Chapter 75-Melons Out And He Is Embarrassed
Helanie:
I rushed into the hotel, exhilarated as it finally hit me—I had really won admission. Once in my room, I kicked off my shoes and leapt in joy. This has been the happiest I have been after so long.
"I’ll watch TV all day and eat whatever I want. Two whole days without stress!" I couldn’t believe it—I was still tearing up, but these were tears of happiness. I have longed for this day. And despite having so many obstacles, I did it. Thanks to Kaye and Emmet for it.
I stripped off my clothes and sank into the tub, letting my muscles relax completely. For once, I tried to silence the disturbing thoughts and visions that usually haunted me when I was alone. Pushing aside the sorrow, I focused on my future at the academy.
Yet, a small tension lingered in the back of my mind—anxiety about my health. The constant stress had worn me down. Each day felt like a battle, and every place, a battlefield. I’ve been feeling weaker lately, with frequent headaches adding to my worries.
After a long bath, I’d barely wrapped myself in a bathrobe when there was a knock at my door.
"It must be room service," I thought as I walked over and opened the door. But the person standing outside made me instantly regret not checking first.
I tried to slam the door shut, but he wedged his shoe in, making it impossible to close. Groaning, he forced his arm against the door, shoving it open as I took a step back in fear.
"What are you doing here?" I growled at Norman, who didn’t even respond as he barged inside, scanning the room as if I were hiding something. He checked the balcony, the bathroom, even the corners of the room.
