Cyril froze, wondering who Wendy was calling "Cyril".


    Who was this Cyril?


    Wait, he was Cyril-but she shouldn''t call him that!


    Cyril was about to say something, but Wendy quickly scanned the room before turning and walking away.


    Halseyughed quietly, then nced at Cyril before hurrying after Wendy. "Wendy, wait up for me."


    Trish and Sienna were both shocked. "Professor Lincoln, did Wendy just call you by your first name? Has shepletely lost her mind?!"


    Trish and Sienna were stunned.


    Cyril was dumbfounded as well. This was the second time this had happened. He had no idea why Wendy called him by his first name so casually.


    Did she even know about respect or boundaries? Only his mentor, Dr. Cen, had the right to call him by his first


    name.


    And she actually said she trusted him to handle things-as if he needed her reassurance!


    Stanley watched as Wendy disappeared around the corner, his brow furrowed slightly. She truly was fearless, even addressing his uncle by his first name like it was nothing.


    At that moment, Zayn stepped forward, bringing Stanley back to the present. "Mr. Hawk, you have a dinner date with Ms. Jessica at seven tonight. I''ve made the reservation. We should head back now."


    Now that they had made up, Stanley had ns to take Jessica on a dinner date. Stanley turned to Cyril. "When does Dr. Cen''s lecture start?"


    Cyril replied, "Tomorrow morning."


    Stanley nodded. "I''ll be there tomorrow morning to see for myself just who this Dr. Cen really is."


    Wendy and Halsey were walking toward the girls'' dormitory, and Halsey couldn''t stopughing.


    "Wendy, you actually called my... I mean, Professor Lincoln by his first name. I''m dyingughing!"


    Wendy didn''t think there was anything wrong with calling him "Cyril".


    Noticing a familiar figure ahead of her, she paused mid-step.


    "Excuse me. Does Wendy live here?" asked the figure.


    The dorm supervisor replied, "Yes. Are you looking for her?"


    "I am. I''m her grandmother."


    "Oh, my. Your granddaughter is so beautiful."


    Right? She looks just like an angel from heaven."


    . Wendy froze in shock before rushing forward while calling out, “Grandma!"


    Glinda had arrived!


    Glinda turned around with a bright smile. "Wendy!"


    Wendy rushed forward and wrapped her arms around Glinda. "Grandma, what are you doing here?"


    She never expected Glinda to find her at the school.


    Glinda smiled warmly. "Wendy, it''s been two days since youst came home to see me. Didn''t you miss me?" Wendy''s eyes grew teary. She buried her face in Glinda''s shoulder, gently rubbing against it. "I did."


    "I missed you too, darling, so I came to see you! I didn''te in a fancy car or wear anything fancy today. I came all on my own. I didn''t want to be a burden on you."


    Glinda had dressed simply but neatly for the visit, her silver hair tied up in an elegant style, trying to blend in. Wendy felt a rush of emotion in her heart. That night, she had said those things to avoid worrying Glinda, but she didn''t expect Glinda to actually visit her.


    Wendy hugged Glinda once more, grateful to have such a wonderful grandmother. "Wendy, how are you adjusting to vendale University? How''s school going? Have you made any friends?" Glinda asked with concern.


    At that moment, Halsey stepped forward with a sweet smile. "Hello!"


    Glinda stared at Halsey for a moment, confused. "Bebe...?"


    "Who''s Bebe? My name is Halsey Mallin! I''m Wendy''s roommate and best friend. Wendy is such a good girl here at school, and we all really like her!" Halsey winked at Glinda, hoping thetter wouldn''t reveal anything about her true identity.
