He shot a wary glance at Edward and leaned in closer, whispering, “Y–you’re Gary’s girlfriend, right? I was taken aback when I saw him dragging his injured friend into the academic office. Gary even showed me the proof himself. That kid got expelled for his awful behavior.
“On behalf of Greenfield University, I want to sincerely apologize for the misunderstanding. I’m sorry we misunderstood you
“But he hasn’t been in school recently. I heard from some students that he had a serious allergic reaction and ended up in the hospital with a high fever and boils, he’s now in the ICU. I’m not sure if he’s out of danger yet…
Stephen’s brow furrowed in concern.
He was unaware of the specifics of Melody’s relationship with Gary, and since they had different last names, he assumed they were a couple.
After all, who would go to such lengths to defend someone who wasn’t close to them?
Melody felt a wave of surprise wash over her.
Gary has been hospitalized due to an allergy?
She remembered that he was only allergic to catkins.
Every spring for four years, she had tailored clothes for him that covered his skin and prepared allergy medication to help him.
While Gary might have forgotten these details, she had always been careful to look after him.
Catkins appeared only in April and May, and now it was October–there shouldn’t be any catkins around
Nevertheless, seeing the genuine concern on Stephen’s face, Melody met his gaze and replied with calm. assurance, “Professor Baldwin, he’s not my boyfriend.
“Regarding his allergy and hospitalization, it would be best for the school to notify his family.
“I have no relationship with him.”
Explaining the cheating incident was Gary’s own responsibility; his allergy was his own issue as well.
Stephen looked surprised but nodded in understanding, scratching his head sheepishly. “Look at me, getting forgetful in my old age.
But Melody, it’s been a while since you last visited Greenfield University. Your grades are fantastic, but don’t let yourself fall behind.
“By the way, there’s some exciting news: next month, Greenfield University will host an exchange conference with leading international universities. The board has decided to appoint Jacob as the lead mentor, and you will be the team leader representing Greenfield University to engage with top students.

from around the world.”
Melody was a standout talent in the finance program at Greenfield University.
Stephen had long recognized her impressive grades and never believed the cheating accusations against
her.
Unfortunately, during her earlier visit, she had almost confessed to cheating, which had nearly sent into a frenzy!
him
Now, Melody perked up with interest.
“Professor Baldwin, I heard there’s a scholarship for the winners at the exchange conference, funded by elite alumni.”
The alumni from Greenfield University included CEOs from world–renowned companies.
Naturally, the scholarship would be substantial.
“There is! The former CEO of Moore Group just donated 30 million to the Greenfield University Foundation.
I came here to discuss that.”
Stephen added with a warm smile, “But mostly, I just wanted to enjoy Mr. Moore’s amazing tea!”
With that, he took his leave.
Edward’s father had divorced his mother early on and retired shortly after. After retiring, he found joy in tea, music, and antiques, often hosting gatherings with university professors and literary figures at home.
Once Stephen left, Edward looked down at Melody, who seemed lost in thought.
Her gaze wandered toward a nearby pond dotted with wilted lotus plants, and she paused, letting out a soft sigh.
Allergies weren’t usually serious. She remembered being hospitalized once, her body swollen and red from a reaction, but after a week of IV fluids, she was fine.
In the end… it wouldn’t be the end for him!
