Chapter 81 Scarlett Didn’t Mean What She Said
Scarlett didn’t want to forgive Mike for being a jerk and ignoring her for a long time.
However, according to Tilda, Mike rushed out to buy medicine for her despite the dangerous road conditions. She started to worry about him.
“I didn’t beg him to save me. He asked for it!”
The expression on her face did not match the tone of her voice at all. Even Tilda could see that she was worried.
“Mrs. Abraham, it was destined that you would marry each other. Forgiveness is a virtue.”
Scarlett lowered her head.
She was speechless because she didn’t know how to tell Tilda the complicated situation between Mike and her.
Although she was very touched by Mike’s behavior of buying medicine for her regardless of the dangers, she did not forget what he had said yesterday.
He only treated her as a pet, treating her well and buying what she needed. He thought that he was paying for her service as a whore.
Thinking of the expression on his face when he said those words, Scarlett told herself not to worry him.
He ought to buy medicine and take care of her for injuring her in the first place, so they could call it even.
She must control her feelings and stop dreaming about things that didn’t belong to her. In the future, she would not hope that he would grow fond of her anymore.
Scarlett made her decision, but when she was lying on the bed and brushing her TimeLine message, she couldn’t help searching for the information related to wound infections.
Scarlett felt uneasy after learning the outcomes of infections.
It was said that people were easy to infect when the wound was soaked in sewage, and there was a chance that the limb may have to amputate!
These pieces of knowledge made her face pale and she quickly closed the web page.
However, those words lingered over.
Infection, amputation…
She couldn’t imagine that one of Mike’s legs would have to amputate for buying medicine for her on rainy days.
She pictured that Mike struggled with one leg and she felt extremely uncomfortable.
“Scarlett, what else do you expect from him? After what he did to you.” She knocked herself, driving him out of her mind.
Scarlett went asleep after taking the medicine from Tilda.
Lying on the bed with her eyes closed, but she could not fall asleep. She got a headache and felt that something was needed to be done.
Finally, she grabbed her phone and sent him a Line message. She felt relieved after that.
Finishing what she thought she had to do, Scarlett quickly fell asleep by the effects of the medicine.
The moment before she fell asleep, Scarlett told herself that she was only caring about him because of her kindness and it didn’t mean anything.
At this moment, Mike was inspecting the factory in person.
With their big boss personally coming over, the factory leaders who accompany him had to concentrate and read the expression on Mr. Abraham’s face.
Although Mr. Abraham looked a bit pale, he still seemed noble with determination revealed by his eyes
However, it was difficult for people to ignore his bad mood. From his expression to his movements, everyone could tell that Mr. Abraham was unhappy now.
The people who accompanied him had to watch their tongues, worrying that they may offend him unintendedly.
As a special PA, Daniel could tell from Mike’s dark clothes that he was in a bad mood and not happy at all.
There was a little trick Daniel used to judge if Mike was in a good mood. The color of Mike’s clothes.
The darker the color, the worse his mood would be. The black color was the worst condition. With pure dark clothes and even a black watch, Mike was in a lousy mood today.
Suddenly, a phone buzzed with an alert, which was clear in the quiet workshop.
The factory leaders accompanying Mike felt nervous. Whose phone was it? Who was dare to play the phone when Mr. Abraham was inspecting the factory today?
Just as the leaders were furiously searching for the source of the voice, they saw that Mr. Abraham calmly took out his phone and checked the message.
Reading the message, he finally smiled after showing a long face for a whole day
It was a brief message from her, with only one sentence:
Keep the wound clean and don’t haunt me if you died from infection.
The few simple words caused Mr. Abraham to read them over and over again.
“You heartless girl, I taking care of you all night and still work now, can’t you just say something nice?”
However, although this message only had a few words which weren’t kind, he was still happy that she was finally willing to speak to him.
As a result, Mr. Abraham’s mood was improved.
“Director, what did you just say?”
“Uh, it’s about the reason why the production has reduced these few days. I hope you can give me a chance to explain.”
The director carefully chose his words in fear of being scolded by Mr. Abraham.
“The bad weather was the main reason. Tripled the salaries of workers as a subsidy. And I will ask the Product Department to reduce the amount of production per day.”
Mr. Abraham was happy to receive the Line message, and now thousands of people benefited from it.
