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
Alain smiled and suddenly got close to Eden, patting her head. "Can I even make your heart flutter?"If he could, he wouldn't have to feel jealous of other men.The feeling he had was upsetting.Eden folded her hands in front of her chest and looked at him teasingly. "Maybe you can."After that, she grabbed a white shirt and went back to the bathroom to change out of her towel.The glee in Alain's eyes deepened.He said nothing else and went to the washroom to take a shower.Afterwards, Eden didn’t sleep. She was holding her mobile as if she was looking for something.Alain moved closer and glanced at the screen, surprised by what he saw. "You're looking for the Bloodgod Herb?"Eden raised her head. "You know about the herb?""Heard about it," Alain said as he poured two glasses of hot water and handed one to Eden. "The Parkers have it, if I remember correctly."Eden nodded. "They do. They have one.""Why are you looking for it?" Alain sipped and then sat by Eden’s side."
The teachers have yet to see a result with more than 110 marks.The physics teacher had already lost all hope for this exam. However, he didn’t expect to see something different.As he corrected question after question, he suddenly stood up with wide eyes. "Whose… Whose paper is this?"As the names on the test papers were hidden, the physics teacher couldn’t see whose paper it was.The chemistry teacher took a peek and was shocked, too. "Full marks? Is this Tyler from Class 3-1? He has been the top student in every exam."The physics teacher shook his head. "This is not Tyler’s handwriting.""That’s strange… Huh?" The chemistry teacher suddenly paused. "I have someone with full marks, too."At the same time, someone also obtained full marks for Albanese.Someone had 148 marks for Khyran.But math…Grant had finished with all the math papers and still no one had full marks. He removed his glasses in annoyance and said, "Looks like math is just too difficult."The physics teac
Grant took Eden to the staffroom.All the teachers were there.Jordan was about to ask Eden about what happened when Miriam immediately questioned her, "Eden, did you answer the exam questions yourself?"Eden looked down. "Yes."Her tone was crisp."Did you copy your answers?" Miriam asked with a stony expression. She didn't even bother giving Eden a smile."No," Eden answered nonchalantly and stood there quietly."You’re lying!" Miriam immediately threw the exam paper right at Eden. "If you didn't copy, how did you get full marks for all your subjects? You know how good you are, so don't tell me you knew all the questions by luck."Eden smiled as she raised her eyes. "Nothing to do with luck. I know the answers.""You're so stubborn!"Miriam couldn't be bothered with Eden anymore and turned to look at Jordan. "Mr. Smith, you heard everything. She cheated, so I hope you can deal with this fairly and seriously."Jordan was getting a headache.On one hand, it was the aggressi
