CHAPTER 125: CHAPTER 125: HER HAND IS VERY SOFT

Charlotte smiled, "Although it’s indeed a pity, I think it’s worth it. A person needs to understand gratitude, that’s what my mom always taught me.

You are a benefactor to my family, and I will always remember it in my heart!"

Sabrina Hayes was moved by her sincerity.

This little girl is not only simple and grateful but also very likable.

She immediately made a decision in her heart, "Alright then, since you don’t want the money, how about I find you a job? I recently created a new research institute. You can work as the receptionist there, and in your spare time, you can assist me as a temporary assistant and learn some medical knowledge.

I heard you studied medicine in college but had to drop out due to family reasons.

You have a certain foundation, so maybe you’ll pick it up quickly.

If you are competent, perhaps I can give you a more suitable position in the future. Are you willing?"

Of course, let me say this up front. Medicine is about saving lives, and you must be very professional.

So, this path might not be easy!"

"I am willing!"

Charlotte said almost without hesitation, "My dream was to become a doctor before, but conditions limited my development. Now that I have the opportunity to learn from you, I will definitely be very diligent.

I’ve been picking up my studies again, ensuring I can assist you in the future!"

Sabrina Hayes was very satisfied, "Good, very spirited. In that case, I’ll take you to the institute to report in a bit. The salary and benefits won’t be worse than what you had with the Hawthorne Family."

Charlotte was happy and grateful, "Thank you, miss."

Sabrina Hayes waved her hand, "No need to call me miss. If you don’t mind, just call me Sabrina."

"Okay, Sabrina."

Charlotte nodded.

So, the two of them didn’t stay long at the café and headed straight to the research institute.

Upon arrival, Sabrina Hayes called the HR department to handle Charlotte’s onboarding.

After that, she entered the lab.

The new special-effect drug was about to be completed. Before launching it, numerous repeated tests had to be conducted to ensure everything was perfect.

For example, adverse reactions, double-blind tests, etc.

Busy days flew by quickly, and in the blink of an eye, half a month passed.

Sabrina Hayes returned, and the first new special-effect drug she developed was finally completed.

Josee Sheffield was very cooperative, beginning to arrange the launch.

He went all out, even inviting very famous figures to test the drug.

"If the results are good, it will undoubtedly be the best advertisement. Let’s aim to make a name for ourselves in one go! This is also your first official battle after coming back!"

Sabrina Hayes didn’t care much about fame.

She only cares about whether the medicine can cure more people!

In the evening, after finishing work, she went to pick up Zara from school.

As they were preparing to leave, Nash Spencer suddenly called, "Dr. Nash, are you free now? Could you come to the Hillside Villa?"

Sabrina Hayes heard the seriousness in his tone and quickly asked, "Did something happen?"

Nash Spencer didn’t hide it, "Our master recently had a relapse of an old injury while training with the troops. The military doctor said he needed to rest, but the past few days, his shoulder has been in a lot of pain. And now a mission has come up from the troops, and I’m afraid he won’t be able to bear it, so I have to ask you to come and see if you can help."

Sabrina Hayes wouldn’t delay upon hearing this, "Okay, send me the address, and I’ll be there soon."

Nash Spencer was grateful, "Thank you!"

After hanging up, Sabrina Hayes first took Zara home and then briefly informed her parents before hurrying to the Hillside Villa.

Upon arrival, she saw Jasper Fitzgerald, whom she hadn’t seen in a while.

The man was wearing soft and loose home clothes, making him appear gentle and harmless.

His originally cold and handsome face was a bit pale, adding a trace of sickliness.

In this state, his charm was strangely intensified.

His features became more captivating; when raising his eyebrows, his clear eyes were like a calm deep pool, making people want to look into them unconsciously.

Sabrina Hayes was momentarily stunned, only coming to her senses when Jasper Fitzgerald spoke.

"For such a small matter, Nash actually had you come all the way here."

Sabrina Hayes quickly walked over and said, "It’s nothing, if it can reduce your pain, then this trip was worth it! Didn’t we say not to be too formal?"

Jasper Fitzgerald smiled warmly, "Alright, I won’t say any pleasantries then."

Sabrina Hayes put down her medical kit and began to inquire about his condition, "What’s bothering you? Tell me in detail so I can treat you."

Jasper Fitzgerald answered clearly, "I once had a bone injury. After recovering, it left a chronic issue. Both tendons and muscles are somewhat damaged! Previously, I specially exercised and took care of it, so it seldom recurred, but I’ve been too busy lately and neglected it!"

Sabrina Hayes asked, "Is it just the shoulder area? Do you mind if I... touch it? So I can confirm the condition and location of the injury."

"Of course."

Jasper Fitzgerald readily agreed.

Sabrina Hayes nodded, discreetly taking a deep breath, then placed her hand on his shoulder.

At the first touch, both of them tensed up, but Sabrina Hayes soon gently pressed to confirm the location.

After a while, she had a sense of what to do, "To quickly alleviate it, you’ll need Silver Needles treatment, so... you might need to take your shirt..."

—off!

Before she finished her words, the man in front of her had already swiftly removed his sweater.

