CHAPTER 116: CHAPTER 116: FELL INTO HIS ARMS

Brooke, in a state of longing, pressed her entire body against Jordan Hawthorne.

But unexpectedly, Jordan showed no reaction at all.

She suspiciously lifted her eyes to look and saw that the man had closed his eyes, leaning against the back of the sofa, and had fallen asleep.

Brooke was incredulous, almost fainting with anger.

Such a perfect opportunity, and he actually drank himself to sleep???

Because of this situation, all her emotions were extinguished, leaving her only frustrated, without the mood to take care of the man beside her.

In the end, she could only call for the butler to come and attend to Jordan Hawthorne.

The butler glanced at her indifference and said nothing, simply calling out to a servant, "Charlotte, come help."

A young maid quickly responded.

...

Although Jasper Fitzgerald had already paused Zara’s treatment, Sabrina still made an appointment to meet him over the weekend.

Eleanor Quinlan’s treatment had reached its end, and today was the last test.

She had asked the Quinlans to invite her boyfriend in advance.

To know if she was completely cured, the two had to make contact themselves.

Before starting, the Quinlan couple was anxious and asked Sabrina, "Are you sure there won’t be any accidents? Or... should we continue the treatment?"

Sabrina understood their feelings and reassured them gently, "From my observation, her symptoms should be completely gone. Let’s see the test results first."

Despite their trust in her medical skills, they couldn’t help but feel nervous.

Jasper Fitzgerald spoke, "You have to trust Dr. Nash’s judgment; she’s a professional and certainly won’t make a mistake."

These words provided her the greatest affirmation and trust.

Sabrina glanced at the man and smiled, then signaled for the young couple to begin.

After nearly a month apart, the two finally met, and naturally, they were both excited.

Sabrina reminded from the side, "Start slowly, begin with holding hands... then move to hugging. If there is no discomfort, it means the previous stress response has completely disappeared."

Eleanor obediently followed her instructions.

Her boyfriend’s expression also appeared tense and serious.

They followed the instructions, progressing step by step until their fingertips finally touched.

Sabrina observed Eleanor’s state and asked, "How do you feel? You must give me feedback promptly."

Eleanor immediately replied, "There is no discomfort at all, nor do I feel like I’m out of breath."

Sabrina nodded, indicating they should continue.

Eleanor continued deeper contact with her boyfriend until the two were hugging, and Eleanor still appeared rosy and without any discomfort.

Her eyes shined as she looked at Sabrina, "I still don’t feel any discomfort, does this mean I’m completely healed?"

Sabrina smiled and nodded, "Yes, congratulations!"

"That’s great... I’m finally healed."

Eleanor was overjoyed, then threw herself towards her boyfriend, Zane, "Zane, did you hear? I’m better now, I can hold hands with you freely like a couple should, and we don’t have to break up anymore..."

Saying this, her eyes turned red.

Zane carefully held her, also very happy, his eyes extremely gentle, "Hmm, that’s wonderful. From now on, we’ll always be together, and after we graduate, we’ll get married."

Sabrina watched the young couple, inexplicably finding this scene beautiful.

It was evident that the feelings of the young couple were quite pure, without any trace of impurity in their eyes.

This kind of romantic aura was something she had never experienced.

Back then, she impulsively married Jordan and fell into the tomb of marriage without experiencing anything, suffering cold shoulder.

Looking back now, she realized how foolish she was.

Fortunately, she managed to stop the loss just in time!

While she was lost in thought, Eleanor was already moved by her boyfriend’s proposal.

However, she hadn’t forgotten they were still at home.

Her parents were right beside them.

She cautiously checked her parents’ reactions.

Previously, they were completely against them being together.

But to her surprise, at this moment, Mr. and Mrs. Quinlan were smiling with contentment.

Through this experience, they suddenly realized that compared to their daughter’s life, choosing a boyfriend who didn’t meet their standards was insignificant.

