Chapter 97
Loid and Lily returned to Anmer Heights after spending an hour and a half at Laurier Villa.
Upon their return, Shannon ran over and held Lily’s hand with worry, “Uly, I heard you scored 20 points on the math test. Is that true?”
Lily raised an amused brow. “Yes, that’s true.”
Her admission attracted a surprised look from Loid. He heard of her legendary admission to Ember Creek after scoring zeroes on her admission exams, but he could not believe the extent of her underperformance.
As Lily excelled in medicine and was able to comprehend medical books, Loid always assumed that she was somewhat knowledgeable. To his dismay, she seemed to fare very poorly in academics.
Twenty points on a math test? He rubbed his forehead with grave concern, wondering if she could successfully graduate high school.
“oh, what will you do? The SAT is half a semester away. How are you getting into a university with those scores?” Shannon yapped on while stealing a glance at Loid.
She felt gleefull upon noticing his troubled expression.
Lily shot shannon a glance before taking a seat on the couch. Lounging, she slurred, “Yeah, I probably can’t make it to university.”
“Lily, don’t be discouraged. I’ll offer you extra buition after school to boost your scores,” Shannon offered in a soft voice as though she was worried sick about Lily’s performance.
Lily burst out laughing. “Shannon, you’re in 20th place in 12th grade, am right? Your ranking dropped by ten places. Are you sure you’re qualified to teach me?”
Shannon’s expression shitted. Head hanging low, she whispered, “The questions were a little hard this time, and I made some errors. But I’m still qualified to teach you.”
“Tell me that again when you get first place in 12th grade,” Lily retorted lazily before ignoring Shannon altogether by playing her mobile game.
Shannon bit her lip with a spiteful look in her eyes. Soon, she collected herself and turned her attention to Loid. She grabbed her test papers from her bag
She inquired in a low voice, “Loid, can you walk me through some of the test questions? I struggled with a couple of them in this test. Once I get the solutions, I can better explain them to Lily.”
As Lold was an alumnus of the University of Bridgeport, Shannon hoped to improve her scores by enrolling his help.
However, Loid glanced briefly at her papers before responding, “Sorry, I don’t think Tean solve those questions.” His tone carried a polite yet distant air.
Disheartened, Shannon relented, “Fine, Flask my teacher instead.”
After that, Loid ignored Shannon and grabbed his laptop. He sat beside Lily
Shannon left for her bedroom, leaving behind Loid and Lily in the living room. They lounged around without disturbing each other. Occasionally, they’d both reach for a drink, just that Loid opted for water while Lilly chose beer.
He glanced at Lilly before commenting, “Excessive drinking is harmful to your health.”
“Yeah.” She grunted before going back to her mobile game, leaving him dumbfounded
Why would she continue drinking if she knew it was harmful?
After spending a silent night with Loid, Lily attended the parent–teacher conference the next day.
The conference for 12th graders was scheduled at 7:30 pm. Some parents started filing into the school as early as 7:00pm. The entrance of Ember Creek was abuzz with luxury
Cars.
Melanie, having contacted Lily earlier, had arrived at Ember Creek. Loid brought Lily out for a meal before sending her back to school Although the event was a parent–teacher conference, student attendance was mandatory C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
