Chapter 95

Chapter 95 Didn’t You Buy the Medicine for Me?

But shouldn’t he at least say thanks? I’m not obliged to buy the medicine for him, but I did anyway. Oh, well. I will think of it as repaying his generosity for selling the shoplot cheaply to me.

At night, she returned to her dorm and placed the medicine neatly in her storage basket. She then received a video call request from Yulia and promptly accepted it.

It was noisy on Yulia’s side, and it took Stella a while to recognize the background—Yulia was at a party.

“Where are you?” Stella asked in curiosity.

“Oh, I’m at an event organized by a business leader. A lot of company presidents and popular figures are here. I got a promotion not long ago, so I bit the bullet and invited myself to the event as well. Had you been in Hollowcrest City, I would have invited you too! It’s a pity that you’re abroad. Look.” In the video, Yulia was wearing an evening dress with a sweetheart neckline, and she had some light makeup on, looking pretty and fresh. With her phone in hand, she gave Stella a tour of the place, moving blithely in the crowds.

Stella seemed to have recognized someone from the video—Miles. Maybe the weather was hot because he was dressed in a dark gray T-shirt, dancing with a woman. Seeing that, Stella’s heart immediately sank.

He appeared to be in a good mood, chatting and laughing with that woman. In no time, Stella identified the woman as his ex-girlfriend, Gabriella Nolan. Her face tilted toward him as she chatted merrily with him.

Upset, Stella only chatted absentmindedly with Yulia for a while before ending the call. After that, she sat in her bed with her legs crossed.

It’s true that we have parted ways, and I’m now studying abroad. Even so, Stella felt a tinge of jealousy. She could control her actions, but she could not change her feelings.

Ever since she went abroad, she felt extremely alone and homesick. The more she stayed in America, the more she missed her compatriots. While she was struggling alone at a foreign place, he was happily dancing the night away with another woman.

Stella was normally a very composed and proper girl. Back in Solaria, she was always worried that she’d get jealous and act out, which might expose her true feelings for him. If so, words would eventually reach him.

However, now that she was abroad without any acquaintances around, she was free to express her feelings. Right now, she just wanted to be jealous. In the heat of the moment, she decided to dump the medicine that she had just bought for him without a care.

Hence, the ten bottles of Prilosec all went into the bin.

This was Stella’s second time in a foreign city and country. Apart from the loneliness, she felt quite intrigued by the new environment. When she was not busy with studies, she would take the bus and travel around the area for some fun. After all, America was a melting pot of various ethnicities, which was a very different scene from Solaria.

When she wanted to share her feelings, she would take the bus and journal her thoughts on it. For example, she would write down her travels of the day and the new sceneries she came across.

Normally, she would share her ‘travel journal’ with Lisa, who would reply with admiration, ‘I’d love to go to America in the future.’
