No bad perfume, no heavy makeup, her dry, clean scent brushed his nose along her hair.
He reached out to turn on the light, turned slightly sideways, and his eyes unconsciously fell on her white, rosy cheeks. His gaze changed.
The powder cover was removed, and at such a close distance, the bruises under her eye sockets were obvious, and the fine fuzz on her face could be seen clearly.
The scar on her left cheek became more and more startling.
"Ted," Julian spoke. His tone was calm. "Drive slowly. Just get there before her dormitory building closes."
The driver nodded and slowed down the car.
Khalid looked through the small window of the fender and vaguely saw Sadie sleeping soundly on Julian's shoulder. He couldn't help but smile.
Tomorrow, he would arrange a thorough examination of Lady Sadie, so as to determine whether her memory loss as psychological or due to organic pathology. This would enable them to better formulate the next treatment plan.
Mr. Mccarthy was only 14 years old when he brought Lady Sadie back from the Chambers family, and she was only 5. He spent the next seven years caring for her. It took him more than six years to find her, from the cruise shipwreck to now. He would not allow her to have any more mishaps.
Before he knew it, the car drove down to Sadie's dormitory building.
Julian tilted his head and rubbed Sadie's head habitually. Then he withdrew his hand and said lightly. "Sadie."
"Yes," Sadie murmured. She struggled to open her eyes, and in the next instant, she immediately straightened her spine. "Where are we?"
How reckless she was that she had fallen asleep while still resting on his shoulder!
"Get off." Julian's voice was cool. But there was a smile hidden under his eyes. She actually knew how to be shy. She'd never been shy before when she'd asked him to sleep with her every day.
Sadie lowered her head, and her cheeks burned hot. She opened the door to get out of the car and found herself back under the dormitory building, then she subconsciously raised her eyebrows.
He had taken himself back to school? He was really quite a psychopath.
Just as she was distracted, the black Rolls-Royce drove out and turned around to leave in an instant. She stood in front of the door, rubbing her somewhat drowsy eyes, watching the car pull out of sight, then turned around exhausted and entered the building.
There were no important classes on Friday, so Sadie finished her morning classes and went to the bank to check the balance on the card. Otto gave more money than she thought he would, and it was a lot. A total of ten million yuan!
Just in time, Dean Esme's attending doctor called and asked her to come to the hospital sometime this afternoon. She said that Dean Esme could be transferred to a general ward, but that she needed to sign off on it.
Libby was supposed to do this, but unfortunately, she had a professional class today and couldn't leave.
She took the bus to the hospital and found that Dean Esme had been transferred to the general ward. But instead of the double room, she was in before, she was in a single VIP room now, and there was an extra female caregiver in her 40s in the room.
She went in to say hello. She heard the caregiver say that Mr. Newman had arranged for her to come here, and then she couldn't help but curl her lips sweetly. Otto was always like that. Anything as long as he knew, he would make sure it was arranged properly and never make her work.
"I'm going downstairs to get some supplies. Mr. Newman already paid for them." The caregiver put her clothes up to dry, took off her gloves, and said with a smile, "Madam is in good spirits today. Miss, you should talk more with her."
"Thank you." Sadie smiled. Then she moved a chair to sit by the bed and asked Dean Esme with concern if she was still in pain.
"Much better. I already know about the medical bills." Esme trembled and lifted her hand, caressing her head. "I didn't raise you all these years for nothing."
"That's for sure." Sadie winked at her proudly.
