A follower of Chloe spoke up, “Teacher, Alice has been studying hard. She must know the
answer.”
Now everyone turned to Alice, most of them waiting for a laugh. After all, Alice usually scored lower than Chloe
and probably wouldn’t be able to answer either.
But Alice stood up and answered correctly.
The teacher was surprised.“Correct! Alice has been working hard lately. Everyone should learn from her and not
slack off.”
Chloe shot a glance at Alice, filled with resentment. If it weren't for the gtaking up her time, she would have

Sure enough, after she returned, the butler kept a close watch on her, making her feel uneasy. After dinner, Alice
went straight to her room, locking the door behind her, finally feeling a bit more relaxed.
While doing her homework, she took out her phone. She was torn about whether to message Jack, especially
since she hadn’t gone to see him today. But it seemed he wasn’t waiting for her; she was always the one pushing
herself to go.

up all night. She leaned on the desk, intending to take a quick nap, but accidentally fell asleep.

She packed her homework and rushed downstairs, hurrying to school.
At noon, she hesitated for a moment before heading to the infirmary. But she didn’t see Jack, so she mustered
the courage to ask the doctor inside, “Where's Dr. Wilson?”
“He's at lunch.”
Alice nodded, planning to cback after school to find him.
After school that afternoon, Alice went to the infirmary again, but still didn’t see Jack; it was the sdoctor
from earlier. “Girl, I'm on duty today. Focus on your studies. It’s too early for be thinking of these things.”

Alice blushed but didn’t explain. In the following days, she secretly went to the infirmary but never saw Jack. For
a moment, she felt a bit down, having gotten used to him being there waiting for her.
Alice realized she had started to depend on Jack.
She quickly adjusted her emotions; she absolutely couldn't rely on anyone else. She had to rely on herself in this
life.
She calmed down and prepared wholeheartedly for the upcoming monthly exam.
She couldn't fail.
