CHAPTER 35: CHAPTER 35: FOUND HIM

Sabrina had no idea the other party would have such high praise.

Surprised but happy!

She believed what he said.

After all, he’s an art teacher, his appreciation skills are definitely better than hers.

The teacher was clearly very fond of talent, he didn’t leave after speaking, and even stayed to guide Zara for a while.

The little cub was very diligent in her painting and had strong comprehension skills; she easily grasped the key points every time.

The young teacher was instantly envious, wishing he had more skill to teach this little girl!

Otherwise, in the future, he might become the mentor of a genius painter!

Later, Zara finally completed her first painting.

The teacher held it, praised it again, and reluctantly left with the children afterward.

Sabrina was very grateful to him, very happy inside, holding the little cub and planting kisses, "Our darling is amazing, even the teacher praised your painting!"

Zara was very happy to be praised, her little cheeks flushed, she smiled cutely with pursed lips.

Sabrina’s heart almost melted, immediately deciding to frame the painting when they go back.

This is the little cub’s first painting, it has commemorative significance, so it must be preserved well.

So when they went back, Sabrina specially went to buy several picture frames.

Zara loved her first creation, and after framing it, she held onto it and wouldn’t let go.

In the evening, when Jordan Hawthorne came home from work, the little cub toddled over with her short little legs, presented it like a treasure, and said, "Daddy...look..."

"What is this?"

Jordan Hawthorne received it with curiosity, glanced at it.

Zara said in a baby voice, "Painting...Zara painted it～"

Jordan Hawthorne frowned, looking at her, "You painted this?"

Zara nodded her little head, looking for praise.

However, Jordan Hawthorne couldn’t bring himself to compliment it.

To him, it was just a mess of random smudges; he couldn’t tell what was painted.

Not only was it abstract, but the colors were chaotic, completely not aligning with his aesthetics.

Sabrina was coming downstairs right at this moment and saw the scene.

Jordan Hawthorne immediately shifted blame to her, "Who taught her this? If she wants to learn, why not start with the basics?"

A simple sentence revealed a clear disdain.

Upon hearing this, Zara couldn’t hide the disappointment in her eyes.

Seeing this, Sabrina hurriedly took the painting back, speaking coldly, "Even professional teachers praised Zara’s painting, why are you the only one with an issue?"

"You call this good?"

Jordan Hawthorne frowned, visibly unconvinced.

Sabrina couldn’t help but feel a surge of anger.

Brooke Sinclairs’ son climbs a rock, and he can praise with, "Great job!"

But when it’s Zara, not even a single word is given!

Sabrina’s gaze was dark to the extreme, she directly sneered, "Just because you think it’s ugly doesn’t mean Zara’s painting is bad. After all, some people are blind both in sight and heart, and it’s not just a day or two!"

In his eyes, probably Brooke Sinclairs and her son farting would smell sweet.

"What do you mean, Sabrina?"

Jordan Hawthorne’s eyebrows and eyes sank suddenly, questioning, "Are you mocking me for not understanding art?"

Sabrina didn’t want to argue with him.

What he doesn’t understand goes beyond art!

Words were pointless, she didn’t want to be in the same space with him, soon she picked up Zara, ready to return upstairs.

Jordan Hawthorne instinctively stepped forward, wanting to pull Sabrina, but his phone rang.

No surprise, it was Brooke Sinclairs again.

The man suppressed his emotions and his tone turned gentle, "Hello."

Brooke Sinclairs’ voice quickly came from the other side, urgent and panicked, "Jordan, come quickly... Sonny suddenly has stomach pain, was rolling on the ground in pain just now, I... I’m now cold in hands and feet, can’t take him to the hospital, what to do..."

Upon hearing this, Jordan Hawthorne immediately soothed, "Don’t be anxious, I’ll come right away, first calm the little guy down and ask him where exactly he is uncomfortable..."

As he spoke, he grabbed the car keys on the table and turned around to head out.

Soon, he was out the door, followed by the sound of the car driving away.

Sabrina listened to the whole thing, her tightened fingers almost crushed the picture frame.

How utterly ridiculous!

When Zara was sick, he casually arranged a psychologist to deal with it, never asking about her specific situation.

On usual days, if she had a minor ailment, he wasn’t seen rushing back to care for her personally.

Now, he’s hurrying to take care of someone else’s son!

If he cares so much...why won’t he just divorce?

Is this life really enjoyable?

Or does he just enjoy the thrill of having an ’extramarital affair’?

Sabrina Hayes thought about it and felt so uncomfortable she could hardly bear it!

...

At this moment, in another villa just a ten-minute drive from the Hawthorne Family.

