StarNovelWhen the Family 360 To keep his cover from being blown, Dalton was really putting in the work.
+8 Pearls As her thoughts slowly drifted back to the present, Jean stared at the chat window on her screen and began typing swiftly in response to Winston.
Wingflare: "I'm actually older than I sound. People always say my voice makesseem younger. You're not the first." The other side went quiet for a while.
It was not until half a minute later that Winston finally replied.
Deadmark: "Alright then..." Once that brief exchange ended, Jean switched over to her phone and started replying to a message from Sofia. She had sent her supdates about what had been going on at school.
Sofia shot her a few text messages.
"You left so fast last time, you didn't see the looks on those students' faces in the auditorium... I swear, I saw shand regret written all over them." "The things you said, they're really powerful. It hit people hard.” "The campus forum's taken a complete turn. No more hate posts about you. I used to open it, and half the feed was trashing you. Now? Poof. All gone." "Looks like you really woke everyone up." Jean read those words, and the corners of her lips curved slightly. She replied: "Thanks for telling me. If they're truly turning over a new leaf, then I suppose that's a good thing." Yeah, right.
Though her message sounded gracious, she could not care less what the students at Stellarford Academy thought.

She said them simply because she wanted to. Because she had bottled it all up for too long, and if she did not let it out, it was going to suffocate her.
She never expected, or hoped, for them to change their opinions of her.
Besides, odds were she would never have much to do with those people again.
Once she was forced out of the Ginger family, she would no longer be attending Stellarford Academy. All these petty grudges and schoolyard whispers would naturally fade away.
Still, it was surprising that her emotional outburst, initially intended for herself, actually stirred ssemblance of guilt in those students.
3/2 13:12 Sun, 25 May N Chapter 360 She Didn't Care Who knew they were even capable of shame? That was new.
Too bad it ctoo late, The one they truly owed an apology to was not her.
+8 Pearls It was the original Jean. The real girl who had lived this life before her, the one who had endured years of bullying and exclusion.
Compared to that long-standing torment, her own recent hardships were just a drop in the ocean.
After finishing the chat, Jean set her phone aside and flopped onto her bed.
Even though she had already rested for two full days, something still felt off. Her head was heavy and clouded.
All day, her gameplay had been full of mistakes. Sure, part of it her andering thoughts and lack of focus, but there was something else.
Her head was spinning.
She let out a long breath and slowly closed her eyes.
Just as she was starting to drift off into a fevered daze, her phone buzzed again with a Whatnotification.
She picked it up out of habit and glanced at the message.
It was from none other than Winston.

Deadmark: "Why aren't you online yet? That was just a mid-session break. We're about to start the next round. If something cup, just say so." Jean shook her head, trying to chase away the fog. Her mind cleared a little, barely.
Right. We had only played one round so far. That wasn't nearly enough for a full training session.
She instinctively reached up and pressed a hand to her forehead.
Hot. So I am running a fever. No wonder I felt so awful and out of it.
Honestly, she did not want to do anything at the moment, Ne more more chatting. She just gaming wanted to sleep. Even sitting up felt like a chore. All she wanted was to stay curled up in bed.
After shesitation, Jean finally decided to be honest with Winston and skip the rest of the training.
She tapped out a message quickly: "I'm running a bit of a fever. Can't really focus tonight. Let's skip the rest of the session. Sorry, I promise I'll make it up next time." But the reply did not cright away.
The other side remained silent.
