Chapter 145

Cecilia took out a piece of paper and a pen, saying, “Well, let’s have a look then!”

The sky was dark, and the snow on the ground was still melting, making everything damp and chilly.

The wind blew and the water droplets on the leaves tell on Madelyn’s nose, causing her to shiver from the cold.

She tucked half of her face into the scarf. Then, she got her body temperature measured in the medical room. It was 100.04°F.

The doctor said, “You have a slight fever. Do you have any other discomfort? Are you having at runny nose?”

“A little.” Madelyn nodded.

“Okay, I’ll prescribe some medicine for you. If your fever doesn’t go away in a few days, you’ll have to visit the hospital.”

“All right, thank you, doctor.”

Madelyn took the bag of medicine and placed both of her hands in the pocket of her school uniform.

She lowered her head as she walked and suddenly a dark figure wearing a pair of white sports shoes appeared in front of her. “H-Hello…”

Madelyn lifted her gaze and saw a relevantly big-sized guy standing in her way. His hair looked greasy, and Madelyn wondered if it was just the water, or if he had not been washing his hair for days. The guy was about six feet and a little chubby.

“Can I help you?” Madelyn asked.

The guy snickered while staring at Madelyn with a silly smile. “Heh heh… You’re gorgeous! Can you be my girlfriend?”

“Hahaha…”

Madelyn heard laughter coming from the nearby basketball court. She looked over and saw some students from another class teasing them.

Then, she shifted her gaze back to the guy and apologized to him in a gentle tone. After that, she added, “By the way, the exam is coming. Don’t you need to study for it?”

“Not really. My family owns an oil company, and my father is very rich. He’s just going to pay my way into a university if my grades aren’t good enough. Heh heh… Would you be my girlfriend? I’ll give you as much money as you want, and I’ll also buy you a lot of snacks and nice clothes every day….”

“I’m sorry, but I’m not looking to be in a relationship for now,” Madelyn rejected him.

However, it was not because of his appearance or his silly behavior. Instead, she just did not think that it was the right time for her to think about such things. “There are plenty of other good-looking girls in our school. I’m not the one for you. Please find someone else.”

The big guy quickly said, “But you’re the only one I like. None of them are as beautiful as you. You’re the only one I want to be with.”

Madelyn took a deep breath. She was supposed to be angry, but she laughed instead. “I don’t know if someone forced you to say these meaningless things to me, but I don’t think you really want to be with me. You probably only like me because you’re too bored with your life!

“Do you know how it feels to like a person? Do you even know me? I can’t believe that you said you wanted to be with me when we just met…

“Do you know that you have to be responsible for what you said?”

The big guy looked confused as he scratched his head. “I don’t understand what you mean. Are you saying that you’ll be with me if I spend more time with you and get to know you more? Don’t worry, my father will never be against this relationship. Also, you don’t have to worry about money. We’re very rich!”

Madelyn’s headache felt even worse now.

The students in this school were either from a very wealthy family or their parents were some influential figures.

The Jent family’s wealth was nothing compared to that. Besides, with what Hayson had done, he would probably be jailed for life once the authorities investigated him.

Hayson had engaged in a lot of illegal activities and most people looked down upon him for that.

Although Madelyn did not really know about the details of the crimes he committed, she was aware that many wealthy and influential individuals had mutually beneficial relationships with Hayson. They were all in the same boat, and if Hayson ever found himself in trouble, many would wish for his demise.
