Sarah withdrew her gaze from the door and continued her phone conversation with Ann. “They can find me if they have nothing to do. I don’t care.”“Sarah, I heard that your dad helped you withdraw from school. You’re doing so well academically, and Gaokao [1] is coming up. Are you really going to stop studying?After hearing the words ‘withdrawal from school’, Sarah’s heart trembled. Jimmy must have doubtlessly expected her to be dead so he decided to suspend her from school and deregister her after a few days of suspension. “I will continue my studies. I’m going to school tomorrow.”“That’s great. You have no idea… I was so bored while having lunch and dinner alone since you didn’t come to school today.”Bang! Bang! Mandy York had gone from knocking on the door to smashing it.Sarah ended the phone call with Ann because of the noise. She stood up, walked toward the door, and unlocked it with a slight turn while Mandy was rapping the door. Meanwhile, Molly and Yam were standing beh
“My little Sarah…” he said softly. Jimmy’s body trembled when he heard Sarah’s voice.Mandy rushed over like an arrow. “Sarah, what are you making a fuss about? You’re not dead. Since you’re still alive, what’s there for you to fuss about? It should be me who should be doing that. 19 years ago today, I almost died giving birth to you. Ever since you were born, I get headaches when the wind blows. I have to wear a hat to cover my forehead during summer, and on rainy days, my waist hurts so bad it feels as if it would break. Why is it that you have no illness, but I have to suffer every day?”Sarah glanced at the beautiful princess cake in the middle of the table.This was the first birthday cake she received ever since she could remember.She took the candles, stuck them into the cake, and lit them.It felt as if she was the only one in the restaurant.Jimmy glared at Mandy who then sat down in exasperation.Yam immediately switched off the lights after Jimmy glanced to signal he
It was a bit late so Sarah took a taxi directly to Enlightening Middle School.It was time for evening studies, so the campus was quiet. Sarah took all her belongings, opened the door to her dormitory, and walked in.After tidying her things, she scrolled her handphone and realized that the whole of T City was reveling due to the fact that James was still alive.The only thing was that he had not awakened yet.However, that did not affect the infatuated hearts of thousands of girls in T City.The forum was full of this news, followed by a picture of James’ handsome face. The number of people following this was increasing by the second.Sarah turned it off after only reading a few posts.She was not a fan of James.However, she was well aware that her acupoint skills were still at the beginner’s level. Although James was alive, there was still a long way to go for him to awaken.It would only be possible if she mastered the Nine Meridians and Eight Vessels method, or met an exp
“Really?” Ann stopped eating her claypot, took out her handphone, and started scrolling. She then excitedly tugged on Sarah’s hand.“Sarah, it’s really your sister. So, will you be able to meet James Marshall who will soon become your brother-in-law? Get me an autographed picture of him, please. He’s a PhD student from Harvard Business School and is the CEO of Marshall Group. It’s an achievement that I don’t even dare to think about.”Sarah slapped her hand straight away, and said, “If you want it, go get it yourself.”“Uh, I can’t even meet him in person. I can only look at his photos at most. He’s so good looking. Your sister really picked up a treasure.”Sarah bowed her head and ate her food. She forgave Ann. The clearest observation she had of James was how he looked in his burial clothes.It was the weekend and usually the day to return home, but Sarah stayed in school.It had already been a few days. The whole York family should be immersed in the joy of Molly becoming Jame
Sarah was startled when she heard the words ‘brother-in-law’. She had to say that Molly was quick to take action. She was also very thick-skinned. “Look! The former campus belle of Enlightening Middle School is here.”“Being able to be chosen as James’ fiancee by the Marshall family... It’s true that beauty has its own value.” “We can ask Sarah to get her brother-in-law’s autographed photo in the future.”…The library door opened again, and everyone’s eyes fell on Molly and Sarah.Molly heard the whisperings around her. As expected, she was the most suitable fiancee for James in everyone’s eyes.If it was not for the fact that James was in a coma and his situation had not improved at all, she would not have come if Marshall’s family had not ordered her to pick Sarah up.“Sarah, I’m here to take you home.” Molly hesitated for a moment but still asked against her will.Everyone in the whole world believed that she was James’ fiancee so she was not afraid of Sarah.She just n
It was said that Old Mistress Marshall pampered James the most. Sarah curried favor with Old Mistress Marshall. No one would dare to bully Sarah openly even if she could not do as she liked in the Marshall family in the future.“Pfft…” a cold sneer came, “even you deserve to find my mum.”“Roxane, why are you talking like this?” The Old Mistress glared at the girl and stepped forward to hold Sarah’s hand before saying, “Girl, I didn’t know what happened to James until after the incident. You’ve been wronged that day.”Sarah felt a tingling sensation on her nose as emotions rose. Although she was not sure how much Old Mistress meant it, at least she was the first person who comforted her. “How is he?”“Not so good. That kid has been a loner ever since he was born. People who he doesn’t like aren’t allowed to go near him. No one would expect that he would have a new life once he met you. He’s too lonely to be asleep all the time, so is it okay if you keep him company?”Sarah natural
While reaching out to unbutton James’ collar, the jade necklace around his neck was revealed. She gently touched the necklace with her fingertips and it slipped into her hands. Every time Sarah thought of the incident she encountered, she felt like it was a dream.However, she finally felt that it was real when the jade slipped in her hand again.Sarah closed her eyes while holding the necklace and began practicing the Nine Meridians and Eight Veins method to continue recovering her damaged five viscera and six bowels.Sarah truly understood what it meant by ‘Sickness comes on horseback, but departs on foot’.Ding-a-ling… “Ms. Sarah, Old Mistress invited you for dinner.” It was dark, so the Old Mistress instructed Madam Zoe to call Sarah down for dinner.“Okay.” Sarah opened her eyes steadily and bowed her head down to look at the jade in her hand. She did not expect the effect of her practice to double while holding the jade as compared to the effect without the jade.Sarah fe
“Wendy, Molly has been here for a few days and she has been taking care of James. It’s hard work without merit. Don’t you think it’s too cruel to just push her away?” said Julia, the second daughter-in-law.She noticed that James’ complexion was much ruddier, so she panicked. She absolutely could not let this Sarah woman wake James up. Therefore, she quickly supported Molly. Undeniably, while Molly accompanied James for those few days, James did not improve at all and instead, had deteriorated every single day.The obvious difference was clear to her.All she wanted was for James to die quickly so her son would stand a chance to compete for the CEO of Marshall Group. “Sis-in-law, James is my son. I’ll take care of him myself. If you have time, you’d care for your son who hasn’t been home for a week… Just in case he had been led astray by other people. At that time, it’ll be too late for you to regret it.” Wendy looked at Jenny charismatically and said word by word.“Xavier hasn
