Chapter 96

Chapter 96 Worried About Me “What on earth happened?”

Sebastian asked with a grim face.

“Nothing. I just accidentally bumped into something.”

Madelyn smiled and tried to pull her sleeve down to hide the injury.

“Don’t move.” Sebastian insisted.

The bruise was glaringly obvious, a large swollen area.

If it was just a bump, it wouldn’t look like this.

He scoffed. “This injury clearly looks like someone hit you. How could it just be a bump?”

Finished “L.” Madelyn faltered, feeling guilty but still insisted cheerfully, “I wasn’t hit, really. It’s just a bump, I swear!”

Sebastian sighed, realizing she wouldn’t tell him the truth no matter how much he asked.

Since she didn’t want to say, there was no point in pressing further.

He turned off the stove, gently took her hand, and led her to the couch.

Then he went to get the first–aid kit and carefully applied medicine to her injury.

Seeing Sebastian’s caring actions, Madelyn was pleased inwardly.

Despite appearing aloof, Sebastian was still concerned about her.

This thought made Madelyn feel a warm glow of joy.

As she was smiling despite being hurt, Sebastian frowned. “How can you still smile?”

“Why wouldn’t I smile? Even though I’m injured, I have you,” Madelyn replied playfully.

Sebastian snorted, “You’re fearless until it’s too late.”

He couldn’t help but warn her, “Be more careful in the future. What if you get seriously injured one day?”

Madelyn tilted her head playfully. “That won’t happen.”

She added, “And besides, you’ll save me, right?”

Sebastian snorted again. Seeing she hadn’t learned her lesson, he deliberately applied more pressure while treating her wound.

“Ow! Sebastian, be gentle! It hurts,” Madelyn cried out.

1/4 5 Apr Chapter 96 Worried About Me “Pity abo what?” Sebastian asked, puzzled.

Finished “The dishes in the kitchen. I had three dishes planned, but I only managed to make one...

Suddenly enthusiastic, she added, “How about I go finish the cooking after you finish applying the medicine?”

Sebastian’s face darkened. “No.”

“But there’s only one dish,” Madelyn protested, looking frustrated.

Sebastian closed the first–aid kit and said calmly. “It doesn’t matter. One dish is enough.”

He then put away the first–aid kit.

Then he walked over to the dining table, patiently savoring his meal.

Madelyn followed him, watching him eat bite after bite. She couldn’t help but ask, “I haven’t tasted it yet. Is it good?”

Sebastian replied blandly, “It’s edible.”

What? Just edible?

Madelyn thought that she needed to improve her cooking skills.

Seeing her reaction, Sebastian couldn’t help but smile a little.

In truth, it was quite good.

After finishing the meal, Sebastian urged, “It’s late. You should go to bed.”

Madelyn obediently nodded and went upstairs.

This is good. As long as there are no misunderstandings between us, I can gradually get closer to him and earn his trust. Over time, any barriers between us will naturally dissolve.

With these thoughts, Madelyn lay down in bed and had a good night’s sleep.

The next day, Madelyn went to university as usual.

Upon arriving, she didn’t go to her classroom but went straight to find Yadiel.

She knocked on the door. Seeing it was her, Yadiel immediately let her in.

Madelyn got straight to the point. “Yadiel, about the favor I asked of you yesterday, has there been any progress?”

Yadiel nodded and said calmly. “She confessed to everything.”

“What? Really? That was fast.” Madelyn was very surprised.

15:56 Sat, 5 Apr Chapter 96 Worried About Me She was glad she had turned to him for help.

Madelyn then asked, “What did she say? What was her attitude?”

“At first, she confessed all her wrongdoings.. Yadiel began, recalling the scene.

Ruth had stood before him, blushing and panicking, pleading for mercy Finished “Yadiel, I really know I was wrong. I shouldn’t have wronged the students and ruined their promising futures. I’m willing to change and start anew. Please forgive me. I will be a fair, just, and dedicated educator from now on. Please, Yadiel...

Despite her pleas, Yadiel merely stared at her coldly After thinking for a moment, he pretended to agree temporarily.

“Since you sincerely want to change, I can let this go for now. But you need to reinstate Jillian’s academic status. She can’t be wronged for no reason.”

Hearing this, Ruth paled slightly but reluctantly agreed, “Okay, I will help her reinstate her academic status.

Yadiel nodded and left.

“Well done.” Madelyn couldn’t help but laugh upon hearing this.

She imagined Ruth begging for mercy and felt a sense of satisfaction.

However, she knew that old habits die hard.

Judging by Ruth’s character, although she had seemingly relented this time, it certainly wasn’t sincere.

Even though she agreed, she might be playing dirty tricks behind the scenes.

Madelyn said, “Yadiel, I know Ruth. She’s not someone who gives up easily. Even though she agreed this time, it was out of desperation. Who knows what underhanded tricks she might pull next.”

a Madelyn added, “Yadiel, I need to trouble you to keep an eye on Ruth for a few more days. I’m worried that if we let our guard down, she’ll cause more trouble.”

Yadiel understood Ruth’s deceitful nature and readily agreed, “Don’t worry, I’ll keep a close watch on her.”

Madelyn smiled gratefully.

“Sorry for always troubling you, Yadiel.”

Yadiel didn’t mind at all. He gently ruffled her hair and smiled warmly.

“Silly girl, don’t worry about troubling me. You’re my friend, so it’s only natural for me to help you.”

“Then I guess I owe you another meal.”

Madelyn chuckled lightly, prompting Yadiel to join in with a laugh as well.
