Chapter 712 While it looked good overall, it didnât manage to snag the first place.
Arabella announced her scores, and the other judges snapped back to reality and started scoring too.
Because Hans left early and couldnât score, only nine judges gave scores.
Isabella was shocked to find that she was the champ after calculating the total score of the three founds.
The runnerâup was a contestant from Dawnstar, Anna.
The third place went to Molly.
But everyone there knew that if it werenât for Molly passing out all of a sudden, she would have been the overall winner, especially considering she got a high score just for modifying the skirt part in this round.
As Arabella presented Isabella with her award, Isabella felt heavyâhearted because she knew better than anyone that this championship wasnât meant to be hers.
âItâs not fair to contestant number one.â Isabella suddenly said.
Whatever the reason, everyone had to accept the outcome.
1 believe contestant number one is looking forward to seeing you in the next competition.â Arabella comforted Isabella.
Isabella saw encouragement and affirmation in Arabellaâs eyes, and she could hardly believe it. When she lookedâagain, Arabella presented the award to the next contestant.
After the award ceremony, Arabella addressed everyone, All of you competing today are outstanding talents from various countries. Just being on this stage proves your exceptional ability. Youâre way ahead of most designers in this industry. Although many of you didnât get to take a trophy home, losing is not disgraceful. Those who caused trouble backstage and were taken away by the police, they are the ones who really disgraced their countries.â Arabellaâs words were firm and powerful, âAs long as you have the talent, youâll be noticed and recognized someday. Those who think they could win the trophy, weâll see you in the next competition.â
The whole place erupted in applause.
Arabella left the stage and didnât go to the hospital to visit Molly until the competition was over.
Meanwhile, Hans was by the hospital bed, waiting for the person on the bed to open her eyes.
âWhere is this?â Mollyâs mind was still foggy.
âYouâre in the hospital.â Hans saw her wake up and asked softly, âDo you feel better?â
âWhy am I in the hospital?â Mollyâs mind was chaotic. After a while, she suddenly realized something, âI was still in the competition.â
She tried to get out of bed but felt weak and fell into Hansâs arms.
Luckily, Hans caught her in time. Otherwise, she would fall off the bed.
âIt hurts.â Molly tugged at the needle in her hand and gasped in pain.
âAre you okay?â Hans looked down at the girl in his arms, realized they were too close, and quickly let go of her, allowing her steady herself, âThe competition is over.â
âItâs over? What about me?â Molly tried hard to remember, and she seemed to not to have finished her work.
The last butterfly, she didnât even finish.
âHow did it end so quickly? Did I place?â Molly saw Hans didnât answer, and she wanted to pull out the needle from her hand.
âYou canât pull it out. Just as Hans spoke, Molly had already reached to tear off the medical tape on her hand.
Hans quickly grabbed her hand, saying, âYouâre going to bleed.â
