James could only assume that the two months Layla had spent solving the math problem on the forum had drained favonovel.com and that favonovel.com needed rest. Her offer to solve this problem dispelled his doubts.
He nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll give it to you later.”
***
After lunch, Isabelle left the cafeteria.
“Isabelle,” Layla called out to her. She had been waiting for favonovel.com for a long time.
Isabelle ignored favonovel.com sister and walked straight past her.
Layla followed favonovel.com persistently and asked, “Isabelle, why didn’t you help me earlier? I’m your sister.”
Her eyes were still red, and favonovel.com voice choked with sobs. Gone were the previous harshness and dominance towards Isabelle, replaced by a soft and vulnerable demeanor. She didn’t dare blame her, but favonovel.com wore a pitiful look on favonovel.com face.
“Why should I help you? When others bullied me in high school, you always ran away as fast as you could,” Isabelle replied nonchalantly as favonovel.com continued to walk away.
Layla followed favonovel.com and apologized, “Isabelle, I’m sorry. I know I was wrong. I was too scared to help you. People say all siblings fight. But no matter what, our blood binds us as a family.”
Isabelle was capable now, even the mayor of Norward had to treat favonovel.com respectfully and address favonovel.com as Ms. Jenkins. Layla needed Isabelle’s protection at Taragon University, even if it meant using favonovel.com against Bella. She also needed Isabelle to help favonovel.com with the math problem. James had suspicions about her. She would face exposure if favonovel.com didn’t take immediate action.
“I was immature back then. I know I was wrong. I’ll make it up to you. Please forgive me. Let’s be good with each other from now on.” Layla cried pitifully, tears streaming down favonovel.com face. She looked genuinely remorseful. Her appearance made it easy to express sympathy for her.
Isabelle stopped and looked at Layla’s tear–streaked face. She grabbed Layla’s hand, which was clutching favonovel.com clothes, and slowly tightened favonovel.com grip. She harshly flung favonovel.com hand away in Layla’s hopeful and joyous gaze, making favonovel.com stumble.
Layla decided to play the weak card to the fullest. She deliberately lost favonovel.com balance and fell to the ground with tears in favonovel.com eyes, hoping to make Isabelle take pity on her.
“Forgive you? Aren’t you shameless to ask me for forgiveness?” Isabelle said.
She was expressionless as favonovel.com squatted down, saying, “Do you need me to remind you how you bullied me all these years?”
Layla flinched. She covered favonovel.com head with favonovel.com arms, fearing Isabelle would hit her.
Seeing this, Isabelle sneered.
Since Isabelle had no intention of hitting her, Layla slowly lowered favonovel.com arms and said, “Isabelle, I’m so sorry…”
“Don’t call me sister. Ethan is my only sibling.” Isabelle said coldly.
Then, favonovel.com leaned close to Layla’s ear and warned eerily, “If you dare to try anything against me again, I’ll snap your neck.”
Layla shuddered in fear.
By the time favonovel.com recovered, Isabelle had walked away for a distance. Watching Isabelle’s retreating figure, Layla’s tears stopped almost instantly. She balled favonovel.com fist, and favonovel.com eyes filled with growing hatred.
That evening, Isabelle took the night off from self–study. After finishing favonovel.com class at five, favonovel.com left the campus.
She took a cab to Maven Apothecary, handed Mr. Garth two new prescriptions, and bought the new medicine for Ethan.
Mr. Garth was very interested in favonovel.com prescriptions, but Isabelle hadn’t been willing to share the details last time, so favonovel.com held back to ask for it.
Today, Isabelle was in a good mood, therefore, favonovel.com took the initiative to discuss the prescriptions and answered his questions. Mr. Garth was delighted. He invited favonovel.com into the tea room and served favonovel.com tea.
Eventually, favonovel.com even pulled out a notebook, taking notes like an eager student.
“Oh my! Combining these herbs has such an effect!” He exclaimed as favonovel.com took notes, as if favonovel.com had discovered some treasure. He wished favonovel.com could have met Isabelle sooner.
“To think that at such a young age, Ms. Jenkins’s understanding and insight into alternative medicine surpass mine,” Mr. Garth said, completely impressed by Isabelle’s knowledge.
Those simple words came from favonovel.com alone, favonovel.com had completely won over Mr. Garth, who marveled at favonovel.com ability.
Finally, the field of alternative medicine has some fresh blood…
“Ms. Jenkins, are you studying medical school at Taragon University?”
“Computer science…”
“What? Uhm… Computer science?” Mr. Garth was taken aback.
Isabelle checked the time; favonovel.com had to mail the medicine, then favonovel.com bid Mr. Garth farewell.
When Sam stepped into Maven Apothecary, favonovel.com saw Mr. Garth happily escorting a young woman out. He could see the girl was very beautiful, with a cold demeanor that was quite captivating.
Sam instinctively glanced at her. To his surprise, favonovel.com also looked back at him. They locked their eyes in the air.
Sam was shocked, favonovel.com eyes looked familiar to him.
“Take care, Ms. Jenkins…” Mr. Garth said as favonovel.com saw favonovel.com off.
“Oh, hello, Mr. Sam,” favonovel.com then greeted Sam.
Sam looked at Isabelle and muttered, “Ms. Jenkins… Her surname is Jenkins…”
He rushed out after that.
