Lydia drifted off into her own thoughts for a moment.
Kevin spoke up again, “The research institute by the border found a strain that looks like P-K55. They’re running tests, and right now, they think it might be a new mutation. If that’s true, things could get messy fast.”
Lydia nodded. “Let me know what they find out. I’ll help if they need me.”
Kevin gave her a relieved smile, the kind that said he already knew she’d step up. “Alright. Let’s wait for their results, then we’ll talk it through together.”
“Okay.”
“Oh, and by the way, freshman training starts tomorrow. You don’t need to go if you don’t want to.”
Kevin was well aware of Lydia’s skills. The training would be nothing to her, just a game.
Lydia arched an eyebrow. “I don’t want any special treatment.”
Kevin laughed. “Fair enough. But I bet your class is going to take first place, no question.”
Lydia just shrugged. “We’ll see.”
Since she had training in the morning, Kevin sent her out of the lab early so she could get some rest in her dorm.
As Lydia left Lab Building 2, two girls spotted Kevin watching her go. They stopped in their tracks, stunned.
“Yara, isn’t that Mr. Moore? Was that student just leaving the special lab with him? Did I imagine that?” Tina, Yara’s classmate, stared at Lydia’s silhouette as it vanished into the night.
Yara frowned, her eyes following Lydia. “You saw right. That was the principal, and he brought a student out of the lab.”
Yara just smiled, gentle and unbothered. “It’s fine. One day, I’ll prove I belong in there, too.”
Tina sighed like it was a tragedy. “Yara, you’re way too nice. You have connections but you never use them. Just like that campus queen poll. Lydia disappeared from the forum and everyone blames you, but you don’t say a word to clear things up. You just let them talk.”
Yara smiled again. “People will believe what they want. Let’s go back to the dorm.”
…
Lydia had only just stepped into her room when her phone buzzed. Connor was calling.
She picked up and walked out onto the balcony.
Inside, Daisy lounged on her bed with a face mask on, watching Lydia. Daisy scoffed quietly. How long was she gonna up that perfect act? Strutting around like she owns the place, you’d think she was some billionaire’s daughter.

thank u!...
Olha a história bem boa só algumas coisas são chatas ( nesse tipo de história sempre troca as filhas pela a da empregada ou então pegam uma menina pra criar) pelo menos eles tratam a filha bem só enche o saco que até agora a Lucinda tá lá enchendo ! Fora isso tá bom Connor é um fofo a família dela a ama muito só Lucinda pra abaixar o nível do livro já era pra ter resolvido isso e fazer ela pagar mais tudo bem li um livro chinês que era parecido só algumas coisas diferentes ,ais mesma coisa tipo ela salvou o Connor no início lá ela salvava o avô dele , no chinês ela não tinha um irmão mais novo com os pais adotivos , a mãe dela tinha 2 irmãos e todos os avós estavam vivos mais história quase igual e tem coisas tipo o triângulo que lá TB tinha até a Lucinda que no chines TB ficou o livro todo aprontando só no final a família descobria e se livrava dela aí ela ia morar com o cara que ela usa pra disfarçar que não gosta do Connor aí depois ainda quase matava a irmã dele e a mãe dele que ele via como ela era...

Every chapter is missing a sentence from the end of every chapter. It’s frustrating to try guess what’s missing or said...
