Chapter 738 My Eyes Hurt
Sebastian looked at her with genuine warmth, his gaze gentle and without a hint of harshness, which made Thalia feel less on edge and tense.
Thalia pressed her lips together, lowered her eyes, and typed. Her cold, robotic voice sounded: “My life’s a mess. If you spend too much time with me, you’ll just end up in trouble.”
Sebastian paused for a moment before asking, “Like when Bonnie was locked in the building last time?”
Thalia nodded.
Sebastian said, “That really was a hassle.”
Thalia thought to herself, ‘Honestly, if he just backed off now, that’d be for the best.’
“But I’ve gotten used to living abroad, and I actually like chasing after a little excitement. So honestly, I’m curious. What kind of so-called danger and trouble are you talking about?” Sebastian said, totally catching her off guard.
Thalia looked at him, a bit taken aback.
Sebastian continued, “Thalia, what Verena did was way out of line. I get why you’d want to keep your distance from me, or even be wary of me. But I’ve already handled it.
‘Verena won’t be bothering you anymore, and I promise I won’t bring you any more trouble. Lately, I’ve just been thinking about how things used to be when we were friends. Can you stop being so guarded around me?”
He was so sincere that Thalia couldn’t bring herself to say no to him. It felt like if she said no, he’d just look so hurt and disappointed.\
Thalia’s heart was torn, and honestly, it sucked.
Plus, Sebastian had just helped her out. If she turned him down now, she’d just look cold and ungrateful.
She lowered her eyes and typed. Soon, her robotic voice sounded: “Go ahead and accept the payment.”
As soon as Sebastian heard that, he broke into a smile. He accepted the payment right in front of her, then said, “The signature dishes here are pretty good. Since you’re on meds, do you have any dietary restrictions?”
Thalia typed, “I’ll ask my doctor.”
“Okay,” Sebastian replied.
Natasha sent Sebastian a whole list of things Thalia couldn’t eat, so Thalia just forwarded it to him.

After reading it, Sebastian said, “Alright, looks like there are a few dishes here you can actually have.”
He called over the waiter and started ordering.
By the time they finished eating, the sense of distance between them had faded a lot. As they headed downstairs, Sebastian said, “Let’s just go pick up the herbs now. When we get back, you can have your doctor check if they’re right for you.”
Thalia nodded.
When they arrived at Rosewood Manor, Sebastian got out of the car with her, handed her the bag, and said gently, “Go home and get some rest. Don’t overthink it. Your throat will be fine soon.”
Thalia nodded, then typed, “Be careful on your way back. Thanks.”
Sebastian sighed, “Don’t be so polite. It’s like we’re strangers or something.”
Thalia was about to type something else when Ryan Johnson walked over. “Mrs. Blackburn, you’re back. Mr. Blackburn… he’s not doing so well right now.”
Thalia turned to look at him, puzzled.
Ryan Johnson said, “He says his eyes hurt.”
Thalia’s face changed in an instant. Without even saying goodbye to Sebastian, she spun around and rushed into the villa, worry tightening in her chest.
