Cordelia covered her mouth, shaking her head as she uttered, "No, no, nothing will happen, as long as there's no blood, Benjamin is fine." She struggled to maintain composure. As students around her started whispering, suggesting the worst, Cordelia couldn't bear the negativity.Attempting to silence the pessimistic voices, Cordelia lashed out, "Shut up! Don't you have a sense of reasoning? How can you wish for death for your fellow student? Are you alright?" The students fell silent under her stern gaze.As the sports teacher tried to assert his perspective, Cordelia interrupted with a mocking clap. "Clap for yourself, sir. Can you hear yourself? Aren't you a coward? You were running like a fish escaping danger, while I was trying my best to help the others out. Benjamin came inside to also help me without thinking of anything, but you're here spewing some kind of nonsense?" The sports teacher found himself a bit embarrassed by Cordelia's rebuke."How can I wait to sacrifice myself?

Seeing that there was no response from Benjamin, Cordelia urgently screamed, "Help me!" Students rushed to assist, quickly helping Benjamin up and guiding him inside his car, which Cordelia drove. The sports teacher offered to join them to the hospital, but Cordelia shot him a glare, signaling him to stay away. She gathered Benjamin's belongings, wore her clothes, and sat in the driver's seat.As they sped towards the hospital, Cordelia looked at Benjamin and reassured him, "My dear Benjamin, you'll be fine, nothing will happen to you." She accelerated, determined to reach the hospital as swiftly as possible. Within an hour, they arrived, and doctors promptly took Benjamin who was with his soaked singlet and torn short into the facility. Cordelia, with teary eyes, watched through the glass window as her injured student received medical attention.Inside the hospital room, medical professionals quickly attended to Benjamin. They used a suction device to carefully extract water from h

Nathan, trying to downplay Benjamin's involvement, smirked and said, "Well, if you say so. I just thought Cordelia would appreciate a more refined company for dinner, not someone who probably doesn't even know which fork to use." He still remembered how Benjamin tried to disgrace him that night so be decided to revenge. Cordelia looked angry and said firmly, "Mr., you can't come here to our table and speak anyhow to him. Please leave."Nathan was stunned and asked, "Why are you fighting so much for him, Cordelia? Why acting like he's your boyfriend?”"Of course, sorry I didn't tell you. Benjamin and I are now dating. Why are we both at a restaurant? Are you fine now?" she asked, her anger evident in her tone."Wow, Nathan, you will be stunned," Cordelia retorted, "You're joking, right?""No, Nathan, I'm not joking," she replied with a firm tone. "Benjamin and I are together now. It's best if you respect our relationship and move on.”Benjamin, though caught off guard, managed to main

The next day, when Cordelia woke up, Benjamin had unknowingly shifted in his sleep, his hands resting closely to hers, and his body close to hers. Cordelia was momentarily stunned but decided not to fuss over it. She carefully took his hands off and got up, not wanting to disturb his rest since he wasn't feeling well.Quietly, she left the room and went to take a shower in her own room, dressing nicely afterward. In the kitchen, Cordelia prepared something for Benjamin, considering his well-being.About two hours later, Benjamin woke up and realized Cordelia wasn't beside him. He felt a slight pain in his hand as he got up. “Awww, seems she injected me last night.” He whispered, walking away to brush his teeth. Heading to the hall, he didn't find Cordelia there either. Concerned, he went to the kitchen and found a folded piece of paper on the table."Hi Benjamin,I'm heading to the market to pick up some grocerie

Sarah continued pleading, tears streaming down her face. "Mr. Hayes, please give me a chance. I've learned my lesson, I'll never look down on anyone and I promise I'll be the best manager you've ever had. I'll work hard, I'll do anything you ask, just please don't kick me out.”Benjamin crossed his arms, his expression stern. "You think a few tears and apologies will erase what you and your friend did? I don't need someone who mocks and disrespects me working for me. Find another job; you're not welcome here.”Sarah's pleas intensified. "Mr. Hayes, please reconsider. I need this job, and I promise I'll change. I'll prove to you that I can be a valuable asset to your company. Please, I'm begging you."Benjamin sighed, unmoved. "Enough. I won't change my mind. I've seen your true colors, and I don't need that negativity in my business. You can leave now.”The old boss, sensing the intensity of the situation, took a step forward,
