Chapter 14 ~ Unexpected Savior
Chapter 14- Unexpected Savior
Athena
"If it isn't the little charity case."
An annoying voice stops me in my tracks, and I groan internally.
Do I have to deal with this right before my exams?
I turn to find Melanie and her usual group of
followers standing by the hallway lockers, smirking like they've been waiting for me.
Of course, they have.
I bet it eats them up so bad that an orphan like me, with no financial backup, is attending the best and most expensive medical school.
What they don't know is that I'm backed by the Kings. And if they
did, that smug look wouldn't even exist.
My parents were extremely gifted surgeons. They chose to help during a devastating flood, saving lives, and among the people they rescued was Giana King- Alexander's grandmother.
Unfortunately, my parents didn't make
it out alive. Giana felt indebted to them, so she found me, took me
in, and promised to support me. Somehow, she ended up loving
me like her own and decided I should marry her grandson.
Let's just say, Alexander King wasn't thrilled with that arrangement.
"The medical field doesn't need charity cases," Melanie continues, flipping her perfectly
straight hair over her shoulder. "It needs people who belong here. People who
aren't just some sob story taking up space."
Her friends giggle, eyes filled with mockery.
I clench my jaw, refusing to let them see their words sting.
"Right," I say coolly. "Because the world definitely needs more entitled trust-
fund babies playing doctor for fun."
Melanie's smile cracks just a little, but she recovers quickly.
"We'll see if you even make it past
this exam," she sneers. "I heard you got special treatment on your last paper. Guess pity
points really do go a long way."
I laugh as I step closer. "I guess it does. Six years to be exact." I tilt my
head. “But what about you?" Another step forward,
closing the space between us. "You've been in third year for seven years. Why? Did Daddy run out of money to pay for your grades?"
A few students passing by overhear and laugh.
