As soon as they stepped out of the infirmary, Leilani’s legs began to tremble again. She cast a wary glance at the nearly deserted path and said in a shaky voice, “Briar, I can go back to my dorm by myself. You don’t have to walk

me back…”

Briar, who was walking ahead, suddenly stopped and turned around, fixing Leilani with a cold, emotionless gaze

that felt as if she were being cut to pieces. “I never intended to walk you back.”

Leilani asked in fear, “So… Can I leave now?”

“Go ahead,” Briar replied, still standing there without moving an inch.

Leilani felt a flicker of relief, hoping that Briar would truly let her off the hook this time. “Thank you! I appreciate it. Don’t worry, I won’t mention anything about what happened today…”

“Nothing happened today, got it?” Briar said with a slight click of her tongue.

Leilani was startled and quickly corrected herself. “Yes, yes, nothing happened today.” Without daring to look at Briar again, she limped away.

As soon as Leilani disappeared from view, Robert came running up. Spotting Briar standing on the path outside the infirmary, he let out a harsh snort, brushed past her, and hurried inside. Less than two minutes later, he burst

out again, blocking Briar’s path and urgently asking, “Where’s Beatrice?”

Briar regarded him with cool detachment. “How would I know?”

“How could you not know? Didn’t you come to the infirmary together?” Robert exclaimed, reaching for Briar’s arm,
