Dahlia suddenly realized that she wasn't there to confront Morwenna, and in truth, she lacked the right to do so. Lowering her head slightly, she let go of her pride for a moment and said with a sorrowful expression, "Morwenna, I won't bring up those things anymore. When you first arrived at Rosefrost University and didn't know anyone, I was the one who showed you around, who sat with you at lunch, who walked with you to classes. And now you suddenly want to cut ties with me? That's just too much."
Morwenna genuinely didn't understand what she had done wrong. She earnestly replied, "Dahlia, I've never forgotten your initial kindness towards me. That's why, since the semester started, I've been cleaning our room, wiping down your desk every day, bringing back breakfast if I get up early and you're still asleep, and sharing my umbrella with you on rainy days. Haven't I done enough?"
Morwenna was the type to repay a small kindness with grand gestures. But those gestures, while seemingly ordinary, were noticed only by those who cared about her. To those who didn't, Morwenna's efforts were easily overlooked or taken for granted, as if her actions were expected.
Dahlia had only seen her slight kindness towards Morwenna, completely missing the fact that Morwenna had already repaid her many times over. She hadn't expected Morwenna to stand her ground this time.
With eyes reddened by anger, Dahlia looked more like the one wronged as she exclaimed, "Morwenna, is it just because I broke your phone? How much is it? I'll pay you back right now!"
Before Morwenna could respond, Lorna suddenly slammed her fork down and burst out angrily, "So it was you who broke Morwenna's phone! Are you out of your mind? Why would you do that? Do you think you can just throw money at the problem? Do you know that phone was custom-made?"
