Angela had only one major class in the afternoon. After finishing her class, Angela planned to go
straight home. Although she now had a place to live, she didn’t have much money on her. The Kins
Family believed that as long as they provided her with food and she didn’t starve, she should be
grateful. Angela left the school gate and waited for the bus while opening her phone. Out of habit, she
wanted to go online and check if there were any part-time jobs on the app. But when she opened her
phone, she felt a bit frustrated. It wasn’t a smartphone, so she couldn’t really find any jobs with apps.
She could only make calls and send text messages.
After a while, a black sedan suddenly stopped in front of her. Subconsciously, she looked into the car
and saw the back window slowly rolling down, revealing a man’s deep and three-dimensional face. His
expression was as cold and indifferent as always, exuding an air of nobility untainted by the mundane
world. Jonathan glanced at Angela and said slowly, “Get in the car.” Angela was stunned for a moment,
not understanding what he meant. The man frowned and said in a low voice, “There’s blood on your
skirt.” Upon hearing this, Angela immediately blushed, anxiously looking behind her. Sure enough,
there was a small red mark on the back of her blue skirt. Although it was already September, the
weather was still hot, and this was the only skirt she had. Embarrassed and angry, Angela covered the
red mark on her skirt with one hand, but unfortunately, Jonathan saw it. She felt so embarrassed that
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtshe wanted to disappear on the spot. “Get in the car!”
Jonathan’s cold voice came again. At this moment, the driver’s door opened, and Sebastian, the driver,
got out of the car. He smiled kindly and opened the back door, gesturing for her to get in. After thinking
for a moment, Angela didn’t want to be overly shy and got into the car, feeling embarrassed. But in her
current situation, she didn’t dare to sit on the seat, afraid of dirtying it. Angela lowered her head and
could only squat down, looking like a helpless little creature. Sebastian closed the car door and sat in
the front driver’s seat. He turned his head and asked Angela, “Miss, where do you live?” “In the military
district compound, on Northcity Avenue,” Angela answered cautiously, not knowing where to put her
hands and feet due to the embarrassment. Jonathan looked coolly at the crouching Angela and asked,
“Isn’t it uncomfortable to squat like this?” “It’s not uncomfortable. It’s fine…” Before she could finish her
sentence, Angela, due to nervousness, hit her head on the car roof, causing her pain and making her
too afraid to make a sound.
The rebuttal came too quickly, and she felt a bit awkward, burying her head even lower, not daring to
breathe loudly. Jonathan pursed his thin lips into a straight line, glanced at her, took off his suit jacket,
and threw it onto the nearby seat. “Use this as a cushion.” Angela widened her eyes in surprise, her
fan-like eyelashes trembling. This suit obviously had a high price tag. She had to figure out how to
afford her meals now, so how could she dare to use such an expensive suit as a makeshift cushion?
She couldn’t afford it. Seemingly aware of her thoughts, Jonathan raised an eyebrow. “Do you think I
need to extort money from a student like you?” Well… Angela accepted it, thanked him, and then
carefully stood up and sat in that spot. The car sped along the road, and to avoid awkwardness, Angela
kept her gaze fixed on the window. The bright car window reflected Jonathan’s profile: handsome and
unparalleled, clean, and clear, all while still exuding the maturity of a man. How could such an
outstanding person die two years later? It was such a pity. Soon, the car stopped at an intersection.
Angela breathed a sigh of relief, thanked them, and immediately jumped out of the car. For some
reason, Sebastian also opened the car door and called her back. Sebastian hesitated briefly before
finally asking, “Miss, have you always lived in the military zone?
Are you familiar with an elderly woman named Charlotte?” Upon hearing this name, Angela raised her
gaze with curiosity. “You know my grandmother?” “Is she your grandmother? Can you tell me where
she is now?” Sebastian’s voice carried a hint of excitement. Angela nodded, but her expression turned
somewhat sad. “My grandmother passed away three years ago.” Sebastian seemed to have a hard
time accepting this news, disappointment filling his face. Sebastian wanted to say something else, but
in the end, he chose not to. He smiled kindly and said, “We arrived too late. Alright, young lady, you
may go upstairs.” Angela nodded, turned around, and walked back, her mind filled with speculation.
Was Sebastian looking for my grandmother because of Jonathan’s illness? In my previous life, did
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJonathan die because they couldn’t find my grandmother? Before she took a few steps, a hurried voice
came from the car. “Master Jonathan, what’s wrong?” “The medicine, where is it?” Sebastian anxiously
searched through the car’s storage compartment. He distinctly remembered placing spare medicine
there, so why couldn’t he find it? Angela’s footsteps paused, and she quickly ran back, opened the car
door, and got in. She saw Jonathan with a pained expression, his brows tightly furrowed, his face as
pale as paper, and cold sweat seeping from his forehead. With one hand supporting his head, the veins
on his neck were pulsating. Jonathan fell ill?
Angela was startled by this scene and instinctively reached out to feel his pulse. A few seconds later,
Angela pursed her lips, roughly understanding Jonathan’s condition, along with the scent of herbal
medicine emanating from his body. There was the aroma of magnolia bark, Centralis fungi, and
diazepam. And these were all herbs used to treat insomnia, excessive dreaming, and mental
weakness. Especially diazepam. Its use indicated that the situation was already very serious. Long-
term sleep disorders would make a person irritable and mentally exhausted. Treating it as a simple
sleep problem would be futile. Instead, with the passage of time, it would only worsen. Jonathan
opened his eyes, his black pupils as cold as ice, with a crimson tint at the corners. He gasped and
turned his head, his face shrouded in darkness. With great effort, he managed to utter a few words,
“Please keep your distance from me!”
