“You moved out?” Libby sneered and played down the problem to say, “I come to sign the notice of critical illness. Nobody has seen Raya from yesterday. Do you think she took the money to go?”
Sadie bit her lips to tried to calm down. She answered, “What would you like to talk with me? You should know I have got nothing about our orphanage.”
Libby started to laugh at her, “I am asking you just because you’ve never known it. See you.”
Soon, Libby hung off the call, leaving Sadie listen to the busy tone from the phone.
With her mobile phone in hand, Sadie was stunned by what Libby said. So, her number had been changed; in fact, she was just informed of her broken mobile phone.
Sadie was suffering from a headache that she tried to relieve by having a rub by herself. However, she remembered what Julian told her when giving the mobile phone and IPAD to her, which made her feel worse now.
Julian told her this was a new number, but at that time she was too dizzy caused by the common cold to keep it in her mind.
After having the porridge, Sadie went upstairs to check her contact list on the mobile phone. Finally, she was much offended by not having the number of Otto on the list.
Shit! How could he decide her contact list?
Sadie cursed Julian greatly. She could not expect how he asked for the leave today to her teacher; what he did might greatly embarrass her in the school.
She went to wash her face in the bathroom to allow herself to feel better. And then she looked everywhere to get some pocket money and opened the door to go downstairs.
Julian would be the last person that she tried to call!
Just the moment, Amina was busy in the kitchen as well as the other two maids were tidying up the living room. Nobody stopped Sadie from going out.
When coming out, she covered her eyes from the strong sunlight with hands immediately, together with a deep breath. Suddenly, she stopped herself.
Sadie realized she could not go. If not staying here, she would never know about the truth of her family; besides, the orphanage would be removed. No matter what Dean had done, all the kids there should not take such a terrible result.
If Dean did not take her to the orphanage that year, she would have died in hospital.
As to Julian, Sadie neither got much information about him. No one could investigate him merely from internet.
Just now, one maid opened the door to ask Sadie in a respect way, “Madame, would you like to go out? I can arrange the car for you.”
“No, thank you. I am walking in the garden.” Sadie stopped thinking more and walked down in a dizzy mind, still holding her mobile phone tightly.
She was too regretful about playing as Julian’s wife. It was really a big trouble for her.
Sadie was walking in such an elegant garden everywhere telling the exceptionally artistic preference of the owner. But she was not happy to enjoy it right now.
She would like to call Daisy, yet to know what to say. The more she thought, the more confused she became.
After thinking about it for a while, Sadie unlocked her mobile phone to check some news about Julian.
She found nothing. Even if there were most information about him from the magazines of economy and finance, she only read some words such as “mysterious”, “low profile” and etc.
She did not know what the real background of Julian was and what they had been like before. In addition, why did he tell his friend that he found her now?
After sitting for a moment, Sadie felt much weaker under the strong sunlight or from the worse common cold. Her nose was too bunged up.
For half an hour in the garden, she was frustrated to go back to the villa and went upstairs to sleep.
Sadie felt much better after some sleep, not so dizzy as before. Looking at the clock, she threw the blanket and got off to have a wash.
It was so quiet here that any noise could be heard clearly. She heard someone opening the door and cleaned her face hurriedly to see who it was.
Julian was here. Sadie had an eye contact with him to know he was annoyed.
Julian untied and walked slowly to her, asking, “Why didn’t call me?”
