    Chapter 121 Vitamin Pills


    Cameron looked up and met a pair of deep, amber eyes gleaming with a soft smile. It was her roommate, Austin, the one she had only just met the day before.


    there was


    His eyes were striking, deep, and soulful. Whenever he looked at someone, this strange illusion, like his gaze held admiration or affection. But in reality, that was just how he looked at people. It meant nothing.


    Cameron gave a small nod and put her phone away.


    Austin smiled. "Hey, Cameron. We didn''t really get to talk muchst night. I just wanted to say it''s great to meet you. I''m really looking forward to being friends."


    Cameron thought to herself, ''Austin''s so fragile. I guess I really should keep an eye on him.''


    She nodded again. "If there''s ever anything you need, feel free to ask me."


    "You''re really kind," Austin said with a warm smile. After a short pause, he added, "But you were kinda rough on Xander."


    Cameron blinked.


    Austin continued, "Then again, Xander has a temper. I get it."


    Cameron finished her breakfast in a few quick bites and stood up. "I''m done eating. Take your time, Austin."


    After she left, Austin watched her thin figure walk away and murmured under his breath, "Did I say something wrong?"


    Elijah took every chance he could get to tutor Cameron like he was determined to turn her into a model student in just three months.


    Cameron knew he meant well, but it was honestly a bit too much. So the moment ss ended, she bolted, without even giving Elijah a chance to say a word.


    By the time the ten o''clock ss rolled around, there was a twenty-minute break. Students in grades ten and eleven had assigned duties during the break, but the seniors were free.


    Cameron hid out in a bathroom stall, trying to catch a breather. Suddenly, thud! A heavy noise echoed just outside.


    She jumped. ''Someone fell?'' she wondered. On instinct, she pushed open the door.


    mad


    Right in front of her, Austin was sessfully unlocked! His already pale, handsome face


    was drained of color from the pain.


    "Austin?" Cameron crouched down immediately. Instead of rushing to lift him, she calmly asked, "Are you okay? Where does it hurt? Did you hit anything?"


    Chapter 121 Vitamin Pills


    "M-my meds," Austin whispered, pointing weakly at a scattering of pills on the floor.


    "Okay," Cameron said quickly, and started picking them up.


    She paused as soon as she touched them. Those white pills were not actual medication. They were vitamin tablets. Oddly, the imprints on them had been deliberately scratched off.


    Cameron had once time-traveled to a prominent medical family and had devoted her entire life in that world to practicing medicine. Just by the smell of the pills in her hand, she knew exactly what they were.


    Without letting her expression change, she swept the pills into the white stic bottle they hade from. She nced at thebel. It imed to be for relieving cough symptoms.


    As she handed the bottle back to Austin, she said casually, "They hit the ground. Can you still take them?"


    Austin shook his head. "I have to. If I don''t, the coughing won''t stop."


    Cameron was stunned for a second. ''Vitamins for a cough? Sure. Okay.'' She pretended not to notice anything unusual.


    She asked, "Austin, if you are okay, should I help you up?"


    "Yes, please. Thank you, Cameron. Honestly, if it weren''t for you, I don''t know what I


    would''ve done," Austin said sincerely.


    As she helped him up, Cameron discreetly checked his pulse. His body really was weak. But what she could not understand was-why vitamin tablets? Not that it


    mattered. It was not her business.


    Once Austin was steady on his feet, Cameron let go of his arm. "Can you manage on your own? Or should I go get someone to help you?"
