Quirina turned away from the dorm and gritted her teeth. The matter would not blow over that easily.
"Let's go," Quirina left the dormitory and brought her minions away.
Raeleigh went to the door and pushed it open. Zorion passed the baskets to Raeleigh and Scarlette, who set them on the floor. Then, he closed the door casually, closing off the onlookers meandering around outside the door.
"Take a look and see if anything is missing," Zorion lowered his head and glanced at them. Raeleigh took a rough look at the baskets, saying, "Nothing is missing. Thank you so much for your help."
"Raeleigh, aren't you being too kind? Aren't you angry that Quirina bullied you like that?" Deanna was furious and she despised Quirina.
Raeleigh answered, "It's normal that classmates would have friction between them. I can't pick a fight with her because she bullied me. It won't settle anything."
Deanna widened her clear doe eyes, thinking that she had misheard her. She asked, "Raeleigh, why are you so easy-going? You're a convenient target for bullies."
Raeleigh stayed silent. No matter what she did, she was unable to solve the problem. If even Jepherson could not solve the issue, she could not think of anything else.
School bullies were common everywhere, especially in private schools. The powerful and influential made the rules. Raeleigh was a nobody. How could she square up with them?
Standing opposite Raeleigh, Zorion stared at her quiet and indifferent face and frowned slightly. Raeleigh was not someone who would let things slide that way.
"Raeleigh, I..." Deanna grabbed the hand which Quirina had stepped on, sending Raeleigh into great pain. She hissed.
Deanna looked at Raeleigh's retracting hand and called out, "Zorion, Zorion, look!"
It had become a habit for Deanna to rely on Zorion if any issue arose, and he had never ignored her pleas for help either.
As Zorion stepped forward towards Raeleigh, he took her hand from Deanna and noticed that her hand was scraped.
Raeleigh's hand was pale and delicate as she was just a student. She did her skincare regularly, so
her hand was as tender as a baby's. Since Quirina had used all her strength to step on Raeleigh's hand, she had hurt Raeleigh's hand to a horrible extent.
The wound on the back of Raeleigh's hand that was bleeding horribly.
Raeleigh was about to withdraw her hand as she replied, "I'm fine. I'll go to the infirmary to deal with it later."
Zorion held onto Raeleigh's hand and told her, "You're going to be a designer in the future. If your hand gets scarred from this wound, you'll regret this your entire life."
"Zorion, what should we do?" Deanna did not give Raeleigh a chance to speak, her eyes wide and frantic. Scarlette was also in a state of panic.
"Pack your things up. I'll bring you to the doctor," Zorion answered as he let go of Raeleigh's hand. His gaze held a dark glint.
Deanna immediately agreed and helped pack her belongings.
"Deanna, request a two- day leave for Raeleigh," Zorion stopped Deanna, who had begun packing on Raeleigh's behalf.
"That's right. I'll go and do that," Deanna responded and went out. Naturally, Zorion could not let her go alone. Looking at
Scarlette, he said, "Scarlette, go with her."
