Chapter 323: A Rose 328

Hearing Sean’s words, Victoria asked, “Do you mean it hates me, and that’s why it scratched me?”

Seeing how Victoria somehow became even sadder, Sean realized he had said the wrong thing. He wanted to slap himself over the dumb statement that he just made.

“That’s not what I meant!” Sean denied profusely. He was afraid that Victoria might start crying in front of him.

“It’s just not familiar with you yet. When it is, it’ll come to like you. It used to avoid getting close to me as well. But after I fed it every day, it started to approach me on its own. Look, it’s so well–

behaved in my arms now.”

Sean lightly scratched the orange cat behind its ear. The little creature then rubbed its head against his hand and purred cutely.

Finally, Victoria flashed a smile. She exclaimed, “It’s so adorable!”

Sean sighed in relief when he saw that Victoria smiled. “Let’s get your wound treated,” he suddenly announced.

Sean quickly retrieved a first aid kit and bandaged Victoria’s wound.

Victoria smiled happily and said, “Thank you!”

Seeing her beaming face, Sean’s heart seemed to skip a beat. He started to think that Victoria was quite adorable herself, finding himself in somewhat of a daze.

When Sean snapped back to his senses, Victoria had already left. The orange cat continued to meow, and Sean rubbed its head affectionately.

Sean asked the docile cat, “What? Do you think she’s cute too?”

Lionel had been waiting for Victoria, but he started to worry when she didn’t return after a long time.

Just as he was about to go look for her, Victoria finally returned.

“You’re back, Ms. Olson!” Lionel welcomed her immediately. But when Lionel saw the bandage on Victoria’s hand, his expression changed.

“What happened to your hand, Ms. Olson?”

Victoria looked at the bandage and said, “I’m fine. I accidentally got scratched by a cat just now. I got it treated already, so you don’t have to worry, Lionel.”

Hearing that, Lionel became thoughtful, but no words left his mouth.

A black car rolled to a stop outside Jubilife University, and Matt had come to welcome the guest himself.

“You’re finally here, Dr. Marx! It’s been a long journey for you. Let me bring you to the lounge.”

An old man who was dressed oddly exited the car. He interrupted Matt impatiently, “Enough of these formalities! Hurry and bring me to Yvie. Remember, I promised to visit Jubilife University because you said Yvie was here!”

“Of course,” Matt said. “Yvie is attending Jubilife University. You’ll be able to meet her later, Dr.

Marx.”

If it weren’t done in the name of Yvette, Matt wouldn’t have been able to invite Eustace Marx to their university.

“I don’t want to meet her later!” Eustace retorted immediately. “I want to see Yvie now!”

Eustace went through a lot of trouble to find Yvette. He was determined to force her into becoming his successor. He couldn’t afford to let Yvette escape again!

“Alright, Dr. Marx.” Matt had no choice but to comply. “I’ll bring you to Yvie now.”

Eustace nodded and said, “That’s more like it. Let’s go!”

Matt introduced the campus facilities to Eustace as he led the way to the medical school. It attracted a lot of attention from the students; everyone wondered who the chancellor was bringing around himself.

Somebody even took pictures and posted them on the university forum.
