Follow Me novel Chapter 37

She still didn't have many classes to attend. Probably because she didn't live in the dorm anymore, Paige didn't continue to give her a hard time. However, she always said something she didn't understand at all.

She asked Daisy about it, but Daisy also said she couldn't understand it. So Sadie stopped asking.

However, when she thought of Otto, her heart still hurt. She felt as if her heart was empty and could not be filled.

Julian was away on business, and she felt as if time had passed much faster. In a flash, it was Saturday. Sadie spent the night reading and memorizing English, and studied until midnight before falling asleep. When she woke up it was already ten o'clock in the morning.

She changed her clothes and went down, and saw Julian sitting in the dining room. At once, a chill ran down her spine.

He had been gone for two days. She almost thought he wasn't coming back.

"Come here." It was as if Julian had eyes behind his back. He said in a calm tone. "You've had a cold for a week. Haven't you gotten over it yet?"

Sadie took a deep breath and stepped away hesitantly. "I'm much better. It's just that my throat isn't quite right yet."

She took her place beside him. Looking at his nice, clean hands, she was afraid he would suddenly reach out his hand.

"Go wash your hands and eat your breakfast. I'll take you to Cohen later," Julian said with a wry smile as he sat unmoving.

Sadie nodded, then turned her head away with a disgusted look.

Julian turned slightly sideways. His eyes chased her back, while his eyes grew a little darker.

He made a trip back to City A. The girl that the Chambers family sent over really did look exactly like her, including their little gestures. If he didn't distinguish carefully, he wouldn't be able to tell which one of them was the real one.

Fortunately, he found her first. Otherwise, he might go back this time and really fall into the trap and not be able to get out.

A few moments later, Sadie returned from washing her hands. She pulled out the chair next to him and sat down nicely.

He disappeared for the past two days to prepare for Cohen to hypnotize her, right? Why else would he have taken her to Cohen as soon as he returned?

It was good since he did that. She inquired about Dean Esme's treatment, and there was nothing wrong with it. There was just one thing that struck her as odd.

For no apparent reason, the officials had shut down the orphanage, and all the children had been picked up, none left.

She went back, but unfortunately, there was only one new gatekeeper at the home who didn't know anything. She contacted her colleagues at Milra Wedding Dress Store, but they also said they didn't know.

Finally, she contacted the old gatekeeper and learned that the orphanage had been shut down for several days. She searched the Internet but found no news at all.

It was as if a paranormal event had occurred. The whole orphanage was empty overnight, and no one knew why.

"Eat more. I heard Amina say you haven't had much appetite for the past two days." Julian lifted the bowl in front of him. His gaze was dark and inscrutable as he surveyed her. "You've lost weight."

Sadie spat out the porridge in her mouth. The result of forcibly swallowing was choking, and she coughed for a long time before stopping.

Could he not be so serious when he was talking nonsense? They had only not seen each other for two days, how could he possibly see that she had lost weight?

Julian pushed the glass of water over. He looked at her suspiciously. "Why are you reacting so much?"

"Nothing. You're overthinking it." Sadie took the glass of water and tilted her head back to take a sip. She felt better and then continued eating her breakfast.

Julian lifted his eyes and fell silent.

After she finished eating, she went upstairs to get her bag and came down. Julian was answering the phone. His dark eyebrows were deeply knitted and looked unhappy.

Sadie bit her lip and opened the door to go out first.

Probably she walked too fast and when she went down the steps, she stumbled and almost fell down.

She could barely stand still, and suddenly a very strange image came to her mind. She saw Libby pass out, and saw police cars driving into the orphanage, along with countless police officers.

"You're Sadie, aren't you? Please come back with us to the police station to make a statement." The female police officer's voice was gentle and sweet, but it made her feel cold.
