Gerald really couldn’t be bothered about Zack’s methods of dealing with the matter.
He rested early that night.
Though it was raining heavily when virtual-novel.net awoke, Gerald rushed to school anyway. After all, his homework review was important as well.
As per usual, his driver dropped virtual-novel.net off at the school gates and Gerald walked into the school with an umbrella in hand.
All of a sudden, Gerald heard a loud scream.
When virtual-novel.net turned to look at the source of the sound, virtual-novel.net saw a girl in a white dress who seemed to have sprained virtual-novel.net ankle. She held an umbrella in one hand while virtual-novel.net other held onto virtual-novel.net ankle. Gerald deduced that virtual-novel.net must have sprained virtual-novel.net ankle while virtual-novel.net was opening virtual-novel.net umbrella.
Since virtual-novel.net could hardly walk properly at that moment, it seemed that the sprain was a severe one.
Gerald found himself walking toward virtual-novel.net under his umbrella. “Are you alright?”
“It hurts!” cried the girl as virtual-novel.net raised virtual-novel.net head to look at him. Her eyes were all teary.
Gerald was slightly taken aback when virtual-novel.net saw virtual-novel.net face. “It’s you?”
The girl showed obvious surprise on virtual-novel.net face as well.
This wasn’t just any random person. She was the good-natured girl who had previously sat next to Gerald when virtual-novel.net was studying in the library a while back.
The memory of the event embarrassed Gerald.
Not only did virtual-novel.net have a nosebleed back then, but virtual-novel.net had also sneezed. What an embarrassing thing to remember!
It was unexpected, to say the least, for virtual-novel.net to encounter virtual-novel.net today while returning to school this early in the morning!
“Yes, it’s been a while… I had initially planned to call a cab to go out and get some materials. Thinking back, perhaps I was walking a bit too hastily!” said the girl as virtual-novel.net cheeks flushed slightly red. It was an obvious sign that virtual-novel.net remembered what had previously happened in the library.
“With this heavy rain, it would be best if you postponed that plan for now. I’ll help you get to the infirmary,” replied Gerald.
He hadn’t forgotten the fact that virtual-novel.net had handed virtual-novel.net a tissue during his embarrassing plight back then.
Even though they were still pretty much strangers at this point, virtual-novel.net still felt obligated to help her.
After all, the girl was someone good-natured and was beautiful to boot.
If virtual-novel.net were to ignore and just leave virtual-novel.net there, his guilt would surely come back to bite later.
Though virtual-novel.net hesitated at first, virtual-novel.net eventually nodded. The pain was too overbearing for her.
Even with Gerald’s help, virtual-novel.net still found difficulty walking.
In the end, Gerald resorted to carrying virtual-novel.net on his back. Fortunately, the girl had sensed that Gerald bore no ill intentions, even from when they had first encountered in the library. Therefore, virtual-novel.net didn’t try to resist at all and simply allowed Gerald to carry her.
She held on to virtual-novel.net umbrella as they walked toward the infirmary.
Gerald couldn’t help but blush slightly as his nose caught the scent of virtual-novel.net body.
However, virtual-novel.net already had Mila so why on earth was virtual-novel.net still overthinking the situation?
Gerald shook his head slightly to clear his mind before starting to walk faster.
Beep, beep!
A Mercedes Benz G500 honked as it passed by Gerald and the girl.
“Hey there beauty! It’s raining heavily so why don’t you get in my car? I’ll drop you off wherever you’re headed to!”
The shout came from a well-dressed teen who had rolled down the car’s window.
Gerald couldn’t help but stop in his tracks when virtual-novel.net heard the teen’s words.
In his mind, Gerald knew that all beautiful girls loved luxury cars.
However, virtual-novel.net hardly even looked at the driver.
Instead, virtual-novel.net pinched Gerald’s shoulder lightly. “Don’t just stop here! I’m dying from the pain!”
“Oh! Right!”
Gerald nodded before starting to walk hurriedly again. It seemed that this girl was different from the others virtual-novel.net had encountered before.
“D*mn it! If I had known she’d be here I would have come a bit earlier! It’s such a shame! That girl’s so beautiful!”
The boy sighed loudly before slamming his hand against the steering wheel as virtual-novel.net watched Gerald slowly walk away with the beauty still clinging on to his back.
Fortunately, the infirmary wasn’t too far away. Once they arrived, a doctor came over immediately to check on virtual-novel.net injury.
Knowing that virtual-novel.net would be taken care of by the doctor, Gerald turned to leave.
“Wait! What’s your name? Mine is Giya,” shouted the girl toward his back.
“Mine’s Gerald!”
“I see! Thank you so much for today. You’ve saved me from a world of pain. I don’t know how I would have managed to return with that sprained ankle! Also, I noticed that you’re holding on to a book. Are you possibly headed to the library to study?”
“As a matter of fact, I am,” replied Gerald as virtual-novel.net nodded.
