Too Late to Hold Me Back novel Chapter 155

"Relax. Look around, nothing happened."

Mira brushed it off without a second thought.

This girl had clearly never been through anything real. She was entirely too fragile.

Elara patted her chest in relief. "Good. That's good."

A moment later, she asked again, "Mara has gotten so many blood transfusions and she still isn't better. Do you think she's going to die?"

Mira had assumed she was about to ask something important. She couldn't believe Elara was still obsessing over this.

"Seriously, Elara, did this keep you up all night?"

Why was she so overly invested in this drama?

"No, no, I was just thinking about Mara before bed, and I drifted off."

"Haha, who knew Mara worked so well as a sleep aid?"

"No, it's just that the whole situation is so shocking. I've never heard of anything like this in my entire life."

Mira gave her a sidelong glance.

Poor kid. There were plenty of things in this world she had never heard of.

"You still haven't answered me. Is she going to die or not?"

Was she developing an actual obsession with this?

"She probably won't die. You know what they say—bad grass never dies."

Tap, tap, tap. The two girls instantly snapped to attention. Mr. Harth had walked in without them noticing.

"Mira, you're the class president. The bell already rang and you're still whispering back there."

"My mistake! I'll pay attention next time."

Mira immediately stood up to accept the scolding, shooting a covert glare at Elara.

The teacher didn't press the issue, effectively letting her off the hook.

By now, the subject representative was already passing out the papers. Today was unit test day...

The moment the final bell rang, Mira packed her bag. She had a mountain of tasks waiting for her back home.

But then her phone buzzed. Mr. Harth was summoning her to his office.

Just her luck. What was it this time?

When she walked in, the teacher was busy grading papers.

Mira flashed a bright smile. "Mr. Harth, did I get a perfect score?"

Mr. Harth glanced up at her but didn't answer right away. A full minute passed before he finally spoke. "What exactly did you do today?"
