Chapter 60

On the other side of the lake, a small group of people approached, and Timothy was among them.From a distance, he spotted Madelyn sitting there, engaged in conversation with a guy in a wheelchair.However, due to the distance, he couldn’t make out their words. He only observed the occasionalsmiles on Madelyn’s face, radiating pure joy.

Jadie walked alongside the group, accompanied by her roomtnate, Claire Yelton. The two girls strolledtogether, while Forrest and others followed behind. Claire marveled at the surroundings, exclaiming,“Wow, this is Ventrocloud High School! It’s absolutely beautiful! The swan lake is even bigger than ourschool’s football field, right, Jadie?”

“It’s definitely big. If I didn’t know the way, I might have gotten lost,” Jadie replied with a hint of humor.

Timothy nudged Adrian with his elbow, signaling him to look in that direction. Adrian followed Timothy’sgaze and also spotted Madelyn. He felt curious about the man beside her. He wondered, ‘Who is thatguy? How come I’ve never seen him before? Could it be that Madelyn knows Forrest isn’t interested inher, so she found a replacement? But even if she found a replacement, why choose someone who isn’tfully abled? She seems a bit silly, doesn’t she?!

“I really appreciate you taking the time to talk with me,” Madelyn said gratefully.

At that moment, George approached and leaned down, whispering something in Ethan’s ear. Ethanglanced in a particular direction and furrowed his brows slightly before saying, ” Alright.”

Following that, he cast a warm and gentle gaze at Madelyn, resembling a sunny spring breeze. “I’msorry, something urgent has come up, so I won’t be able to accompany you.”

Madelyn waved her hand dismissively. “It’s okay, really… I should be the one thanking you.”

“Well, then… I’ll take my leave,” Ethan said, his eyes brimming with affection, and a playful smiletugging at the corners of his lips.

“Alright, take care,” Madelyn replied, standing up and watching Ethan depart. As she saw him. vanishfrom sight, she found herself thinking, ‘I never expected to meet him here at Ventrocloud High. Ithought he was the same age as me, but it turns out he’s three years older. But talking to him feels socomfortable…”

Madelyn shifted her gaze away and began gathering her belongings, preparing to leave.

Serena somehow managed to find her and approached, holding a bottle of milk in her hand. Madelynlooked at Serena, who was drenched in sweat, and realized Serena must have gone out of her way tothe store to buy it for her.

“Madelyn… I genuinely want to be friends with you… I’m not like them. Can we be good friends? I canapologize for what happened today. I’m sorry,” Serena pleaded.

Serena herself couldn’t be considered conventionally attractive. She had an average appearance, withchubby cheeks adorned with freckles. However, due to her family’s influential presence within theschool, no one would dare to bully her. Despite this, her presence often went unnoticed, and sheseemed to fade into the background.

Madelyn, on the other hand, was different. She inherited her beauty from her mother.

Standing beside Madelyn, Serena appeared meek and submissive, while Madelyn seemed like the onebullying her. When Madelyn wore an expressionless face, she emitted an aura that made peoplecautious about approaching her.

However, when Madelyn smiled, it was as if she could enchant others. Consequently, she often. choseto maintain a cold demeanor.novelbin

Holding the bottle of milk, Madelyn pursed her lips and spoke, “Serena, I’m accustomed to being alone,and… I don’t plan to remain in Ventropolis after graduation. It’s possible that I’ll relocate to Lorville.True friendship requires time and effort to maintain, and if we don’t have that time, we may end up asstrangers in the end.”
