Remarried Wife: She will Remarry, But Another Person-Chapter 194: Pull Up Your Pants, Let Me See

The two, with Nash Spencer following closely, quickly left the banquet hall.

Josee Sheffield stood in place, watching their departing backs, with a somewhat somber expression.

The old man also suspiciously stared at their figures, feeling an inexplicable sense of tension.

Could this apprentice who just returned be led astray again?

Sabrina Hayes didn’t know what the old man was thinking.

She walked outside with Jasper Fitzgerald before speaking to him, "Roll up your pants leg, let me take a look."

Jasper raised an eyebrow at her words.

Nash almost choked on his own saliva.

What’s Dr. Nash up to?

So... direct???

His mind started to wander wildly.

Jasper knew what Sabrina was worried about.

He said helplessly, "I’m really not hurt."

But Sabrina, without seeing it for herself, still didn’t believe.

There was so much shattered glass flying around earlier, even his custom-fitted trousers got torn, and it’s possible that shards could have cut the skin inside...

Sabrina insisted, "Let me take a look, just one glance, I need to make sure you’re not injured."

Her attitude showed she was not going to be at ease without checking.

Jasper had no choice but to agree, "Alright then, let’s find a place to sit down and look."

Only then did Sabrina’s expression somewhat ease.

They walked to a nearby lounge and sat on a sofa, where Jasper slightly rolled up his pant leg.

Nash, seeing this, couldn’t help but widen his eyes.

Seriously letting her see???

Sabrina didn’t notice his surprised expression, her eyes concerned as she glanced at Jasper’s ankle, where it was indeed as she had guessed.

There were already two small cuts at the ankle and calf, with some red marks nearby.

Sabrina frowned, looking at Jasper, "You’re really hurt."

The implication was that he had lied to her.

Jasper smiled wryly, "It’s not serious. Since it doesn’t hurt much, I thought it was fine."

To him, these small injuries would heal even if he went to the hospital a bit later.

But Sabrina took it very seriously, "That’s not acceptable, it’s still an injury. You sit for a while, I’ll help you with it."

"No need, I’ll clean up when I get back. The pants are dirty, I should change first. It’s just a minor injury, really nothing to worry about."

In Jasper’s view, since he needed to wash up when he got back anyway, there was no need to apply medication right now.

Sabrina wanted to insist, but recalling the texture she felt earlier, it was true the pants were wet, likely from the champagne spilled earlier.

Since the pants were dark, it wasn’t noticeable...

Seeing her furrowed brow, Jasper teased, "With that serious look, someone might think I’m going to bleed to death."

Sabrina pouted, "What nonsense are you talking?"

Jasper chuckled, "Okay, I won’t talk nonsense, but really, there’s no need to deal with it now. The wine stains are a bit sticky, it’s uncomfortable... If you apply the medication now, I’ll just wash it off at home.

So let’s not bother, you should go back inside. Your mentor is here tonight, you probably have a lot to talk about. If you’re really worried, I’ll report back to you after applying the medicine later."

Sabrina seeing he said so, didn’t insist further.

After all, she really couldn’t leave early tonight.

So she told Jasper, "Okay, then be careful on your way back, and thanks for earlier. If you hadn’t appeared in time, I don’t know what would have happened..."

I might have landed in a pile of glass, probably covered in blood.

But Jasper shook his head, "Lucky for the timing of my arrival, or else it’s unimaginable what could have happened."

Recalling that moment earlier, had he not entered the banquet hall or been close to Sabrina, it was likely she wouldn’t have escaped being injured by all the glass shards.

Thinking of that situation, he felt a slight sense of alarm.

Something he had never felt before.

Sabrina felt the same, feeling increasingly grateful to him.

She didn’t know why, but it seemed that every time she was in danger or needed help, Jasper was there!

She really owed him more and more...

Feeling uncomfortable with the wet and sticky pants, Jasper quickly left.

Sabrina returned to the banquet scene to find her mentor.

Upon her return, she was soon surrounded by people.

Things were different now, with her identity as Elder Shepherd’s apprentice revealed, many were eager to befriend her.

Whether it was her self-founded brand or The Chiron Sect, her future was destined to be limitless.

Sabrina knew this, so she patiently and calmly dealt with the guests’ toasts.

Soon everyone forgot about the earlier episode.

The banquet continued for several hours.

By the time it ended, it was already past nine at night.

Director Warren originally planned to arrange a car to send the old man home, but the old man declined politely.

"No need for the trouble, my driver will be here soon, and failing that, my girl can take me. You should handle your matters, don’t worry about me."

Seeing him say this, Director Warren smiled and said, "In that case, I won’t disturb your time with your mentor."

