Jadie hesitated, and the answer became apparent.Rosario could do a lot of things for her back home. Not only could Rosario keep the house clean, but she would also cook for Jadie every day she came back home from school. There was just no way that she would let Rosario go.Madelyn coughed and her voice sounded a little hoarse. So, Jadie cleverly changed the topic, "Madelyn, you should stop talking. Your voice sounds very hoarse. I'll go and buy some medicine for you. Hold on, let me get you some water first."Jadie placed her bag down and quickly went out to get a cup of water from the dispenser that was available outside every classroom with disposable cups stored under it. "Madelyn, have some water.""Leave it on the table. I don't feel like drinking it now." Madelyn slumped on the desk."Wait here. I'll go get you some medicine then.""It's okay. I'll feel better after resting for a while. I guess I just didn't get enough sleep last night. Don't worry about me."Jadie crouch
The mathematics class lasted for about 2 hours in the morning.Madelyn felt like she was going to have a cold or fever.Jadie wanted to get her quiz paper from her, but Madelyn had already left her seat and gone to the medical room. The cup of water that Jadie took for her remained untouched on the desk.Jadie saw that and replaced it with another fresh one. She picked up Madelyn's paper and glanced at it. Out of the five MCQs, two of Madelyn's answers were different from hers. Jadie chose B and C while Madelyn selected A for both questions.'Did I make a mistake?'Jadie doubted herself.Then, Jadie went to the second-ranked student in the class, Cecilia Wayne, who was also the class monitor. She had always been the top student in class before Madelyn took the spot away from her.However, there was a huge score difference between them. Cecilia had always wanted to be in Class One, but it was not possible with her current grades.The only way that she could make it happen was to
Cecilia took out a piece of paper and a pen, saying, "Well, let's have a look then!"...The sky was dark, and the snow on the ground was still melting, making everything damp and chilly. The wind blew and the water droplets on the leaves fell on Madelyn's nose, causing her to shiver from the cold.She tucked half of her face into the scarf. Then, she got her body temperature measured in the medical room. It was 100.04ᐤF.The doctor said, "You have a slight fever. Do you have any other discomfort? Are you having a runny nose?""A little." Madelyn nodded."Okay, I'll prescribe some medicine for you. If your fever doesn't go away in a few days, you'll have to visit the hospital.""All right, thank you, doctor."Madelyn took the bag of medicine and placed both of her hands in the pocket of her school uniform. She lowered her head as she walked and suddenly a dark figure wearing a pair of white sports shoes appeared in front of her. "H-Hello..."Madelyn lifted her gaze and saw a r
The guy only stopped pestering Madelyn when their class was about to start. She would not have come back to school at all if she had known that something like this would happen. Just as Madelyn sat back down in her seat, the assistant homeroom teacher summoned her to the office.Kayley was rummaging through her drawers when Madelyn arrived. "Have a seat."Madelyn pulled out a chair and sat down.A while later, Kayley pulled out a volunteer form. "You have been missing classes for such a long time, and not answering calls either. Madelyn... did something happen with your family?"Kayley was the language teacher for Class Six. Then, she was promoted to be the class teacher of Class Six after Jasmine left. Before that, she had always been the one helping to manage the class.Madelyn had a pretty good impression of her. She had always been genuine and treated everyone in the class equally. Unlike Jasmine, who approached her pretentiously because she had other motives."My family is f
That way, Zach would not be able to harm her in the process of getting back at Hayson.At this moment, Madelyn seemed to have a sudden realization. In the past, she had not even left Ventropolis. Zach had kept her caged like a canary, trapped in a hollow shell of a marriage. She had become narrow-minded and lacked much wisdom. This might be her only chance.Madelyn filled out her college applications, with Ventropolis University as her first choice. She had already decided that before graduating college, she planned to study abroad without Hayson's knowledge and might return after three to five years. Even if Hayson cut off her financial support, she planned to be able to stand on her own feet by then. Perhaps by the time she returned, Hayson would have forgotten about her. Or maybe Hayson would be dead, and the Jent family fortune would be in Zach's hands. Regardless, she would probably be in Rodale State, or maybe Sandspring, enjoying the most beautiful polar nights.In her past l
"I'm transferring to Class One," Madelyn casually announced, standing up and heading over to the water cooler to fill a cup and take her medicine.The classroom immediately erupted into noisy chatter at her words, with some of the remarks bordering on mockery."Is that for real? If she can get into Class One through cheating, how long can she stay? The workload in Class One is heavy. I bet she'll crawl back here in three days.""Exactly! It's not easy to cheat your way into a new class!""I'd rather be dead than do what she did."Hearing these comments, Serena defended Madelyn, "Who says Madelyn cheated? Did any of you see it? Don't forget, you all saw Madelyn's math paper—it was all correct. Blaming others for your own poor grades, it's you who should be ashamed. You can't stand it when others succeed."'My math paper?' Madelyn's gaze shifted to Jadie, who sat in front of Forrest, giving her an innocent and guilty look. Madelyn said nothing and returned to her seat. She was alre
Madelyn stepped onto the tiled floor where the melted snow had just been. A gust of cold wind blew, and she started coughing again.She walked into the library, taking a seat in her usual spot. 'My only chance now is to get into Ventropolis University and qualify for the student exchange program. Perhaps if Hayson sees my effort, he'll change his mind. A daughter doesn't need to be a marriage tool; I can support the Jent family too.'Outside the large window, the snow began to fall heavily. Madelyn's studious reflection, with her long hair cascading down, was mirrored on the glass. After completing a few tests, she felt hungry. Realizing it was indeed lunchtime, she was about to have her lunch when suddenly, a message popped up.Ethan: [Madelyn, I've prepared a gift for you. I hope you'll like it.]Remembering Zach's advice, Madelyn did not reply to Ethan's message and deleted all their previous conversations.'If I hadn't gone through all that, maybe we'd be good friends now. I s
After making it through the day, Madelyn's cold had significantly improved by 5:30 p.m., except for some dizziness and a stuffy nose. The one thing she was thankful for was that Hayson did not interfere with her school affairs.Around 6:00 p.m., Madelyn finally left the school gate. There, she ran into Jadie and Kevin. Kevin had said something to Jadie, after which Jadie got into the car. Kevin looked a bit impatient, glancing at his wristwatch from time to time, until he saw Madelyn. He walked over briskly, and Madelyn also walked over to him."Kevin, is something up?" Madelyn asked. Kevin was a loyal follower of Zach. In her previous life, it was Kevin who had handed her the divorce agreement."Jordan isn't here, so Mr. Jardin ordered me to pick up Ms. White, and also give you a ride, Ms. Jent. I remember that you're in the same class as Ms. White." Kevin paused, then asked, "Why are you leaving school so late?"After so many years with Zach, Kevin was unflappable and always kept
