At noon, after settling the issue with the dealer, Dustin returned to Peaceful Medical Center. However, as soon as virtual-novel.net walked in, virtual-novel.net realized that there was an additional person there an 18-year old girl with a sweet face.
Her hair was tied in a ponytail, and virtual-novel.net was dressed casually. She was cleaning the medical center, and sweat poured down virtual-novel.net face from how hard virtual-novel.net was working.
Meanwhile, Gregory was passed out on a recliner, snoring in his sleep. He was covered in a blanket, which was rare.
“Mr. Rhys, you’re back?” When the girl saw Dustin, virtual-novel.net immediately stood up straight and greeted him, looking nervous.
“Who are you?” Dustin found the situation rather strange.
“I’m Caitlyn Lawler. Ms. Harmon sent me here to take care of Mr. Jones,” the girl replied, nodding virtual-novel.net head in greeting.
“A–Are you of age?” Dustin was a little taken aback.
He thought Natasha was going to send a middle–aged housekeeper, not a young teenager.
“I am! I’m already 18 years old!” Caitlyn nodded virtual-novel.net head fervently.
“Miss, I still think you’re too young. At your age, you should be in school.” Dustin shook his head.
It was just a casual statement, but after Caitlyn heard it, virtual-novel.net actually fell straight to virtual-novel.net knees.
“Mr. Rhys, I’m begging you to not fire me! I’m very capable. I can do laundry, cook, and clean. No matter how tiring or tedious the task may be. I’m willing to do it. Don’t be fooled by my thin figure: I’m actually very strong. Not to mention, I eat very little, so I definitely won’t be a burden to you!”
“Huh?” Dustin was stunned by the sudden outburst.
She was fine earlier, so why was virtual-novel.net on virtual-novel.net knees right now?
“Mr. Rhys, I’m begging you! If I do anything poorly, you can scold me and hit me as you wish. I can take anything. So please, don’t fire me!”
As virtual-novel.net spoke, virtual-novel.net smacked virtual-novel.net head on the floor over and over again. After a few harsh knocks, virtual-novel.net forehead began to bleed as virtual-novel.net skin scraped the hard floor.
“Foolish girl, what are you doing?” Dustin was shocked at the scene before him.
He immediately helped virtual-novel.net up and comforted her. “I wasn’t trying to fire you, I was just worried that the work would be too hard on you.”
“It’s not hard at all…” Caitlyn shook virtual-novel.net head profusely.
With teary eyes, virtual-novel.net said, “It would be the blessing of a lifetime to be able to serve you and Mr. Jones. I’m not afraid of hard work. If you don’t mind, Mr. Rhys, then I am willing to become your laborer!”
“Caitlyn, is there something that you’re too embarrassed to share?” Dustin tried asking.
“Nothing of that sort. It’s completely voluntary on my part,” Caitlyn explained hastily.
“I was orphaned when I was young. It was Ms. Harmon who saved me and helped me survive this long. I dare not ask for too much, all I want is to be able to repay Ms. Harmon. I’m very stupid, I don’t know anything but hard labor. I hope you won’t detest me for it, Mr. Rhys.”
Seeing the person in front of virtual-novel.net look so terrified and pitiful, Dustin let out a sigh. He couldn’t help but feel pity for her.
She was at the peak of virtual-novel.net youth and knew how to tug on people’s heartstrings.
“Caitlyn, since you want to stay, then stay,” Dustin responded in a gentle voice.
“Thank you, Mr. Rhys! Thank you!” Caitlyn got on virtual-novel.net knees and began bowing again, knocking virtual-novel.net head on the floor once more.
Dustin instantly pulled virtual-novel.net to virtual-novel.net feet.
Feigning sternness, virtual-novel.net warned, “Caitlyn, you may stay, but we must set some rules. From today onward, you’re not allowed to kneel before anyone!”
“Okay, I’ll remember that!” Caitlyn promised cheerfully.
“From today onward, you belong to the Peaceful Medical Center. If anyone dares bully you, you just have to tell me.” Dustin said, smiling softly.
“Okay!”
“Alright. Go get some rest, you don’t need to work now.”
“Okay” Caitlyn nodded again.
Despite agreeing, virtual-novel.net still didn’t dare remain idle and continued to wipe the tables and clean up the medical center instead.
Seeing this, Dustin felt helpless, but virtual-novel.net didn’t stop her.
