Chapter 605 Misunderstandings and Motives

As soon as the teacher gave the instructions, the boys got hyped. They rolled up their sleeves and dove in with full strength, yanking out weeds with gusto.

The girls, on the other hand, didn’t have as much upper body strength, so things went more slowly for them.

But everyone was earnest and kind–hearted. After finishing their own plots, some of the guys automatically helped the girls with theirs. Everyone just wanted to finish quickly and move on to the next phase of the assessment.

“Yunice, here! Let me help you!” A tan–skinned boy with rolled–up sleeves bounced into Yunice’s assigned plot and immediately reached down to start pulling weeds.

Yunice glanced over at his own section. The roots he’d yanked out still had huge chunks of dirt clinging to them, and among them were a few wilted plantain and angelica seedlings, drooping from dehydration.

She quickly shielded her medicinal plot and declined his help. “Thanks, but I’ve got it.

The boy scratched his head awkwardly and ran off to help someone else instead.

By the end of the session, most of the students had finished clearing their plots.

Yunice was one of the slower ones.

The teacher wandered leisurely between the plots with a big enamel mug of tea in hand, not offering a single tip or pointer.

After class, Yunice went out to eat with Freya off campus.

She’d been at school for three days and had settled in well. Her classmates weren’t as gossipy or difficult as she’d expected.

Freya, on the other hand, had stayed long enough and was about to head back. Mr. Carl needed her.

Before she left, Freya asked, “Wyatt hasn’t come to see you?”

Yunice shook her head.

Freya looked surprised. “Did he at least text or call? He’s not mad you snuck away without telling him, is he?”

That wasn’t it.

Since arriving, Yunice and Wyatt had stayed in touch. In fact, they’d just spoken on the phone after class. Wyatt hadn’t mentioned coming to visit, and Yunice hadn’t asked.

Freya said, “I’ll keep an eye on him while I’m back. Let’s see what he’s up to.”

Yunice hesitated for a moment but didn’t say anything.

Meanwhile, at a Silverburgh café…

Chapter 605 Misunderstandings and Motives

Elianna sat in a private booth, chin propped up, waiting impatiently.

Before long, she heard the slow tap of footsteps from the hallway.

She turned and saw Nora, propped up on crutches, making her way in one careful step at a time.

Elianna blinked in surprise and rushed over to help. “Nora, you’re standing already?”

Nora smiled. “The doctor says I’ve been progressing well with rehab. Maybe in another month I’ll be walking normally again.”

Elianna gawked. “That’s amazing! I read online that injuries like yours can take decades for some people to fully recover from!”

Nora chuckled softly. “Maybe I just have strong willpower.”

Elianna helped her into her seat.

Nora sighed. “I heard you’re living in Pavilion Hall now. How’s it going with your new wife?”

Elianna didn’t think much of the question. She’d always seen Nora as a gentle friend and didn’t suspect a thing. She’d been bottling up her feelings lately, and Nora gave her someone to talk to, so she opened up without hesitation.
