Chapter 214: Chapter 214: How Can You Study Dressed Like That?
Chloe Sinclair was packing her backpack.
She had been in the lab for the past few days and hadn’t attended a single class.
Now that she finally had some free time, Chloe Sinclair felt she had to go to class, no matter what.
Hearing Nathan Trenton’s voice, she turned around, a flicker of confusion in her eyes.
Nathan Trenton had been too far away to see her clearly at first. But as he got closer, he realized just how awful she looked.
"You look terrible. Haven’t you been sleeping well these past few days?"
’Haven’t been sleeping well? More like she hasn’t slept a wink!’
Hearing Nathan Trenton’s question, Eight couldn’t help but grumble within the system.
Chloe Sinclair’s expression remained placid. "The weather has been all over the place, so I’ve just felt a bit rundown and haven’t slept well. Don’t worry. Once the device is finished, I’ll definitely take a few days off."
After speaking, Chloe Sinclair shouldered her backpack. In a hurry, she quickly said goodbye and left.
"I have a class to get to, so I’m heading out."
Chloe Sinclair borrowed Nathan Trenton’s Maserati and drove to the university.
The class bell rang just as she got out of the car.
Chloe Sinclair had no choice but to sprint toward the classroom.
"Professor!"
Finally, Chloe Sinclair arrived at the classroom, panting. Her face was flushed, and fine beads of sweat dotted her forehead.
Professor Myers was in the middle of his lecture and looked a bit surprised to see Chloe Sinclair arrive.
Uncharacteristically, he wasn’t angry about her being late. Instead, he cheerfully gestured for her to take her seat.
Chloe Sinclair sat in the middle of the first row, quickly took out her books, and was soon engrossed in the lecture.
When class ended, Chloe took the opportunity to nap during the break. She only stirred when a classmate next to her called her name, and she propped her head up with a hand, struggling to wake.
"Thanks."
Chloe Sinclair looked at the classmate who had woken her, a faint, sleepy smile on her face.
The classmate was one of Chloe’s fans. She instantly grew flustered and shook her head vigorously.
"I-It’s nothing."
After saying that, the classmate seemed to hesitate, as if she wanted to say something more.
Chloe was very perceptive and quickly noticed the classmate kept looking at her. A little confused, she tilted her head and asked, "Is something wrong?"
The classmate hesitated for a moment before asking, "Are you not getting enough rest? I saw you yawn a few times during class."
Before Chloe could answer, the girl continued, "I know you’re usually really busy and that all the professors want you in their labs, so... we all just hope you’ll take care of yourself. After all, your health is your most important asset."
Hearing those familiar words, Chloe didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
She looked the young woman before her straight in the eye and said very seriously, "Don’t worry, I will."
Then, she added another sincere thank you. "I appreciate your concern."
Chloe’s voice and appearance were both gentle, putting people at ease.
The classmate’s ears flushed red. She quickly shook her head. "N-No problem. It’s what anyone would do."
Chloe found it a little amusing.
Thanks to the little exchange with her fan, most of Chloe’s drowsiness had faded.
Just then, Miles Myers glanced at Chloe before looking away again.
When it came to her studies, Chloe would always push through, no matter how tired she was.
Miles Myers truly lived up to his reputation as a top-tier professor at Emberfall University. Chloe always found immense inspiration in his lectures.
But the calm, studious atmosphere was soon shattered.
Halfway through the second lecture, Nina Sinclair returned.
Professor Myers took one look at Nina Sinclair’s outfit, and his expression immediately darkened.
"How do you expect to study dressed like that?"
