At that moment, a long, bony hand reached out from the darkness.
The man’s hand was light and steady, holding Klara’s arm, and with a slight force, the body was steadily fixed.
The man’s hand touched Klara’s cold arm, and his eyes were tossed with a fierce wind and rain.
“How long has she been sleeping here?”
Stanley was visibly more upset, and even his tone was much more aggravated, his eyes sweeping over Milo, who couldn’t help but get a chill down his spine.
“It’s been… more than five hours…”
Milo lowered his voice and said.
More than five hours…
Stanley looked at Klara’s quiet sleeping face, but his expression was even more gloomy.
“Then why didn’t you tell me earlier?”
Milo couldn’t help but scream when he heard the reproachful words that were clearly implied.
Ever since Klara was framed and fell into the Tiger Garden, Stanley had already had someone protecting Klara in secret.
So just after Klara was put into the auditorium, Milo had actually received the news.
But after all, the situation at the old house can not be distracted, and how can you bother Stanley with such trivial matters, so he took it upon himself not to say anything.
Until Stanley finished dealing with all the things, he then reported the truth.
I didn’t expect Stanley to drop everything and rush over without hesitation.
“You were dealing with the old house at that time, so I…”
“From now on, you have to tell me the first thing about Klara.”
Milo was hanging his head down, but at this time, he suddenly raised his head.
The first time? It means that no matter what happens in the future, Klara’s affairs are in the first place?
He had trouble understanding what that meant, but Stanley had already gently picked Klara up across the room.
The duo walked out of the auditorium without seeing Carson’s clenched fists and indignant eyes behind them.
Klara woke up the next day and found herself sleeping in the school infirmary instead of the cold, dark school auditorium.
The teacher who came in to check on her saw her and asked kindly.
“You’re awake? Let me know if you feel unwell.”
Klara looked at the school medical teacher in a daze.
“Why am I here teacher?”
“Don’t you know this yourself? You were already in bed when I came in the morning.”
Klara froze and then asked.
“What about the boy who was with me?”
This time it was the teacher’s turn to freeze.
“You were the only one in the infirmary today, there weren’t any boys with you.”
Klara wondered, if it wasn’t Carson, then who could have sent her to the infirmary?
Instead, her mind suddenly went to Stanley’s angular face.
She then laughed at herself for the absurdity of the thought.
Stanley couldn’t have known she was trapped.
Klara’s mind raced and she made up a lie to get past the teacher.
But the teacher was still not sure about her health, so she took Klara’s temperature before letting her go.
When she left the infirmary and was about to arrive at the classroom, it was already time for morning study, so Klara couldn’t help but speed up her steps and walk towards the classroom.
But just as she reached the door of the classroom, she bumped into Gabriela, who had just come to school without any delay.
Gabriela looked at Klara’s wrinkled clothes and slightly oily face, and realized that she had really been locked up all night.
Heartily pleased, Gabriela scoffed and spoke up.
“How about Klara, did you sleep in the auditorium last night and are you still comfortable?”
Klara couldn’t help but frown and asked in a cold tone.
“You were the one who deliberately locked both doors of the auditorium yesterday?”
“I was the one who locked the doors, what can you do to me?”
Gabriela was so arrogant that she was about to nose-dived, then coldly snorted and continued.
“Since you want to hook Carson, you should understand the consequences of doing so! If you know you’re afraid, stay away from him, or next time… it won’t be as simple as locking the doors of the auditorium!”
Klara was speechless, and she suddenly realized something very interesting.
Did this Gabriela not know that last night she had locked up her man-god all night too?
She couldn’t help but feel some sympathy for Gabriela, so she weighed her words and spoke.
“Do you really know what you did yesterday?”
Gabriela sneered as she clutched her chest and continued to taunt.
“Of course I know, that’s why I said it all, it’s a lesson for you! Just stay away from Carson from now on!”
Gabriela was in the middle of her speech, spitting and frothing, when to her surprise there was a sudden murmur from behind her.
It was a couple of girls who had gone to school together and were passing behind her.
“Did you hear what happened yesterday? I think it was said that Carson was locked up in the auditorium all night, and the security guard only found it when he opened the door this morning!”
“Really? This is not too much, the school grass are closed, there is no humanity also?”
“Yes, the auditorium must be very cold at night, if Carson caught a cold how to do…”
The girls’ comments were unintentional, but they sounded harsh to Gabriela’s ears.
Her face turned pale as she realized what the problem was.
Yesterday, Carson was there? Wouldn’t she have kept Klara and Carson together for a whole night?
Wasn’t that a disguised way to create a whole night alone for Carson and Klara?
Klara watched Gabriela’s face-turning show and actually gloated a bit.
She then had to pretend to pat Gabriela’s shoulder sympathetically.
“It’ll all pass.”
She walked lightly into the classroom, leaving only an exasperated Gabriela standing behind her screaming.
“Klara!”
Unfazed, Klara went straight back to her seat, and shortly after she sat down, Carson arrived.
He looked the same as Klara’s current state, so to speak.
He saw Klara and gritted his teeth in anger.
“Where did you run off to last night by yourself?”
Klara got weak without a reason, because she really didn’t know how she left the auditorium.
But it was indeed a little unrighteous to leave Carson alone in the auditorium by herself.
“I really don’t know, well, it was just an accident around.”
Klara looked embarrassed and full of guilt.
Carson’s face was a stinky one, and he was about to get angry when the class teacher suddenly walked into the classroom.
Carson had to sit down first.
“Today is the art festival.”
Noel stood at the podium, still with a kind and amiable look.
“So what, we’ll follow the tradition of previous years. Each class is going to go up and perform.”
“Then it’s the charity auction that all the parents have to attend together, and last year our class was the second class in terms of auction amount.”
“This is actually a very difficult achievement, so I hope everyone will still participate enthusiastically this year, but the teachers hope that everyone is well-intentioned and not just doing it to climb the ladder.”
It’s kind of an Oakleaf College tradition to have an auction after the art festival.
The reason the school holds this charity auction is mainly for the sake of the parents.
