Chapter 533
Susan called out to Carlisle, holding a textbook as she approached.
Carlisle snapped back to reality, looking at Susan with bloodshot eyes.
"Are you... alright?" Susan asked, her tone full of concern.
Carlisle nodded and replied hoarsely, "I'm fine..."
"Your eyes are red. If you're not feeling well, you should go home and get some rest," Susan urged, worried about her most promising student.
She would hate to see anything happen to such an exceptional and smart student.
"Thank you, Ms. Lowe. But I'm really fine," Carlisle replied, lowering his head.
Susan had no choice but to let it go.
"Alright. But you can always come to me if you need someone to talk to."
With that, she returned to the podium to continue the class.
Carlisle had been in a daze the entire day. He remained seated, staring blankly into space, even after school had ended in the afternoon.
Phoebe glanced at Carlisle and pouted.
"We shouldn't have told Carlisle. He didn't even go for lunch today!"
Christine had intended to keep the news from Carlisle, but Phoebe thought Carlisle deserved to know about Wanda's current situation, so she encouraged Christine to tell him.
Christine sighed, feeling quite guilty.
After a moment of silence, Phoebe suddenly suggested, "Since Wanda was curious about who Carlisle is, maybe we should tell her their story. It might help her remember."
Christine replied weakly, "I've thought about that too. But this letter only has the recipient's address. We can't reply to her without knowing where to send it."
"Christine! Are you free tonight? How about I take you out for barbeque?" Daniel called out, smoothing his slicked-back hair and flashing a confident smile that he believed was charming.
He had suddenly appeared at the classroom entrance.
"No time, no mood," Christine responded flatly.
Recently, Daniel had been bothering Christine. Christine usually responded with polite smiles because of respect for his relationship with Carlisle. However, she wasn't in the mood to humor him then.
Daniel was momentarily taken aback.
He then asked solemnly, "Who upset my dear Christine? Tell me, and I'll handle it for you." "Buzz off, will you?" Christine snapped.
She was aware of Daniel's feelings for her but thought her usual distant demeanor made it clear that she wasn't interested. She wondered if she had to spell it out for him.
Daniel's smile vanished completely.
He asked meekly, "Christine... What's wrong with you today?"
Phoebe chimed in to explain, "She's in a terrible mood today, Daniel. You'd better not bother her. Why don't you go comfort Carlisle instead?"
Daniel then turned his attention to Carlisle, noticing him sitting there in a daze.
"What's up with Carl?" Daniel asked, startled.
Phoebe briefly explained how they had learned about Wanda forgetting Carlisle.
After hearing Phoebe's explanation, Daniel chuckled awkwardly, "Come on. Quit messing with me. Wanda is so attached to Carl. There's no way she'd forget him. It's only been a little over a month, not years!"
Suddenly, Carlisle rose from his seat. The three immediately shifted their gazes to him.
Taking a deep breath, Carlisle regained his usual composure and left the classroom.
He wasn't a teenager who would be defeated by such minor setbacks.
According to Shania's explanation, the devices merely inhibited Wanda's memory neurons. Carlisle figured that there should be a way to restore those neural connections if such technology existed.
He was determined to restore Wanda's memory. But he planned to go to Yorksle to meet her in person first.
Carlisle went to the teacher's office to get a leave form from Susan. Susan handed it to him without asking any questions.
She assumed Carlisle was exhausted after covering most of the second-semester material on his own. She figured that a couple of days off would likely do him some good. However, when Carlisle completed the leave request form and handed it back to her, Susan's smile instantly froze.
He had requested ten days off, citing "Family matters" as the reason for his request. According to standard procedure, the leave form should specify the reason and be signed by a parent before being submitted to her. After she approved it, she would then forward it to the dean, Peter, for final approval.
Suspecting there might be some mistake, Susan asked, "Carlisle, are you requesting ten days off?"
"Yes," he answered without hesitation.
Susan took a deep breath and dialed Peter's number.
When Peter learned that Carlisle was requesting ten days off, he frowned and replied, "Have his parents call me first."
