Nurse walking 205

    <b>Chapter </b><b>205 </b>


    <b>For </b><b>over </b>a month after her return, Sarah frequently visited both the York family and Riverswood Vi, Yet <b>despite </b>her efforts, she failed to make <b>emotional </b>band with either her older brother or her grandnephew.


    One friend said, “Divercing your ex–husband was definitely the right call. If it weren’t for the York family bailing them out, his family <b>would’ve </b>gone bankrupt ages ago<b>.</b><b>” </b>


    One of her friends teased, “Well, look at you, living the good life! You look so much younger than the rest of us.”


    Another friend said, “You’ve been abroad all these years–why didn’t


    visit us more often? We missed you so much!”


    Sarah listened to her old friends‘ ttery, feeling a bit smug inside though she didn’t show it.


    With <b>a </b>modest smile, she said, “I’d love toe back more often, but my old man just can’t do without me. And he’s not too keen on traveling <b>around </b>Wallington, so there’s nothing I could do.”


    While chatting, the elevator arrived at the lobby and they made their way out.


    But since their chauffeur hadn’t arrived yet, thedies waited by the entrance<b>, </b>chatting idly as they <i>looked </i>around.


    Perhaps the elderlydies were dressed so fashionably that passersby couldn’t help but steal nces <b>at </b>them.


    But Sarah ignored the curious stares around her–her attention waspletely drawn to Shermaine in the jewelry store with a man. And that <b>man </b>was definitely not Joshua.


    Seeing this, Sarah frowned. ‘I knew it–women like Shermaine can never be trusted,’ she thought. ‘She just got married and she’s already out buying jewelry with another man? And that guy looks exactly like some sugar baby.


    ‘What rotten luck for my poor grandnephew to fall for a woman like this!‘


    “The car’s here, Sarah! Let’s go. What are you staring at?” her friend called out.


    “Nothing,” Sarah replied, not wanting to air the family’s dirtyundry. She adjusted her shawl and walked out with them.


    Following Roy’s suggestion, she chose a very simple tinum ring. Both Roy and Shermaine agreed it was a style Joshua would like, so she paid <b>for </b><b>it </b>right away.


    As they exited the store, Shermaine said, “Thanks.”


    Roy scratched his head and said, “Hey, no need to thank me.” Then he turned to the youngsters waiting nearby. “Let me introduce you–this is Shermaine, the King you’ve all been dying to meet and admire.<b>” </b>


    The five young men were stunned. So King really was a girl–and so young and beautiful! In unison, they said, “Hi<b>, </b>King!”


    Shermaine gave a slight nod. “Hello.”


    Roy grinned cheekily and said, “Mdy, since I just helped you pick out that ring<b>, </b>can I ask you <b>a </b>little favor?”


    “Go ahead,” Shermaine said.)


    Roy motioned her aside for a private word.


    Roy said, “The coach I hired quit for personal reasons. Could you fill in temporarily? Our AD gotpletely demoralized during the Spring <b>Game</b><b>–</b><b>he’s </b><b>in </b>terrible shape right now. If we don’t get him back on track, his career might be over by the Summer Game.


    “He’s got great potential, just still a bit green for the pro scene.”


    Chapter <b>205 </b>


    <b>Shermaine </b><b>thought </b>for a <b>moment</b><b>, </b><b>“</b>Alright,<b>” </b>she said<b>, </b><b>“</b><b>but </b><b>you’d </b><b>better </b><b>find </b>a <b>proper </b>coach <b>soon</b>. She had mentored graduat H?n <b>plenty </b><b>of </b><b>professional </b><b>knowledge</b>, <b>but </b>this <b>was </b><b>her </b><b>first </b><b>time </b><b>with </b>games–she really had little relevant <b>experience</b>.


    “<b>Got </b><b>it</b>, <b>I </b>will,” <b>Roy </b><b>promised</b>.


    At 9p.m., Shermaine returned to Riverswood Vi.


    <b>Joshua </b>was already home, working in her study. Shermaine went upstairs, knocked twice, and walked right in without waiting for a response


    Joshua was in the middle of a video conference.


    Seeing he was in a video conference, she turned to leave but was gently pulled back.


    She plopped right down on his <bp</b>.


    Joshua always loved holding her.


