Chapter 1340
Gloria was taken aback. “What is it that is more important?”
“Taking you to the hospital for a check–up, of course,” Skylar replied.
She knew Gloria disliked going to the hospital, but she felt more at ease if they went for the
scheduled check–up. If anything was wrong, they could address it immediately.
When Gloria heard it was for a check–up, she sighed. “The doctor just came to the house yesterday
and said I was fine. Do we really need to go to the hospital?”
Right now, Gloria looked like a child who didn’t want to go. Skylar couldn’t help but laugh and
gently persuade her, “The hospital can do a more thorough examination.”
“Mrs. Martin is right. We should go to the hospital,” Veronica agreed.
“Alright, alright. I can’t argue with the two of you. Let’s go then.”
Gloria knew deep down that more tests wouldn’t make much difference. She knew her own
condition the best.
However, now that she knew Joe was still alive, she had the will to keep going. She wanted to stay
for as long as possible, to be there for Skylar so that she wouldn’t have to face things alone.
After breakfast, the three of them headed to the hospital. On the way, Gloria suddenly recalled the
recent appearance of cursed items back in the country and asked curiously, “Has Viola’s brother
shown up again recently?”
“We have found some cursed items. So, it’s likely that he has shown up again. Mr. Gardner Senior
has some people looking for him. If there’s any news, he will let me know.
“But given the recent incidents, many people in Jipsburg are on high alert and won’t be caught off
guard easily,” Skylar replied.
With so much happening lately, she hadn’t had time to think about what was going on in Jipsburg.
Gloria nodded and said, “You’ve always had a lot to bear. If anything comes up, don’t keep it bottled up–talk to me, understand?”
“I’ve never kept any secrets from you, Grandma.”
“Haha, look at you. By the way, your mother and brothers will be coming over soon, right? Just let
them stay with us when they’re here. Since it’s just a few of us here, it’d be nice to liven things up
a bit,” Gloria suggested.
Skylar had been a bit concerned about Gloria’s health. She needed some quiet and peace, so Skylar wondered if three extra people might be too much for her.

But hearing Gloria’s invitation, she nodded. “They haven’t booked their tickets yet, but they should
be coming over soon.”
They arrived at the hospital while they were chatting.
They had appointments scheduled every two weeks. Unlike the crowded hospitals back home,
this hospital was quiet.
After meeting the doctor, Skylar accompanied Gloria for several routine tests. Some of the procedures required Skylar to wait outside.
While waiting, she suddenly heard someone calling out to her. So, she looked up to see who it was.
“It’s really you,” Rosa’s tone immediately turned icy
She never imagined she would run into Skylar here while handling her own pre–surgery
preparations.
This had to be deliberate, right? Was Skylar here because she somehow found out about the surgery and came so that she could run into Joe in the hospital?
How could someone be so shameless?
Skylar was also surprised to see Rosa.
“What are you doing here at the hospital? Didn’t you say enough yesterday? Or are you here to continue?” Veronica shot out. She had never lost to anyone in a verbal spar.
