"What?" Minerva thought she misheard him.
Beside him, Sabrina added, "He’s asking what do you want to major in college so that we can enroll you in a suitable school."
Sabrina knew her husband best. He was a slave to his daughter's wants and needs.
Sebastian could tell his daughter liked this older, flatnosed girl. She was wild and rebellious, but as a whole, she had a righteous soul. She would grow up to be a valuable talent if she could receive a better education.
Most importantly, she would have a friend, and Sebastian considered this too. By bringing Minerva to South City, he was effectively holding her hostage. By then, if Harry Payne and his wife wanted to overthrow him and come up with another devious plan, they could no longer do so.
Minerva cried tears of gratitude, "I...I...Master...Master Sebastian, you...Are you really willing to support my studies in South City? South City is full of good colleges, with as many universities as some of the most advanced cities in the world. It's my dream to study in South City, I...I want to major in medicine."
Becoming a doctor was her lifelong dream. She wanted to treat patients and save lives. However, she
never told anyone of this dream of hers because no one would believe that a rebellious little punk like her would have such a meaningful dream. She informed the world of her dream only at that moment.
Besides, there was a side to her that nobody knew. To successfully obtain this valuable chance, she hurriedly explained herself to Sebastian, "Master Sebastian, actually I'm more than a rebellious little punk. Every Sunday, when there were no classes, I would shadow my father’s private doctor and learn the trade tricks from him. I have a lot of nursing knowledge. I really hope I can become a doctor in the future. I want to study in the best medical school in South City, can I?"
As the words left her mouth, she laughed self-deprecatingly.
A captive.
How could she make such a difficult request?
"If that's true, then it's perfect. Coincidentally, there's a patient I have to bring home with me. On the return journey, you'll be in charge of caring for him," Sebastian said.
Minerva said, "Real...really?”