When they heard the commitment to marry, Mr. Quinlan directly spoke, "If you want to date now, I won’t stop you, but marriage is a big deal. If you’re still determined when you graduate, we can quickly arrange a meeting between the elders of both families."

Bianca White added, "Zane, I hope you won’t let Eleanor down. She was always thinking of you when she was ill... she even had an incident trying to go see you! You should know how strong her feelings for you are."

Zane looked serious and said, "I know, I will treasure her."

The two elders were very satisfied with his earnestness.

Sabrina watched the whole scene and found it miraculous.

Emotions indeed vary from person to person.

Sometimes, immaturity is not determined by age!

Perhaps, these young ones will be very happy in the future.

Sabrina silently blessed them in her heart and only then realized that Jasper Fitzgerald hadn’t spoken.

She instinctively turned her head to look at him.

The side profile of the man was as perfect as if carved, his tightly pressed thin lips showing no smile, and even his beautiful brows were slightly furrowed.

Sabrina was momentarily stunned.

Mr. Fitzgerald... is he dissatisfied with Zane?

Just as she was about to ask, Jasper’s gaze suddenly met hers.

As their eyes locked, a slight wave seemed to flicker in his eyes, quickly calming as he asked, "Is there something on my face?"

Sabrina felt embarrassed.

Is there anything more awkward than being caught staring?

She hurriedly shook her head and said, "I just wanted to ask why you weren’t speaking."

Jasper smiled and answered, "I was just thinking about some things just now..."

He couldn’t quite understand why the young couple’s relationship had progressed to discussing marriage so quickly.

However, despite his confusion, he still offered them his blessings.

"Little girl, congratulations on having your wish fulfilled."

Then, he looked at Zane, "I consider Eleanor as a little sister, so you’d better not bully her."

His words sounded gentle and without any warning, yet inexplicably carried a sense of pressure.

Zane wouldn’t dare to take it lightly.

The Quinlan family’s background was already extraordinary, and the man before him exuded an air of nobility and authority that outshone Mr. Quinlan, indicating he was someone of significant stature.

He sincerely said, "How could I dare bully her? She’s more likely to bully me!"

Eleanor lifted her chin, proudly looking like his statement wasn’t a lie.

Everyone who saw this couldn’t help but smile warmly.

After the treatment, Sabrina successfully completed her task.

When she was about to leave later, the Quinlan family came over with a check, trying to hand it to her.

"Dr. Nash, thanks to you, Eleanor has fully recovered. This is the consultation fee, and you must accept it."

Sabrina quickly declined, "There’s no need, you already gave it earlier."

"That was just a deposit, it wasn’t much! This is what you’ve earned!"

"Yes, Sabrina, you’ve tirelessly come to treat me this month; the consultation fee is a must, or we’d feel uncomfortable."

Sabrina still refused to accept it.

At this moment, a well-defined hand took the check and handed it to her.

"Accept it; this is the result of your hard work, no need to refuse. Moreover, if you don’t take it, I won’t dare ask you for a consultation next time!"

Since even he said so, Sabrina stopped being modest, "Alright."

She accepted the money, making the Quinlans satisfied instantly.

After leaving the Quinlan household, Jasper Fitzgerald gave Sabrina a lift back.

Sitting side by side in the back seat, they naturally chatted about Eleanor’s situation and other things.

The conversation then extended to the situation and cases of those special forces members in the military district.

Their lively conversation amazed Nash Spencer, who was driving at the front.

His boss has always been a man of few words, courteous in conversations but rarely using extra words.

But in front of Dr. Nash, this wasn’t the case at all.

Can he still deny he treats her differently?

While he silently grumbled, the car happened to turn a corner.

A car going the wrong way rushed up from below, startling Nash Spencer, who quickly turned the steering wheel.

He reacted quickly, safely avoiding a collision with the car, but the sudden turn was quite sharp.

This caused the unsuspecting Sabrina in the back seat to be thrown by the ’tail whip’...

And then ’splat,’ she landed right onto Jasper Fitzgerald...
