Chapter 16 There Was Only One Chance

How could Sadie be calm? Her mind went blank while she was holding her phone.

Without this income, it would be harder for Sadie to clear her debt.

While Sadie was dazing, her phone rang. When Sadie realized it was Otto Newman’s phone number,

she felt heartwarming. She picked up the phone, “Otto…”

It was already midnight there. Yet, Otto was still worrying about her matters.

“Sadie, I’m sorry. But I couldn’t help you anymore,” Otto spoke softly, with a somber tone. “My father

had already figured out what I had done. He knew that I embezzled the funds.”

“It’s…it’s okay.” Sadie tried her best to speak normally. “Don’t worry, there is always a way.”

Although Sadie was disappointed, it was true that it was not Otto’s duty to help her.

“I had transferred 20,000 yuan to you, that’s my personal savings, you can use it to deal with your

problems. I’ll find a way to help you.” Otto hung up the phone after he spoke.

Sadie looked at the darkened phone screen. Her legs were as heavy as lead. She sat on the bench

under a tree blankly.

No time for Sadie to tidy up her mind, she got a call from the hospital. She was informed that Dean

Esme’s body situation got worse. Sadie was asked to head to the hospital immediately.

Sadie was dazed while listening to the phone call. She felt so lethargic now. She stood up and walked

away like a robot.

Sadie hailed a cab and headed to the hospital. Raya Duncan came over. Both of them met and

consoled each other. They walked into the lift. None of them dared to inquire about the accident that

happened.

Outside of the surgery room, when Sadie knew that Dean was sent into there for more than one hour,

she almost fainted.

“Sadie, what happened to you?” Raya was shocked, she stood Sadie up. “Please don’t scare me, Dean

is still having surgery, you can’t be in trouble right now.”

“I’m fine. Perhaps I had missed my breakfast, causing low blood sugar level.” Sadie was struggling to

stand up with a bitter laugh.

It was okay if she fell sick, she could spend the 50 million yuan if she wanted. But Dean could not be

like her.

After Raya put her hand on Sadie’s forehead ensuring she had no fever, she felt reassured. “Okay,

okay.”

Sadie knew that Raya was stressed these few days. She comforted Raya. Then, Sadie took her phone

and went to the rooftop.

She found a place and sat down. She put her head in her face.

She never felt so desperate before.

Once she thought that the welfare agency might be closed and Dean might be gone after this week,

Sadie felt hopeless.

All of her memories were related to the welfare agency and also Dean.

Every time Sadie fell sick, it was Dean who looked after her for the whole night. If Sadie had a stomach

ache, Dean would bring her to do some medical checkups.

Dean had fulfilled the responsibilities of biological parents, she even did more than that. Dean took care

of Sadie like she was her own child.

While Sadie lost her thought, her phone rang. Sadie noted it was Libby Webb and picked up the phone.

“Sis, I’m in the hospital with Raya, Dean is still in the surgery room.”

“You should look after them there. I just woke up and heard that auntie was warded again.” Libby was

yawning. She seemed like not concerning about it.

Sadie had no energy to bother about Libby. “Noted.” she hung up the phone, put her head in her face

again.

Later, she heard a voice. “What a coincidence.”

It was Julian’s voice. Sadie was annoyed. She stared at him and pursed up her lips.

Sadie did not talk, her head was slightly raised and her eyes were cold.

“What’s wrong?” Julian sat comfortably beside her and looked into the hills far away.

Sadie’s temper grew up with her age.

She did not cry just now. She just strained her shoulder, but this made Julian even distressed.

No matter how unhappy she was, Sadie rarely allowed herself to cry, just like when she was young.

“Stupid!” Sadie walked away and leaned against the barrier. She looked into the distance without any

target.

Otto was unable to help. Dean’s situation was getting worse and nobody knew how much money will

need. The welfare agency was another problem too.

Sadie suddenly felt that growing up was cruel.

Growing up indicated responsibilities. An adult should assume all his responsibilities.

Julian walked towards Sadie. “I can settle all the problems for you, but there is a condition.”

He could not bear her depression.

Since he saw her at the Chambers family for the first time, he had decided to let Sadie stay by his side, © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

so she would not be bullied by anyone.

He confirmed this decision when he knew Sadie could save his life.

Sadie watched him coming closer. Her depression turned into anger. “Get lost!”

Julian did not care about it and stood by her side, he chilled. “There is only one chance, I am an

impatient person.”

Just then, Raya’s voice was heard. Doctor Rees’s assistant stood by her side.

Sadie looked at Julian hatefully and ran away.

Another letter of critical illness. Sadie signed with her shaking hand. She turned her head and looked at

the man at the rooftop, her anger increased.

Otto would be back the next morning, but she was totally hopeless.

However, she was unwilling to promise that pervert this easily.

She was not pretty. For those who came for novelty, she was able to interpret them.

When she saw Julian walked towards her, she pursed her lips and turned her head away.

Sadie felt annoying whenever she saw Julian.

Julian did not come over, he went down by the lift.

Sadie’s medical checkup report came to a result, her situation was bad.

After listened to the doctor’s declaration, Julian stood by the window and remained silent.

Sadie was injured and could not remember anything. Inside her brain, there was clotted blood on her

memory nerves.

When he was not at home, Sadie was deceived by the Chambers family. When Julian recalled this

incident, he was filled with fury.

Julian looked at the doctor, spoke flatly, “Contact the foreign hospital, I will bring her there for surgery

during the winter break.

“Noted.” the doctor wiped his sweat and took the medical report. “I will arrange the time. Please bear in

mind that she should not be stimulated before the surgery, especially about her past.”

Julian nodded. He took out his phone and called Khalid Hall. Then, he walked away.
