Miss Garsia, the Cat Is Out of the Bag

Javen remained silent. Cassie panicked. “I really didn’t…”

Before she could finish her sentence, Ziad Powell saw her wronged expression and felt sorry for her. “Well, did Mr. Smith come all the way here just to question your girlfriend?”

Javen was already worried about Cassie. Now that Ziad Powell took her side, the chill in his eyes became more and more intense. “I am talking to my girlfriend, when is it your turn to interrupt?”

“I don’t want to interrupt at all. But anyone who sees his girlfriend like this should show some concern first, right?”

“Anyway, it has nothing to do with you. Mind your own business, please!”

Ziad Powell sneered, “Do you know what it is? Sulfuric acid! Do you really think it’s a small problem to splash sulfuric acid on her arm? The person who blocked the sulfuric acid for Cassie has entered the operating room. Not only are you doing nothing as a boyfriend, but you are questioning here. You are really a good man!”

Javen looked at Cassie in front of him. His eyes flashed with sadness.

Cassie was just about to call him back when she noticed her arm jerking violently. Pain quickly engulfed her.

“Hiss-” Cassie bent down, and she broke out in a cold sweat because of the pain.

When Ziad Powell saw it, he immediately lowered his head and asked her if she needed a doctor.

Cassie shook her head. When she raised her head again, the man in front of her had disappeared. Only the door was slightly open, indicating that someone had visited.

“He’s gone. I have to find him.”

Cassie wanted to stand up, but Ziad Powell suddenly pressed her down. “Why are you looking for such a man? He doesn’t even care about your wound.”

“He’s not like that.”

Cassie sighed a sigh deeply. She knew that she couldn’t explain it to him now. She’d better wait until her wound recovered and then look for him.

“I wonder how about Barnett James now.”

Thinking of the way he pounced on her at that time, Cassie was a little nervous. She still remembered the wound on his back, which was badly mutilated and frightening.

“He should still be having an operation now. You know, his injury is a little serious. It may not be handled well in a short time.”

“It’s okay. His injury will definitely be fine.”

Tears welled up in Cassie’s eyes. Thinking of her gorgeous face with such a mottled back, she felt a pang of bitterness.This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Ziad Powell thought that she was just trying to comfort him, so he smiled and said, “It’s okay, I know it won’t recover at all. Fortunately, it’s on his back. If it were on his face, Barnett James would probably be depressed.”

“I am not joking.” Cassie looked at Ziad Powell’s face and said seriously.

“Really?” Ziad Powell had never heard such ridiculous words before and was slightly surprised, “You can restore his skin to its original state?”

Cassie smiled at him in surprise. “I didn’t know that Mr. Powell had such a shocking side to you. Of course, it’s true. Have you heard of Black Brown?”

“Black Brown who can bring the patient back to life?”

“It’s not that exaggerated, really,” said Cassie. “He is my master. Can you trust me now?”

Surprised, Ziad Powell asked, “You are Black Brown’s disciple. Can you do me a favor?”

Cassie looked at him asking for a favor and nodded. “Go ahead.”

“I have a… friend who grew up with me. She has always had a strange disease. She likes to live in a dark place and is afraid of the light. Can you help her?”

Cassie frowned. “Photophobia?”

“Probably. I went to many hospitals, but they couldn’t cure her. Can you please take a check for her? She’s really a very good girl, but she went through a hard time. Her mother passed away when she was a child…”

When her tragic experience was mentioned, Ziad Powell couldn’t help but sigh.

“Do you like her?” Cassie teased him subconsciously as she looked at his caring and distressed face.

“How is that possible? It’s not love. It’s just the concern of a younger sister.”

When Ziad Powell saw her sly smile, he immediately retorted.

For some reason, he did not want Cassie to misunderstand him.

Cassie stopped smiling and said, “I’ll try. Take me to see her later.”

“Okay.”

After a while, a nurse came to inform them that Barnett James had been sent to the ICU, and the James family had also rushed out of the ward.

Cassie’s heart skipped a beat. The James family would never let her get away with it.

Ziad Powell saw her nervousness and patted her shoulder. “I will speak up for you, don’t worry.”

They went outside the ward of Barnett James together. As soon as they arrived at the door, a middle-aged woman rushed over and slapped Cassie.

Suddenly.

The clear sound of the slap echoed clearly in the quiet corridor of the hospital. Cassie could have avoided it, but she remembered that Barnett James was still unconscious in the ward, so she took the slap head-on.

Mrs. James should be angry.

After all, her son had become like this in order to protect her, and every mother would do the same when she saw this situation.

“How did my son become like this in such a short time? Cassie, you are a jinx!”

With the bright red palm print, Cassie lowered her head and whispered, “I’m sorry.”

For the first time, she lowered her head and endured all the insults.

Ziad Powell couldn’t bear to see her forbearance, so he quickly explained, “It’s not her fault, but Barnett James took the initiative to protect her.”

Mrs. James sneered and said, “Ha, if she hadn’t been framed by others, would Barnett suffer for her? In fact, she is a troublemaker!”

Cassie looked up at her coldly and said, “Mrs. James, I admit that I am wrong. I am willing to cure Barnett James, but it doesn’t mean that you can insult me at will.”

“Oh, you’re talking back, aren’t you? Then tell me, how can you save him when sulfuric acid is poured on him? You’re not capable, but you’re arrogant!”

Mrs. James did not believe that Cassie was able to cure Barnett James. She just thought that she was trying to escape from the trouble.

“Mrs. James, if I fail, I will have to endure the same pain as Barnett James.”

Cassie’s words stunned not only Mrs. James, but also Ziad Powell.

What nonsense was Cassie spouting?

“Cassie, don’t talk nonsense. It’s not a small problem.”

Ziad Powell tried to stop her, but was stopped by Cassie’s eyes.

“I’ll do what I said.”

Cassie was so confident that it made Mrs. James wonder if she had misheard.

“Okay, I’ll give you a month. If you can’t cure it, then I’ll do as you say.”

Mrs. James shot her a threatening look.
