Chapter 91

Cloudcrest High School.

After the last class, Coral and Arabella left the classroom together.

Arabella held her phone in her hand, distraught. Recently, Doreen had been bombarding her with calls, saying that Faye was seriously ill and hoping she could visit. But she didn’t go.

She had seen the prescription written by Dr. William herself. It was for a disfigured patient who had been cured. She was confident that the prescription was correct. However, Doreen insisted that Faye had developed symptoms of high fever, vomiting, and diarrhea after taking her medication. This infuriated her.

Faye’s illness was her own problem. Why should Arabella be held responsible?

At first, she patiently explained a few times when Doreen called her. But when the calls became frequent, she got impatient and decided not to answer them anymore.

However, since noon, her phone hadn’t rung. A sudden unease was gnawing at her.

Could something really have happened to Faye?

“Arabella, what’s up with you? You seem a bit out of it.” Coral noticed her unusual mood and

asked.

Arabella was brought back to reality by her voice and shook her head with a smile. “Nothing, I was just thinking about the problem the teacher talked about today.”

Then she changed the subject. “Coral, how’s your uncle doing? Still got his job?”

Upon hearing this, Coral immediately got upset. “Don’t even mention it. My uncle got sacked and our family business has run into some issues. My brother is staying at home, not going
