Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed

Chapter 667

After sorting out Madge's issue, Roseanne flew back to Lumina City.

Finals were right around the corner, and the academy had already called off classes, diving straight into review week.

Though she was only gone for two days, which didn't impact her coursework, her research had suffered some setbacks.

Mamie and Scales' data awaited her review, so right off the plane, Roseanne hit the ground running towards the lab.

She didn't budge from there for the next two days, which worked out since her luggage was ready to go, saving her the hassle.
