The Pill
Jared turned off his phone and got ready to enter the exam room. He was surprised and somewhat
confused after seeing Arielle.
“Chief! Are you here to support me?”
Arielle shook her head. “No, I was just passing by.”
She was about to finish reading the information in the archive, but she suddenly thought of Jared, so
she immediately rushed over there.
Jared’s expression darkened upon hearing that, but he saw Arielle smiling. “I’m joking. I came here to
see how you’re doing.”
Jared was stunned momentarily. “Chief, please don’t joke with me. I’m not used to it.”
Arielle felt somehow offended by his words.
Am I really that bad at joking?
She shrugged her shoulders helplessly. “All right. I come to tell you to relax before the exam. Henry
said that you were so nervous that you couldn’t sleep for the whole night.”
Jared bit his lip upon hearing that. “D*mn that Henry. He’s got a big mouth.”
Arielle looked into Jared’s eyes. “Not only Henry, but I’ve also heard from Carter too. Ever since your
brother got into trouble, you’ve been stressed and wanting to do something for the Jupiters. I assure
you that your brother will recover in no time. Don’t give yourself too much pressure.”
Jared stared at Arielle. His flustered heart slowly turned calm.
“I got it.” He nodded slightly. “I’ll take it easy.”
Arielle nodded and then took out a tiny bottle from her pocket.
“I almost forget. I came here to give you this.” She poured out a green pill from the tiny bottle.
“What’s this?” Jared asked right away.
“I heard that you didn’t even have your breakfast and lunch. It is to replenish your energy.”
Jared nodded and swallowed the pill without any hesitation.
If it were others who gave him a pill suddenly, he would have even called the cops.
He was unsure if it was a psychological effect, but he felt much better after taking the pill.
The exam was about to begin. Arielle did not want to bold Jared back as she waved toward him. “Go in
then. Take it easy.”
“Okay!” Jared lifted his head and walked into the exam room.
Arielle stared at his back figure, her gaze extremely complicated.
She did not tell Jared that not only would the pill replenish his energy, but it would also improve his
concentration.
The pill was meant for Trisha. But Trisha did not need it in the end as Arielle had enough time to
perform hypnosis on her. Thus, she gave the pill to Jared.
The exam for the normal class was different from the preparatory class as it was a combined paper.
They would be taking all four subjects in one paper, and the exam would last for three hours.
It was indeed exhausting to keep concentrated for such a long hour.
Jared, who did not even take breakfast and lunch, might not even hold on to the end.
With his talent and the help of the pill, Arielle was confident he would be able to secure the only slot for
the normal class.
However, when Arielle was about to leave, Jared suddenly rushed out.
“What’s wrong?”
She saw Jared bowing toward her the next second with his hands folded. Then, he ran back into the
exam room again.
Arielle was stunned momentarily, displaying a helpless smile.
As the bell rang, the exam for the normal class started, while the charity event kicked off too.
