When Lillian returned to school, the campus was far livelier than before. Upperclassmen from sophomore to senior year had all come back. Students strolled in groups, laughter and shouts from the basketball courts rang out across the grounds, and under the shade of trees, some were reading while others strummed instruments on the lawns. Everywhere pulsed with the energy of youth.
Back in the dorm, Isabelle and the others were already there. When they saw Lillian walk in, Isabelle grinned and teased, “Not very loyal of you, Lillian. You abandoned us to suffer alone. Look at us now-our faces are so sunburned we’re practically lumps of coal p>
Lillian chuckled at their visibly darkened skin. “Being tanned isn’t bad-it’s easy on the eyes. And hey, it’s the latest fashion. You don’t even need special effects makeup, the color is so even p>
“You little brat, how dare you laugh at me!” Isabelle shouted before lunging at her.
The dorm erupted into laughter and playful chaos.
The next day, official classes began. College life was different from high school-schedules were looser, classes fewer, and much depended on self-study. Since Lillian majored in medicine, she had many lab courses, but even then, her time was far more flexible.
She and Isabelle both enrolled in the medical school. By the time they walked into the lecture hall, it was already packed. Because Lillian had skipped military training, her classmates remained curious about the SATs prodigy. When they finally saw her, many were taken aback by her delicate beauty.
What surprised Lillian, however, was spotting Daylen among the students. She hadn’t expected him to choose medicine as well.
Moments later, a middle-aged woman walked to the podium. “Good morning, everyone. My name is Morrison-you may call me Madam Morrison. I’ll be guiding you throughout your freshman year. After the weeks of military training, I’m sure you’ve already gotten to know each other, so I won’t say more. But let me sincerely congratulate you all for making it into Kingston University’s School of Medicine. May you contribute to the medical field of Dracovia p>
Her words drew a warm round of applause,
Lillian found herself fascinated. Modern medicine and traditional practices differed greatly, and every lecture revealed something new and intriguing-territory she had never explored before.
After class, Isabelle left first, while Lillian stayed behind to keep reading. Suddenly, a shadow fell across her desk. Daylen stood there, his eyes dark. “You really don’t care at all that I’m with Eda p>

Still flipping through her book, Lillian replied evenly, “Everyone has to be responsible for their own life. I have no right to interfere. Who you’re with is your choice p>
“So it’s true then? That you already have a boyfriend?” Daylen pressed, his gaze fixed on her.
Lillian paused, then closed her book and met his eyes. “They’re wrong. I don’t have a boyfriend —I have a fiancé. Does that answer satisfy you?” With that, she stepped past him toward the door.
Daylen called after her, his voice raised. “Don’t you know I like you? Back at Riverdale High School, I told you already. Why won’t you accept me? What does he have that I don’t p>
Lillian stopped, but she didn’t turn around. Her tone was calm, steady. “Just because you like me doesn’t mean I have to say yes. In matters of the heart, there is no why. And in mine, he is the only one p>
Without another word, she walked away, leaving him frozen in place.
