Cloudcrest High School.

After the last class, Coral and Arabella left the classroom together.

Arabella held her phone in her hand, distraught. Recently, Doreen had been bombarding her with calls, saying that Faye was seriously ill and hoping she could visit. But she didn’t go.

She had seen the prescription written by Dr. William herself. It was for a disfigured patient who had been cured. She was confident that the prescription was correct. However, Doreen insisted that Faye had developed symptoms of high fever, vomiting, and diarrhea after taking her medication. This infuriated her.

Faye’s illness was her own problem. Why should Arabella be held responsible?

At first, she patiently explained a few times when Doreen called her. But when the calls became frequent, she got impatient and decided not to answer them anymore.

However, since noon, her phone hadn’t rung. A sudden unease was gnawing at her.
