Mistaken Match: Marrying the Enigmatic CEO by Ruby Fennimore

Chapter 517
Sarah quickly grabbed the teenage girl’s hand to stop her. Her heart twinged
with pain as she took in the girl’s foolish grin and unusual behavior.
As a highly–educated woman, she had enough knowledge to discern that
the teenage girl seemed to have turned into this state after suffering some
kind of trauma.
“Don’t! Don’t take my cabbage!”
As Sarah was holding the teenage girl’s wrist, the teenage girl thought Sarah
wanted to take her cabbage away, so she immediately struggled and
backed away.

At last, Sarah realized that the item the girl was fiercely protective of was
nothing more than a head of cabbage. This time, her heart squeezed even
more painfully.
She’s so pitiful! So many young girls out there are so picky with their food.
They don’t even want to eat their vegetables, but for this girl, a head of
cabbage is something she has to defend with her life.
“Where do you live? I’ll take you home!”
Sarah decided to make sure the girl got home safely.
However, the girl simply gave her a glassy–eyed stare and a silly grin. “My

home? My home’s not here. Hehe... My home is far away in the mountains
somewhere!”
“Miss Sarah, I think she’s a little mentally challenged,” Suri came over and
commented.
Sarah sighed and took out some tissue to wipe the dried blood off the
teenage girl.
Then, she took out a comb to tackle the girl’s unkempt hair.
Her gentleness finally made the teenage girl relax. The latter even began to
like her.
Sarah smiled and asked, “You’re hungry, right? I’ll give you something to eat,
okay?”
She had Suri take out some chocolates and buns from their bag and hand it
over to the teenage girl.
“Oh! It’s yummy! So yummy...” The girl squealed with excitement as she ate
everything.
She had the innocent excitement of a child.
“Can you show me where you stay?”
Sarah was determined to take the girl home. It felt too dangerous to let the
girl go home alone.
However, Suri couldn’t help but remind Sarah, “Miss Sarah, didn’t you come

here to look for something? Let’s not waste any more time. The sooner we
find it, the sooner we can head back. I’m worried that it won’t be safe here if
we stay too long!”
Who knew what kind of dangers were lurking in the depths of a remote place
like Eastern Star Mountain?
However, Sarah’s mind was made up. “We can’t just abandon her now. If we
take her home, we can also ask for directions!”
Suri had no choice but to nod and do as Sarah said.
Although the teenage girl was mentally challenged, she did know her way
home.
Soon, they arrived at the entrance to a village. There was a signboard that
said ‘West Shelter Village‘.
The village looked like a mess with rubbish piled all over the place. The
unbearable stench clung in the air.
Sarah felt her stomach churning. She could barely stand the smell.
After going down a few narrow lanes and making several turns, they finally
arrived at the teenage girl’s house.
It was a dilapidated hut made of mud bricks.
Though it could not be compared to the houses in the city, it wasn’t the
!

shabbiest of houses in these sorts of impoverished villages.
“Amy? Is that you?”
Upon hearing the noises outside, someone inside the hut let out a weak
croak.
Sarah followed Amy into the house and saw a sickly–looking middle–aged
woman who was lying on a damp blanket with her eyes half–closed. She
looked severely ill.
This is hell on earth!
The two women’s destitute state made Sarah’s heart ache with pain.
“Who... are you?”
The sickly woman was shocked to see Sarah.
Why would an
angel show up at our shabby little house?
