Goodbye, Saintess. Novel

Chapter 447 Before leaving , Metis turned to me . " Make sure those volunteers who took the trial medicine come to my clinic . I'll detox them myself . " And about earlier ... Don't overthink it . I was just ... too hot , that's all . That's why I did something so impulsive and ridiculous . " As for the dividends , keep them . I'm a doctor , not a merchant . I don't do this for money . ' With that , she left without another glance . From behind , she looked composed , yet her hurried , uneven steps betrayed a trace of panic beneath the surface .

After she was gone , Claire shot me a reproachful look . Whatever energy she'd had earlier was gone . " Sebastian , Astrid came to interview you . I only came to bring you lunch , " she said softly . " Also , my mom and I are going on a trip soon . The house will be empty for a while . " I laughed . " You really treat me like a kid , huh ? No one's home , and you think I can't manage living alone ? " " No ! " To my surprise , she refused flatly , cheeks puffed as she glared at me.

" Exactly because you're not a kid anymore , I've decided Astrid will move in for a while to help me look after the house . " Her tone sharpened . " While I'm gone , you are not allowed to bring any women home . If Astrid tells me otherwise , I swear I won't forgive you ! " That caught both Sebastian and Astrid off guard . " Me ? With him ? " she stammered , pointing at herself in disbelief . " Yes , you , " Claire said . She grabbed Astrid by the arm and pulled her aside . Her voice dropped , half - worried , half - serious . " Astrid , I'm counting on you .

Please keep an eye on Sebastian for me . " You saw it today yourself . I wasn't exaggerating . He's way too popular . Did you see the way Dr. Fey looked at him ? She practically wanted to eat him alive ! " And that ex - wife of his still hasn't moved on either . You have to watch him for me . Only then can I relax . " Before Astrid could answer , Claire shoved the house keys into her hand . " Well , alright , " Astrid murmured at last , looking down at the keys with a mix of resignation and helplessness .

She had tried to stay away from Sebastian , yet the universe seemed determined to push them closer together . Claire's stunning face lit up as she smiled in relief . " Thanks , Astrid! You're the best ! " 1/2 " Seriously ? Dot look like that kind of guy to you ! " i protested , " When her ever to wor But since Claire was technically my bandlady , I couldn't anyw " Not outside either ! " she snapped . " A real man keeps his hands and his heart to time !

H With that , she huffed , glared at me one last time , and stomped out of the office , The room fell quiet , leaving only Astrid and me standing , wdwardly across from each other " So , uh , Ms. Langley , " I said , breaking the tension . " You still want to look mod ? " " Of course , " she muttered , crossing her arms , " It's an assignment from my superiors , Otherwise , 1 wodor's even bother , " Astrid turned sharply on her heel and strode out , muttering , " Men , Ugh , they're all the same . The richer they get , the worse they become . Always flirting , always surrounded by admirers .

Who knows how many fangirls he's got at the university ? This damn man . What's so charming about him anyway ? " Her grumbling trailed off down the hallway , growing fainter with distance , Sebastian followed behind , half confused , half amused , " What on earth is she mumbling about ? " He sighed , " She's not secretly cursing me , is she ? " Little did Sebastian know that while he was busy showing Astrid around , someone far away in Enbarr had already set their sights on him .
