Chapter 174 It Wasn’t Just That
When she woke up this morning, she found that the table in Damon’s room was filled with a large bag. Only one of the bags was opened.
There was no need to ask, she also thought of what was going on.
Thinking back to this, she couldn’t help but blush and forgot to answer Emily’s question for a moment.
Emily looked at the inexplicable blush on Adele’s cheeks. She leaned closer and asked strangely, “Adele, what’s wrong with you?”
“No!” Adele snapped back to reality and hurriedly said.
“Then why do you look like that?” Emily continued to tease her.
Adele didn’t know what to say. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Ben who was not far behind them. Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration and turned to tease Emily. “Emily, you should be the one thinking about spring. Your target is right next to you. Hurry up and seize the opportunity!”
When she said this, Emily was stunned at first, but then she reacted. Her little face was red, angry and angry. She reached out to pat her back. “Adele, what nonsense are you talking about!”
“I’ve already called the car. Where are you going? I’ll send you back first,” Ben suggested.
“Adele, how about we go eat first?” Emily agreed.
He looked at Ben, then looked at Emily. “Assistant Johnson, come with us. Thanks for your care, right?” he said with a chuckle.
Emily glanced at Ben. The blush on her cheeks had not faded. She hesitated for a few seconds and finally nodded reluctantly. “Since Adele has spoken, let’s go together.”
A glimmer of light flashed in Ben’s eyes, and his usually serious expression loosened a little. He nodded and said, “Okay.”This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
After a while, a taxi came. The three of them got into the car and went directly to the nearby shopping mall.
On the other side, in a unique villa on the outskirts.
With a crisp sound, a high-quality blue and white porcelain vase fell to the ground and turned into pieces.
A servant bowed his head and looked at the fragments on the ground. He was so afraid that he did not dare to raise his head.
Beside him, a handsome man was sitting on a high-end multi-functional wheelchair.
He looked out of the window and asked leisurely, “Uncle Lin, you used to be my mother’s subordinate. Now you have followed me for more than two years. Do you still not know my character?”
The middle-aged man called Uncle Lin lowered his head and said repeatedly, “I know, I know, I know.”
“Then you should know exactly what I want.”
His tone was calm and unhurried, but there was an indescribable coldness that made people feel fear.
After a long silence, he finally moved his lips, “For the sake of my mother, I will give you one more chance. If you can’t find the same vase again, you will use this kind of thing to stall me. You know the consequences.”
Uncle Lin quickly responded and bowed even lower, “It’s Young Master, I understand…”
Hearing this, Kobei frowned impatiently and waved his hand to signal for him to leave.
Soon, Uncle Lin went down. Roman walked in and saw the shattered pieces of the vase on the ground. His usually expressionless face frowned. “Young Master, you will hurt yourself.”
Upon hearing his words, Kobei, who was in the wheelchair, sneered and said self-deprecatingly, “If only I could really feel pain.”
His legs had already lost consciousness for several years. He was unable to walk or feel any pain, just like a decoration!
Roman paused for a moment and continued, “The recovery therapy is very effective this time. Young Master should be confident in himself.”
Hearing this, a hint of disgust flashed across Kobei’s face. A few seconds later, he changed the topic and asked, “What is it?”
“I received news that Adele has returned to China,” Roman said in a mechanical voice.
Kobei hesitated for a moment, seemingly not particularly surprised. “Where is Damon? Is he still in Thailand?”
“Yes, except for Ben, none of his people came back.”
Hearing this, Kobei casually picked up the bird food on the table next to him and threw it into the food box of the parrot next to him.
The red-browed parrot, who was standing on the stand, immediately jumped over excitedly. After pecking, he shouted excitedly, “Master, Master! Thank you, Master!”
Kobei raised his eyebrows, and a sneer flashed in his eyes. Then he said unhurriedly, “Have you prepared the photos of Thailand?”
“Everything is ready,” Roman replied.
Kobei clapped his hands and brushed away the scattered bird food on the blanket covering his legs. “We can send it to Clara now,” he said lightly.
“Yes,” Roman nodded.
After he agreed, he thought of something and said, “Young Master, the one called Xiaoman Lu has already come over. She has been waiting downstairs for half an hour.”
Kobei’s expression did not change. She continued to calmly pick up the bird food and fed it to the red-browed parrot. “Then let her wait for half an hour.”
Xiaoman Lu sat on the sofa in the hall and glanced around. She looked at the grand and high-class decoration in the living room and could not help but sigh in her heart. This master was really a rare rich person. The decoration of the house was exquisite to every detail.
After looking through the decoration in the room several times, she also felt bored.
More than forty minutes had passed, but no one had come to inform her to meet the patient.
It was really strange.
The task this time was personally issued by the director of the department. He said that he was a distinguished VIP patient who needed personal care. Because the situation was special, the location of the care was at home. This was already strange enough for her. She did not expect that after waiting here for half a day, the other party did not show up at all.
Finally, after another ten minutes, a man dressed in black and expressionless came downstairs and said to her in a stiff voice, “Nurse Lu, please follow me upstairs.”
When Xiaoman Lu heard this, she immediately got up and followed him to the second floor and followed him into a room.
In the spacious and bright room, a man with a cold temperament sat in a wheelchair. Beside him was a table with a parrot stand on it.
The first word that popped up in Xiaoman’s mind was “mystery”.
“Come here.” Kobei didn’t turn around.
Xiaoman was stunned when she heard the voice. Under Roman’s signal, she slowly walked forward.
Just as she approached, the parrot on the nearby stand suddenly tilted its head and cawed, “Beauty! Beauty!”
Kobei was stunned for a moment. A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. He turned around and glanced at Xiaoman Lu. He looked at her smooth little face. His gaze swept past her and then moved away.
Just average.
Xiaoman Lu saw the disdain in the man’s eyes and paused for a moment. She then said in a businesslike manner, “Mr. Yusuf, I am your personal nurse, Xiaoman Lu.”
“Yes, Roman will take you to familiarize yourself with the work content. Come to work tomorrow.”
Kobei’s tone was gentle and polite, but there was a clear sense of alienation.
Xiaoman Lu nodded and agreed. She was about to turn around and leave with Roman when she was suddenly stopped by someone.
“Nurse Lu, I heard that you are very familiar with Adele?”
Hearing this name, Xiaoman Lu was slightly startled. Then she whispered, “Is it an old friend from before? Does Mr. Yusuf know her?”
“Yes, I do,” Kobei said indifferently.
Not only did they know each other, but Adele was his former sister-in-law and also his future chess piece.
