Zuko’s imposing aura, which was intimidating even without anger, made everyone in the room stand still, afraid to

make a sound. After a while, Melissa gathered her courage.

“You… What else do you want?” she asked, her voice trembling.

Zuko looked at her. Melissa was just a regular middle-aged woman, overweight and exuding no sense of

sophistication. Compared to his mother, this woman appeared at least ten years older.

Despite her fear, she confronted him like an old sparrow protecting a young sparrow with fluttering wings. Zuko

suddenly remembered the saying about a mother’s love. Melissa’s love for Lina was no less than his mother’s love

for him.

“Oh, honey…” Jesse gently pulled Melissa and looked anxious as he whispered, “Don’t provoke him. You can’t

handle him—”

“Stop talking!” Melissa glared at him and then turned her wary gaze back to Zuko.

Zuko found it disdainful to argue with them. After a moment of silence, he simply put his luggage in the corner and

went to sit on the porch.

After a long time, the three people in the room finally regained their senses. They took deep breaths, looked at

each other, and quietly returned to their respective rooms. The whole afternoon passed peacefully.

…

Lina had been at the library all this time. There were too many troubles recently. Studying hard was the only way

for her to temporarily escape from those disturbing emotions. Gia was both envious and distressed seeing her like

this. She bought two cups of vanilla latte and gently placed one in front of Lina.

Lina said, “Are you trying to keep me awake at night with coffee in the afternoon?”

“Even if I didn’t buy coffee, you’d still have trouble sleeping! With an extra person at home, can you sleep?” Gia

chuckled.

“I…”

Gia leaned on the table and looked at her. “Lina, do you have to do this? That Zeke isn’t a good person, and he…”

Gia stopped halfway through her sentence, swallowing the rest. Lina lowered her head and drank the coffee,

holding the paper cup with both hands, but her fingertips still felt cold.

Actually, when she thought about it later, she was not sure what exactly had happened that night. People said that

the first time would hurt and there might be bleeding. When she woke up in the hospital, she did not feel anything

unusual. She had gone to the bathroom and checked—her pants were clean, so maybe she had not…

It was hard to say for sure.

In any case, it was absolutely certain that Violet had drugged her! Lina pressed her temples sip of coffee, and

continued to lower her head to write notes.

The librarians had already started their cleaning work, and one by one, the students left. Even Gia was going home.

Lina had no choice but to pack up and leave as well.

When she arrived home, the wall clock indicated 11:00 p.m. The small house was pitch black, and the sound of her

father snoring could be heard from the master bedroom downstairs. Lina smiled softly as she tiptoed inside, closed

the door, and removed her shoes. The living room light suddenly turned on as soon as she did that.

It startled her!

“Lina, why are you back so late?” Dave was standing there, looking relieved.

“I just got up to use the bathroom and heard some noise. I thought it was a thief…” Dave rubbed his eyes and

yawned. “Then I thought, how could that be? You just brought a guardian back!”

Speaking of the door guardian, Lina suddenly remembered Zuko. “Where’s Zeke? He’s not in my room, is he?”

“Of course not.” Dave smirked and pointed outside. “He’s sleeping over there!”

Lina was taken aback.

The small old-fashioned villa had a porch outside, and Zuko had taken the folding bed there to sleep at night.
