"Hey, she's not even a doctor! How can she stick needles into Halley like that?"
Liona shouted loudly, as if she wished she could shove me away herself.
The other girls around us stayed silent, but their expressions were full of doubt.
To them, using medical needles wasn't something a young girl should touch.
What if I inserted them wrongly? What if something went wrong?
Liona couldn't stand it anymore and charged forward.
"This bitch, don't you dare poke random needles into Halley! Do you even know what kind of status he has? If you hurt him, can you take responsibility?"
"Don't come any closer."
My voice turned cold.
"If you move another step, I'll put one of these needles into you. I mean what I say."
My sudden pressure made her flinch. She instinctively took a step back.
"You rotten bitch…" Liona cursed under her breath.
I ignored her and continued the procedure.
Soon, Halley's flushed face faded back to normal, and the scorching heat radiating from his skin began cooling.
His temperature dropped.
I finally allowed myself to relax a little.
Thankfully, his condition had been treated in time.
With how serious the heatstroke was, a little later and his life might have been endangered.
I clicked my tongue softly, then removed each needle one by one.
Seeing me take the needles out, Liona frowned sharply.
"Why are you removing them already? Halley hasn't even woken up!"
Putting the needles back into my kit, I smiled faintly.
"Are you the one trained in medicine here, or am I? If you don't understand anything, don't stand there spouting nonsense. It's irritating."
Liona's expression twisted.
No one had ever dared talk to her like that she was the cherished princess of the Robbery family, adored by everyone.
This bitch was dead.
"If Halley doesn't wake up, your life is over," she hissed.
At that moment, Halley began to slowly regain consciousness.
His unfocused eyes blinked drowsily at me, my face, my sharp features, especially the teardrop mole beneath my eye.
He stared at me as though he were seeing something unreal.
"An… angel…" he murmured faintly.
"Halley, you're finally awake!"
Triệu Tiểu Uyển cried out, overwhelmed with relief.
The girls behind her reacted the same Halley was their white-horse prince; nothing could be allowed to happen to him.
I dusted off my hands and stood up.
He was no longer in danger, so I had nothing left to do here.
I still had to submit my school documents.
When my silhouette disappeared from the field, the girls slowly snapped out of it.
It really did seem like I knew what I was doing.
Just a few needles, and Halley was brought back my technique had been swift and precise.
Hearing this whispering praise, Liona nearly exploded.
"What's so great about that? It must have been a coincidence. Let's wait until the school doctor comes. Then we'll see if Halley is actually fine!"
Ten minutes later, the school doctor rushed over, out of breath.
There were many students with minor illnesses today; he had been going from one to the next nonstop.
"How is Second Young Master Ji?"
The doctor, a middle-aged man, looked panicked.
The Ji family was as prominent as the Andersons, and the second young master was deeply cherished.
If anything happened to him, the doctor's career would be finished.
Halley was now awake, though still a bit hazy.
"I'm fine… What happened to me?"
"Halley, you had a severe heatstroke earlier,"
Liona explained, then ordered the doctor,
"Hurry and take him to the infirmary. Give him a full body examination."
In the infirmary, Halley lay receiving fluids.
The doctor examined the results and finally went limp with relief.
"Young Master Ji, there's no problem with your health."
Halley nodded, his complexion gradually returning.
Liona still seemed worried.
"Are you sure? Earlier he was burning hot, and his face was so red..."
"Because treatment was applied in time, there's no issue,"
the doctor stated firmly.
He wouldn't dare toy with Halley's life.
Treatment in time?
Was that girl actually that skilled?
Liona bit her lip angrily.
She already disliked that girl arrogant, daring to touch Halley, daring to shout at her.
"Who saved me earlier?"
Halley asked suddenly.
"I think… I saw an angel…"
His wide, dark eyes blinked.
He could still clearly picture the teardrop mole under that girl's eye.
"It was a girl who happened to walk by. I've never seen her before—maybe a transfer student,"
Liona said honestly.
She truly didn't know who I was.
Halley's shoulders fell.
"Oh."
Liona narrowed her eyes.
Was it her imagination, or did Halley seem especially affected?
He kept calling that girl an angel.
Thinking back, that girl was striking an aggressively beautiful face like a Western portrait, exquisite and unforgettable.
A sense of danger tightened in Liona's chest.
"Stop thinking about her. You'll meet again if fate wants it," she said. Halley nodded.
When his IV finished, he finally returned to class.
Their class was Class A, the elite class. As soon as they entered, they froze. Standing at the podium was a girl in a pale pink lace dress. Her hair was tied in a ponytail with a ribbon. She looked bright, beautiful, full of vitality. Her face was lovely and the teardrop mole under her eye was unforgettable. Halley recognized me instantly. His eyes widened with excitement.
"You... you're the angel who saved me!"
…Who?
I was introducing myself when someone suddenly called me an angel.
I blinked, then spotted Halley, the little puppy who fainted earlier.
"So it's you? Are you feeling better now?"
My voice was gentle and sweet.
Halley nodded eagerly, cheeks glowing.
"I'm completely fine. It's all thanks to you, you're my savior."
I waved my hands awkwardly.
"It was nothing. I'm trained in medicine, that's all."
"No, no... you saved my life. That makes you my benefactor. If you ever need anything at school, just call me. I'll come immediately."
He patted his chest proudly, glowing like sunshine. I smiled awkwardly, not agreeing but not refusing. The girls behind him clenched their teeth.
They had tried countless ways to approach Halley without success... yet I, a new transfer student, received his devotion instantly.
It was infuriating to them.
Liona stood at the back, face darkened completely.
She didn't expect the girl she hated to appear here, in their class.
What terrible fate. And I, of course, instantly noticed Liona's hostile stare.
