”Sarah, don’t wait until you’re free. Summarize it for me quickly, please. The entrance exam is coming soon.” Ann would not let her off.Sarah thought about it and agreed. “Sure. I’ll find some time tonight and have them ready for you by tomorrow.”“I want it too.” One of the girls passing by overheard Sarah’s offer to summarize her learning notes for Ann did not want to pass the chance.“Sure. Everyone can have a copy after I’ve prepared it,” Sarah offered generously.All of a sudden, one of the students commented snarkily, “Tsk, it’s been three years and you’ve never gotten good results. This is most likely plagiarized.”“Melanie Shaw, you’re the one plagiarizing. You plagiarize every subject.” Ann shot back before Sarah could react. If Melanie picked on Sarah, that was the same as picking on her. She would not let it pass.“Ugh, I’ve just made one comment. Why are you so worked up?”“Which of your eyes saw Sarah plagiarizing? I’ll be convinced if you can show me the evidence.”“I’m
It was unlikely.James had already arranged for Nanny Jarvis to take care of her and Xander. If he stayed back as well, the apartment would not have enough space.He would not be able to sleep in her bedroom as Nanny Jarvis would be around after all. Even if he was shameless, she was not.Unlocking with her fingerprints, she was met with silence as she pushed the door open gently.She peeked inside. The place where Xander loved to play with his toys in the living room was sparkling clean, with only two boxes placed in a corner.Xander was not in the living room. He must have gone to bed.Walking in, she finally saw James on the couch.Upon seeing him, she finally noticed that he had fallen asleep.Right on the couch in the living room.On his legs was his laptop in screensaver mode.It seemed that he had fallen asleep for quite some time.Sarah took note of the temperature in the living room. The aircon was quite strong, making it a little chilly.She went to the empty room from last n
If James was asleep, so be it.It was easier to fall asleep after drinking.“Ms. York, is something the matter?” John answered quickly and asked respectfully.“James is here with me. Do you think you can come pick him up?”“T-t-this...I’m already in bed,” As John replied, he lightly pinched the person beside him.Sarah immediately heard an astonished exclamation.A female voice.She immediately felt awkward. “S-s-sorry to interrupt. Can you help me notify the Marshall family’s caretaker that James won’t be going back tonight.”With James that drunk, she felt bad to force him to go back home.After all, this apartment was his property too.She was technically living under his roof.“Sure. Don’t worry. I’ll notify the caretaker.” John ended the call right after that.James had been drinking.It was the wine that he personally delivered.Although others may not know what went on in James’ head, John understood him.Back when Wendy invited Sarah to the Marshall family home, James had rega
“Little Sarah, don’t go.”“How did you know it’s me? James, you’re awake, aren’t you?” Sarah patted James on the face but did not get a response.“Little Sarah…” However, the man was continuously muttering her name.He would not stop—it was as though he was addicted.Sarah tried to move, but just as she was about to break free, she was immediately pulled back by James.This time, she was looking at him directly in the face.She looked at his closed eyes, remembering the day they first met. That day, he was similarly lying there with his eyes shut.Back then, she felt that he was filled with misfortune and found him displeasing to look at.She would never have expected James to look so much better when he was awake.His eyes were seductive, alluring one’s soul. Every time their eyes met, she felt her heartbeat quicken.“James, I’m sleepy. I still need to go to school tomorrow. Let me go.”The man ignored her and continued to sleep soundly.Why would the sleeping man pay her any attentio
Sarah had always thought the problem with James’ taste buds was due to his tongue.However, she just learned that it was not the issue with the tongue.She must admit that the person’s poisoning method was just too cruel.He was such a young kid. In order to avoid attention, that person concocted a poison to destroy James’ spleen.The amount of poison used was minuscule. It was not lethal, nor would it be discovered.With that, when he finally lost his sense of taste, it would be too late for any investigations.That person was very skilled, but at the same time, ruthless.Looking at James who was sleeping, she suddenly understood. Perhaps in this world, there were not many people that he could fully trust.The one who poisoned him must have been originally close to him. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to be successfully poisoned. That was why he had always avoided interacting with others. Those that had nothing to do with him would never be entertained.His cold attitude mu
Sarah could tell his reluctance from his voice, but she did not call him out. Instead, she merely said, “If this patient is cured, you’ll get a raise.”Her words were true. As long as James’ condition was cured, he might just give everyone in the Marshall Group a raise out of good mood.Furthermore, that medicine would be personally prepared and watched over by John before delivering it over. John would be a major contributor.If she just threw in a few kind words to James, John’s raise was almost guaranteed.“Really?” John’s voice was no longer as reluctant. It was suddenly enthusiastic.“Yes, I guarantee it.”“Alright, I’ll get to it immediately. I’ll send them over once they’re done. Will I be disturbing your rest if I send them over before dawn?”“It’d be great if you can send them over by dawn. I need 10 sets of them.”“10 sets?” John almost jumped with surprise. “Can I use the modern preparation method and put all 10 sets together, then seal them into separate bags?”“No. You mus
James considered ordering John to stop preparing the medicine and ignore the request, but upon seeing Sarah, he could not bear himself to do so.He closed his eyes and went to sleep in the gentle darkness of the night.Morning came.The doorbell started ringing.Sarah bolted up immediately.She turned around to look at the window and noticed it was bright outside.John was too slow.According to her calculations, if he cooked multiple pots at the same time, he should have arrived just as dawn breaks.She jumped off the bed and rushed to the door, ignoring the curve at the corner of the bed.Upon entering the living room and seeing the books she used for revision last night, she suddenly realized that she woke up at the wrong location.She had fallen asleep while reading her books.Therefore, at that moment, she should be on the couch.She turned around and looked at James’ room. The door was closed. He should still be sleeping.‘Mm, he’s drunk. It’s normal for him to still be asleep.’
Nanny Jarvis stole a glance at the medicine bag Sarah held in her hands. “Are these Chinese medicines for Young Master Marshall? Is Young Master Marshall sick?”“Pfft.” Sarah burst into laughter.‘James is sick.’ That sentence sounded funny to her.However, that statement was true, James was indeed sick.Nevertheless, James’ sickness was unidentifiable by an average person.If one was just looking at his person, she would not be able to diagnose it as well.If not for her realizing that he never seemed to enjoy anything he ate, she would never have found out that he was sick.Her laugh baffled Nanny Jarvis. “Ms. York, did I say something wrong?”“N-n-no. Young Master Marshall is indeed sick. You’re right.” Having said that, Sarah placed the medicine bag into the double door fridge and exited the kitchen.With Nanny Jarvis around, she had better go study instead.She would fight for every second she could to study. Her aim was to get into the medical department of T University. Nanny J
