Chapter 172: Chapter 172

"So you’re saying it just really hates me, which is why it scratched me?"

Seeing the look of grievance deepening on Crystal Joyce’s face, Niall Everett realized he had misspoken, wishing he could slap himself for the nonsense he just spewed!!!

"I didn’t mean that!" Niall quickly denied it, afraid that the next second Crystal would burst into tears, "It’s just unfamiliar with you right now. Once it gets to know you, it’ll like you. Before, it wouldn’t let me approach it either, but later I made time every day to feed them, and they warmed up to me. Look, it’s so well-behaved in my arms now!"

Saying this, Niall reached out and scratched the little ginger cat’s ear again, and the cat merely snuggled against his palm, meowing a few times, being very docile.

Crystal Joyce’s face finally showed a smile, "It’s so cute!"

Seeing her finally smile, not crying, Niall Everett breathed a sigh of relief, "Let’s take care of your hand injury first!"

Niall worked quickly, bandaging her wound in just a few moves.

Crystal Joyce’s clean, clear eyes curved, "Thank you!"

Seeing the girl’s smile, Niall’s heart skipped a beat.

This girl is quite cute...

By the time he came to his senses, Crystal Joyce had already left, the little ginger cat in his arms kept meowing incessantly, and Niall reached out to touch its little head, smiling as he spoke.

"What’s the matter? Do you also think she’s pretty cute?"

Silas had been waiting outside for Crystal Joyce, growing worried when she didn’t come out for a long time. Just as he was about to go looking for her, Crystal emerged.

"Miss Crystal, you’re finally back!"

Silas hurriedly welcomed her, but when he saw her hand with a fresh bandage, his expression changed instantly.

"Miss Crystal, what happened to your hand?"

Crystal Joyce looked down at the wound on her hand, "I’m fine, just accidentally got scratched by a little cat earlier. It’s already been taken care of, Silas, don’t worry."

Upon hearing this, Silas’s eyes deepened instantly but he said nothing further.

A black car came to a steady stop at the entrance of Imperia University, and Principal Reed personally came to welcome the guest.

"Master Vaughn, you’ve finally arrived. Thanks to your safe journey, let me take you to rest first!"

A small, eccentric old man jumped out of the car, impatiently interrupting Principal Reed.

"Don’t give me any of that nonsense, just take me to see Serena. Don’t forget I agreed to come to Imperia because you said Serena is here!"

"Of course!" Principal Reed replied with a smile, "Serena is studying with us at Imperia, Master Vaughn, you’ll be able to see her soon!"

If it weren’t for Serena’s name, he really wouldn’t have been able to invite The Wanderer, this living legend.

"I won’t wait for later!" Young Wanderer Vane refused decisively, "I want to see Serena now!"

Having finally found her again, this time, he was determined to catch her and have her inherit his mantle!

Can’t let the little girl escape again!

"Alright, alright!" Principal Reed found himself with no choice but to agree, "Master Vaughn, I’ll take you to find Serena right now!"

The Wanderer nodded in satisfaction, "That’s more like it! Let’s go!"

Principal Reed led The Wanderer towards the medical department, not forgetting to introduce Imperia University along the way.

This scene tantalized many students, curious about who this person was to warrant Principal Reed’s personal company, and immediately snapped photos to post on the forum.

Upon investigation, The Wanderer’s identity was revealed, instantly causing a sensation on the forum.

The students from the medical department were even more thrilled, almost jumping with excitement.

"Master Vaughn has arrived at Imperia, and Principal Reed is personally accompanying him on a tour of Imperia!"

"Yes, yes, and judging by their direction, they’ll reach our medical department soon. We’ll be seeing Master Vaughn any moment now, I’m already excited!"

"Me too, me too, meeting someone of Master Vaughn’s stature in the medical world is such an honor for us!!!"

Contrary to everyone’s excitement, Serena Everett felt a headache, her pale fingertips begrudgingly pinching her brow.

Oh no, how did that little old man get here so quickly?

The little old man is so persistent, she really doesn’t want to get entangled.

Thinking of this, Serena immediately stood up, "Professor Langley, I need to go home for something, I’m taking a leave!"

Before Professor Langley could respond, Serena had already left the classroom, taking quick strides with her long, straight legs.

Professor Langley was dumbfounded; he had deliberately swapped a class with another teacher, switching to the afternoon when it’s easier not to be drowsy, just so Serena would stay awake and listen to his lecture.

But unexpectedly, before he could even start, Serena left?!

Professor Langley’s gaze instantly turned melancholic again, and he sighed quietly, feeling disheartened.

He understood! Serena simply doesn’t like him, has something against him, sob!

The more Professor Langley thought about it, the sadder he became, silently grumbling that this time Serena must placate him with two precious out-of-print medical books!!!

As Damian Quinn reached the door to the ward, he heard Old Mrs. Quinn having an animated conversation on the phone with a friend inside.

"Oh sister, don’t listen to those people outside spreading nonsense. I haven’t agreed to Damian and the Everett Family breaking off the engagement, I told him I did just to deceive him. There’s no way I’m agreeing to Damian breaking off the engagement with the Everett Family..."

"Yes, yes, exactly, I only said I’d agree to break off the engagement just to deceive Damian. How could I possibly consent to Damian breaking off the engagement with the Everett Family? Don’t believe the outside rumors. You should come to Damian’s wedding later!" Newest update provıded by novel{f}ire.net

Damian Quinn, standing outside the ward, heard everything clearly, and his handsome but devilish face instantly darkened, radiating a fearsome hostility.

His grandmother had been deceiving him all along... She never intended to let him break off the engagement with the Everett Family; back then, agreeing to it was just a stalling tactic!

He actually believed it too...

Damian Quinn’s terrifying expression reached its peak, even Chase Sherman, who had followed him for years, was terrified into silence, muttering inwardly that things were bad.

Oh no, the old lady knew perfectly well that Master Damian’s heart was only for Miss Serena!

Master Damian, for the sake of Miss Serena, even willingly played second fiddle to love, successfully stealing from Ian Everett’s side and coaxing Miss Serena into agreeing to give him a status!

Yet Old Mrs. Quinn’s promise to break off the engagement was all to deceive Master Damian; how could Master Damian not be angry?!

Damian Quinn’s expression was as cold as could be, his voice chillingly icy.

"Right now, go to the Everett Family immediately to call off the engagement."

Since his grandmother deceived him so, he wouldn’t wait for her to be discharged before calling it off.

Looking at Damian Quinn’s terrifying demeanor, Chase Sherman dared not delay, quickly responding respectfully, "Yes, Master Damian."

Hahaha, here comes the disengagement you all were waiting for!
