Alexa froze in her tracks. She could feel the strange looks everyone was giving her. The room was buzzing with confusion.

Why was Alexa apologizing to Flora? And who was this man who seemed so important that even Alexa had to show him respect? Yet, he was so kind to Flora, calling her tenderly by her name, while he was icy toward Alexa. The crowd could sense there was definitely some drama here.

"Shawn..." Alexa bit her inner lip, almost pleadingly looking at Shawn, hoping he wouldn't embarrass her in front of everyone. But Shawn genuinely disliked her now, and no amount of acting could change that. It only made him despise her more.

He wasn't stupid. He knew Alexa's sudden appearance at the medical school was probably to cause trouble for Flora. Completely unrepentant.

"Because of you, Flora was kicked out of the medical lab. Don't you think you owe her an apology?"

She had done something wrong, so apologizing was the least she could do, right? Why did she act like she was the one being wronged?

Hearing Shawn's words, the crowd was even more astonished. So, Flora was kicked out because of Alexa? Thinking back to how Alexa had insulted Flora before, the crowd had an epiphany. Alexa was a schemer. Any admiration they had for her vanished, and they looked at Libby with disdain and contempt.

Libby hadn't expected that Flora being kicked out of the lab was connected to Alexa... But seeing Alexa so embarrassed that she trembled, she felt a wave of satisfaction. Her cousin had always been so arrogant, and for the first time, she was being put in her place.

"I, I..." Alexa clenched her teeth, struggling to get any words out. Then, in agony, she covered her face and ran off disheveled. At the same time, she swore in her heart to get revenge on Shawn one day! With Alexa gone, the onlookers began to disperse.

"I've never seen someone so shameless! Damn it!" Cynthia spat angrily. She knew it! There was no way Flora would have been kicked out of the lab without reason; she had been framed! Libby was no good, and her cousin was even worse, a real snake!

"Flora, this is for you." Shawn opened his backpack and handed a stack of documents to Flora. "These are all the study materials I've compiled. If you review them, they'll be really helpful."

The documents weren't of much use to Flora, but Cynthia and Eilies beside her were practically glowing with excitement. Flora glanced at them and took the documents, "Thank you, Shawn."

"Thank me for what? Just do well on the exams, and if you have any questions, come and ask me." Shawn's smile was bright. He'd been sleeping well lately, his complexion much improved, his eyes sparkling with vitality, less gloomy, and more youthful.

Just then, it was time for lunch, so Flora invited Shawn to eat together. Shawn wasn't going to turn that down.

"Cousin, don't be mad. Flora isn't even worth a hair of yours. It's not worth getting upset over her," Libby said, holding a box of tissues, carefully consoling Alexa.

Alexa wasn't just angry or sad. She felt incredibly humiliated. She had always been a top student, admired by everyone, and this was the first time she had ever been this embarrassed.

"Are your midterms coming up?" Alexa suddenly turned to Libby, her eyes dark and intense.

Libby, intimidated by her gaze, stiffly nodded.

"I'll personally tutor you. You must outperform Flora! You must! Do you hear me?"
