Chapter 14


    The principal shuddered. “Mr. Lewis, n-not all of them are like her! The mentor is just temporary staff.


    I’ll fire her immediately!” Although Christopher did not answer, one could tell how annoyed he was


    through his gaze. Jodie snorted. “Temporary staff? You’re quite good at bluffing.” At that, the principal


    was speechless. “Jodie, stop meddling in this matter. How would you know about the college’s internal


    affairs when you’re just a student?” Furrowing her eyebrows, she wanted to refute but swallowed her


    words upon seeing the doctor. “Who is the patient’s family?” the doctor asked. Christopher and Jodie


    answered at the same time, “Me.” Upon hearing Christopher’s voice, Jodie was stunned for a


    moment. I only pretended to be Margaret’s family member as I couldn’t contact her so-called brother.


    But what is Christopher up to? Naturally, the doctor chose the more mature-looking Christopher to


    exin the patient’s sickness. “The patient has gastritis, nothing much. However, it should be noted


    that her body is quite weak despite her young age. Thus, she should mind her diet and consume more


    nutrition. She can leave after finishing the IV drip.” Christopher grunted indifferently in response before


    heading to the emergency room. Inside, Margaret had not regained consciousness and was still lying


    on the bed. Her hair was slightly messy, and the blood vessels on her arm were prominent enough for


    one to see the liquid being transmitted into it. Her skin tone was ghastly white, too. Christopher was


    taken aback by her condition. Since when was she in such a terrible state? Jodie walked up to him and


    whispered, “Meg is an orphan, only having a brother that’s not rted to her by blood. Her brother


    doesn’t care much about her, either. She’s bound to get gastritis as all she eats in the winter is bread.”


    Jodie did not notice Christopher’s grim expression as he was ovee with mixed feelings. She


    continued, “Her brother hase home recently and ordered her to return home on time. Because of


    him, I can’t even bring her to eat some nutritious food! What a psycho!” “He truly is.” His tone was


    somewhat mocking. “What else has she endured?” Jodie had much more to say. “I’ve known her for


    over three years since high school. We high school students loved to shop back in those days.


    However, I’ve never seen her purchasing any new clothes! This makes her stand out as she looks as if


    shees from a slum. Plus, she started working several part-time jobs in junior high and would take


    up any jobs that paid. It pains me to think that she had to pass out flyers in the hot summer and wash


    dishes in the winter! There’s something wrong with her brother too. He does not care about her, but heContent ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org.


    also refuses to let others be concerned about her. I bet she’s in an even tighter corner since she can’t


    work right now. Her hands, reserved for drawing, will get frostbite from riding a bicycle to and from


    college! It angers me just by thinking about it!” Christopher drew a breath as something shed across


    his eyes. “Thank you for taking care of her.” Jodie felt embarrassed by how polite he was being. “It’s


    nothing! She’s my only friend, after all. I just hope her brother can treat her better. Perhaps that’s too


    far of a stretch. I’ll be happy if he doesn’t interfere with others pampering her. If I see him on the streets


    one day, I’ll definitely beat him up!” When the principal saw how much she was talking, he quickly


    dragged her away for fear that she would say anything wrong. “Let’s go. We don’t need to worry since


    Mr. Lewis is here. He’s a nice person, so he’ll definitely help Margaret contact her family member. Let’s


    not disturb her rest. I’ve already paid for her medical fees on behalf of the college.” Christopher did not


    say anything else. After the duo left, he turned his face sideways to look at Margaret. Staring at her


    with a hint of helplessness, he took her ice-cold hands in his. “Why didn’t you tell me about this? Why


    did you choose to live so pitiably in front of others? Why are you so stubborn?” Some momentter,


    Margaret opened her eyes after hearing the low whisper in her ears, her eyesing into contact with


    his passionate gaze.
