James snapped back to his senses, but his expression darkened. He sighed softly and said, “Just lie down. I promise not to look at anything I shouldn’t be looking at, okay?”“Are you sure?”“Sure, and sure.” “Haha! James, I didn’t know you knew such internet phrases. How funny!” After hearing James’ reply, Sarah laughed and eased the atmosphere in the room.James pursed his thin lips. His head ached a little when he looked at the woman’s small face smiling; almost like a blooming flower. He really did not know how to tame her.However, these things could not be rushed. It was said that ‘thin streams flowed forever’ and ‘the pavilion closest to the water enjoys the moonlight first’. James just needed to lock her by his side.When the time came, he would be the only man in her entire world. He did not believe she would still think he was old.It was only a ten-year difference. He was not old.Sarah was laughing. However, as she was laughing, she noticed that the man in front of
The piece of jade was firmly attached to her birthmark on her arm. It soothed her body, so she slept soundly.In her confusion, she felt a cold and icy sensation on her stomach.She rolled over but the icy cold touch was still there.Sarah’s hand reached out to feel her stomach.However, she touched a hand.A hand that was holding a cotton swab. “Who?”“Don’t move, I’ll leave when I’m done applying the medicine on your stomach.”“Oh.” Sarah opened her eyes and saw James in front of her. A simple piece of information entered her mind; he was applying medicine on her.She then went back to sleep.It was as if having James apply medicine on her was a natural thing to do.They had laid in a coffin together before. It was more or less the same in reality, so she did not take it seriously.James was done applying medicine on her.A large palm covered her waist.Sarah winced, rolled over, and nestled into a familiar body. She then hugged an arm and went back to sleep.That sleep
’Will she survive?’It was fine before he saw it. Upon witnessing the scene, Jimmy immediately passed out.The ward turned chaotic in an instant.Nobody was able to go back to sleep.Mandy was sent into the operating room to stitch up her wounds.Molly and Yam unwillingly waited outside the operation room with Jimmy—they were sleepy.Molly yawned, then asked curiously, “What’s wrong with our mother? Did she cut herself after being triggered by Sarah?”“Mother is no idiot. Why would she cut herself like that? It must be someone else.”“True. It should be done by someone else. Dad, we should make a police report.” Molly agreed with Yam’s deduction. It would be best if Sarah was responsible for sending someone over to cut Mandy’s stomach.Once the police solve the case, then they can send Sarah straight to jail.If so, James would be hers once more.Thinking about that, Molly’s mood immediately improved.Jimmy hesitated, then said, “You and Yam stay here. If your mom comes out, call me.”
Sarah had a condition whereby her body temperature was naturally low, so whenever she slept alone, she would curl up into a ball like a kitten. Following that, she would subconsciously look for a source of warmth.Feeling a big heater near her, Sarah comfortably approached it and was unwilling to budge at all.James quietly hugged the young lady that approached him willingly. ‘If she wants to sleep in the guest room, so be it.’It did not matter where they slept.He narrowed his eyes in the dark, having only Sarah’s peaceful appearance in his field of vision.It was quiet and harmonious.Despite his usual insomnia, he fell asleep quickly with Sarah in his arms.Deep in the night, the guest room was still.However, a sudden noise rang from his phone, causing both of them on the bed to awaken immediately.Sarah’s eyes popped wide open and subconsciously reached for her phone on the nightstand. Only then did she realize that she was unable to move.Her entire body was immobilized by a pow
Before James could utter the word ‘together’, Sarah quickly covered his mouth with her hand. “I don’t want to sleep with you. James Marshall, I saved your life. You need to respect the person who saved you, understand?”James was speechless. He did not think that sleeping with Sarah was disrespectful at all. However, he was not in a suitable situation for him to say that. He disliked seeing Sarah’s teary eyes as it hurts his heart.Sarah’s glossy black pupils swirled around, then tugged at the ribbon on her arm. Following that, she generously passed that jade back to James. “I’ll return your jade to you. You wear it while you sleep at night to ensure healthy rest while lending it to me in the day. How’s that sound?”‘Only she could come up with such a perfect solution. She’s the best.’Faced with the girl’s cunning smile, James’ expression turned dark. “Without the jade around me during the day, I’ll be restless.” If she wanted to use his jade, he must have her stay around him.“James,
”I can’t sleep.” Sarah was wide awake. At the moment, she was not feeling any drowsiness at all.“Then let’s chat.” James’ gaze fell upon Sarah’s arm. He noticed the birthmark on her arm the moment she took off the jade. “Have you had that since you were young?”“Mm.” Now that he saw it, Sarah stopped hiding it. She had that birthmark on her arm ever since she was born. It was not something she needed to hide as she did not break any laws.“It’s the same size as my jade?” James picked up the jade from the bed and placed it over Sarah's birthmark. It was indeed the same size, an exact fit.“It was quite small when I was young. It stopped changing only when I stopped growing.”James thought about Sarah’s height. She was a full head shorter than him. However, if she put on high heels, they would be at the perfect match in height when walking side by side. “No need for you to grow taller.”With their matching height and her birthmark that matched this jade, he had a feeling that she was de
Sarah stared at the jade around his neck, still feeling a little nervous. “They won’t arrest me at school today right?” Although the police did not call her anymore last night, she could still clearly remember what the police said. If she did not report to the police station, they would arrest her at school the next day.“They won’t. I’ll send you to school.”“Alright.” Hearing James’ offer to send her over, Sarah’s nervously beating heart finally calmed down. She did not want to go to a place like the police station.Although she had previously called the police before, she was sent directly to the hospital from the cemetery. She did not step foot in the police station.Back then, her goal was just to have someone escort her and James out of the cemetery.Sarah and James exited the elevator one after another. When Roxane saw James, she greeted him warmly, “Good morning, Brother.”That morning, Roxane was in a bright mood, wearing a new dress. It was most likely something she bought fr
Sarah was baffled. What did she do? Both siblings were involving her just because of a card? “Sister Roxane, can you please not simply address me like that. I’m not your sister-in-law. If you really want to have a sister-in-law, I’ll bring one over for you and Director Marshall to have a look. I guarantee that her family background and appearances will be worthy of James Marshall. It won’t be too late for you to call her sister-in-law then.”Thinking about Ann, Sarah continued to advertise excitedly. She hoped to have James take Ann as his fiance right away.‘Sarah, you really don’t want to be my wife…?’“Quiet, both of you. Don’t you know it’s rude to talk while eating?” James bellowed suddenly, as though he had eaten gunpowder.Roxane stuck her tongue out. “Sarah, let’s exchange WeChat contact. We’ll chat when we’re free.”Sarah just outright ignored James. “Sure thing. Pass me your phone.”Following that, she took Roxane’s phone and casually added her on WeChat.With that, James’ ex
