Chapter 17
Juan stayed at the hospital with Shelia overnight. In the morning, he received a call from Joe. "What entrance exam?"
"The school office called today, saying that Mrs. Nichols's name was on the examinees' list. They wanted to ask if Mrs. Nichols had informed you."
Debra was shopping with Melody last night. Juan wondered when she signed up for the exam.
"I see."
Juan hung up, his expression tense.
He didn't know what games Debra was playing again.
"Was it the school calling? Maybe I should go back to class."
Shelia, lying on the hospital bed, woke up at some point.
I've informed Joe and the school. You should rest in the hospital today. It's not about you anyway."
""What is it about then?"Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
Shella looked at Juan in confusion.
Juan only sponsored her at school.
"Debra." Juan rubbed his forehead, "I'll go back. Take a rest."
Shella nodded.
After Juan left, she murmured, "Debra? What does she have to do with the school?"
Debra was strolling around Arcane Academy. Because of her connection to Juan, the principal and vice principal introduced the teaching facilities and campus scenery to her. Debra was pretty, and when she tied her hair up in a ponytail, she looked like a youthful college student.
The passing students couldn't help but glance at Debra, wondering about her identity.
Juan's car soon arrived outside the campus.
Wendy Burgess, seeing Juan's car, felt a sense of familiarity. "Hey, isn't that the car of Shelia's boyfriend?"
They had seen Shelia riding in that car more than once.
"Yeah. I saw Shelia get in this car yesterday." Carrie Cohen was puzzled. "Didn't Shelia say het boyfriend was taking her to the hospital? She's discharged so soon?" They felt curious when they saw only Juan getting out of the car.
Juan had a reserved demeanor, exuding an aura of unapproachability. Standing tall, he looked noble from head to toe.
Debra was led out of the school gate by the school leaders. Seeing Juan approaching, she didn't intend to
hide.
After all, given his relationship with the school, Juan would find out soo
or later.
Seeing both the principal and vice-principal present, Juan pulled Debra aside and demanded, "Come with me."
To outsiders, their actions seemed intimate.
"Oh my, isn't that Shelia's boyfriend? Who's this girl?"
"She's so pretty. I've never seen her at our school."
Carrie took out her phone, snapped a picture, and sent it to Shelia.
[Shelia! Look, isn't this your boyfriend?]
Shelia, in the hospital, received the message.
Upon seeing the photo, she sat up from bed.
She wondered why Debra had suddenly gone to her school.
[Shelia, ask your boyfriend what he's up to. I feel like something's fishy between them.]
