The Consortium's Heir novel Chapter 66

Chapter 66

The next two days went on as usual for Darius. He went to classes as usual, practiced his martial arts and made some time to relax. Now that majority of his work had been delegated to Erin, he now had some free time for himself.

The situation with Helen was however a bit complicated. Although he was still shocked about the kiss from Helen, there was nothing he could do about it as Helen had put him in a bind.

He had gone to the hospital today as her roommate was being discharged. He drove her roommate to her dormitory personally with the hopes of fishing her out, but the result was the same as other days.

Since she kissed him on the night he saved her, Helen had avoided him like the plague. He had called her several times to keep her updated about the progress of her friend in the hospital, but she had refused to pick any of his calls. He only got reports from Erin that she visited the hospital regularly during the time her roommate was hospitalized.

Frustrated by her antics, he had no choice but to drive her roommate to the dorm. He figured out that at least she would welcome her roommate since she cared about her so much. Yet, even after waiting for ten minutes, Helen refused to come out. Left with no choice, he drove away from the dormitory. Since she had refused to see him then so be it.

Helen watched Darius drive away from the dormitory with frustration on her face. She herself was very confused as to why she suddenly kissed Darius that night. From what she had seen Darius was someone that was way above her class. He was very wealthy, tall and handsome, while she was a poor and struggling student. As such, she didn’t believe that someone like Darius would look favorably on her romantically, hence why she refused to pick his calls or talk to him.

However, Helen was wrong from the beginning, as Darius wasn’t calling her or drive here to discuss about the kiss. On the contrary, he just wanted to make sure that she was okay. Not everyone would be able to bounce back from what Luke did to her and her friend. He wanted to make sure that such unlucky events had not affected her in any way. Sadly, as she had refused to talk to Darius, she had misunderstood his intentions.

After his visit to Helen’s dorm, the rest of the day went on as usual for Darius. When classes were over, he decided to stay behind in the library to go over his notebooks and study. The semester exams were fast approaching after all, and although he no longer needed the scholarship to continue studying at the university, there was no harm in maintaining his status as a top student in the university.

As such, Darius immersed himself in his notebooks and textbooks. Due to how engrossed he was, time seemed to fly by, and by the time he removed his head from his books, he saw that it was already 9 pm.

He quickly started packing his books. The library closed by 9:30 pm every day, which meant that he had only thirty minutes left for him to leave, otherwise he would be locked inside the library. He was sure that it wouldn’t be a pleasant experience.
