Richest Mogul

Chapter 9

Worried that Gloria might be in a hurry, Skylar asked immediately. “Which hospital was he taken to? I’ll come over right now.”

After Gloria told her the hospital’s name, Skylar hung up swiftly. Casting an apologetic look at her family, she said, “Something happened to Grandma Gloria. I have to go check on her. I’ll come back in a few days once things settle down.”

The Sullivans had all heard of Gloria. They knew she was Viola’s friend.

Janine sighed after Skylar left. “The Williamses probably mistreated Skye. As her mom, how could I not tell what has happened to her? She’s keeping us in the dark because she doesn’t want us to worry.”

Steven was usually calm and composed, yet his expression turned grim at that moment. “I’ll talk to her check in with her more from now on.”

“I’ll also pay more attention to Skye, Charles chimed in.

“I’ll fight the Williamses if they dare to lay a finger on Skye!” Harvey said haughtily. He was still a teenager, after all.

Skylar arrived at the hospital promptly. Spotting an anxious Gloria in the corridor, she hurried over to her.

“Grandma.”

Gloria grabbed her hand hastily. “Skye, you have no idea how horrifying it was! It was a chain accident! The car right in front of Joe was crushed. I was so close to not being able to see him again!”

Skylar had seen the news on her way to the hospital. She was aware that a very tragic chain accident had occurred on the overpass, and more than a dozen cars had collided with each other.

One of the cars had been crushed by an overturned tanker, and everyone inside had died on the spot. The other victims of the accident were also injured, and they had immediately been rushed to the hospital The news hadn’t specified other details.

Looking at how devastated Gloria seemed, it seemed like Joe had been badly injured.

“Don’t worry, Grandma. Joe will definitely be fine,” Skylar crooned. Gloria nodded with teary eyes.

Skylar’s soothing voice was the first thing Joe heard once he left the consultation room. Gloria seemed more at ease after Skylar had comforted her.

“Joe! What did the doctor say?” Gloria inquired in haste. She scrutinized him carefully, worried that he might be injured.

Joe patiently replied, “I’ve done all the necessary tests. The doctor said I’m fine, so rest assured.”

“Thank god!”
