Chapter 663 Long Time No See
Days passed in a slow, monotonous rhythm. Sadie had been in Chiang Mai for nine days now. In the silver box that she carried with her, only a single bottle of antidote remained. Over the past few days, she had managed to avoid any further episodes, a small mercy that she clung to. The final bottle of antidote promised her a chance at a poison-free existence, a prospect she was looking forward to with the dawn of the next day.In the early morning light, Brenda was busy in the yard, hanging clothes to dry. She carefully brought in Sadie's custom-made wedding dress, a garment that had been difficult to dry due to the recent persistent rains. The weighty fabric of the dress had absorbed the moisture, making it particularly challenging. Brenda had spent the entire day washing it, employing various methods to remove the stubborn blood stains. After hanging for nine days, the dress was finally ready to be taken inside.Locating a large clothes hanger, Brenda hung the wedding dress on the wall and began to iron it, bit by bit, with a steam iron. Sadie, watching her, offered to take over the task. "Let me do it," she said, taking the iron and meticulously smoothing out the wrinkles on the dress.In an ideal world, this million-dollar wedding dress wouldn't be subjected to such treatment. It should have been dry-cleaned and professionally ironed. However, the limitations of their small town and Brenda's fear of damaging the dress at a dry cleaner's had left them with no other option. After over an hour of careful ironing. Sadie finally finished. She stepped back, looking up at the dress. The gentle breeze made the veil sway lightly. It looked much the same as before, yet something was different. The diamonds scattered on the dress shimmered in the sunlight, but without a bride to wear it, the dress seemed like a fallen angel, stripped of its radiance. It was a sentiment reflected in Sadie's eyes.She lowered her gaze, looking at the wedding ring in her hand, a wave of misery washing over her. Brenda, noticing her distress, tried to reassure her. "Miss, don't overthink. At least your illness is improving. After you finish the last bottle of medicine tomorrow, all the poison will be eliminated from your body. That's a blessing.""Yes," Sadie managed a smile, "I can live on." But she couldn't help but wonder, trapped here, stripped of everything, was there any difference between her current state and death?"As long as we are alive, there is hope for everything," Brenda encouraged her, "Mr. Clemens will definitely come to rescue us."Sadie stared blankly at the wedding dress, her emotions a whirlwind. Each day brought with it two distinct moods. In the morning, she would wake up filled with hope, believing that Micah wouldn't abandon her. But as night fell, she would feel disillusioned, resenting his apparent heartlessness. Now, she was unsure of what to believe."I'm going to cook; you rest for a bit," Brenda said, disappearing into the kitchen. Left alone, Sadie stared at the wedding dress, lost in thought. After a while, she changed out of the dress and into something else. Looking at herself in the full-length mirror, she was a far cry from the beautiful, noble bride she had been on her wedding day. Now, she looked worn out and exhausted. In just ten short days, she had lost a significant amount of weight, and the wedding dress hung loosely on her."Oh my god, it was sunny just now. How did it start raining again?" Brenda's voice broke through her thoughts. She rushed out of the kitchen to collect the clothes from the yard, only to spot several black cars approaching. It was unmistakably the Clemens family's motorcade.Brenda, assuming that the Clemens family had come to pick them up, was overjoyed. "Miss, Miss, come out quickly, the Clemens family's here..." she called out excitedly. At the sound of Brenda's voice, Sadie ran outside barefoot, not even pausing to put on her shoes. "Miss, look, is that the Clemens family's motorcade?" Brenda pointed at the cars outside the yard, "It looks like it!""Yes, it's them." Sadie confirmed, clutching her wedding dress as she hurried over to the gate. But as she pushed it open, she was met with an unfamiliar face."Sadie, long time no see!" Amelia stepped out of the car, a sinister smirk on her face, "You didn't see this coming, did you? I've got you now."
