“Fanny has another spot?” After Angela spoke, she cautiously asked Sebastian, “Can I use the refrigerator for storing some finished herbal soups and medicinal herbs? Some soups can stay fresh in the fridge for a few days, and ! can warm them up when needed.”
In fact, Angela had a bit of selfishness. She felt it would be a waste to only put a small amount of things in such a large refrigerator.
Now, she really needed the refrigerator to store her items.
Sebastian smiled warmly and agreed. “Feel free to use it. Master Jonathan rarely uses the refrigerator. I only found out about the desserts made by Carrie when I asked if he wanted any.”
“That’s fantastic!” She was thrilled to receive a positive response.
Yay, she had a double–door refrigerator to use. It made even the cake in her hands taste even more delicious.
Shortly after the two of them had fish soup, Sebastian praised Angela’s cooking skills repeatedly. After finishing the meal, he drove her to school.
As the speech competition drew near, Angela, upon entering the school gate, spotted the competition posters on the bulletin board, along with the list of participating students.
She initially planned to glance at the list and slip away, but seeing the names caught her off guard.
This speech competition was a city–level event, with a maximum of two slots for each school. Unfortunately, Riverdon University only had one.
In her previous life, it was Fanny who had taken the sole slot from her.
Now, on the list, alongside Jessica’s name, there was also Fanny’s.
What’s happening? Didn’t I already give the slot to Jess? she wondered.
With a class approaching, Angela decided to go to the classroom and inquire from Jessica. Just as she reached the classroom door, she ran into Zacharias, whom she hadn’t seen for several days.
Due to ongoing health issues, he relied on medication, which made his skin fairer than the average man. Despite his tall, slender build, he radiated a refined and scholarly presence.
Zacharias was already a junior in the Design Department, which was separated from the Foreign Language Department’s teaching building by almost half of the campus. However, for Fanny’s sake, he often made the trip to their classroom doorway.
Angela lowered her head and noticed him holding a transparent box of small cakes. There were four in a box, each with different flavors.
In the past, he used to come across half the school to bring desserts to Fanny frequently, despite his not- so–good health. Doctors had repeatedly advised him not to exert himself excessively.

Even though each box contained several cakes, none were ever reserved for Angela. Most ended up being enjoyed by Fanny and her circle of friends.
In Angela’s naivety, despite the disappointment, she was always concerned about him getting tired from the long journey. Every time, she would eagerly be the first to greet him.
“Zacharias, why did you come all this way again? Aren’t you tired?”
“Where’s Fanny?
“Il call her for you…
He arrived, she inquired, and she would then fetch Fanny. The three of them formed a dynamic trio, though this was merely Angela’s hopeful perspective.
Zacharias never came to find her. With or without her, it made no difference.
Angela glanced at him. She chose to ignore his presence and walked directly toward the classroom door. Unexpectedly, he abruptly blocked her path. His brows furrowed as he accused, “Angela! Are you blind?”
“Blind? Can’t you see my face?” She snapped back, her patience wearing thin. As she turned around, she noticed that his lips were somewhat pale, and there was a bit of sweat on his forehead.
He had been weak since childhood.
Despite his frailty, the medicine and nourishing meals she prepared had gradually improved his health in recent years. At least he didn’t look as feeble as before when walking halfway across the school.
Upon leaving the Kins Family, it seemed he had just finished the medication she had prescribed. As for the nourishing meals, it was highly unlikely that she would continue preparing them for him.
Looking at Zacharias, who appeared to be a bit frail at the moment, Angela felt a sense of satisfaction.
Was he also taking her medicine?
Originally, he had intended to stop her and ask for her help in delivering the cake to Fanny. Unexpectedly. she spoke so harshly that his face instantly turned sour. He took a breath and said, “Angela, I’ve known for a long time that your previous compliance was just an act. This is your true nature.”
“Sure, believe what you want. Just move aside quickly. An obedient dog doesn’t block the way. She couldn’t be bothered with further discussion. She pushed him aside and entered the classroom.
Caught off guard by the force, Zacharias tilted his body. The cake box in his hand collided with the wall, causing the delicately crafted cake inside to crumble into a messy heap.
“Angela!” He saw the ruined cake and felt both distressed and angry. His distress was for the cake, and his anger was directed at her.
“Zacharias!” Fanny had just arrived at the classroom door and witnessed him being pushed. She hurriedly ran forward. “Are you hurt?”
“Fanny, you’re here…” He shook his head, guilt evident on his face. “I’m fine, but the cake is ruined. I can’t give you a beautiful cake now. I’ll buy you another one later.”

She glanced at the cake and nodded, agreeing to his promise to buy her another one later. However, her attention quickly shifted to the classroom. “Zacharias, why would Angela treat you like this? We’re all family. Even if there are disagreements, she shouldn’t resort to violence.”
“Well, she doesn’t see us as a family at all. Samuel is still stuck in the police station because of her. This wicked woman doesn’t deserve to be part of our family. Fanny, stay away from her in the future to avoid any harm.”
Zacharias spoke with a cold tone. He cast a disdainful glance at Angela, who had already taken her seat in the classroom, as if she were an unforgivable criminal.
Shaking her head. Fanny sighed before saying, “Zacharias, Angela might just be upset. I secured a spot for an English speech, and she might have taken out her frustration on you. I’ll go talk to her. This is my own. matter, and she shouldn’t take it out on you, especially considering your health.”
“Why is she so upset? If she hadn’t insisted on giving a spot to an outsider instead of you, the family wouldn’t have had to spend so much money to secure a place. Fanny, wait. That woman is irrational. She might even resort to violence!” Zacharias tried to intervene, but Fanny had already rushed over. He quickly caught up, worried she might face trouble with Angela.
“Angela, if you’re upset, take it out on me. Don’t direct it at Zacharias, okay?”
“Fanny, don’t bother pleading with this heartless person. She’s not worth it!”
Angela sat at her desk and had originally planned to wait for Jessica to arrive. Unexpectedly, these two persistent troublemakers followed her to the desk. She suddenly felt very annoyed.
When can I change my major? I truly wish to transfer to medical school right now and distance myself from these peculiar individuals, she grumbled in her heart.
Angela took out a tissue from her pocket, calmly crumpled it, and stuffed it into her ears in front of the two. She then started reciting her notes, saying, “Bicarbonate is a crucial component of the body’s pH. buffering system. We abbreviate standard bicarbonate as HCO3.”
The two were speechless at her behavior.
