How could Sadie be calm? Her mind went blank while she was holding her phone.
Without this income, it would be harder for Sadie to clear her debt.
While Sadie was dazing, her phone rang. When Sadie realized it was Otto Newman’s phone number, she felt heartwarming. She picked up the phone, “Otto…”
It was already midnight there. Yet, Otto was still worrying about her matters.
“Sadie, I’m sorry. But I couldn’t help you anymore,” Otto spoke softly, with a somber tone. “My father had already figured out what I had done. He knew that I embezzled the funds.”
“It’s…it’s okay.” Sadie tried her best to speak normally. “Don’t worry, there is always a way.”
Although Sadie was disappointed, it was true that it was not Otto’s duty to help her.
“I had transferred 20,000 yuan to you, that’s my personal savings, you can use it to deal with your problems. I’ll find a way to help you.” Otto hung up the phone after he spoke.
Sadie looked at the darkened phone screen. Her legs were as heavy as lead. She sat on the bench under a tree blankly.
No time for Sadie to tidy up her mind, she got a call from the hospital. She was informed that Dean Esme’s body situation got worse. Sadie was asked to head to the hospital immediately.
Sadie was dazed while listening to the phone call. She felt so lethargic now. She stood up and walked away like a robot.
Sadie hailed a cab and headed to the hospital. Raya Duncan came over. Both of them met and consoled each other. They walked into the lift. None of them dared to inquire about the accident that happened.
Outside of the surgery room, when Sadie knew that Dean was sent into there for more than one hour, she almost fainted.
“Sadie, what happened to you?” Raya was shocked, she stood Sadie up. “Please don’t scare me, Dean is still having surgery, you can’t be in trouble right now.”
“I’m fine. Perhaps I had missed my breakfast, causing low blood sugar level.” Sadie was struggling to stand up with a bitter laugh.
It was okay if she fell sick, she could spend the 50 million yuan if she wanted. But Dean could not be like her.
After Raya put her hand on Sadie’s forehead ensuring she had no fever, she felt reassured. “Okay, okay.”
Sadie knew that Raya was stressed these few days. She comforted Raya. Then, Sadie took her phone and went to the rooftop.
She found a place and sat down. She put her head in her face.
She never felt so desperate before.
Once she thought that the welfare agency might be closed and Dean might be gone after this week, Sadie felt hopeless.
All of her memories were related to the welfare agency and also Dean.
Every time Sadie fell sick, it was Dean who looked after her for the whole night. If Sadie had a stomach ache, Dean would bring her to do some medical checkups.
Dean had fulfilled the responsibilities of biological parents, she even did more than that. Dean took care of Sadie like she was her own child.
While Sadie lost her thought, her phone rang. Sadie noted it was Libby Webb and picked up the phone. “Sis, I’m in the hospital with Raya, Dean is still in the surgery room.”
“You should look after them there. I just woke up and heard that auntie was warded again.” Libby was yawning. She seemed like not concerning about it.
Sadie had no energy to bother about Libby. “Noted.” she hung up the phone, put her head in her face again.
Later, she heard a voice. “What a coincidence.”
It was Julian’s voice. Sadie was annoyed. She stared at him and pursed up her lips.
Sadie did not talk, her head was slightly raised and her eyes were cold.
