Mr. Hill carefully held the test paper I had finished writing in his hand and said, "Very good. We even had a drink together yesterday."

"Yesterday, my mom told me that there is a free medical examination project for teachers at our local hospital. Since both you and Mr. Edwards love to drink, why don't you make an appointment together sometime to have a check?"

"Anyway, it doesn't cost any money."

"It's hard for you to have such a good intention. I will go with Mr. Edwards."

Sitting back in the classroom, I only vaguely had a real feeling.

The words on the test papers in front of me were one next to the other, densely packed, paving the way to the future.

Later, Rose approached me, but I refused her without hesitation.

I needed to work harder to catch up with my own progress from my last life.

I carefully calculated the time on the calendar. It was four months away from the college entrance examination, and Rose was already three months pregnant.

It was time to take action.
