Chapter 217: Melissa Suffers a Critical Blow
In the outskirts of Caster City, Reformatory.
Early in the morning, Melissa had already washed up and dressed herself, changed into new clothes, put on a hair clip, then said goodbye one by one to the companions who lived in the same dormitory as her.
Today was the day she officially left the Reformatory.
Two months ago, when she was nearing the end of her term, she applied to a District Church School. With Director Tran’s special permission, she extended her time studying and preparing for the exam at the Reformatory. Last week, she took the examination, and just yesterday, she received her admission approval. After the New Year, she would be able to enroll and begin studying there.
“It’s time to go, Melissa.” the Sister serving as the dormitory supervisor called out.
Melissa carried her small suitcase and followed the Sister all the way to the gatehouse, where Director Tran was already waiting.
“Congratulations, Melissa, may the grace of the gods always be with you.” Director Tran said with a smile, “Take good care of yourself. I hope everything goes well for you after you leave.”
“Thank you, Matron. I won’t forget your kindness.” Melissa respectfully bowed.
“It’s quite difficult to get admitted into a District Church School from the Reformatory. But if you want to serve in the Church in the future, you still can’t afford to slack off.” Director Tran continued reminding her.
