Chapter 4
Luna scoffed. Since Wyatt was at odds with Rhett, she wanted to get closer to the latter all the more.
She tossed the lunchbox into the trash and planned to search for more books on acupuncture.
Ethan was annoyed to see her ignore him and said, "I was talking to you. Didn't you hear me? You upset Wyatt this morning. Don't do anything else that'll upset him more."
Luna nearly laughed in exasperation. In her past life, she'd never done anything that they didn't like because she cared too much about their opinions and would do anything to please them.
But now, all she cared about was her feelings and would only do what pleased herself.
"I'll leave the materials downstairs to you, Ethan. I'm going upstairs to take a look." Luna barely acknowledged Ethan, gave him a cool glance, and went upstairs.
Her indifference stunned him. Through all his years of knowing Luna, she'd never looked at him like that.
Was she still mad about being forced to apologize that morning?
Hadn't she always cared about Wyatt's feelings? He was simply kindly reminding her, so why wasn't she being grateful?
With a cold snort, Ethan turned and left the resource center.
When Luna came back down with the books she'd been searching for, she wasn't the least bit surprised to see the empty room.
Ethan had always been selfish. With his mediocre background and ability, he had to rely on sucking up to Wyatt to stay in the team.
Back when she was the team's youngest, most pampered member and Wyatt favored her, Ethan constantly used her to speak well of himself. Even when his failed experiment had almost ruined the project, she'd begged Wyatt and Wilson to let Ethan stay.
But when she was framed by Mia and fell out with the team, Ethan was the first to stab her in the back.
Luna scoffed. If Ethan couldn't handle even the slightest indifference from her, what would he do when she returned every hurtful thing he'd done to her, one by one?
After that, Luna dismissed Ethan's behaviour and left the resource center. All the while, she was unaware that a pair of cold, furious eyes had been watching her from behind.
Ethan had assumed that once he stormed off, Luna would frantically call him to apologize and beg for help. There were a lot of materials in the resource center, and she couldn't possibly sort them all alone.
But to his shock, she didn't come looking for him at all and simply left the room.
This wasn't like the Luna he knew.
Could this be her true self? Had the obedient, docile lady just been a facade?
As if he'd discovered a massive secret, Ethan headed to the male dorm. "Just you wait, Luna. I'll strip away your mask and get justice for Mia!"
Wyatt had suggested that Luna apologize to Mia, so that clearly meant he cared about Mia the most. So, if he could please Mia, Wyatt would definitely be glad too.
Ethan had planned to persuade Luna to apologize to Mia so that they could mend things. That way, he'd have two people win his favor with Wyatt. But Luna didn't know what was good for her and ignored his advice, so he would not show mercy!
…
Luna returned to the dorm and stuffed her laptop into her bag before leaving. Just before she did, she told her dorm mate, "If anyone comes looking for me, just say I'm sick and went to the hospital."
After that, she did go to the hospital.
