"Even if that was the case, what does that have to do with you?" Lucille looked at the young man's name tag, then called out to him. "Ronald, are you trying to repay me because I helped you out twice? Ronald turned his back to Lucille and said nothing.

It was because... she had guessed correctly.

He remained silent for a long time before finally saying, "I don't like owing favors."

"You don't owe me anything. I don't need you to pay me back, either."

Lucille sat down beside the railing on the rooftop and casually remarked, "There are still two minutes left before class. If you go back down now, you can still make it in time.

"It doesn't matter." A bitter smile flashed across Ronald's face. Perhaps he figured that he would never see her again in the future, so he spoke what he was truly thinking without hesitation.

"I have already submitted my application to drop out of school. After the school processes it, I will no longer be a student here. It

doesn't matter if I am late or not."

Lucille was a little surprised.

street, and Lucille understood. Thus, she didn't ask anything. All she said in reply was, "That's not a bad choice. There are all kinds. of paths in life."

"Thank you."

Ronald's gaze wavered slightly.

He had thought that Lucille would show him pity and feel bad for him like everyone else. At worst, she would ridicule him.

Even so, she didn't do any of that.

Her tone was completely normal, without any sympathy.

Just like that night when she squatted down and picked up the food that had fallen on the ground.

She showed him respect, which he had never received before.

For once, Ronald smiled. He looked at the blue sky above his head and suddenly felt a sense of pride in his heart.

That's right. There were countless paths in life that would lead him in different directions.

Before leaving the rooftop, Ronald looked back at Lucille and stated, "Lucille, I will repay you if I ever get the chance."

Lucille shook her head. It was obvious that she wasn't counting on it. She lowered her head and looked at the documents that she had unlocked on her phone.

The mission was extremely important. It was related to the lives of several dozen people. There was definitely no room for mistakes.

Lucille sat there for the entire morning, reading through the files intently.
