No longer a pushover

Chapter 111

After sending the message, Noelle didn't get a reply. As she stared at their conversation, she sensed something had changed but couldn't quite pinpoint what.

Somehow, she had grown used to Cedric being around. During her most helpless and painful moments after her rebirth, Cedric appeared by her side, shielding her from the storms outside. He was both a mentor and a friend. Over time, her feelings toward him had shifted. With his absence over the past few days, Noelle found herself feeling restless and missing him more than usual. To distract herself, Noelle decided to go out and buy a few things. As she left the store with some snacks in hand, a car honked twice from the curb. She turned around and saw Frank. Noelle's expression turned cold. "Are you following me?"

"Noelle, this is Aldoria. Finding out where you are is just a matter of time," Frank replied, looking at her with a complex expression.

Frank had put in a lot of effort to find her, especially with someone like Cedric around. He had turned out to be more than just a school doctor. Yet, Frank still hadn't been able to figure him out. Noelle eyed him warily. "What do you want to say?"

"Noelle, I mean no harm. Your exam results are coming soon, and I just want to make sure you're okay. It's important to choose the right college," Frank continued.

Noelle recalled how Frank had agreed to Lucas' suggestion to enroll her in the same mediocre college as Xenia in her past life.
