In the end, Eden decided not to drink beer.She knew her own body. She wasn't supposed to have anything cold.However, she had always been quite lazy and cared little about her health. A little pain was nothing to her. She had experienced more pain than this.But seeing that someone wanted to take care of her… It felt quite wonderful.While they were halfway through their meal, Eden noticed that Horace hadn't even said a word. She was quite surprised.She raised an eyebrow and asked Alain, "What's with him?"Alain put some stew on her plate and said, "He's gone crazy."Eden nodded. "I think so, too."Caelus rolled his eyes. These two…The meal ended in silence.When Caelus was paying the bill, Eden noticed something and looked at Alain. "I thought I was supposed to see a patient?"She had never asked about it because she thought Alain would arrange everything before informing her.But it had been a week, and he hadn't said anything about it, so Eden chose to ask him instead
"Why don't you think about being my girlfriend?" Alain asked Eden with a faint smile.Eden got engaged with him because she was investigating Jerred's death.But now that everything had been made clear, their relationship had also changed. Now, all she wanted was to leave.Making her stay was going to be a difficult task indeed.Eden had a hand on her chin and looked at him with lazy eyes. "I can think about it."He treated her quite well, just like her grandma. He would spoil her without any reservations and support her in everything she wanted to do.Most importantly, he did look quite handsome!And she had a preference for handsome faces!Alain didn't expect that she would agree to it without reservation and was stunned. "You'll really think about it?""I'll observe for a while for now," Eden said slowly.Alain was speechless.He must have had a lapse of judgment for asking that."Maybe you can skip the observation? I should pass your test for becoming your boyfriend, an
Thanks to Eden's imposing presence, all the students from Class 3-18 had made significant progress with their revisions.Even the teachers were shocked.In just a few days, some teachers had already noticed that the students from Class 3-18 had greatly improved. And it wasn't just individual progress; the entire class was improving together.When Grant saw his students starting to focus on their studies, he was very happy.Eden was also very busy. She had to teach each student subject by subject and worked well into the weekend.Saturday afternoon, during the class's self-study session, Eden walked to the podium and knocked on it, telling all the students to be quiet.All the students from Class 3-18 were truly impressed by her, and no one ignored her anymore. Instantly, the classroom was quiet."We'll rest tonight and attend Leo's concert together," she announced.The class cheered."Long live the chief!""I thought you'd forgotten about the concert, chief! That's great! I w
Eden put her mobile away and looked at Alain, tilting her head with a faint smile on her rosy lips. "Now that I’ve given it another look, you're better looking than him."She wasn't that interested in the concert.However, she had to go to the concert today. She had something she needed to do."Let's go, then," Alain said, raising an eyebrow, joy apparent in his eyes.He had no principles at all.Horace gave Eden a thumbs-up. "You're still the best!"At the stadium, there were already a lot of people waiting. It wasn't even time yet, but the venue was already full.Horace could only sit in the fourth row with the ticket he got from somewhere.Eden wanted to give him the ticket to the first row, but after second thought, she decided not to. She didn't want to draw attention to herself. The fourth row was fine.The concert finally started.Leo wore a black tailcoat, and he looked graceful in every action he took.His appearance alone was enough to make many scream.Only Alain
After the concert had ended, Eden followed Alain back home. Ewan and the other students from Class 3-18 were going to return to school.Outside the stadium, Ewan stopped his classmates and took out a stack of photos with Leo's signature. "The chief asked me to give these to you. Leo's photos with his signature!"The students screamed in excitement."Ah!""Am I dreaming? This really is Leo's signature!""Chief, I love you!"Some of the concertgoers stopped and looked at them. When they saw the photos Ewan was holding, they became excited and approached him, asking, "Excuse me, can you sell them to me? I'll buy them at a high price."Ewan politely refused. "I'm so sorry, but there's only one for each of our classmates. We don't have any extras, and we're not selling them!"They were disappointed, but when they heard that all the students would get one, they showed expressions of envy.Ewan then distributed the signed photos and yelled, "We must repay the chief for treating us so
Eden followed Alain into the room and immediately noticed the patient on the bed. Her eyes narrowed.She rushed to the bedside, her beautiful face darkened. "What's going on here?"Jerred Hunt?Eden frowned and quickly checked Jerred's pulse.Alain's eyes narrowed, his fingers curling tightly in his pockets."Heartgorger?" Eden looked at Alain in surprise, her expression serious.Alain met her gaze and nodded. "That's right. His condition is worse than your grandmother's and has been worsening for a long time. Dr. Sanders from the Medical Research Institute put him into a coma by slowing down his heart, but he couldn’t cure him."Jerred's health has been deteriorating lately, and he won’t last long. We need to find a cure quickly."Alain hadn't initially wanted to ask Eden for help. If she could cure the Heartgorger toxin, she would have already cured her grandmother. But they were out of options. They needed to keep the Heartgorger under control, or Jerred wouldn't survive lon
Nighttime.Bluemoon Bar.Horace grabbed the beer bottle from Alain's hand, concern evident on his face. "You've already had too many bottles. You can’t drink any more. Even if you’re not drunk, it’s going to catch up with you eventually.""Give it to me," Alain growled, his eyes glowing with a fierce intensity."No!" Horace held the bottle close to his chest, refusing to give it up. "Your toxin isn’t completely gone yet. Even though Eden said you could drink, you can’t drink like this."The mention of Eden made Alain freeze. He slumped back onto the sofa in silence.Horace sighed, unsure what to say. Since morning, Alain and he had been waiting outside the hospital, hoping for a glimpse of Eden. But she hadn’t shown up, even as night fell.Alain had called Caelus, but Eden refused to let him in, so he didn’t know what was happening inside the ward. Caelus had relayed that information to Alain, and after that, they ended up at the bar.Alain, who normally wouldn’t touch beer, ha
Eden had never tried that needling technique before, which was why she took a little longer.When she finished, it was already ten in the evening.She expected Alain to be home, but he wasn't there when she arrived.Caelus then informed her that he couldn't reach Alain or Horace on their mobiles—they might be dealing with something.Eden didn't ask too many questions and went to take a shower.She didn't expect Alain to return just a few minutes after she got into the bathroom."Compared to me, do you want to stay by Jerred's side more?" Alain asked, jealousy tinting his voice.He admitted; Eden's attitude toward Jerred made him feel envious.When Eden heard this, she looked up at Alain and suddenly smiled. "So, you're jealous.""That's right," Alain said without any guilt. "I won't allow you to like other men."Eden finally understood why Alain seemed off tonight.The smile on her lips deepened. "Do you think he's my boyfriend?"Alain raised an eyebrow and looked at her, c
