A long silence fell inside the carriage.
In the end, it was Nicole who broke the silence. She looked at the cherry blossom tree in front of the
car as she let go and got down from the car.
“I should be going.” If she were to wait anything, it will be too late to get back. Jared too got down as he
looked at the girl’s dormitory with a tinge of regret.
If possible, he wanted to escort her upstairs. Nicole seemingly saw through his thoughts as she
glanced at him and smiled, waving her hands at him as she headed upstairs.
Jared looked on as she disappeared from his sight. It was only then did he took out his phone and gave
Max a call.
The earlier gentleness in his voice toward Nicole was nowhere to be found, and instead, a frost had
taken over it.
“Take care of someone for me.”
Max was at JJ Johnston Group dealing with some documents. The indifferent look on his face
disappeared as soon as he put down the phone as a tinge of brutality appeared between his eyes.
‘Anyone who dares to cross Jared is done for in this lifetime!’
Nicole returned to her dormitory and found June and Lulu were doing their revisions. The monthly
exams were drawing close with only three days left, and they were still somewhat nervous.
When they saw Nicole came back, they gave her the best courtesy treatment they had as they greeted
Nicole enthusiastically.
And just as quickly, they returned to their revision. Seeing how hardworking they are, Nicole raised her
eyebrows as she took out a book a sat beside them.
Lulu, who was in the midst of her revision, was a little curious. Would Nicole actually revise things
properly like them?
She stretched her head over and took a careful glance.
‘Damn…. I didn’t understand at word at all.’
Lulu then silently pulled her little head away.
When June saw her reaction, she too was a little curious as she glanced at Nicole and asked, “. Nicole,
what are you looking at?”
Nicole waved the book in her hand, her voice somewhat impassive. “The Hippocratic Papers.”
‘The what?’
Seeing that Lulu and June were staring blankly at her, Nicole explained plainly.
“The first medical journal in history, the many simple yet primitive theories inside it are actually quite
interesting.”
Lulu looked at the doodle-like Graecian alphabets and she had no idea how Nicole could say this with
such a straight face.
June nodded thoughtfully. Modern medicine was obsessed with all sorts of complicated and high-end
medical techniques, yet at times it was not as profound as the straightforward understanding of
medicine by the ancient people.
Seeing both of them were interested, Nicole raised her eyebrows as she asked, “Want to hear more
about it?”
Both Lulu and June immediately turned back as they wordlessly indicated that they were not free at the
moment. Seeing this, a smile appeared in Nicole’s eyes. The three of them sat there quietly doing their
own things. When It was about half past ten, June paused and softly said.
“Lights off.”
Both Nicole and Lulu packed up their books as the three was done washing up, June turned off the
lights.
In the darkness, only their shallow breathing could be heard.
A minute later, June’s soft voice rang out. “Nicole, what’s the deal with that diamond today?”
Lulu too was wondering about it, and when she heard June asking the same thing, her ears
immediately perked up.
