Rebirth of the Wife in Despair by Tess Munoz

Chapter 42 Vera Was Beaten Up

In the infirmary….

“Fortunately, it was just a false alarm. It’s nothing serious except that you’re on your period. It’s nothing serious, but the injuries on your faces… The doctor in the infirmary glanced at the teacher on duty beside him.

The teacher on duty stood up and said, “Mr. Leon, you should go back first! I’ll take care of the two of them.”

“Okay, Mr. Cory, then I’ll go back first. The medicine has been prescribed, and it’s on the table. Don’t forget to take it.”

The teacher on duty was Duncan, the director of the moral education department. He was a middle-aged man in his forties, with a big belly and glasses. He looked. There were blood stains on his clothes when he carried Vera to the infirmary.

Vera was on the first day of her period when she experienced cramps. She used to have painkillers on her, but the painkillers were in her schoolbag, and she did not take them yet.

Duncan kept looking at Vera. Vera lowered his eyes and held a glass of warm water in his hand, she did not know what Duncan was thinking.

Jasmine’s face was much better after just applying the medicine. She looked at Vera with a distressed face, “Jasmine, are you feeling better? You got bullied because I was useless.”

Vera said in a weak voice, “It’s not your fault, sir. It’s mine, I’m the one who got you involved

Duncan glanced at his watch: “It’s almost eleven o’clock, go back and rest first, I will tell your homeroom teacher about what happened to you tomorrow.”

Speaking of which, he had already walked to the bed where Vera rested, and squatted halfway, “Vera, I’ll carry you back to the dormitory.”

Vera took the water glass and shook it tightly, “No need, sir, I’m much better and I can walk by myself.”

Duncan insisted, “How can this be? I’m worried about you!” As he said that, he stretched out. his hand and was about to reach out to Vera.

Vera’s tone suddenly turned cold, “Sir, as I said, I can walk by myself!”

Jasmine was taken aback by the unfamiliar look in Vera’s eyes. She seemed like a completely different person from the Vera she knew. It felt like an illusion when Vera’s soft tone and faint. smile vanished in an instant. She pleaded. “Jasmine, can you please help me up?”

Startled for a moment, Jasmine quickly understood the situation and replied, “Ah… okay..”

Vera lifted the blanket, got out of bed, and put on her shoes. Duncan coughed awkwardly, but his eyes still held that inappropriate look he had shown earlier, appreciating the girl’s tender skin and body shape.

As they left the infirmary and passed by the classroom, Jasmine went upstairs to get Vera’s painkiller. Duncan spoke to the dormitory caretaker, and the door was quickly opened for
