Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back novel Chapter 94

Xavier couldn't shake the feeling that he recognized Liesel. It was a strange mix of familiarity and unfamiliarity.

People flowed around them, but their gazes remained locked.

Noticing Liesel's attention on Xavier, Helena quickly signaled to a department head to call him over and introduce him to Liesel.

"Liesel, this is Xavier Scott, our all-around genius. He's likely a top scorer for this year's college entrance exam." Helena spoke with a hint of pride at the mention of Xavier.

Liesel could sense that Helena genuinely had a positive impression of Xavier, which brought her a sense of happiness. "That's wonderful."

Smiling, she said, "Principal Davis, since you think so highly of Xavier, how about I give him a little incentive?

"Xavier, if you can achieve a top-three score in the Ashthorne college entrance exam, I'll cover all your expenses during college and graduate school. Plus, I'll throw in a special gift. What do you think?"

This offer was exceptional. It practically gave Xavier everything he could ask for.

Xavier was momentarily stunned. He wasn't sure why Liesel was being so kind to him.

Helena knew that Liesel and Jacob were financially well-off. Now that Liesel had spoken up, she was eager to leverage it for Xavier's benefit.

"Looks like your senior here holds you in high regard. Quickly thank Ms. Sharp," Helena urged Xavier.

Xavier's eyes lit up as he smiled and said, "Thank you, Ms. Sharp."

Liesel's eyes sparkled with delight. Her smile was wide and genuine.

As the event approached, Helena led the way to the auditorium.

This time, Helena not only invited Liesel but also Jacob. Of course, she had to gather all the students from freshman to senior year.

Jacob dissected the pros and cons for the students with sharp insight. He analyzed everything from backgrounds to emotional intelligence, laying bare each aspect before them.

His analysis was profound. Liesel provided explanations alongside him to help everyone understand.

The talk lasted just over two hours. When Jacob concluded, he had no intention of lingering.

Noticing that, Helena decided not to bring up the idea of treating the two to dinner.

As she walked them to the school gate, Liesel was the first to stop.

A pretty woman in a wheelchair sat at the entrance. Her right hand was wrapped in a thick layer of bandages. Upon seeing Jacob, she waved excitedly. "Jake!"

It was Natalie.

As the principal, Helena genuinely couldn't remember students who weren't particularly outstanding or exceptional.

Helena wore an awkward expression, likely feeling that Natalie thought more highly of herself than she deserved.

While Natalie attempted to engage Helena further, Jacob turned his gaze toward Liesel.

Liesel stood beside Xavier, who was about six feet tall but appeared somewhat fragile. He held a book tightly in his arms, and his eyes were fixed on Liesel.

She met his gaze steadily for a moment before smiling softly. "If there's anything you can't resolve, feel free to contact me. I'll help you."

Liesel handed him her business card.

Xavier accepted it and tightened his grip without him knowing. "Why are you being so kind to me, Ms. Sharp?"

Her generosity felt excessive. It was as if she were offering him everything he lacked. She even gave him her contact information.

At that moment, he felt an inkling that Liesel wanted to protect and support him.

Tilting her head, she looked at him and chuckled softly. "Maybe it's because I felt a connection."

Feelings were hard to explain. She hoped Xavier would buy this explanation.
