Kimberly had been studying a lot. Every day, she would meet with Sister Crystal after work to study together.

Although Sister Crystal didn't have much hope for her at the beginning, Kimberly's progress had shocked her. Kimberly had worked tirelessly and harder than she had expected, and Kimberly had never complained.

There had been a few times where Kimberly almost fell asleep in Sister Crystal's office. She would eventually doze off on the desk every time.

Sister Crystal could see the dark circles around her eyes, so she had to tease her.

She asked, "You've been staying up a lot, doesn't Maddox feel sorry for you?"

Kimberly paused for a moment when she heard Maddox's name, and then she smiled faintly.

She didn't answer.

This was the longest time her quarrel with Maddox had lasted ever since she had married him.

Maddox treated her like she was invisible, and she didn't want to talk to him either.

Although they lived in the same room, they ignored each other and were more distant than strangers.

But thinking about it, Kimberly didn't feel bad about the situation. At least, she didn't have to think of the problems between her and Maddox. She could focus on work instead. Sister Crystal added, "A young girl like you should treat yourself better. If you continue like this, you will get old quicker. By then, Maddox will come at me for making you suffer." Kimberly paused for a moment, then she smiled and said, "Sister Crystal, please stop making fun of

me.

Sister Crystal said, "I'm not! I don't have the time for that. You should stop for today. Go back and have some rest. Look at your eyes. You should look at yourself in the mirror." Kimberly didn't think much about it. She thought that Sister Crystal was lying to her.

However, the next second, when Sister Crystal put a mirror in front of her, Kimberly was shocked at her reflection.

The woman in the mirror was pallid, her dark circles were heavy, and her lips were unusually dry.

She stammered, "This is..."
