You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie)

Chapter 108

"A sure-fire way to make a woman pregnant?"

On the other side of the phone, Harvey, who was a doctor, furrowed his brows and repeated when he

heard Skylar's indiscreet question.

"Yes," Skylar replied curtly.

"First of all, you have to be sure that both you and your wife have no fertility issues. Following that, the

chance of your wife getting pregnant will be higher. However, there are no methods that would

guarantee a 100% success no matter if it's through natural conception or vitro fertilization."

Harvey explained.

"What about natural conception?" Skylar asked.

Meanwhile, Coralie, who was beside Skylar, could not figure out what was on his mind.

She was starting to question whether Skylar was planning to get her pregnant and use that as a token

to bargain with his parents.

"The simplest way is to do an ultrasound on a regular basis to check the ovulation period. It will

improve the probability of success if you try harder during ovulation," Harvey explained.

"I see," Skylar replied.

He was holding onto his mobile phone and he seemed a little depressed.

"Skylar, don't be hasty. I heard about your family's problems from your grandmother, who is staying at

my hospital. I think it's better for you to come up with a proper plan." Harvey could feel that Skylar was

being a little strange, thus he advised, "This doesn't seem like your way of doing things. You'd better

rest and calm your nerves."

Harvey and Skylar had known each other for many years.

They were best friends who would keep no secrets from each other but Skylar rarely told him about

Coralie.

In fact, Harvey had figured out their relationship on his own.

After listening to Harvey's advice, the knuckles on Skylar's hand, which was holding the mobile phone,

turned pale. After a moment of silence, he replied, "I know. I will go to you if I need help."

Following that, he hung up the phone.

Coralie stood beside him and said nothing.

She was a little overwhelmed as she watched Skylar, who was so eager, asked Harvey for a solution

on how to get pregnant.

"I don't think we need to worry too much about the baby."

Coralie beat around the bush as she spoke.

On the other hand, Skylar was silent. He realized that his previous behavior was too childish as well.

How did he even come up with a way to use pregnancy to persuade his parents? There should be a

better way to make his parents come around.

"Sorry, I went too far just now," Skylar said apologetically.

"I know that you want me to stay and there must be a way to do that," Coralie reassured him.

At this point, Coralie could only comfort Skylar. In fact, she was directing those words to herself as well.

After all, things were currently fine between them but their future seemed bleak.

"Well, leave it to me. I'll think of a way."

Skylar replied and patted Coralie's arm.

There were no problems that he could not solve in the business world. Therefore, what was so difficult

about love?

It would eventually be resolved.

In the end, the Holland family was the root of all problems and. he was the only one who could solve

them.

......

It was almost Christmas and most of the work was completed. Therefore, the management of the

company decided to be more lenient toward the employees by allowing them to get off earlier provided

that they finished their respective works.

The fiscal year was over and the finance department had little to do.

There were several colleagues who were still around and they were chatting in the office.

Currently, Coralie was the center of attention because she was around and Joanna was not.

"Coralie, I got my hands on a piece of news today. Do you want to hear it?"

A colleague asked.

At the same time, Coralie was texting with Josephine on her mobile phone. It was Christmas and it was

impossible for her to visit Josephine. However, she insisted on buying a present for Josephine's child.

"What's the matter? Tell me about it," Coralie replied absent-mindedly. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

Recently, Coralie was on good terms with everyone and there was nothing going on.

However, Joanna was not around, thus she did not expect any sort of breaking news.

"Today, I heard from the human resources department that President Holland's... Friend, I guess. She

seemed to have applied for a job in advance. Not only that, but she will be on equal footing with

Lorraine once she enters the company," the colleague explained.

Meanwhile, Coralie was transferring some money for Josephine to buy some present for Josephine's

child. Immediately, her fingers stopped when she heard the news.

"Is that true?"

It was Felicia who asked. Felicia knew the relationship between Coralie and Skylar. Additionally, she

knew how everyone thought that Valerie was Skylar's girlfriend as well.

"Yes. She completed her master's degree in April. Rumor has it that a lot of the foreign companies

wanted to hire her but she was keen on joining Skyton Corporation." The colleague glanced at Coralie

sympathetically and continued, "Everyone can see why she is here."

The truth was everyone realized that Coralie was not a bad colleague. She was low-key, warm-hearted

and she would help out whenever she could.

Therefore, it was natural for them to take her side.

"Well, it's normal for her to be on equal footing with Lorraine with her qualifications," Coralie replied.

Following that, she snapped back to her senses and continued transferring the money to Josephine for

the latter to buy presents.

In truth, she knew that she was not in the position to ask for more. She should be content that Skylar

was good to her.

Yet, she could not force him to cut off all ties with Valerie. Even if Skylar agreed to it, Lillian would not

condone.

"Alas, who cares about Lorraine? We're worried about you," The colleague pondered for a while and

asked curiously, "Coralie, what's your relationship with President Holland? At the previous annual

dinner, someone from the human resources department said that you're married..."

After all, Joanna was gossiping about it, thus everyone knew the relationship between Coralie and

Skylar. Although they were not very clear about their exact relationship, all kinds of signs showed that

they were definitely not just ordinary friends.

In the meantime, Felicia stared at Coralie and she was worried about what the latter would say.

"I can't tell you anything for the time being. I'm sorry," Coralie apologized sincerely.

After all, her marriage with Skylar was contractual and nothing was certain after their agreement

expired.

The colleagues nodded their heads as an understanding upon hearing her reply. One of them said,

"We understand. The Holland family forbids you from talking about it, right?"

They knew that Coralie was just a girl from an ordinary family and the Holland family would certainly be

ashamed if she married Skylar. That was why the Holland family would not allow her to talk about it.

On the other hand, Coralie did not answer the question but continued texting with Josephine.

In the meantime, Josephine was overjoyed and she nearly cried tears of excitement when she received

500 dollars from Coralie.

She thanked Coralie continuously when she spotted the payment amount. "Thank you, Coralie. Are

you free today? I'll treat you to dinner."

Yet, how could Coralie let Josephine treat her to dinner? She typed, "No need for that. It's not like I

don't know about your condition."

"No, I'll treat you to coffee then. Recently, I made some bracelets at home and sold them online. It's

doing well and I'll give you one when I see you."

Josephine insisted.

In the end, Coralie took a half-day leave and met with Josephine over a cup of coffee.

......

In the cafe, Josephine was already waiting for Coralie when the latter arrived.

Following that, Coralie walked over to Josephine's table and realized that the latter's complexion

seemed much better than before. Coralie asked her smilingly, "You look so much better recently. Did

Andrew start working harder? Are things better between the both of you?"
