Naturally, Janet, Abby, Sharon, and Summer had been assigned to the same dormitory.
Once back in the dormitory, everyone except for Janet plopped down onto their beds like zombies. They remained motionless as they laid there like turtles; it painted a funny but distressful scene!
Struggling to lift her legs, tears streamed down Abby’s face. “Useless. My legs are useless now! We’ll be scolded again during tomorrow’s training!”
Sharon and Summer were crying too. “Those miserable, monstrous instructors. He even criticized us for not running fast enough! Son of a b*tch!”
They had even been smitten by those two instructors earlier!
Feeling helpless, Janet retrieved a mysterious bottle from her bag and handed it to them. “Here. Give it a try!”
Abby was suspicious for a while, but she eventually took it from her.
“Janet, what’s this?” There was nothing written on it.
Janet pursed her lips, then answered, “All-purpose ointment!”
This medicine was very effective against bruises and sprains. Sometimes, it could even be used to relieve muscle ache!
All-purpose ointment?
Abby happily opened the bottle, and the strong scent of herbs wafted out. It was clearly a pure and natural remedy.
“Sharon, Summer, come and use some!” Abby called while waving them over.
Sharon and Summer looked up, then awkwardly ambled over to them.
They even had to use Janet’s medicine. How embarrassing!
Janet crept back into bed and tried to sleep. Her eyes were closed, but somehow, she couldn’t sleep.
Feeling bored, she took out her phone and sent a message to Mason. ‘Can’t sleep!’
The man’s reply came almost a second later. ‘What’s wrong? Not used to the bed there?’
Janet didn’t know what to say. Why isn’t he asleep? Is he thinking about me too?
A hint of suspicion fleeted across Janet’s small face, but she quickly came back to her senses. Biting her lip, she plucked up the courage and sent: ‘Miss me?’
For a long time, no response came from the other side.
Janet held her phone awkwardly. She had never said anything like this before, so she figured it was normal to find it strange.
Just when she thought about turning off her phone to go to sleep, she received a video call on Messenger.
Janet got up, fiddled with her hair, then went to the bathroom to pick up the call.
Seeing the man’s face on the screen was a little unusual, but nothing could conceal his good looks and alluring eyes.
Janet heard his low, sexy voice immediately after she answered the call. “I miss you!”
Propping her chin up with her hands, Janet’s pink lips curled up into a smile. “I miss you too!”
She wasn’t used to not being held in the man’s warm and firm embrace.
Speaking of embraces, Janet had always been curious about one thing but never had the chance to ask.
With her eyebrows perked up, she grinned and said slowly, “What does it feel like to hug me while you sleep?”
During her days at the Lowry Residence, he would wrap his arms around her as soon as he got into bed and wouldn’t let go. Powerless to struggle, Janet would give in and fall asleep.
The man was so greedy to have her in his arms, so she really wanted to know why!
Mason’s voice was hoarse, but he still answered, “It’s comfortable!”
For a moment, Janet was stunned.
She never thought that he would utter these two words so openly!
Janet raised an eyebrow, making her look simultaneously evil and charming. “Then, I guess you’ll have to make-do these few days.”
Mason’s breath hitched, and he could barely get another breath out.
It was quite painful for both of them to not feel each other’s presence.
After hanging up the phone, Janet’s eyes were wide open. All thoughts of sleep had vanished!
The next day, at five o’clock in the morning, the training bell rang.
Abby got up from bed in a sleepy haze and lifted her leg. Sure enough, it didn’t hurt anymore!
