Betrayed, Then Back For Blood

Chapter 84

Bring was a completely different person in class today compared to her energetic self during yesterday’s public lecture. She looked on and drowsy.

Barely five minutes into the lesson, her head was nearly buried in her book, eyes open wide in a desperate attempt to stay awake.

Yet Joshua, who was teaching at the podium, simply smiled at her, even when he caught her sneaking in a quick nap. He looked at her with the warmth of someone watching over their own child.

That was why Thomas had been closely watching her ever since she stepped into the lab building. Every time she left his sight, he would call Abble and tell her to stay away.
