Did Nolan pack these in a black plastic bag to avoid me being laughed at by others on the way back to the dormitory?

Nolan may seem cold on the outside, but he’s actually more considerate than anyone else when it comes to thinking things through.

He doesn’t seem as terrifying as the rumors from the previous life suggested. How could someone like him possibly be involved in murder or arson?

In the afternoon, Eliza was resting in bed when the dormitory auntie suddenly knocked on the door, “Eliza, is that you?”

Eliza opened her eyes, got up groggily, and went to open the door. There, behind the dormitory manager, were two men carrying a brand–new mattress.

“It was delivered by courier,” the manager explained as she let the men bring the mattress inside.

Eliza didn’t recall ordering a mattress, and she remembered that the brand was quite expensive–something she couldn’t afford.

She immediately thought of Henry, who had escorted her back earlier, and felt a pang of guilt.

It is my situation, yet I have caused so much trouble for others.

The dormitory manager, a middle–aged woman in her forties known for her warm–heartedness, said to Eliza, “I heard you have a fever. Rest well in your dormitory these next few days, and don’t hesitate to ask me if you need anything.”

Eliza nodded at the manager and thanked her.

“No problem, dear. You’re all good kids here, and I’ll definitely help you out when you’re in trouble,” the manager replied before leaving with the couriers.

Eliza looked at the bed linens on her bed, deep in thought.

Farly the next morning, Eliza returned to her class. Henry saw her back in school after just one day of rest

d frowned, saying, “Didn’t I tell you to rest? Why are you back at school already?”

“Henry, I need to talk to you,” Eliza said seriously.

Although puzzled, Henry followed her outside the classroom.

Eliza spoke earnestly, “It’s the end of the year, and all the pharmacies are clearing out their stock at low prices. Does your company do the same?”

“Yes,” Henry replied.

“I want you to listen to me and remember this, make sure you have a stockpile of medical masks, effective medicine, and fever–reducing medications. The stock should be over a million units. I think your company should be able to manage that.“/

“Why are you saying this all of a sudden? Over a million units means holding onto tens of millions of dollars‘ worth of goods. My parents won’t agree to that.”

“I remember you have a pharmaceutical factory under your name. Although you’re just a nominal owner, I believe you have some say in it. Trust me, no matter how much you stockpile, just remember not to clear it out. By next February, you’ll understand.”

Seeing how serious Eliza was, Henry paused for a moment, then said, “Alright, I got it.”

“Aren’t you going to ask why?”

“No, I trust you.”

Henry patted Eliza on the shoulder and said, “I’m used to being a bit of a troublemaker. Even if my parents scold me for hoarding some goods, it’s not a big deal. Besides, it’s not a problem to keep medicine and masks for a year or two.”

“Thank you, Henry. I won’t betray your trust.”

“Okay, I believe you.”

“Also!” Eliza called out to Henry. “I’m not close to Colton and Lewis, so it’s not appropriate for me to tell them directly, but they should also stockpile the items I mentioned. Also, if your four families cooperate, you should be able to gain some profit next year.”

Eliza had to stop there; saying any more would sound like a wild tale. Henry didn’t ask further and agreed.

Back in the classroom, Nolan, sitting at the back, casually asked, “What did you talk to Henry about?”

“Nothing much, just about stockpiling some supplies.”

Upon hearing about stockpiling supplies, Nolan glanced at Eliza. She seemed to be recovering well as she flipped through her books. At that moment, Eliza took out a few crumpled dollars from her pocket and placed them in front of Nolan.

Seeing the money, Nolan frowned and asked, “What’s the meaning of this?”

“For the things you gave me yesterday… thank you.”

“Thank me with money?”

Nolan’s tone was tinged with mockery. “Henry gave it to you, and you accepted it without a second thought. But when I give something, it makes you uneasy?”
