Chapter 8: Want to hear a girl’s secret?

Emily was stunningly beautiful, with long, golden straight hair and a delicate, cute appearance that fulfilled every fantasy one might have about a first love.

That’s why she was known as the school beauty, the dream girl of many students, the quintessential girl-next-door.

But Ethan knew that all of this was a facade.

The sickly look in her eyes now, her smile filled with a strong sense of discord, was definitely not as harmless as she appeared.

After Blair brought her in, she left, giving the two some space.

“Blair asked me to come see you more in your last days,” Emily said, her legs neatly crossed under her school uniform skirt, her hands resting on her thighs, her posture ladylike. Her sapphire-like eyes twinkled with mischief as she looked at Ethan. “It’s the first time I’ve seen her ask someone for a favor. Her eyes told me she would agree to any demand I made.”

Emily tilted her head, her smile sweet as she placed a finger on her lips. “Guess what I asked her?”

Ethan’s eyes widened with anger,this woman was indeed sick, and everyone was fooled by her.

He felt a surge of intense humiliation,there was nothing he could do.

Watching his expression, Emily’s smile grew even brighter. “The answer is, I made no demands. I agreed to her request. I proposed that I would be your girlfriend during your last days.”

Her expression suddenly softened, her gaze intense and direct, filled with girlish emotion. “Because I’ve always liked you, and only now have I gathered the courage to say it.”

Ethan’s angry gaze froze, staring blankly at her.

Emily was the school beauty, and apart from his somewhat delicate features, he had no interactions with her.

Reality wasn’t like a novel,he didn’t have the habit of pole vaulting after school—how could the school beauty possibly like him?

Watching the changes in his expression, Emily’s face gradually fell apart, and she couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

“Ha ha~ Ethan, your expression is really interesting~ Did your heart flutter for a moment just now?”

Ethan felt his emotions being toyed with, left speechless.

Emily laughed for a while before stopping, her face returning to a gentle smile. She propped her chin with her hands, leaning over the hospital bed, gazing at Ethan like a cute girl from a manga. “Just as I thought, you’re the perfect secret keeper for me. Want to hear a girl’s secret?”

Ethan conveyed through his eyes that he did not want to.

“You really want to know, so I’ll tell you,” Emily relaxed, her tone light. “Actually, I really want to kill someone~ It doesn’t matter who.”

Ethan thought she might be joking.

“When I’m alone, I quietly visit some extreme websites,” Emily said, her eyes growing softer. “You remember Ava, right? Always dressed in hip-hop fashion. She didn’t complete the environmental activity today, and I have to clean up after her after school.”

Ethan did remember Ava, a girl in his class known for her hip-hop fashion, always dressed flamboyantly with her group of friends.

As for any conflict between her and Emily, he wasn’t aware.

“I really want to tie her up with a rope, fix her to a rusty iron chair,” Emily’s voice was gentle. “And cut open her school uniform… I really hate her.”

Emily looked at Ethan as if he were the one sitting on the iron chair. “I want to cut off her head with a knife,there would be a lot of blood, right?”

She maintained her smile as she described how she wanted to torture Ava.

Ethan felt chills listening to her,the hospital room had cameras but no audio recording. Anyone watching from the cameras would see a beautiful girl sharing life stories with a boy on the bed, a scene seemingly beautiful and enviable.

“Ethan, you agree with me, right?” Emily finished her plan, her smile radiant as she observed his fearful expression. “Indeed, only you would understand me.”

After saying this, she looked at Ethan. “Actually, I’m very curious about men too~ I didn’t expect you to be so big.”

Ethan, praised by the school beauty, would normally be thrilled—as any man would be flattered by such a compliment.

But at this moment, he only felt cold sweat.

Because Emily was definitely not a normal woman.

“Yesterday, after seeing you, I couldn’t stop thinking about you on the ride home,” Emily shared as if discussing a fun club activity. “I really want to bully you.”

She glanced at Ethan as she spoke.

Ethan felt a wave of dread.

Emily stared at him intently, as if viewing her prey. “I heard that some men get excited just by being forcefully bullied~ Ethan, you too, right~ Do you want me to step on you with high heels or without?”

As she spoke, she looked at him. “Why, Ethan, aren’t you as active as yesterday? Don’t you like it?”

Ethan, looking at her beautiful face, only wanted to escape.

…

Half an hour later, Emily walked out of the hospital room, her demeanor bright and cheerful, her hands clasping a handbag at her abdomen, demure and cute.

Blair leaned on the railing, her gaze deep as she looked into the distance. Seeing Emily emerge, she turned: “Thank you.”

“No need,” Emily shook her head, tucking her golden hair behind her ear playfully. “I’m now his girlfriend, probably the first classmate Blair has asked for help. Sharing some of my interests with him was fun.”

Blair pursed her lips and finally nodded.

“I’ll come to see him often,” Emily smiled at Blair. “See you next time.”

After watching her leave, Blair turned back into the hospital room. Upon entering, she saw Ethan lying motionless on the bed and sat down beside him.

Her expression was less grave than yesterday,Ethan must be feeling good about being in touch with someone he liked. Everyone had left, yet he still stared out the window.

Ethan glanced at Blair, wishing he could tell this well-meaning fool why she had invited that evil woman.

That woman was definitely mentally disturbed and seemed to have no intention of leaving him alone.

Blair sat for a while, then noticed a photo magazine on the bedside table. She picked it up: “Want to see?”

After saying this, she spread it out in front of Ethan, flipping through the pages for him.

Ethan sighed internally,worrying now was useless. He’d wait to see how things went with his aunt, hoping she truly understood.

If he could speak, he would immediately rid himself of that psychotic woman, Emily.

“I just heard the nurses chatting,you had a big reaction to this photo last night, and they said you were impressively large. I can’t imagine what that feels like,” Blair quickly flipped through the magazine, finding the page with the teacher’s uniform.