The director was frightened to death by the kind expression of Mr. Abraham.
He thought that he would be scolded by Mr. Abraham, but he didn’t expect Mr. Abraham to not only forgive him but also give the workers a pay raise?
Who would tell him where all these came from? Could happiness become so easy to get?
Mr. Abraham didn’t show a long face and seemed more kind. He continued his work.
Daniel patted the shoulder of the factory manager. He probably guessed who sent the Line message which changed Mr. Abraham’s mood and saved thousands of people.
It seemed that the method of judging Mike’s mood by his clothes didn’t work. Now, Ms. Abraham was the person who was related to the destiny of thousands of people!
A single message turned Mike’s mood. It was only her who could make that possible.
Scarlett rested for two days and recovered. She got the illness from a bad mood. Now she felt happy, so her illness was naturally cured.
However, because the cunning Mike was secretly planning to have a child with her, all the medicine he gave her was Chinese medicine which tasted bitter and made Scarlett annoyed.
What was made her even more annoyed was that she had never seen Mike since the day they had a row.
She had recovered from her illness, but he still didn’t show his face.
He didn’t reply to her message either.
He only asked Tilda to take care of her.
Scarlett wanted to know what he was doing now. She could only get to know how he was from Tilda or the news on TV. Recently, there was news about the Abraham Group on TV.
The heavy rain this year didn’t create a huge disaster in City B.
In other small cities, there were even casualties due to the heavy rain.
The Abraham Group did wonderful public relations work, by donating a lot of money and relief supplies, which made the company more famous.
Scarlett used the remote control to turn to the news channel. It happened to be the news that Mike donated money at a charity party representing the Abraham Group.
She put down the remote control and stared at Mike on the TV.
In the camera, he looked a bit thin.
Scarlett didn’t know if it was all in her mind, but she felt that his steps were slow, unlike the usual.
Could it be because of his leg injury?
She could see the picture of Mike buying medicine for her despite the heavy rain, although she didn’t witness it.
Besides, he didn’t come to visit in the past few days. So, it was very easy for Scarlett to think of the worst.
It had been four days since she didn’t see Mike.
The news about Mike was ended.
Scarlett started to change the channel again.
At first, she wanted to find some programs related to him. When all the news was over, she found that the broadcasters and the stars looked like Mike.
Tilda saw that she was restless. She sighed and wondered when they would get back together.
“Mike only asked her to take care of Scarlett and came back when Scarlett was recovered from her illness.”
“Right now, Scarlett was recovered, but the relationship between Mike and her didn’t improve at all.”
“Scarlett pretended to watch TV every day as normal, but she had sharp eyes than Scarlett thought.”
“She could see that although Scarlett changed channels all the time, all she saw were the news about the Abraham Group. And she also asked her about Mike in a casual tone.”
“Mike was also the same. He called her three times a day to ask things about Scarlett, such as her meal and if she rested well and recovered from the illness. But he didn’t come to visit her.
The Tilda was so anxious and decided to take action.
It was time!
“Tilda, are you alright?”
When Tilda walked past Scarlett like a ghost hundreds of times today, sighing and frowning, Scarlett finally couldn’t help asking her.
“Well, there’s something that Young Master won’t let me tell you, and I don’t know if I should tell you…”
Seeing Tilda’s hesitant expression and combined with her tone, Scarlett had to figure out what happened.
“What’s wrong with him?”
“He, alas!”
Tilda sighed again. She peeked at Scarlett’s worrying face and knew that she won.
“What’s wrong with him? Is there something wrong with his leg?”
Scarlett immediately thought of the scene that he walked slowly and felt anxious.
“Please go and visit him. Young Master is very stubborn. He refuses to take medicine. If he continues to be like this, alas!”
Tilda wiped her tears which didn’t exist as she said to Scarlett.
Scarlett’s face turned pale. Could it be that Mike was infected because of her?
“Is he at home or the company now?”
“The company of course. He is still working, refusing to rest.”Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
Scarlett immediately stood up and was about to leave.
“Young Madam, wait a minute!” Tilda stopped her.
“I’m not in a hurry.” Scarlett lied.
“Well, you are not in a hurry, but may you change your clothes first?”
Scarlett lowered her head and saw that she was still wearing SpongeBob pajamas.
Just now, she was about to walk out in pajamas!
