Posted on December 26, 2023 by admin

Filed To Story: A Sacrificial Lambs Unexpected Marriage

“Dean Sebastian, are you saying that old Mrs. Robert and grandma Armstead are good friends?” Oriana asked interestedly.

“Yes, Mrs. Robert and Deacon’s grandmother are good friends. And Marvin and president Armstead are brothers. We are all family. Hope you’ll participate in the surgery?”

Dean Sebastian was trying to bring Oriana and Marvin together.

Oriana pursed her lips and responded,

“Dean Sebastian, I’m a doctor. Of course, I’ll participate. Besides, Mrs. Robert is a nice woman. I’ll do all I can to save her.”

“That’s really great. The operation can’t be delayed any further. We need to work out the operation plan as soon as possible. I have great confidence in you two!” Dean Sebastian. declared.

Marvin turned to looked at Oriana, then he muttered calmly,

“I’ll go ahead. Call me if you need anything.”

Marvin’s figure quickly disappeared from their sight.

“Oriana, what’s the relationship between you and Marvin?” Dean Sebastian suddenly questioned.

“I don’t understand, sir.” Oriana blinked her lashes in confusion.

“Oriana, Marvin and I have known each other for a very long time. He is a cold and arrogant genius. Alot of girls like him and are ready to give their all to him. But Marvin hasn’t spared any girl a glance. I know he’s still an innocent boy. You know what I mean, Oriana. He has never been held hands with a girl.” The dean explained.

Oriana stared speechlessly at the dean in surprise.

“Was the dean really gossiping?” Oriana pondered within.

“I think that Marvin likes you very much. His eyes were conveying his emotions towards you. Don’t pay attention to those reporters, my tutor used to tell us that we should just live our life, and have fun. Oriana, if you like Marvin too, you can go ahead and divorce president Armstead.”

From the bottom of Oriana’s heart, she didn’t want to believe that dean Sebastian was such a person. His tútor might have ruined him.

“Dean, your master, was she a woman?” Oriana inquired.

When he heard Oriana’s question, a smile appeared on dean Sebastian’s face.

“Yes, my tutor was a woman, and she is also the founder of this institute!”

What?

When aunt Rebecca was awake, she had told her that the founder of the Ivory Council was her mother. That only meant that dean Sebastian’s tutor was her mother.

“Dean Sebastian, it sounds like your teacher is a very special woman.”

“Of course, my tutor is the most beautiful woman that I’ve seen in my life. Her medical skills were amazing. Master had picked me out of many, and had thought me some acupuncture methods. Master also gave me the Ivory Council.” Dean Sebastian suddenly stopped, he looked at Oriana and asked,

“Why are you asking alot of questions concerning my master? Are you interested in knowing her more?”

Oriana nodded vigorously.

“Yes, dean, please tell me more.”

“Okay, first you must submit yourself to me as my student. When I become your master, I will tell you the story of my master.”

Oriana probably knew why her mother chose dean Sebastian as her apprentice. Dean. Sebastian was a true healer. His temperament was simple, free and easygoing, which were the needed attributes of a doctor.

“Dean, did your master once leave something behind in this Ivory Council?”

olive…

precise with her questions. She had been awaiting the dean’s return, because aunt Rebecca had told her that her mother had left something for her.

Dean Sebastian’s expression changed.

“Oriana, how did you know about this?”

“Someone told me, dean. Can you please give me what your master left?”

Dean Sebastian pondered for a moment.

“My master had said that some time in the future, someone will come to pick up the box. Although I don’t know how you got to know about it, just come with me.”

So easy?

Oriana really didn’t expect that she would get the box that her mother left behind so easily.

The Dean’s Office.

Dean Sebastian opened the safe and took out a box.

“Oriana, this is the box that my master left in the research institute, but the box has a lock. If you can open the lock, I’ll let you take the box away. If you can’t, I’m sorry, but I’ll have to take it back.”

Oriana knew that she wouldn’t get the box that easily. But aunt Rebecca didn’t tell her about any lock.

Oriana looked at the lock on the box. Her eyes widened. It was not an ordinary lock. The lock was directly embedded in the box. There were complicated mechanical bearings inside.

Oriana studied it for a while, then she took out the silver needle which she carried with her. She pushed the silver needle into the keyhole.

Dean Sebastian nodded approvingly.

“Yes, the box is opened with a silver needle. It can only be opened with needle techniques. My master was like a goddess, and the things that she left behind are precious treasures, but whether you can take it or not depends fully on your ability.”

Oriana held her breath. When she inserted the first needle, she could already feel the switch inside her fingertips.

Dean Sebastian applauded,

“As expected of my favorite apprentice.”

Oriana picked up the second needle, and soon the second level opened with another click.

“Beautiful!” Dean Sebastian’s eyes lit up.

Oriana was already sweating profusely. With a click, the third level opened.

Dean Sebastian nodded and gave her a thumbs up.

“Awesome!”

Oriana was shaking as she sought to open the fourth level. She suddenly slumped on the chair and forcibly waved her hand.

“I can’t do it anymore. I definitely won’t be able to pass the next level. I give up.”

Dean Sebastian grabbed the treasure and put it back into the safe. He smiled and said,

“Oriana, you’re really amazing. You just unlocked three levels at once. You can try again next time!”

Oriana had lost her mother when she was nine years old. She did not have the opportunity to study medicine with her, neither did she have the opportunity to chitchat with her. This was the first time she had come in contact with her belongings after eleven years.

Her mother’s medical skills were like the treasure box, mysterious and profound. Oriana’s current level could barely compete with her mother’s weakest level.

Oriana’s clear eyes shone with a firm and dazzling light.

“I’ll be back again!”

Dean Sebastian focused his gaze on Oriana. He did not only like her because of her medical skills, but also because of her tenacity and courage.

Oriana stood up and said to the dean,

“Dean, thank you for coming to help me. And also, Marvin and I are just friends. My husband wouldn’t take it kindly if he hears about such. And I’m also afraid that I wouldn’t be able to help you.”

Dean Sebastian let a scoff and lowered his head.

“Dean, I’ll go ahead. Thank you.” Oriana bowed her head slightly and headed to the door.

Dean Sebastian muttered from behind her,

“Oriana, please keep your phone on. We still have to plan about the operation. And, don’t worry yourself about the issues in the institute, okay?”
