SWNOVELS Chapter Gossip 390
Chapter 390 Thinking It Was A Dream
Unexpectedly, Carlos seemed quite dazed.
Everyone initially thought he hadn't recovered yet, and offered him a few comforting words.
However, something still seemed off about Carlos' expression.
His reaction gave Isabella reason to check the gossip.
After going through it briefly, she nearly burst into laughter at the dinner table.
In the end, all she could do was desperately try to conceal it with a bout of violent coughing.

Isabella thought. Hahaha, I knew it. How could he possibly forget everything? As expected, as his health improved, his memory also began to gradually return. But it seems like Carlos still thinks he's had a wild, exotic dream, one featuring someone way out of his league. Now, he's completely thrown off
David and the rest of the family also started coughing in succession.
So, this saga hasn't ended yet?
Actually, they too felt a bit strange. After all, they were now privy to such a major secret, one that they were keeping from their own family. It always seemed as if they were doing something wrong.
If Carlos could regain his memory on his own, that would truly be wonderful.
However, Carlos was rather foolish to end up thinking he was dreaming.
Could it be that the perilous situation that day had left him traumatized, leading to these dreams?
Alexander could empathize with him. After all, Sylvie acted as if nothing had happened with her teacher. Naturally, Carlos wouldn't suspect anything.
So, it was still uncertain if the latter had regained his memory.
Driven by intense curiosity, Carlos went to the school to tie up loose ends. Isabella, Rosalie, and Christopher-the three with the most free time-followed him. They claimed it was because they were worried about Carlos, but in reality, they were just there for the drama. However, once they arrived at the school, Carlos went to the dean's office, leaving the three to leisurely wander the corridors, taking in their surroundings.
By sheer coincidence, they happened to spot Sylvie emerging from an office.
Upon seeing them, Sylvie clearly recognized them. Her expression tensed for a moment. Only after a quick scan of the area revealed that Carlos was not present did she slightly relax.
She nodded to greet them with a slight smile.
Since they weren't acquainted, it wasn't appropriate to hold someone back just to talk. All they could do was watch with a heavy heart as Sylvie walked away.
As soon she left, Christopher was taken aback and exclaimed, "Huh? This office? She's leaving?"

Upon looking up. Isabella and Rosalie were immediately taken aback.
At that time, within the office, Carlos heard the dean instructing him to suspend the remainde classes for the term and to take a good rest. He nodded in agreement. #Finished

Naturally, the school wasn't intentionally making things difficult for him. The incident had indeed caused an uproar, and it was hard for everyone to settle down if Carlos attended classes as if nothing had happened. Carlos had also intended to ask for a leave of absence, so the dean's arrangement was coincidentally in line with his plans.
Subsequently, the dean spoke, "However, starting next semester, apart from the regular faculty, would you consider taking on more students?"
Immediately, the resistance on Carlos' face was telling
The dean spoke with a hint of bitterness. "You can't let be once bitten, twice shy. After all, it's rare to find someone like Penelope. There are plenty of talented individuals who simply lack the financial means. They need the help of wealthy teachers like you." The dean was reluctant to let go of a volunteer like Carlos, heaping the latter with praise.
"Don't you think it's a shame to deprive others of a chance to do well just because of Penelope?" The gave Carlos a hopeful look.

The kind-hearted Carlos naturally couldn't resist. He could only nod and ask, "Alright, do you have anyone in mind?"
The Dean promptly submitted the prepared list.
Maybe we should take in a few more? It would be safer to have them keeping an eye on each other. Of course, we'll assess their character first," the dean said with a smile.
Carlos wouldn't have actually ceased all his help to other students just because of Penelope. However, he knew his judgment wasn't the best, so he decided to choose from the candidates recommended by the dean.
However, because of that dream, his first instinct was to look for the name Sylvie.
After all, aside from Penelope, Sylvie was the best performer in their cohort.
Naturally, Carlos assumed that Sylvie's name would be on the list.
After scanning the list, he saw nothing. Only after double-checking did he confirm that it truly wasn't
there.
