Evan turned away. “Can’t you win Paige back with your persuasion?”

Alex shook his head. “No, her temperament is almost like Caroline’s, and she can’t tolerate any

imperfections.”

Evan sneered. “I’m not as disgraceful as you

Alex glared at Evan. “How dare you say something like that? Clearly, you’re more excessive than I

am!*

The car headed toward the development zone.

Not even halfway through the journey, Evan’s phone rang.

He answered when he saw it was Axel’s teacher calling.

Evan responded casually. “What’s up?”

“Could you come to the school, Mr. Jordan? Axel has a high fever of 39°C, and he’s in the nurse’s

Evan’s expression grew serious. “Alright, I’m on my way.“”

Evan told Reuben. “Turn the car around, heading back to Merlin School.”

Evan reassured him, “I’m taking you to the hospital.”

Axel sighed. “Alright.”

As he tried to get up, a warm gush of blood streamed from his nose before he could sit properly.

Axel was stunned and looked at the bloodstain on Evan’s arm from his nosebleed.

“Axel? Why is your nose bleeding?” Evan’s voice trembled.

Axel wiped away his nosebleed with his hand. “It’s normal.”

Blood continued to flow as he wiped it away.

The nurse grabbed some tissues to stop Axel’s nosebleed, but Axel pushed her away. “It’s fine.”

The nurse said, “It will help stop the bleeding.”

Axel continued to wipe his nose, but his face turned red quickly. “It’s useless. It won’t stop–1

Axel’s face went pale before he could finish his sentence, and his eyes widened.

He spat out blood before covering his mouth with his hand.
