Chapter 57 Rumors
Looking at the fierce Celeste, Marcus was stunned for a moment before he could not help but laugh.
He asked, “In the past when you were someone else’s caregiver, did you also use this tone to treat your patients?”
She never treated other patients like this.
She only did this when she was with him because he was too disobedient.
After all, she had saved many people, but he was the only patient who was disobedient.
When she thought of his disobedient appearance, she felt an indescribable anger in her heart. “Get out!”
Marcus frowned when he heard that. Was she serious? She didn’t say it out of anger?
Marcus looked at Celeste and said, “My shower this time was really an accident.”
“I don’t care what accident you have. Anyway, I can’t take care of you anymore. Get out.”
Marcus had no intention of leaving at all. Seeing this, Celeste stood up and threw a pillow at him.
Marcus stood up and dodged. As for Celeste, her feet hurt from standing up. As soon as he left, her body began to lean forward.
“Oh.”
The expected pain did not come. Celeste opened her eyes and looked at Marcus, who had caught her.
His accelerated heartbeat echoed in her ears over and over again.
It took Celeste a lot of effort to calm down. Because of Marcus‘ hug, she blushed again.
She quickly got out of his arms and kept a distance from him. “Don’t think that I’ll continue to be your caregiver just because you helped me just now. Hurry up and go back to your home. I won’t care about you anymore.”
Marcus was not a shameless person. When he saw that Celeste was determined to chase him away, he let go of her and said okay before leaving her room.
After Marcus left, the room returned to silence.
Celeste sat on the bed and looked at her red and swollen ankle. She fell into deep thought.
He had just helped her. Wasn’t it a little inappropriate for her to chase him away like this?
But since she had said that, how could she go back on her word?
Celeste fought with her reason in bed, and eventually, her reason lost.
She took her phone and called Marcus. “Come in and apply the medicine!”
Marcus, who had just packed his luggage, was speechless.
This woman looked exceptionally fickle. Marcus smiled, put down the luggage in his hand, and returned to Celeste’s room. Seeing that she was jumping around to get the first aid kit, he went to her side and carried her back to the bed.
“Your ankle is so swollen, yet you still want to get out of bed and walk. Do you not want to recover?” Marcus said. Celeste said, “If you have time to worry about me, you might as well worry about yourself first.”
His injuries were much worse than hers.
Celeste took out a box of ointment from the medicine box and began to apply it on Marcus again. After applying the ointment, she said to him in a very serious tone, “If there’s a next time, I won’t care about you anymore.”
Marcus raised his eyebrows. “What do you mean by next time?”
“Shower!”
“I’ll try my best.” After a pause, Marcus looked at Celeste. “Or if I don’t take a shower, will you wipe it for me?”
Celeste was speechless.
He was dreaming.
“That’s a different price.”
Money was the last thing he lacked, so as long as he was willing to wipe his body, he could give her an additional salary.
“Wipe my body… How much do you want?”
Successfully unlocked!
Huh? She had just said it casually. Why did he take it seriously?
Celeste said, “I’m just joking with you. I don’t intend to take your money.”
“So you’re doing it for free?”

As she thought about it this way, he was taking advantage of her a little.
After all, it wasn’t easy for her to earn money. “I don’t like to take advantage of others. How about I give you 3000 dollars for each time?”
Did he have too much money and want to share some with her? Celeste would naturally not refuse if she could make money. She agreed and bandaged him up before letting him go.
After Marcus left, Celeste lay on the bed and began to rest.
*****
At this moment, rumors and speculations had started to develop in the school because Celeste was scolded by Declan for not coming to class in the afternoon.
Chloe was listening to her new friend, Angie, in her classroom.
“Chole, have you heard? In order to avenge you, Mr. Huxley publicly scolded Celeste. Celeste left the school at noon and hasn’t returned to class yet. Now, the students on the forum are all saying that Celeste is going to drop out of school!” After listening to Angie’s words, Chloe said shyly, “Angle, are you thinking too much? I have nothing to do with Mr. Huxley. Why would he stand up for me?”
Angie nudged Chloe’s arm and teased, “Chole, although you don’t know Mr. Huxley, this can’t stop Mr. Huxley from falling in love with you at first sight! So what’s so strange about Mr. Huxley, who fell in love with you at first sight, standing up for you?”
Although Chloe was overjoyed that Declan had avenged her, she did not show it on her face.
She started her hypocritical acting. “Although Celeste bullied me, she’s still my sister, so I don’t want Mr. Huxley to hurt her for me.”
Seeing that Chloe was still thinking about Celeste, Angie was so worried.
“Chloe, why are you so kind? Besides, didn’t you say that Celeste isn’t related to you by blood? If that’s the case, why are you so good to her? Why do you care so much about her? I think she deserves to be kicked out of school by Mr. Huxley.” Chloe lowered her eyes and said, “But my sister must have spent a lot of money to enter this school. If I let Mr. Huxley chase her away like this, I will feel guilty.”
Angie keenly caught the words Chloe said about spending money to enter Crestwood College.
“Snowy, what did you mean by that just now? What do you mean by Celeste being able to enter Crestwood College because of money? Do you know something?”
Chloe shook her head, indicating that she did not know. Angie held her arm and wheedled.
“Chloe, tell me! Hurry up say
and
what you
didn’t finish.”
Chloe awkwardly pulled her arm back from Angie’s hand. “Angie, I don’t have any secrets to tell you. Don’t force me. I don’t want to destroy my sister.”
The more Chloe was like this, the more curious Angie became. “Chloe, if you really treat me as a friend, stop hemming and hawing. Hurry up and tell me the truth about Celeste getting into Crestwood College with full marks!”
“I…” Chloe bit her lip and said softly, “There’s no truth. It’s just that when Celeste was studying in Kingston, she was always ranked last in every exam. Moreover, she was expelled from Kingston some time ago for her poor results.
“I don’t know why, but she became a top student with full marks as soon as she came to Crestwood College. I thought it was a little strange, so I casually guessed.
“However, it’s just a guess. Angie, don’t spread it out. What if the reason why Celeste was able to get into Crestwood College was because of her ability?”
