In her memories, she never depended on anyone, nor did she harbor unrealistic fantasies about certain things.
The reason she was able to stay and gain recognition from others was because she stayed grounded—she emerged step by step through her own capabilities and effort.
Just like the current situation...
Reality didn’t proceed according to plan, and she felt disappointed, angry, and unwilling to accept it because she had hope for this world—she subconsciously believed that all criminals would be severely punished.
But Flossie Wright felt it was only natural.
Not to depend, not to hope, to see reality and oneself clearly.
Is that a good thing?
Becca Reyes didn’t know.
What she did know was that such a Flossie Wright certainly ought to be calm and restrained.
In a daze, the lights-out bugle sounded from outside—
Dormitory lights were switched off one after another.
Jocelyn Carrington hurried to turn off the light.
Belinda Nichols walked toward her own bed.
Jessie Grain and Mariana Buck had already lain down; they just turned over at the moment the lights went out, truly closing their eyes.
"Time to sleep."
Indifferently speaking, Flossie likewise climbed into bed.
Becca Reyes stood quietly for a while, her mind filled with countless thoughts, and finally, she slowly made her way to her own bed.
She pulled back the covers, lay down, closed her eyes to sleep.
But she suffered from insomnia.
The next day.
There are no secrets that time does not reveal.
No one knew how the news got out, but it seemed like overnight, everyone knew about "the tampering with Flossie Wright’s climbing rope by Mia Lawson."
Many found it hard to believe.
Mia Lawson was the prettiest among this group of medical personnel; during this period of training, her beauty and good temper had spread, and those who didn’t know her well generally had a fairly good impression of her.
The sudden change of events overturned all their previous impressions.
How could she have done such a thing?
For a while, most people were abuzz with discussions about her, and there were numerous speculations about the reasons behind her behavior.
However, Austin Shepherd dealt with it swiftly and decisively, temporarily increasing the intensity of the training, which was exhausting enough that they had no energy left to gossip.
Those who were astute kept the matter to themselves.
The direct result of the increased training was that Flossie Wright, with her severely injured left hand, clenched her teeth and still ended up in the last group.
Morning, 10:30.
As Flossie Wright looked dejectedly at the 400-meter obstacle course, Austin Shepherd called her over.
Walking up to Austin Shepherd, Flossie asked indifferently.
Austin Shepherd looked off into the distance where he was checking the roster, then after a while, he drew his gaze back to Flossie and said, "You can come over for the diving training this afternoon."
"Right now?" Tilting her head slightly, Flossie chuckled lightly.
"No more training."
With eyebrows and eyes softened by a gentle smile, Austin Shepherd definitively told her.
"Then..." Flossie drew out her voice, glancing at the roster in his hand.
Tucking away the roster, Austin Shepherd looked at her with a touch more seriousness, glanced around, and then leaned in close to her, whispering mysteriously, "The four captains are pre-determined."
It was clear he wanted to say it, yet he made it seem so tense on purpose.
𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
Flossie suddenly beamed with a smile.
"Take care." Austin Shepherd bent his eyes, his gaze filled with a tender light.
Flossie nodded and walked away.
She, of course, knew that Austin Shepherd’s leniency was entirely out of a sense of guilt as compensation to her.
Yet, she also knew that this matter had nothing to do with Austin Shepherd; he owed her nothing.
