Fell Into His Love Trap (Skylar and Tobias) novel Chapter 211

“Yeah, I had some spaghetti,” she lied.

Tobias tightened his grip on her wrist slightly. “Join me for lunch. I’m starving, and it feels lonely eating all by myself.”

Skylar didn’t believe him one bit.

“Don’t lie to me! I saw you come here with a bunch of people, so how could you possibly be lonely? Anyway, I have to go. My mom is still waiting for me to bring her lunch, and she hasn’t eaten anything since morning.”

The Cardiology Department and Psychiatric Rehabilitation Department were on different floors, so Tobias could only follow her as far as the elevator.

“How’s your mom doing?” Skylar asked while waiting for the elevator.

“She’s alright. We haven’t decided on whether she’ll be getting a coronary bypass or a heart transplant. The problem with the latter is that it’ll take time to find a donor…” Tobias was clearly fatigued and stressed out when he said that.

Skylar gave him a pat on the shoulder and reassured him in her most mature-sounding voice possible, “Everything will be alright.”

She was so caught up in the moment that she didn’t even realize the elevator arriving. Noticing that, Tobias decided to keep quiet about it as he wanted to spend more time with her.

By the time she realized it, the elevator was already going up.

“Come on, we’ll take the stairs.” Tobias took the food over from her and began walking towards the stairwell.

With her food in his hands, she had no choice but to follow him up the stairs.

He only handed the food back to her when they arrived on the seventh floor. “Go home earlier tonight, and make sure to stay away from places that are dark.”

That was by far the most heartwarming thing she had ever heard from him.

Even so, she couldn’t do as he said as Miranda had a blood test scheduled very early the next morning, so she had to spend the night in the hospital.

While Skylar burned bright red from being seen kissing, Tobias was completely unfazed by it.

He even pinched Skylar on the cheek in front of Susan as he said, “I’ll be staying in the hospital for the next two days as well, so just call me if you need anything.”

“Okay.” Skylar nodded and flashed Susan a polite smile before leaving.

He waited till she was far away before shooting Susan a cold glare. “So, did you just happened to pass by, or were you actually looking for me?”

“Mrs. Ford had me come looking for you, says she has something to tell you. I think she’s really worried about the surgery going wrong.”

“Got it. Susan, you’ve been working with me for a really long time now. I hope you know what you should and shouldn’t do.”

Susan pursed her lips. “Do you not trust me, Mr. Ford?”