Sabrina Hayes, "..."

All the words unexpectedly got stuck in her throat.

She was looking at the male physique in front of her, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist.

The cold, pale skin, with muscle distribution extremely even, the eight-pack abs on the abdomen distinctly visible. When the lines are taut, there’s an indescribable sense of power and hormone aura, directly overflowing.

"Is this okay?"

The man casually tossed his clothes aside, his voice low and husky.

When asking her, that dignified, abstinent, serious look formed a sharp, stark contrast with this posture full of sexual tension.

Sabrina Hayes forcibly swallowed her words and said, "It’s okay!"

Undressing indeed makes it more convenient!

She didn’t delay either, quickly retracting her gaze and beginning to prepare.

After a while, when the Silver Needles were disinfected, she turned serious, "During the process, it may hurt a bit, you’ll have to bear it."

"Just do it!"

Jasper Fitzgerald leaned back on the sofa, responding in a lazy tone.

Next to him, Nash Spencer, "... "

The scene before his eyes, this conversation, why does it just... spur the imagination?

He couldn’t resist starting to let his mind wander.

Sabrina Hayes had already begun to insert the needles swiftly.

The Silver Needles were thin and long, indeed quite uncomfortable when inserted, and coupled with the old injury on the shoulder, even Jasper Fitzgerald couldn’t help frowning slightly.

Sabrina Hayes noticed and subconsciously blew on him.

The cool sensation came, and Jasper Fitzgerald was momentarily stunned.

His gaze deepened as he looked at her.

The man’s eyes were as deep as night, with an unfathomable meaning.

Sabrina Hayes, finally realizing, felt a bit awkward.

On ordinary days, when Zara was in pain, she would also blow on her. This habit was purely a subconscious behavior.

She stiffly turned her gaze away, too embarrassed to even explain, only her ear lobes were slightly hot.

Jasper Fitzgerald noticed it, a barely perceptible smile flashed in his eyes, and he said, "It doesn’t seem so painful anymore."

He could naturally see that this was a behavior meant for comforting a child, but he didn’t expose it.

Sabrina Hayes’ ears reddened even more.

When will I ever manage to keep my dignity in front of him?

Luckily, the needlework was finished, and she hurriedly pretended to get busy preparing medication.

Once things got busy, that bit of awkward atmosphere quickly dissipated.

About ten minutes later, Jasper Fitzgerald began to feel that the persistent pain in his shoulder over several days started to fade, and soon it didn’t feel as uncomfortable.

Sabrina Hayes came over to remove the needles and said, "The suppression from the Silver Needles, combined with ointment-assisted massage, can relieve muscle tightness and pain..."

She seemed to hesitate about whether she should proceed.

After all, this counted as quite intimate contact.

Jasper Fitzgerald appeared to notice her hesitation and said straightforwardly, "Then could you please give me a hand? Apart from Nash Spencer and the bodyguards here, there’s no one else, and they’re probably not up for this detailed work, I don’t want my arm to be completely ruined."

Nash Spencer timely responded, "That’s right, I only know how to dislocate arms."

"Pfft."

Sabrina Hayes couldn’t hold back and burst into laughter, suddenly not feeling so nervous anymore, and simply started to help him massage.

She had the technique, and each time she could accurately press the acupuncture points. Eventually, Jasper Fitzgerald felt that the pain completely disappeared, leaving only comfort.

It was also at that moment that he finely sensed the feeling of that touch.

The hands were small, also soft, walking over the skin, giving him a feeling that was indescribable and inexplicable.

Nash Spencer, by this point, was already experiencing an internal upheaval.

After the previous accidental support and hug, this time, it was definitely, definitely not an accident, right?

Although it’s a treatment but... the master actually let someone touch his body?

Previously for treatments, he would adamantly demand male doctors!

Still claim there’s no special treatment?

Why can’t I do this detailed work?

He could even sew clothes!

However, letting his heart clamor was one thing, Nash Spencer ultimately dared not express anything outwardly.

He still wanted to live a little longer!

The two were clueless about his rich internal activity.

Later in the evening, after the treatment was over, Sabrina Hayes prescribed a three-day course of medication to the male lead, "Take it on time after meals every day, and this condition should not recur during this period."

After Jasper Fitzgerald put on his clothes, he moved his muscles and bones, and said sincerely, "It has to be you, it looks like I can get a good night’s sleep tonight."

Sabrina Hayes shook her head, "Next time something like this happens, remember to look for me immediately, don’t hold back, and don’t worry about troubling me, you’ve helped Zara so much, and I never said anything."

Jasper Fitzgerald looked at her and said, "You’ve also helped me many times, and never charged me a fee. I suppose you won’t accept it either, so... let me give you something instead."

"Ah?"

Sabrina Hayes was taken aback, originally wanting to say no.

But Jasper Fitzgerald didn’t give her a chance to refuse, quickly fetching a wooden box beside him and saying, "Open it and have a look, you might like it, it’s something that can aid psychological therapy."

Upon hearing it was related to psychology, Sabrina Hayes said nothing further and quickly opened the lid.

Inside... lay a piece of warm and smooth Jade Pendant.
