Harry, who was a wall away, turned off the lights and quietly looked at the ceiling.His eyes were still sharp and bright in the darkness, and they also carried a hint of coldness and sternness with them. He remembered that he had exposed the scars on his body in front of Sienna when she administered acupuncture during the day. At that time, he asked her if she was afraid. However, the young girl then replied to him in a firm and unmistakably natural tone as she stated, ‘There’s nothing to be afraid of.’But Nene, if you knew where my scars came from, you would probably think of me as the chief of all evil, just like everyone else.Harry closed his eyes. Those bloody fights seemed like a dream in retrospect. They had been long gone for many years, but what never disappeared was the invisible black mire behind him.The gravitational force inside was pulling him in little by little.One day, he would be pulled and dragged, and then trapped until his demise…Harry turned sideway
Master?Kai, who was driving in front, was startled.If he guessed correctly, Dr. Watte should be referring to his young mistress as his master.Dr. Watte did mention that he wanted to ask Sienna to take him as his apprentice the last time. However, at that time, Kai thought that Dr. Watte was just exaggerating when he said that. He did not expect that Dr. Watte would really refer to Sienna as his master!Kai was surprised, but he did not dare to say anything.Sienna got out of the car, glanced around, and was about to turn around and ask Harry to wait in the car. However, before she could say anything, she saw that Harry had already gotten out of the car, and it seemed that he was already prepared to go with her.Sienna raised her brows and said nothing.Dr. Watte came here yesterday, so he knew where the old lady who needed treatment lived. As such, he walked in front and led the way as he said, “The old lady is said to be insane now. I don’t know if she’s emotionally stable,
Sienna finally reacted this time.She looked at Harry in confusion and asked, “What are you doing?”Having said that, she tried to take her hand back, but he was holding tightly onto her. She could not break free at all.Harry asked, “Why are you unhappy?”His voice was as soft and light as a feather, but Sienna was startled for a moment. She did not expect that he would be able to see the slightest change in her emotions. Sienna lowered her eyes and said lightly, “I just heard a story that was a little hard to bear.”This answer was a half-truth because… she was the person telling the story.In the half an hour that she entered the house, she told the old lady a little about her son’s experiences and his honorable war achievements. The old lady was holding onto her son’s photo as she listened attentively to Sienna. When she learned that her son had died in battle, the old lady who had been suppressing her emotions for many years was surprisingly calm, and she managed to restra
“I… I just slightly renovated the house.”'Renovation? That's a minor issue.' Without giving it any thought, Sienna responded casually, “It is our home. You can decorate it however you like.” Sienna hung up the phone after that.Madam Garcia suddenly shouted from downstairs, “Miss Sienna, lunch is ready!”“I’m coming.” Sienna put away her laptop and mobile phone before she walked downstairs unhurriedly. She sunbathed in the yard after lunch.Dr. Watte sat on the small bench beside Sienna and sighed, “Master, shall we leave by tomorrow? We have nothing to do here, and I feel uneasy now.”Sienna glanced at him and asked half-smilingly, “How many patients have you seen at the simple prefabricated house?”“Zero.” Dr. Watte sat on the small bench beside Sienna and sighed, “No one has stepped into that house from day one.”The banner of the free clinic placed before the prefabricated house was pretty eye-catching, but the villagers of Adak had never set foot there. It was primarily du
Over the next few days, Sienna and Dr. Watte had been occupied in the free clinic.Among the villagers who visited the doctor, some had minor illnesses such as headaches and fever; while others had more serious conditions like rheumatism, where they had difficulty moving around. There was also a heavily pregnant lady that had come for consultation.Initially, they had put the doctors to the test, but they had gained complete faith in their ability later.A couple who visited the doctor had twins who were suffering from a rare disease. The parents didn’t have much hope at first, but Sienna assured them that the twins could be cured. She stayed up for two straight nights and healed the twins.From that day onward, Sienna’s reputation became widespread throughout Adak. The locals came here to seek consultation for free. Later, they took the initiative to send food to the doctors.“Miracle Doctor, I grew these lemons in my yard, and they taste very good. I have some for you right here
Harry moved toward Sienna after giving it some thought. He curled up his thin lips and let out a half-smile. “Do you want me to delete those pictures?” he inquired.“Yeah.”‘Isn’t this guy just babbling nonsense? How could I let him keep such ugly photos of me?’Harry nodded straightaway. Then, he changed the topic and teased her with a mischievous smile, “Well, if you call me by a sweet name, I'll pass you the camera.”She had known it wasn’t going to be that easy! Sienna took a deep breath and threatened him bitterly, “If you continue to do this to me, I’ll turn you into a victim of domestic abuse!”After these words had fallen, both of them were stunned. Domestic abuse? Sienna had a slip of tongue. However, Harry felt strangely delighted when he heard that.“Nene, it appears that you have a clear understanding of our spousal relationship.”Sienna was at a loss for words. She had completely embarrassed herself. She blushed and spun around before walking away.Harry stood stil
Julia was unconvinced. She refused to display her weaknesses and answered defiantly, “Of course. Do you think I need you to educate me on how my family gets things done?”“You'd better be. We'll leave Adak tomorrow. I hope your company can carry out the promise by today. The Kanes might not be able to maintain your false reputation if that happens,” Sienna said with a gentle smile. Her clear and beautiful eyes made her look innocent and harmless.Julia shuddered abruptly.Flora saw that Sienna had Julia under control with only a few words. She couldn’t help but roll her eyes and chided in a high-pitched voice, “Sienna, what are you so proud of? What difference does it make if you make the largest contribution to the free clinic? You will be the only one to receive zero marks on the project; the rest of us will all receive full marks!”Sienna shook her head. She looked at Flora, as if she was looking at a fool. There were traces of compassion in her eyes.Flora was dumbfounded. She
Harry just casually instructed Kai to look for the herbs, but he didn’t tell him the rest. Kai dared not ask Harry about the details. He finally found the opportunity to have some alone time with Sienna, so he wanted to get an answer from her.Sienna raised one of her eyebrows as she replied leisurely, “I assured him that he would live as long as I’m around, even if he couldn’t locate all the herbs.”The girl that stood in front of him explained with a gentle tone. She sounded casual. It gave Kai a rather thrilling feeling. He believed Sienna was capable of putting her words into action!Kai quickly bowed to Sienna, but this time, he treated her with even greater respect. His respect came from the bottom of his heart. He said, “Thank you, Young Mistress!”Anyone that could save his boss would be his benefactor! From now on, he would never have any dissatisfaction with her or doubts about her! He addressed her as “Young Mistress” from the bottom of his heart!Sienna didn’t bother w
