Revenge is Best Served… After Reborn

Chapter 1767

Fiona was still reeling from James's cryptic message, "Don't leave after class."

"Did he mean you shouldn't leave, or was he talking about me?"

"I'm not leaving, and neither are you."

Fiona's face went even paler.

Alec glanced at Fiona, sprawled on the hospital bed, and said, "If we're putting on a show, let's do it right. Your acting might be awful, but don't bother going to class this afternoon."

Fiona nodded vigorously, like a chick pecking at grain. If the afternoon class was with James, she'd much rather fake sickness here.

Suddenly, an alarm blared over the loudspeakers, followed by the principal's precise announcement: "Attention, students. Please be advised that due to a scheduled emergency drill, you must leave the school premises immediately after dismissal."

"I repeat, due to a scheduled emergency drill, please leave the school premises immediately after dismissal."
