The next day unfurled with the golden rays of the morning sun seeping into the room, casting a bright yer
slightly disorienting light across Madelyn’s face.
The digital clock on her nightstand read ten o'clock stark reminder that she was behind schedule.
I'm late!
Madelyn’s thought jolted her into immediate action. Without wasting another moment, she leaped out of bed,
hurried through her morning routine, grabbed her bag, and dashed downstairs.
As she descended the stairs, Derek was gently but firmly coaxed by Regina and Eunice to take his calming
medicine.
“I'm feeling quite well, | think I'll pass on the medicine for now,” Derek protested, his tone weary from the
ongoing routine.
“How can that be? This calming medicine needs to be taken consistently for it to work, Derek. You wouldn't want
to collapse again and worry the entire family, would you?” Regina's voice was laced with a coercive tenderness
that didn’t sit right with Madelyn.
Yeah, Dad, go ahead and take the medicine,” Eunice chimed in, her tone playful yet insistent.
Resigned, Derek conceded with a sigh, “All right, fine.” He reached for the bowl and dutifully swallowed the
medicine,
Madelyn, who had secretly switched the medicines to ensure her father’s safety, watched this interaction with a
mix of relief and disdain.
The insincere expressions plastered on Regina and Eunice’s faces stirred a profound sense of dismay
within her.
How could they continue to deceive him after all he’s done for them?
Had she not experienced it herself, Madelyn would have never believed that a person could stoop so low,

Madelyn slipped into her seat, her gaze inadvertently etching Janessa’s presence, which surprised her slightly.
This was unexpected, and a brief flicker of surprise crossed her features before she composed herself. Her
thoughts briefly dwelled on their strained interactions; after the tumultuous events of the previous evening, the
likelihood of Janessa being in any mood to renew their friendship seemed slim.
However, Madelyn soon realized she had grossly underestimated Janessa’s capacity for pretense.

With a sense of resignation, Madelyn obliged, following Janessa to a secluded corner of the hallway.
“So what did you want to talk about?” Madelyn broke the silence first.
Once out of earshot of their classmates, Janessa wasted no tin confronting her. “Madelyn, why did you lie to
attend?”
The mere memory of the previous night's deception seemed to ignite a fury in Janessa that made her visibly
tremble.
If she could, she would have strangled Madelyn right then and there.
Madelyn, maintaining an air of innocence, replied, “Oh no, Janessa, you've misunderstood me. | didn't mean to

Oh, really?
Janessa’s internal response was a cold, mocking laugh, her eyes glinting with unspoken malice.
Regardless of Madelyn’s words, she viewed her as nothing but a deceiver, a sentiment she masked under a
veneer of forgiveness.
Madelyn, you really should have calledlast night after you got hto explain the situation. You almost had

Janessa, attempting to restore their friendship-or perhaps maintain her facade-offered her hand, smiling “All
right, given the circumstances, | won't hold it against you. Let's still be good friends in the future, okay?”
Good friends?
The phrase unexpectedly sent a chill through Madelyn, sparking a silent, wry amusement at Janessa’s duplicity.
Oh. Janessa, your ability to endure such disgrace without showing your hand is truly something. Do you think I'm
unaware of your plans to manipulateonce more under the guise of friendship?
It's fine if that's what you think. After all, since you love to put on a show, | don’t mind playing along, letting you

With a light sneer and a spark of amusement in her eyes. Madelyn played along. “Of course, we've been best
friends for so many years. How could something so trivial affect us, right?” she responded with exaggerated
warmth.

Janessa also gave a forced smile as she nodded.
Together, they walked back into the classroom, presenting a united front as if their bond had never wavered.
This performance didn’t go unnoticed by Josiah, whose concerned expression deepened.

Pulling Madelyn aside, he warned in a low, urgent tone Madelyn, be careful in the future and keep sdistance

Madelyn’s response was a light chuckle, appreciating Joial’s perceptiveness. “Don’t worry, | know what kind of

After saying that, Madelyn returned to her seat.
With a casual shrug, Josiah had to accept her assurance, albeit reluctantly.
At that moment, the school bell rang, marking the start of the next period.
The professor took this cue to step onto the stage, clearing his throat before making an announcement about the
upcoming school celebration. “You all are aware, right? Our school’s annual celebration is just around the corner.
Each department is expected to present a performance. As per the random draw, our department has been
assigned to put on a stage play. There will be many distinguished guests invited to the event, so in this class,

Following that, the professor briefly shared the content of the script with the students.
Upon hearing the brief introduction of the female lead, someone unexpectedly raised their hand and suggested.
“I think Madelyn should play the female lead! Her image and demeanor are a perfect match for the character.”
“Exactly! | also think she’s a perfect match. Why not let Madelyn play the role?” another student echoed.

In just a short while, everyone's voices rose in excitement. They all believed that Madelyn was the indisputable
choice for the lead female role in the script.
Convinced by the class's unanimous approval, the professor declared, “All right, given the overwhelming
support, Madelyn, you'll take on the role of the leading lady!”
Madelyn was stunned.
Next, the discussion turned to the male lead. The professor then asked, “The male lead is a handsmilitary
officer. Who do you all think would be the most suitable for the role?”
“Josiah!” a voice called out, nominating Josiah for the role of the handsmilitary officer. The suggestion was
met with enthusiastic agreement.
“Yeah, | think he’s the best fit for the role!”
“Let Josiah play the leading guy!”
“Why so?” the professor inquired, puzzled by the swift consensus for a newcomer.
