Damn it! Is he dumb? How can he be so rude?
“Oh! It’s you!” Jonathan was not really pleased the moment he saw her.
At the same time, Sebastian also turned in her direction. In a split second, his face turned grim. “What are you doing here?” he snapped at her.
“Mr. Hayes, I’m here to bring you a jacket. You had a fever last night. It’s too windy here. I’m worried that you will catch a cold and fall sick again,” she explained as she approached him with the jacket.
What a stubborn fellow! How I wish to teach him a lesson! Why does he come all the way here early in the morning? Doesn’t he know that he is still weak and might fall sick again at any moment?
Sasha could not resist scoffing inwardly. Pfft! What an ill-tempered man! No doubt, old Mr. Jadeson is quite annoying. Anyway, there is no harm bowing to him, so he will be pleased and be more lenient with his intensive training. After all, there’s nothing to lose. Why can’t this man learn to cool his head off and control his temper?
Sasha approached Sebastian and was about to put the jacket on his shoulders.
“Get out of my way!” He shrugged her off in dismay the moment her hand touched him, as though he was stung by an insect. His lips tightened into a thin line; his eyes were blazing with utter resistance and abhorrence.
Astounded by his bellow of anger, Sasha froze on the spot with the jacket in her arm.
Why is he boiling with anger again? Is it because of what happened last night? He was actually the one making the first move; yet, I didn’t even lash out at him!
Sasha pouted her lips and looked at the man indignantly. Fortunately, it was rather windy when they were at the top level of the observation tower. Meanwhile, Jonathan was savoring his cup of tea. Thus, he was unaware of the tense atmosphere between both of them.
Even so, it still caught his attention when Sasha mentioned that Sebastian had a fever the night before.
“What did you say just now? He had a fever?” He put down the cup and fixed his penetrating gaze on her.
Hmph! Fine, I’d better stop getting on this arrogant man’s nerves. Let me try talking things out with Old Mr. Jadeson instead!
Sasha came to her senses at once and moved to stand alongside Jonathan. “Yeah, it seems his lungs were injured in a way due to overexertion, resulting in the drastic rise in body temperature. Anyway, his condition is currently under control after going through acupuncture last night,” she explained to him tactfully.
In an instant, a hint of awkwardness flashed across Jonathan’s face. Miraculously, his simmering anger was gone within seconds.
Nonetheless, he put on a grim look and refuted, “It’s because he still lacks exercise!”
“Old Mr. Jadeson, Mr. Hayes’ physical condition is quite good. However, he was unconscious for three months and sustained different injuries constantly after regaining consciousness. Subsequently, his body becomes weaker unavoidably. Please allow me to treat him with my traditional methods for a period of time. By then, I’m pretty sure he will be as fit and strong as Mr. Devin and the others.” Sasha tried to convince Jonathan.
In the meantime, she could not resist recalling how Sebastian used to look before that. Her lips curved into an attractive smile as she reminisced about those moments.
