“C–Cam… “Austin snapped back to reality.
sis face. “Oh, you’re here.”
When he saw Cameron,
Cameron, he quickly wiped the smile off his
Then, spotting Elijah behind Cameron, he called out, “EN”
Cameron nodded. “Austin, are you feeling any better?”
Leaning back on the bed, Austin pressed a hand to his forehead. “Stall hurts a bit.”
Elijah said, “You even passed out from the fall. Of course it hurts.”
Austin put on a weak look
Cameron said, “Austin, mind if I check your pulse?”
“Huh? Why?” Austin asked. Still, he held out his hand to Cameron.
He wondered, “Wait, does Cam actually know medicine? No way, right? That’d be insane!
While Austin’s thoughts were running wild, Cameron’s fingers landed on his wrist.
Ater checking, Cameron thought, ‘It’s a relief. Austin’s body is a bit weak, but today’s fall shouldn’t be a big deal.
“Kid, are you checking his pulse? You know medicine? Is your family in the circle?” The school doctor, a smiling old man in his fifties, watched Cameron’s actions with interest.
Cameron turned around and denied it. “Nope.”
She knew way too much. But it was hard to explain to anyone why she knew all this. So she figured it was easier to just deny things.
The school doctor didn’t push it. He said to Austin, “Your injury’s not serious. How about letting your classmates help you back to the dorm!”
Austin looked at Cameron. “Is that okay, Cam?”
Before Cameron could answer, Elijah cut in, “Cameron is a clean freak. Let me help you.”
Austin rolled his eyes in his mind.
Cameron nodded. “Guess Elijah can handle it alone.”
Austin said, “Winght, thanks, CR.”
In the end, it was Elijah who helped Austin back to the dorm.
The dorm was empty when Bradley came back. He was just about to text Cameron when the three of them walked in.
Bradley glanced at Austin, who looked a bit under the weather. “Hey, Austin, you alright?”
Austin managed a weak smile. “Thanks for your concern, Brad. I’m fine.”
Bradley asked, curious, “So what happened between you and Xander? Why did things get so heated?”
He asked the same thing Cameron and Elijah wanted to know.
Austin looked at Cameron and said, “Because he picked on Cam.”

Cameron was stunned to hear that. She thought, Wall, it was because of met i honestly didn’t expect that at a
Bradley pushed up his gold–rimmed glasses. “So Xander picked on Cameron, and you tried to stand up for him, but you onded up getting pushed down by Xander instead?”
Austin sat down, his long lashes drooping. “I’m such a loser”
Bradley stared at Austin, his eyes deep, and didn’t say anything else.
Elijah shook his head. “Austin, in this kind of situation, you should go straight to Ms. Murphy You know what Xander is like.”
In the end, it was Austin who got the short end of the stick.
Austin said, “I didn’t really think it through, I just couldn’t let Xander push Cam around.”
Hearing that, Cameron looked at the frail boy, not sure what to say for a moment. She really didn’t expect it was all because of her.
Bradley watched Cameron’s face and asked, “Cameron, are you moved?”
Cameron was startled by the question.
Austin immediately looked over at Cameron, a spark flickering in his amber eyes.
He thought, ‘Maved? Would Cam really be moved by this? I confronted Xander just to teach him a lesson. Could that really move Cam?”
Cameron said sincerely, “Austin, thank you. But honestly, I don’t think it was worth it to get pushed over by Xander for my sake.”
“It was! Totally worth it!” Austin said right away.

Chapter 342
Kander frowned at Linda “Can you just rip it? I’m talking to my hunt. Why are you bulling in“.
Linda shot back coldly, “Aunt? Calling the dean aunt‘ in front of me on purpose, are you trying to throw your weight around? Don’t forget, my do get your mint fired with just one word.”
Anyone who can study at Langford Academy has some serious connections. Linda wasn’t scared of Xander at all
Xander actually laughed out of anger. “Get my aunt fired? You really think your dad –
“That’s enough, Xander,” Tiana cut them off.
Xander turned to his aunt. “Aunt Tiana, I really just gave Austin a little push.“”
Linda snapped, “And that little push‘ is why Austin is still lying in the infirmary, huh?”
Xander rolled his eyes and thought, ‘Goth, this girl is so annoying
Tiana said, “Linda, the school will handle this. You two should get back to class.”
After all that drama, it was almost time for class anyway
Linda stared at Tiana. “Ms. Murphy, you’re not going to play favorites, are you?”
Xander got annoyed. “Watch your mouth.”
In his heart, his aunt had always been fair and impartial.
Tiana frowned. “Xander, that’s enough”
She turned to Linda. “Linda, I promise I won’t play favorites with anyone.”
“Good.” Linda shot Xander a look and left with her crow.
Xander grumbled, “Aunt Tiana…”
“Xander” Tiana rubbed her temples and cut him off. “It’s time to transfer.”
Xander was furious, and he thought, ‘She comes up with that again? Last time it was because of Cameron. Fine, that was understandable.
“But now, because of Austin, I have to transfer too? is switching schools really that easy?”
Tiana said, “Go apologize to Austin first and get his forgiveness. Then transfer. This is non–negotiable.”
Xander protested, “Aunt…”
Tiana said, “Xander, if you still see me
as your
aunt, don’t make things harder for me.”
Xander sighed and left the office.
