Just moments ago, she had been quietly wiping away tears, but now she suddenly burst into a carefree laugh.
Cassius's outstretched hand froze in mid-air, then awkwardly retracted.
She didn't need comfort at all.
Seeing her strong smile, he couldn't help but think of the girl from three years ago.
Forcing down his emotions, he turned his eyes away, refusing to look at her again.
Yet when he heard her mention leaving just now, an unexpected sense of reluctance stirred in his heart.
He wanted to encourage her, but the words that slipped out were, "You think you can get into medical school just like that? It takes connections, not just empty talk."
Nevaeh huffed, clearly displeased with his sharp words. She turned and declared firmly, "I will get into medical school, no matter what!"
As she walked away, Cassius sank into deep thought.
