Chapter 295: Chapter 295
Lieutenant Colonel Capra suddenly softened his expression, "Have you been tired these past couple of days?"
Rosemary looked a bit puzzled and slowly replied, "Not tired."
With a sigh of relief, Lieutenant Colonel Capra said, "That’s good. Who’s your instructor?" He turned to Lieutenant Madden for answers.
Lieutenant Madden was completely clueless, not understanding why the usually stern Lieutenant Colonel Capra was being so kind to this girl. Did she hold some special status?
"Reporting to Lieutenant Colonel Capra, I am Rosemary’s instructor, Jerome," Jerome saluted as he spoke, his eyes filled with confusion as he too didn’t understand why Lieutenant Colonel Capra was being so friendly towards this girl.
"You’re her instructor?" Lieutenant Colonel Capra praised with a smile, "She’s got some serious punches. You’ve done good."
Standing firm, Jerome modestly replied, "Rosemary is naturally talented."
After all, even though she didn’t pay much attention in class, her moves were top-notch. If not talent, then what could that be?
"Cultivate her well, she has potential," Lieutenant Colonel Capra said with a smile as he patted Jerome on the shoulder.
Jerome was puzzled. Could someone really have potential just from being good at boxing? What kind of logic was that?
"Oh, you were saying something about Rosemary?" Lieutenant Colonel Capra turned to Lieutenant Madden, who seemed to have something to say.
Lieutenant Madden, being quick-witted, realized the girl’s importance and hastily said with a smile, "I just wanted to remind her to drink more water during the break since it’s very hot out there."
"That’s it?" Lieutenant Colonel Capra clearly didn’t buy it. Was this something that needed to be specifically pointed out?
In a hurry, Lieutenant Madden added, "And, her boxing skills are really good, I wanted to praise her for it."
Lieutenant Colonel Capra reprimanded, "Lieutenant Madden, I want to remind you, she’s just a girl. Be careful with your tone and expression when you praise her. When I came over, your face didn’t look so good. I thought you were going to criticize her."
Lieutenant Madden was sweating bullets, "I wouldn’t dare."
Lieutenant Colonel Capra seriously said, "You better not."
With that, he turned back to Rosemary and kindly asked, "Rosemary, could you give me your phone number?"
This question left both Lieutenant Madden and Jerome in shock.
Ignoring their reaction, Lieutenant Colonel Capra gently said, "I’m Lieutenant Colonel Capra here, all the captains and instructors answer to me. If you ever have any issues, you can tell that to me directly without any hesitation."
Lieutenant Madden was trembling with fear, understanding that this girl was of high importance. Anyone who could make Lieutenant Colonel Capra act in such a respectful manner must have a higher status than him. He had made a huge mistake.
Rosemary didn’t really want to give her phone number to Lieutenant Colonel Capra, but considering his rank and that he asked in front of his subordinates, she couldn’t say no.
With a smile, Lieutenant Colonel Capra said, "Alright, you’re dismissed. Remember to keep in touch."
"Okay," Rosemary nodded, unsure who told him to pay special attention to her. Was it Romeo? The principal? Her parents? Or her brothers?
"Understood!"
After saluting, Jerome quickly walked over to Rosemary, curiously asking, "If your boxing skills are so advanced, why don’t you give it your all in class?"
He had been worrying about nothing all this time! He thought she would get a serious beating from Noreen.
Rosemary casually looked ahead, asking nonchalantly, "Do I really need to take basic boxing that seriously?"
Wow! The girl was seriously snooty! People with support do behave differently!
Lying on the sick bed in the school’s clinic, the more Noreen thought about it, the angrier she got. She whipped out her phone and texted Serena.
"Serena, guess who I just ran into?"
Upon receiving the message, Serena immediately had a bad feeling. Noreen and Rosemary were both in medical school. Could it be?
She cautiously asked, "Don’t tell me it’s Rosemary?"
Did Rosemary spill the beans?? Did she expose her fake identity??
"Exactly!" Noreen spat, "I swear, she’s my sworn enemy now!"
Serena was uneasy, pretending to care about her situation and she enquired about the situation, not expecting Rosemary to be such a good fighter.
"She was raised in the countryside, must’ve been led astray by some bad apples. Sorry, Noreen. I had no idea she could be so rude and not tone it down in school. My parents took her in because a fortune teller said she’d bring good luck to the Collins family. They treat her like a foster daughter. The fortune teller said she’s the older sister and I’m the younger. I always gave in to her, but now she thinks she’s a real Collins, acting all high and mighty! Ever since she joined this family, she’s been so arrogant. I put up with her bullying me but didn’t expect her to be so cocky at school. Thank god you didn’t mention knowing me, or she would’ve been ruthless today. Noreen, this is my family’s issue. My parents even made me swear not to reveal any of this to anyone, but you’re my best friend so I let it out."
"Don’t worry, Serena, I won’t spill the beans."
Upon hearing Noreen’s promise, Serena pretended to care about her injuries and kept apologizing.
"It’s not your fault, no need to say sorry!"
The one at fault was Rosemary, if anyone should apologize, it should be her!!
"Once I’m better, I’ll give her a piece of my mind!" A determined look flashed in Noreen’s eyes.
Serena sent a sighing emoji, "The fortune teller said our family will face a great disaster. Only by keeping her can we turn the tides. Even for this, if something happens to her, my parents will definitely hold someone accountable. Forget it Noreen, the fortune teller said there’s no one else like her in this world, so my parents value her a lot."
Noreen got the hint, "Don’t worry, I’ll play it by ear. What’s the big deal about knowing some boxing? I’ll get my brother, the Sanda champion to teach me a few moves. I bet I can keep Rosemary in check."
Then who would be the loser?
Even so, they were so far from home at that time. If something happened to Rosemary by accident, did her parents would hold her accountable? Even if they wanted to, they’d need solid evidence, right? As long as nobody knew who had committed the act.
"Noreen, even though your family’s ancestors were royal physicians, and you have many famous doctor relatives, Rosemary’s medical skills are also top-notch."
