Chapter 1632
Elsie said earnestly, "I... I trust you completely. I understand now that you are the best person for me. You've done so much for me without asking for anything in return. When Joe and I are together, I'll repay you."
She truly meant it. She would repay her.
Hearing her words, the woman on the other end of the line chuckled softly. "Okay."
After hanging up, Elsie stared out the window. She knew she wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.
She instantly regained memories of her past life when she took the items the woman gave her. If everything went as planned, Joe might recover his memories tonight. If he did, he would seek her out that very night. After all, in their past life, his possessiveness was overwhelming. He couldn't stand not knowing her whereabouts. After awakening such intense feelings, he would certainly seek her out.
"I'll wait for you," she thought, staring deeply at the city lights through the window. As the familiar scene passed, she felt like she was walking down a path toward a bright future.

On the ride back, Lucas glanced at Joe in the back seat. After leaving the golf course, Joe started to feel unwell.
"Mr. Martin, are you feeling alright? There's a hospital just ahead. Would you like me to stop and take you to see a doctor?" Lucas asked.
Joe looked at Lucas, his gaze unfocused, as though he was looking through a mist.
"Take me home. Call Skylar and tell her to come home."
After speaking, Joe closed his eyes. He didn't look like himself at all.noveldrama
Lucas was startled. He had never seen Joe like this before. Quickly, he called Skylar.
As soon as the phone call connected, Lucas' anxious voice came through. "Mrs. Martin, Mr. Martin isn't feeling well. Are you at home?"
Skylar, who was having lunch with Simona and Caleb, immediately felt her smile fade after hearing Lucas' words. "I'll head home right now."
She quickly grabbed her bag and said to them, "Let's plan for another time."
Simona froze for a moment before nodding. "Sure. We'll meet next time."
She could tell that Skylar was in a rush. Something must have happened. It was the only explanation for Skylar's sudden change in demeanor after answering the call.
Caleb commented, "It must be Joe asking her to come home. It's the weekend, and he won't let her stay out with friends? He's way too clingy, isn't he?"
As the CEO of Martin Group, Joe was decisive and feared by many in the business world. But privately, he was clingy.
If people knew this, they would never believe it.
Simona raised an eyebrow. "No way. Are you still into Skylar? Sounds like jealousy in your voice."
She couldn't believe that Caleb had become so sentimental.
She could understand his past crush on Skylar but that had been years ago. Now, he wasn't even seeing anyone, and he still seemed to be holding on to feelings for he

Caleb's face flushed. "Stop making up stories. Skylar is my mentor. She teaches me things every day. I'm just standing up for her."
He just couldn't stand Joe. He felt Joe didn't deserve Skylar.
Simona smirked. "Yeah, keep telling yourself that. If it makes you happy, go ahead. But seriously, you should find yourself a girlfriend. It's time." "I don't want one. Women are too much trouble."
"And men aren't troublesome?" Simona rolled her eyes.
Caleb groaned. "Alright, let's not argue every time we meet. Didn't you say your brother and Wendy are dating now? What's going on with them?"
Simona's expression darkened as
she began to vent. "Aiken is such a scumbag when it comes to
relationships. He doesn't want to get married, but he's stringing Wendy along. en
"I'm so frustrated with him. And Wendy, she's completely devoted to him-she's hopeless. I don't know what to say about them. Honestly, I feel bad for her. She met him in her prime and ended up falling for him like this."
