The concept of equality between men and women was something that people in later generations were used to, but it was an extravagant hope in this era.
The status of women who did not even have the right to vote could be imagined.
In this kind of society, even the proud and arrogant young lady would collapse under the pressure.
In the end, she was like an abandoned pet, trembling and sobbing in the man's arms.
"I'm sorry."
After a long time, the young girl finally calmed down after venting her emotions and said in a low voice.
"It's alright."
Su Xiu smiled and gently stroked the girl's golden hair." This is what I should do. As a doctor, I should take care of the patient's emotions.”
"Oh ~"
The girl's voice was very soft, and her originally fair face was flushed red.
Some of it was because of her previous extreme emotions, while others were because the girl had regained the upper hand in her sense of shame.
She had actually lost her composure and thrown herself into the arms of a man she had only known for a few days, pouring out all her grievances to him.
Ahhhh! He really wanted to die!
The shame and anger in her heart made the extremely arrogant girl want to cry.
Why did he do such an unwise thing? What kind of evil was he possessed by?
"Are you feeling better now?"
Su Xiu saw the girl's shame and considerately changed the topic.
"Yes."
Cecilia replied in a low voice.
After venting all the grievances and grievances that she had been suppressing in her heart, her mood had indeed improved a lot.
Although the shame she felt after this made her want to find a hole to hide in, at least she did not have to bear it alone.
"Congratulations, Miss Cecilia.”
Su Xiu smiled slightly. His gentle voice made the girl feel as if she was looking at the great Heavenly Father." Your treatment is progressing very smoothly. As I said before, opening your heart to others is the first and most important step.”
"Miss Cecilia, you have already taken the most important step. This means that the following treatment will come naturally. Perhaps it won't take a year, but only half a year for you to fully recover.”
"Thank you."
Cecilia's sapphire blue eyes were watery. She looked at the man in front of her gratefully.
"Master."
At this moment, Leah handed him a clean white shirt.
"Thank you, Leah."
Su Xiu was slightly stunned. He stood up and took the shirt. At the same time, he said," Leah, help me take care of Miss Cecilia. I'll go change my clothes. Alina, come over here too."
"Yes, Master."
Alina smiled faintly, looking very obedient.
"Oh ~"
Cecilia blushed and lowered her head in shame.
Only then did she notice that Su Xiu's clothes were completely wet from her tears.
It looked like he was walking around London on a rainy day.
"Excuse me, Miss Cecilia.”
Su Xiu still had a smile on his face as he left the living room politely.
Although he could strike while the iron was hot and continue to break through the girl's defenses.
However, there was no need for that.
Now, Cecilia's defenses were useless in front of Su Xiu.
Perhaps her defense was still strong, but just like the impregnable Maginot Line…
Su Xiu might not be able to break it, but he could completely bypass it.
Therefore, the best thing to do now wasn't to chase after the victory. Instead, he had to slightly increase the distance between the two sides and give Cecilia enough time to calm down.
Only when she calmed down completely would the following conversation be meaningful.
"Miss Leah."
Cecilia didn't want to make a fool of herself, so she changed the topic stiffly." You have a good relationship with Mr. Su.”
"Eh? Why do you say that?"
The girl with the same dazzling blonde hair, but her hair was tied into a ponytail, tilted her head in confusion.
"Mr. Smith just thanked you.”
Cecilia's eyes flashed with a trace of envy.
She had done a lot, but no one in the family had ever thanked her.
As for Leah, she was only doing her job as a maid.
He simply handed her a shirt.
"Miss Cecilia."
Facing Cecilia's envy, Leah's expression was a little gloomy. She said in a low voice," Do you really think this is a good thing?”
"Eh?"
Cecilia was stunned.
She was clearly a maid, but she could still gain the respect of Su Xiu, the master.
This was something that women in this era pursued for their entire lives.
Just like how Cecilia tried her best to gain the recognition of the men in her family.
What they dreamed of was within Leah's grasp.
Wasn't this a good thing?
"Because…"
Leah pursed her lips and answered Cecilia's question in a disappointed tone." Master never thanks Alina because he really sees Alina as family. As for me…"
The girl's eyes carried a trace of unwillingness and loneliness.
She had clearly been working very hard.
"Yeah, aren't I the same?”
Cecilia was stunned, but she soon came back to her senses. Her eyes were complicated.
She also had two maids.
And unlike the rest of the family, she also regarded them as family.
Compared to the men in the family who looked down on her, these two maids were the ones who stood behind her and could give her a trace of comfort.
Perhaps she only saw them as family, or perhaps she was just willful enough to get some self-righteous comfort from them, or perhaps everything was fake.
However, a fake family was still a family.
Because they were family, she would not thank them.
Su Xiu was also like this.
That was why he never thanked Alina, but he thanked Leah for a small favor.
This was simply…
"What a gentleman."
Cecilia murmured.
She remembered Su Xiu's self-proclaimed name when they first met.
He was a gentleman.
At that time, she was still very naive. She used her arrogant protective color to disguise herself and make herself look like a hedgehog.
While rejecting contact from others, he also protected his weak self.
Therefore, she scoffed at Su Xiu's self-proclaimed gentleman.
But now, she truly realized that Su Xiu was indeed a true gentleman.
A gentleman who could treat any woman equally.
Perhaps, she was the only gentleman in this world.
"I'm sorry."
Suddenly, Cecilia felt ashamed.
How could she doubt such a gentleman?
