Chapter 55

A voice shouted, Get out of the way!

Lily instinctively threw herself in front of Aria.

The entire room froze, their hearts skipping a beat in shock

Uly!someone cried out.

Then came the sickening sound of flesh bring pierced.

Blood poured from Aria’s hand, dripping onto the floor.

Aria intercepted the knife

Lily held her tightly. Feeling Lily trembling in her arms, Aria knew it was the first time anyone had unconditionally protected her

For a moment, Aria thought about pulling away, about continuing her mission to track down Black Rose

But her body wouldn’t respond, her hand hanging limply at her side

Nathan snapped back to reality first. He kicked Leon aside with force, and teachers and students rushed forward to restrain him.

Aria’s left hand dropped, the knife clattering to the floor with a sharp clink.

Blood was flowing faster now.

The assailant had been subdued, but no one seemed able to process what had just happened.

They couldn’t understand why Leon had attacked Ania.

Lily, still numb, slowly opened her eyes. When she pulled her arms away from Aria, her gaze landed on the blood staining her hand.

A familiar, haunting fear gripped hera fear bom of years of abuse. Her voice shook, her body quivering in response. She took a shaky breath, exhaling slowly, trying to regain some semblance of control.

YouYou’re hurt,s she said, her voice barely above a whisper.

The air between them p grew heavy, an unspoken tension filling the space. No one seemed willing to interrupt.

Nathan’s suspicions were confirmed. Aria and Lily had met before.

His eyes dropped to the injury on Aria’s hand.

She looked strangely calm, as if she felt no pain at all.

He knew if this were Silvia, she would’ve been in agony

Nathan’s heart squeezed with an emotion he couldn’t fully identity.

It hit him so suddenly, so strongly, that he almost couldn’t catch his breath

Valerie was the first to act, rushing to Aria’s side. She quickly stripped off her jacket and wrapped it tightly around her hand

Let’s get you to the nurse, Valerie urged.

Larkridge High took student safety seriously, and their medical facilities were fully equipped. The school had hired professionals to handle emergences

Aria nodded, letting Valerie pull her toward the stairs.

Lily instinctively started to follow, but stepped herself halfway. Her pare ficked down to Leon, who was still pinned to the ground, and he darkened with an anger she didn’t know she had.

She thought to hersell, That was the perfect opportunity, Icould’ve just ignored him and let him freeze out there. What a shame!

Nathan took a few steps closer, his voice hesitant. We youokay!

Their math teacher from Cypress Class, who also taught Maple Class, was well known for his arrogance. He constantly boasted about his students, often looking down on others.

Ever since Lily claimed the top spot in their grade, her classmates had all been walking with their heads held high,

Nathan considered Lily a point of pride for their class and thought everyone should protect her.

Lily looked up at him, her voice surprisingly steady. Thank you. You’ve helped me again.

Nathan, feeling a little smug, shrugged casually. No big deal.

ButLily hesitated, her eyes narrowing sightly. Your sister’s hurt. Aren’t you going to check on her?

Lily had always been shy, and aside from her seatmates, she didn’t often speak to anyone else.

They hadn’t really exchanged many words over the past few months.

But now, her gaze wasn’t filled with shyness. Instead, it held confusionand a trace of anger.

Lily was defending Aria

Nathan couldn’t find the words to explain himself.

If it were Silvia, he would have been concerned, but it was Arla. He just couldn’t bring himself to care.

Aber a long pause,

Nathan muttered, his voice barely above a whisper, i don’t get along with her

Why not?Lily’s part

s gaze was intense. Did she bully you?*

Nathan shook his head. No.

Did she bully someone else?she asked again.

He hesitated for a moment, then replied, No.

Then why don’t you care about her?” Lily pressed.

Nathan felt a weight settle on his chest. He swallowed bard, his words coming out with more force than he intended. Good relationships go both ways. She ignores me, som not going to chase after he

Lily furrowed her brow, clearly not understanding. So caring is the same as chasing someone?

Nathan didn’t know how to answer.

Osric, who had been watching the exchange, couldn’t hold back any longer. Lily, don’t forget Nathan just saved you. Why are you being so harsh?

His tone was sharp, and Nathan shot him a look, silently asking him to stay out of it.

Two security guards arrived quickly, dragging Leon away, his furious eyes locked onto Lily

Nathan moved to stand in front of her, blocking her from Lean’s view.

Lily suddenly spoke, her voice low but firm. You’ve helped me twice now repay you

Nathan scratched his head awkwardly, a sheepish smile tugging at his lips. Don’t mention it.

But,Lily continued, her eyes serious, next time something like this happens, don’t help me. I don’t like you, and I don’t want your help
