Chapter 296: The School Doctor

Nina

Even though most of the students went home to their families, I decided to stay on campus with my friends for winter break. I still wanted to work on the antidote every chance I had, just in case it would be needed to finish taking down the Crescents. At least, that was what I told myself and everyone else; but I secretly just wanted a reason to be in the infirmary even though there were no sick students on campus to take care of.

Being in the infirmary made me feel close to Tiffany. With each passing day, I missed her more and more, and I wished that her body could have been found to at least give her a proper burial. I hated what the Crescents did to her, and no matter what, I would never forgive the people who killed such a sweet and kind woman.

It wasn’t long before I eventually became the new school doctor, just like Tiffany. The dean still hadn’t found a viable replacement for her, and so one afternoon, I finally marched into the dean’s office to give her my speech.

“I want to be the official school doctor,” I said firmly, to which the dean raised her eyebrows and looked at me over her glasses.