Brooke Sinclairs was holding her son, earnestly instructing him, "Later, when Dad Hawthorne comes over, remember to pretend you’re sick, okay? I’ll tell him your stomach hurts, so make it convincing. That way, he’ll stay with us tonight."

Sonny naturally had no objections, "Don’t worry, Mom, I’m best at pretending!"

"Great!"

Brooke Sinclairs was very satisfied and ruffled his hair, "As long as we keep at it, he’ll eventually come back to us."

Sonny nodded seriously and asked, "Mom, am I really Dad Hawthorne’s son?"

Brooke Sinclairs replied with ill intent, "Of course! Back then, Mom had to separate from Dad Hawthorne for some reasons, and it was Sabrina who took advantage of my absence to steal him away."

Upon hearing this, a fierce look inappropriate for his age appeared on Sonny’s face, "That woman is really bad, I definitely won’t let her have it easy! And her daughter, what an idiot, Dad Hawthorne doesn’t like her at all..."

As he spoke, he showed a bit of smugness, "Mom, I’ll be smarter and better in the future so that Dad Hawthorne will like me more! When the time comes, we’ll kick that woman and the fool out of the Hawthorne Family!"

"Alright."

Brooke Sinclairs echoed with a smile, her eyes showing undisguised greed.

She not only wanted Jordan Hawthorne but also wanted the position of the Hawthorne Family’s young madam!

Back then, she thought another man could offer more.

After choosing wrongly, she regretted it several times.

After the divorce, she easily deceived Jordan Hawthorne with a made-up reason.

This time, she definitely wouldn’t let the opportunity slip away again!

...

That night, unsurprisingly, Jordan Hawthorne didn’t come back again.

Sabrina Hayes was used to it and didn’t mind.

During breakfast, Josee Sheffield suddenly called, "Sabrina, Elder Yates wants to see you. Come to the hospital today."

Sabrina Hayes thought something might have gone wrong with the previous treatment and dared not delay, rushing there immediately.

Upon arriving at the ward, she found Elder Yates sitting energetically on the bed.

Sabrina Hayes walked over with a smile and said, "Elder Yates, it seems you’re recovering well?"

Elder Yates was particularly enthusiastic when he saw her and said, "Dr. Nash, come quickly. I have news for you. There’s been some progress on that psychologist you asked me to investigate."

"Really???"

Sabrina Hayes’s eyes lit up and she stepped forward quickly, "Found them?"

Elder Yates didn’t beat around the bush and said, "Not exactly, I just got some information... I heard that the person might arrive at the military compound in three days to conduct routine psychological evaluations for the returning special forces members...

The accuracy of this information can’t be guaranteed yet. After all, military matters can change at any time... But I think it might be worth a try!"

"Ah?"

Sabrina Hayes was momentarily stunned and a bit troubled.

Though getting information was exciting and uplifting,

the military compound is heavily guarded daily, how could a regular person get in?

She simply didn’t have that ability!

Elder Yates apparently saw her concern and smiled slightly, "You don’t have to worry about getting into the military compound. I’ve already considered it for you and even created an opportunity for you to enter, although... it might be a bit tough for you."

"What opportunity?"

Sabrina Hayes got a bit excited.

Elder Yates gave a steady smile, patted his leg that had recently undergone surgery, and said, "This leg of mine was disabled for many years; the military was aware. Recently, after it suddenly got healed, many old friends came to visit and inquire, and I took the opportunity to promote you a bit.

Now, those returning special forces soldiers have both new and old injuries, so the leaders want to invite you to treat them and are willing to pay enough compensation."

Sabrina Hayes was dumbfounded after hearing this.

She never expected that the opportunity Elder Yates created for her would be like this.

It’s known that the special forces perform secret missions for the country and people.

Ordinary people couldn’t easily come into contact with them.

Yet, to connect her with that psychologist, he actually let her go to treat them.

Not only that, but she could earn money meanwhile!

Sabrina Hayes was so grateful she didn’t know how to express it, "Thank you, Elder Yates, but actually, I can treat them without charge."

After all, they are heroes.

Treating them for free would be her honor.

However, Elder Yates waved it off, saying, "You deserve this. You’re living off your medical skills, so it’s fair to earn it! Still..."

He paused and emphasized again, "As I just mentioned, even if you go, you might not meet that person, so don’t set your hopes too high. Treat it as just another regular treatment assignment."

He feared Dr. Nash might be deeply disappointed if they couldn’t meet.

Sabrina Hayes understood his concern and nodded, saying, "Don’t worry, I’ll keep my mindset steady. Even if I don’t see them, it’s okay. As long as I continue helping with the special forces’ treatment, there will eventually be an opportunity to meet."

Elder Yates smiled, "It’s good you think that way."
