Hence, she decided to just do her revision at the school. The school had allowed her to retake the examinations after clarifying what had happened.

When Susan had left for school, Yasmin remained at the apartment to continue cleaning up. She felt relieved knowing that she had the whole place for herself and Ian, so she was thinking of ways to approach Ian.
