was in excruciating pain, and she burst into tears. Michael glared at her angrily. “You still have the nerve to cry. You’ve ruined everything!” Lily was in so much pain that she covered her stomach with one hand. There was a pained expression on her face, and she clutched her face with another hand. “Dad! I’m disfigured…” Michael was angry and helpless. “It’s okay, if Skyler is the one who said something, even if you are disfigured, the Jones family will still agree for you to marry into their family. Stop being so stupid in the future anymore. The Quirrel family is completely destroyed, don’t you know?”
Lily turned around suddenly and stared at Michael in shock. “What?”
