From beginning to end, there wasn’t a single kind word.
Mia Lawson was berated relentlessly and cried for a long time in the dean’s office.
In the end, the dean got annoyed and dismissed her with a single word, "fired."
Crying and wailing, truly annoying!
Mia felt both aggrieved and relieved, seeing the dean’s face turn thoroughly dark, she dared not linger.
After leaving the office, she called Neal Thompson and then went to the hospital with a dispirited demeanor to pack up some things, getting ready to leave.
Neal Thompson took leave to see her off.
"How did you get fired?"
When she met her at the hospital entrance, Neal Thompson frowned deeply, inquiring in a disgruntled tone.
"Because," Mia’s sobbing broke out again, and tears flowed down, "it was all because of that Flossie Wright incident. The dean thought it looked bad and asked me to leave."
"Flossie Wright!"
Neal Thompson’s face changed, his teeth clenched with anger as he uttered the name.
Damn it, nothing good ever comes out of encountering Flossie Wright.
After exchanging a few words, Neal Thompson then asked, "So where do you plan to go?"
"I’ll head back home first," Mia replied, wiping away her tears and speaking with a sense of injustice, "and then look for a job later."
Her face bore a pitiful look, but inside, Mia felt luckily relieved to be leaving this place sooner.
It’s not that there was anything else, it’s just that she could no longer find a place for herself here.
She felt humiliated.
She had never endured such humiliation in her life.
Everyone was laughing at her, despising her, cursing her as if she had always been a joke from the start. The kindness and favors from before could no longer be found.
The awkward looks from those people would be memorable for a lifetime.
She resented, she hated.
She couldn’t bear to stay here for one more second.
"It’s almost dark, and you’re just going back like this..." Neal Thompson said, furrowing his brows tightly.
"It’s fine, I can make it to town before dark, and then I’ll find a motel to stay at. I’ll go back tomorrow."
"That works," Neal Thompson considered for a moment and then nodded, "Call me when you get to the motel."
"Okay." Mia forced a smile, but it looked rather bitter.
Neal Thompson felt a bit downhearted and then said, "Let me accompany you."
Mia nodded.
Having spent two years at the hospital, she only had Neal Thompson as a friend.
Initially, when she got close to Neal Thompson, she saw him only as a foil, given that Neal’s rugged appearance made her own look even more beautiful.
Over two years at the hospital, she thought she had quite a few close friends, but she never expected that once this incident happened, they regarded her as something terrifying and would not even dare to speak to her.
They even revealed her private matters behind her back.
It was heart-wrenching.
Only Neal Thompson was good to her.
Perhaps Neal Thompson was often in a bad mood, but as a friend, he believed in her, avoided the outside rumors, and defended her wholeheartedly.
Mia thought that in this place, the person she should remember the most was probably Neal Thompson.
"Remember to call, okay?"
As they parted, Neal Thompson waved at her, a hint of concern and worry evident on his face.
Mia nodded heavily, and as she turned around, the tears fell uncontrollably.
The prairie.
The wild wind was rampant, the expanse boundless.
On the wide road, a black Aventador sped by, moving so fast it was like a shooting star glancing across.
Perry Reed was driving the car, his phone buzzing on the passenger seat. He glanced at it indifferently and, after letting it ring for a while, finally picked up and put on his Bluetooth headset.
