Favo Novel
Chapter 23
Carlisle finally understood what was happening.
The police were suspicious that he was related to the fat man due to his knowledge regarding the incident from his past life.
“Christine has a poor family background. She usually walked to school
often ended up late! Today is
our SATS. I was worried she would not make it to school in time. So, I wanted to go over and fetch her.”
Carlisle’s brain had worked quickly to think of a perfect and logical explanation for why he went to meet
Christine.
The policeman and his colleagues relaxed slightly after hearing Carlisle’s explanation.
After talking to a few people, they also understood that Christine was often late to class. Her teacher knew about her circumstances and had never punished her for it.
Lucy left the police station with Carlisle and Christine.
Christine’s expression was deathly pale. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
The police officer had just told her that the man from this morning was an extremely perverted rapist. He
had assaulted five women in three years.
Due to the lack of surveillance cameras and his ability to avoid being captured, the police had failed to
arrest him for three years.
The consequences would be horrifying if Carlisle had not arrived in time.
Lucy was also terrified when she heard what had happened. She held onto Christine’s hands and said, Christine, you’ll have to be more careful and alert in the future!”
Christine was still frightened by the whole ordeal. She could only nod as she felt something being stuck in
her throat.
Lucy then turned to look at Carlisle and showered him in praise.
“Carlisle, you did well. I’m so proud to have a student like you. I’ll return to the school and request that you receive an award for your bravery. I want everyone to know how courageous and kind you are!”
He had gotten injured because he had fought with a seasoned rapist. However, Carlisle had told everyone that he had gotten the injuries from a bicycle accident.
He was trying to hide his good deeds!
In the past, Lucy had always been disappointed in Carlisle’s behavior.
Now, she looked at him as if he was her own son.
“It is cowardly to see what is right and not to do it. Being courageous has always been an important value
within our society.
“It shows our integrity as a nation, and we should embody that as a citizen of our country. Our country has given us the opportunity to receive education.
“That’s why we should hold onto our country’s beliefs and influence our society. That way, we can make our country a better place.” Carlisle’s words came from the bottom of his heart.
Lucy’s gaze sparkled as she turned to look at Carlisle with respect and s
Back then, Carlisle would always sleep during lessons and skip school just to go to a cybercafe.
Now, he was one of the top–performing students in her class. How could he change so much in a month?
Christine’s gaze shone with an unknown emotion after hearing Carlisle’s words.
She suddenly seemed to have thought of something as her face flushed red. She looked down at her toes.
Lucy used her own money to treat Christine and Carlisle to a meal. Then, she booked a room for Christine in a hostel nearby.
It was still bright outside, so Carlisle had planned on riding home. But he ran into Sean on his way out.
“Carlisle, where did Mrs. Turner bring you and Christine?”
“To the police station!”
“What the heck? Did you cheat or something?” Sean asked as his eyes widened in shock.
But then, he scratched his head and said, “That’s not right. I don’t think getting caught cheating would lead you to the police station. Am I wrong?”
“Do I look like I need to cheat?” Carlisle glared at Sean and explained to Sean what had happened.
Sean burst into laughter as he listened to Carlisle’s story. He said, “To me, you deserve full marks for your
creativity!”
“What do you mean?” Carlisle didn’t understand what Sean was trying to say,
“Your imagination is wild. You should write your own novel since you have such a vivid imagination.” Sean believed that Carlisle was trying to fool him.
“Fuck you. Believe what you like!” Carlisle smiled as he kicked Sean.
Sean turned around to dodge and put his arm around Carlisle’s shoulders. “I saw an arcade when I went out to eat just now. Let’s go and play at the arcade.”
“Do you not plan on going home tonight?”
“What are you talking about? I’ve already booked a hostel for two. You’ll stay with me tonight!”
Then, the two of them head over to the arcade together.
His youth would only last so long. He decided he would enjoy his youth now that he had been reborn.
They played in the arcade until midnight before returning to the hostel to sleep.