    After pausing the meeting for a ten–minute break, Joshua turned to her and asked, “So, what did you get, Sheary?”


    “A ring,” Shermaine replied.


    <b>“</b>Don’t we already have a pair at home?”


    Shermaine said calmly, “That one’s not really convenient to wear outside.” She handed him the box. “Try this one on–see if it fits.”


    He opened the box, revealing a simple ring–exactly his style. Extending his hand toward her, he said softly, “Sheary, help me<b>.” </b>


    Shermaine took the men’s ring and slipped it onto his ring finger.


    The ring fit perfectly.


    Joshua took the initiative to pick up thedies‘ ring and gently slipped it onto her finger.


    Their fingers intertwined, the wedding band on her ring finger gleaming beautifully.


    June was hot and muggy.


    In the blink of an eye, it was alreadyte June.


    Shermaine regrly dropped by Roy’s esports team. Sometimes, when Lily needed her to handle business matters, she would go over to take care of things.


    Lily was now dating the man who pursued her, and they often went out together.


    After that video conference, Joshua went on a business trip to Moranta for a week.


    Meanwhile, students across the country were anxiously awaiting their SAT results.


    Shermaine was also waiting anxiously for her results!


    On the 21st, the results were finally released.


    Students everywhere feverishly logged on to check their results.


    Early that morning, Summer sat in front of herputer, logged onto the exam results website, and entered her exam ID number<b>. </b>Wt. score, she leapt to her feet and shouted, “Mom! Dad! I did it! <b>I </b><b>got </b>into Basterel University!”


    : <b>saw </b><b>her </b>


    Summer’s parents were over the moon when they heard the news. Basterel University–a top–tier institution in Wallington and the dream school countless students aspire to! Their daughter had actually gotten in, and they immediately started nning a big celebration.


    <b>Chapter </b><b>205 </b>


    <b>Not </b><b>just </b><b>Summer</b>–<b>every </b><b>single </b><b>student </b>in ss 9 had <b>scored </b>remarkably <b>well</b>. <b>Except </b><b>for </b><b>Sharmaine</b>, whose results were still unknownst <b>surpassed </b><b>the </b><b>cutoff </b>score <b>for </b><b>top</b>–tier universities.


    <b>The </b>homeroom teacher of ss <b>9 </b>was absolutely ecstatic, but what concerned her most now was Shermaine’s score. She was anxious <b>to </b>know just haves <b>high </b>the girl had scored<b>, </b>and whether she could clinch this year’s title of top science student.


    She went <b>to </b>find the academic director, who was busy checking the results while on the phone<b>. </b>


    Suddenly, his voice boomed with excitement. “What? Both top scorers in science and liberal arts are from our school?” The academic director was over


    students right away.<i>” </i>the moon. “Haha! Thanks for this great news! I’ll notify <i>t </i>


    “Director, is it confirmed?<b>” </b>the ss 9 homeroom teacher asked eagerly as soon as he hung up.


    <b>“</b><b>The </b>results are in!<b>” </b>the academic director eximed. “Shermaine has truly outdone herself–can you guess what score she got?<b>” </b>


    The homeroom teacher pressed eagerly, “What’s her score?”


    <b>“</b>1590!” the academic director eximed, his face bright red with excitement. “She only lost 10 <i>points </i>in the entire exam!”


    At the breakfast table, Jameson was having breakfast with Jason and Natalie. He didn’t rush Jason <b>to </b>check his scores, letting him finish his meal first. Afterward, Natalie voluntarily brought out theptop and asked Jason to enter his exam ID number.


    Outwardly calm<b>, </b>Jameson was brimming with anticipation inside.


    The SAT results were in–Jason scored 1580 points.


    Jameson nearly jumped for joy when he saw the score.


    With the SAT’s perfect score being 1600, Jason achieved 1580—just 20 points short of perfection. The title of top science scorer was absolutely his for <b>the </b>taking.


    Jameson burst outughing, “That’s my boy! You’re absolutely brilliant<i>!</i>”


    Jason nced at his score, a barely noticeable smile ying at the corners of his mouth. The only thing that bothered him was missing a perfect score <b>in </b>math.


    Jason said, “Dad, could you find out how Shermaine did on the exam?”