He obviously saw that the old man had more to discuss with his own apprentice.

Then he looked at Sabrina Hayes and politely said to her, "Dr. Hayes, when you have the opportunity to come to Aethel again, let’s have dinner together."

Sabrina Hayes nodded and smiled, "Of course, thank you for looking after us tonight, Director Warren."

Director Warren replied with a smile, "No need for thanks, Dr. Hayes. As one of the heads of the Medical and Pharmaceutical Association, it’s my duty."

As they spoke, the car arrived.

Sabrina Hayes helped the old man and walked to the car.

Josee Sheffield came over from behind and opened the car door to assist them both.

It seemed that Sabrina Hayes only remembered him at that moment.

She glanced at Josee Sheffield and said, "Thanks."

Josee Sheffield glanced back at her.

Originally, he had a lot he wanted to ask her.

But he also knew now wasn’t the right time for questions. Sabrina Hayes had finally seen her mentor tonight and surely wanted to go back with him.

So, regarding the matter of that man, although his curiosity was eating away at him, he still restrained himself.

He smiled kindly and replied, "No need to be polite with me. Have a good chat with Elder Shepherd. Be careful on the road, and send me a message when you arrive."

"Alright."

Sabrina Hayes nodded, not saying more to him, and then got into the car with her mentor.

The car quickly started and not long after, left the hotel entrance.

The guests, who left together, only dispersed after watching the old man’s car drive away.

As Josee Sheffield returned to the hotel, his mind was filled with the incident where Sabrina Hayes encountered danger but was saved by someone else first.

The existence of that man seemed to be like a thorn in his heart.

Not obvious, but it made him very uncomfortable.

He had a rough idea of tonight’s guest list.

Except for that man.

Josee Sheffield thought that perhaps his opponent was the owner of the spot reserved at the main table by Director Warren.

When Sabrina Hayes left with that man, he also tried to coax information from Director Warren about him.

But no matter how he inquired, Director Warren was tight-lipped.

Josee Sheffield narrowed his eyes slightly.

Just as Jordan Hawthorne left, is there another rival?

That psychologist, who he didn’t take seriously before, now it seems... he can’t ignore.

Josee Sheffield’s eyes deepened as he instructed his assistant Flynn Underwood, "Look into the background of the psychologist treating Zara."

Flynn Underwood, having sensed the low pressure emanating from his boss for a while, immediately responded, "Alright, I will check it right away!"

Sabrina Hayes was unaware of any of this.

She was currently on the way back with her mentor.

She watched her mentor with concern and asked, "Mentor, you drank some wine tonight, is your body feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"

The old man snorted proudly, "You know to care for me after all?"

Sabrina Hayes beamed at him and said, "What do you mean, mentor? I always care for you. Are you still mad?

The matter from back then was my fault. You can hit me, scold me, or punish me; I accept it all, just don’t be angry anymore.

If my issues harm your health, it wouldn’t be worth it at all."

The old man huffed coldly, his words were unforgiving, "You speak nicely, but who was it that made me angry for five years!"

Even though he stood up for her tonight, the old man still harbored some resentment.

Naturally, Sabrina Hayes knew this. At that moment, she flatteringly massaged his legs and said with a wheedling tone, "I really know I was wrong, those past five years I was immature, blind and didn’t listen to you.

So the things I encountered afterward were my comeuppance, I paid the price.

In the future, I will no longer defy you or break your heart.

I will focus on my career, expand the medical arts of The Chiron Sect, and become a disciple you can be proud of, fulfill my filial duties, and never make you sad or worried again, okay?"

Listening to her words, the old man’s deliberately stern face was starting to crack.

Of course, he didn’t want to soften his heart or forgive her so quickly.

But seeing his stubborn apprentice trying so hard to please him, he couldn’t harden his heart.

In the end, all his anger turned into a sigh.

So be it, after all, she’s still his apprentice.

As Woods said, she’s a child he raised up.

She indeed paid the price for her mistakes, suffering so many years.

Unless he could truly harden his heart and disown her.

Otherwise, in the end, wouldn’t it still be him feeling the heartache?

The old man suddenly understood the saying about children’s debts.

Though not his biological child, he could relate to it.

Finally, he reluctantly said, "This is the last time, Sabrina Hayes, I’m telling you, if it happens again, I will truly sever our relationship!

I’ll consider that I never took you as my apprentice! This time, I mean it!"

Sabrina Hayes heard the resolve in her mentor’s tone.

She also understood that he couldn’t bear to lose again.

With red-rimmed eyes, she nodded earnestly, promising, "I truly won’t let it happen again this time..."
