After four rings, Edward picked up the call. Then, before he could utter a sound, Vivian hastily said in a hoary voice, “Liam.” As she expected, the man on the other side was taken aback, so he did not give any response. She continued to grumble in her nasal voice, “I’m feeling so terrible. My head hurts so bad right now that I think it’s gonna explode. I guess I’ve caught a cold. Can you do me a favor and bring me some medicine?”Her voice was getting fainter and fainter as she spoke. Before
“I was so freaked out and my mind was all over the place when I got the call from your colleague, so I didn’t dare to bother them in the middle of the night. However, you can’t sweep things like this under the rug and it's only a matter of time before they know that you're in the hospital. By the way, don’t expect me to cover up for you. I’d like to see what kind of excuses you're going to give to tackle Mom's nagging when she's here tomorrow," Liam said.As expected, Mrs. Carraway was both ang
She merely caught a cold. She did not contract any serious illness, yet she stayed in the hospital for several days straight. As a man with a brilliant mind, it was not difficult for him to see through her trick. Vivian knew she could not deceive him. As such, she did not bother to explain herself and outright admitted it. “You see everything beneath you. You don’t care what other people think about you, but that’s not possible for me. Do you know how embarrassed I was when I ran into my stude
“I’m very grateful to the faculty for trusting me so much. Rest assured administrator, I’ll definitely put more effort into the New Year Gala,” Vivian replied sensibly. The classroom administrator nodded contentedly and dismissed her. When Vivian was on the way back to her office, she saw the list of people with outstanding performance on the bulletin board. As expected, she did not find herself on the list. It was only now that she understood why the class administrator had advised her not
Everyone became quiet when Vivian appeared. Standing in the center of the crowd, Claude turned his head around and looked at her. The emotions in his eyes were too complex to register. There was anger, and there some kind of struggle, but the more prominent emotions were pain and disappointment. It was only now that Vivian truly felt the young man might have a crush on her.He turned back to stare at the two girls. Without saying anything, he grabbed his bag and attempted to worm his way throug
Vivian frowned. She suddenly felt like dealing with this young man in his late adolescence was a little tricky. She could foresee that he would bring more trouble to her in the future. Just as she expected, she was summoned by the class administrator the next morning. She had already prepared herself for this, so she was calm. With a serene expression, she retorted, “I don’t think I’ve handled the matter wrongly, administrator. Can you tell me what I’ve done wrong?” The truth was that her sp
Joan Konstantin looked like a kind old woman. She nodded at Vivian and smiled. “Hello, Miss Carraway.”Although it was close to afternoon, it was still quite chilly outside. This was no place for a chat. “Madam Konstantin, shall we get a seat?”However, Joan refused and smiled, “No, thank you, let’s stay outside. My legs aren’t that nimble anymore and it’s been inconvenient for me to go anywhere. It’s been a while since I’ve had the chance to walk around outside anyway. I’m sorry to trouble yo
Joan’s face displayed a worldly smile as she turned to Vivian with a gentle gaze. “My dear, behind you is a bottomless precipice, and you cannot turn back. I, however, have my son’s skeleton behind me, so I cannot step back either. You believe that the heavens judges both good and evil alike, and so do I. However…” As she pointed to the skies with her finger, her tone grew more relaxed and determined as steel. “The heavens need our help in upholding virtue and condemning evil, rather than stayin
