A Rose 328


    Hearing Sean’s words, Victoria asked, “Do you mean it hates me, and that’s why it scratched me?”


    Seeing how Victoria somehow became even sadder, Sean realized he had said the wrong thing. He


    wanted to p himself over the dumb statement that he just made.


    “That’s not what I meant!” Sean denied profusely. He was afraid that Victoria might start crying in


    front of him.


    “It’s just not familiar with you yet. When it is, it’lle to like you. It used to avoid getting close to


    me as well. But after I fed it every day, it started to approach me on its own. Look, it’s so well–


    behaved in my


    arms now.”


    Sean lightly scratched the orange cat behind its ear. The little creature then rubbed its head against


    his hand and purred cutely.


    Finally, Victoria shed a smile. She eximed, “It’s so adorable!”


    Sean sighed in relief when he saw that Victoria smiled. “Let’s get your wound treated,” he suddenly


    announced.


    Sean quickly retrieved a first aid kit and bandaged Victoria’s wound.


    Victoria smiled happily and said, “Thank you!”


    Seeing her beaming face, Sean’s heart seemed to skip a beat. He started to think that Victoria was


    quite adorable herself, finding


    himself in somewhat of a daze.


    When Sean snapped back to his senses, Victoria had already left. The orange cat continued to


    meow, and Sean rubbed its head


    affectionately.


    Sean asked the docile cat, “What? Do you think she’s cute too?”

    Lionel had been waiting for Victoria, but he started to worry when she didn’t return after a long time.


    Just as he was about to go look for her, Victoria finally returned.


    “You’re back, Ms. Olson!” Lionel weed her immediately. But when Lionel saw the bandage on


    Victoria’s hand, his expression changed.


    “What happened to your hand, Ms. Olson?”


    Victoria looked at the bandage and said, “I’m fine. I identally got scratched by a cat just now. I


    got it treated already, so you don’t have to worry, Lionel.”


    Hearing that, Lionel became thoughtful, but no words left his mouth.


    A ck car rolled to a stop outside Jubilife University, and Matt hade to wee the guest


    himself.


    “You’re finally here, Dr. Marx! It’s been a long journey for you. Let me bring you to the lounge.”


    An old man who was dressed oddly exited the car. He interrupted Matt impatiently, “Enough of


    these formalities! Hurry and bring me to Yvie. Remember, I promised to visit Jubilife University


    because you said Yvie was here!”


    N?velDrama.Org owns this text.


    “Of course,” Matt said. “Yvie is attending Jubilife University. You’ll be able to meet herter, Dr.


    Marx.”


    If it weren’t done in the name of Yvette, Matt wouldn’t have been able to invite Eustace Marx to their


    university.


    “I don’t want to meet herter!” Eustace retorted immediately. “I want to see Yvie now!”


    Eustace went through a lot of trouble to find Yvette. He was determined to force her into bing


    his sessor. He couldn’t


    afford to let Yvette escape again!


    “Alright, Dr. Marx.” Matt had no choice but toply. “I’ll bring you to


    Yvie now.”


    Eustace nodded and said, “That’s more like it. Let’s go!”

    Matt introduced the campus facilities to Eustace as he led the way to the medical school. It attracted


    a lot of attention from the students; everyone wondered who the chancellor was bringing around


    himself.


    Somebody even took pictures and posted them on the university forum.
