Chapter 135 Wish Come True
If it hadn’t been for Charlie and Albert holding Elin back at that time, David would probably have been long gone. He was taken to the medical room and examined. Fortunately, it was just a bit of skin abrasion and a slight concussion according to the doctor.
David, who used to strut around, was a changed person. After that incident, he even kept his head down when he went to the restroom.
In the blink of an eye, the unexpected happened.
David fainted in the restroom, and someone witnessed it. He was found to have blood in his urine and had already been taken to the infirmary.
Every time he lost his temper, Elm found it hard to control his anger. Seeing him about to leave, Charlie stopped him. “You bullied me and Eileen back then. If you dare, come at me!”
Elm’s eyes darkened as he spat out two words: “Get lost!”
Elm bumped squarely into Charlie’s shoulder as he walked past him.
Seeing Elm like that infuriated Charlie. “I knew all along that you had feelings for Eileen. Don’t you dare forget what you said before!”
Albert warned. “Enough! Stop talking!”
Elm left without even turning his head back.
When everyone in the cla*s heard the news, their gazes, intentionally or not, all turned toward Vera.
However, Vera remained completely unaffected, continuing to work on the test paper in her hands without even lifting her head.
With so many people in the cla*sroom, it was not a place to chat.
Albert forcibly dragged Charlie to the lakeside for a breath of fresh air to cool down.
Albert’s voice was calm. “Is your head clear now?”
Charlie stood with his hands on his hips, still feeling frustrated, not knowing where to vent. “I just don’t understand. He used to be so hard on Eileen. How did he suddenly change his tune and now treat Eileen so well? He even stands up for her. David’s comment was just a joke. If it wasn’t for us cleaning up his mess, he would have been kicked out with Eileen a long time. ago. Also, every time he saw Eileen, he’d act like a dog trying to get close to her.”
Albert lowered his head and chuckled. “Charlie, that’s not how one should make a joke!”
If the pain Eileen has endured was inflicted upon you, and everyone picked at your wounds.

and laughed, would you find it amusing?” Albert did his best to explain things clearly and straightforwardly, as Charlie was someone who couldn’t think outside the box.
Charlie didn’t say a word.
“Moreover, the idea of a son paying for his father’s debts is outdated. We live in a society governed by law now. The crimes committed by Will will sooner or later be made public, and he will face legal punishment. Eileen hasn’t done anything, yet you’re placing the blame for Will’s mistakes on her. What kind of logic is that?”
Elm may seem reckless, but in reality, everything he does is based on his own reasoning. He’s not as much of a scoundrel as one might imagine. Sure, he appears to be an ignorant and incompetent rascal who hangs out with the popular girl, living a life of debauchery. However, have you ever seen him not return home all night with any other woman, or spend time alone with them?”
Hearing that, Charlie could hardly believe it. “Is this guy really still a virgin?”

“No, I mean his relationship with the popular girl is a sham!”
“What about Vera? Doesn’t he like Vera? That night, the two of them didn’t return home. They rode off gallantly on their bikes. Isn’t their relationship genuine?”
Albert smiled as he looked at the lake view in front of him. The wind was teasing the loose strands of hair on his forehead. “If I’m not mistaken, he was doing it all for Eileen to see!” Perhaps he has had his eyes on Eileen for quite some time now.
Charlie was somewhat perplexed. “Why? How did you figure it out? I don’t believe it!”
“Actually, when they were in the hospital, Elm had already started developing feelings for Eileen.”
“Who are you trying to fool?”
“Do you remember that time at the hospital when Elm lifted his shirt for a check-up? Do you remember the moon tattoo on his abdomen?” asked Albert.
Charlie vaguely recalled the incident. At the time, he had playfully teased Elm for being bold enough to have such a tattoo.
Back then, Elm had not offered any explanation.
Does this mean that Elm had been interested in Eileen from the very beginning? Charlie wondered. “Why doesn’t he pursue her then? He even treated Eileen poorly. When Vera was bullied, he believed Eileen was responsible and nearly choked her. If he likes her, isn’t he pushing her further away? It all seems so contradictory.”

Only Elm himself knows the answer to that. I suppose he has finally achieved what he desired said Albert. This is something Elm traded his life for.
Albert then patted Charlie’s shoulder. “Now that I’ve shared all this with you, you should understand, right?”
With his mindset and temperament, Charlie would continue to confront Elm.
They never cared about Elm’s identity.
Elm was indeed a friend worth cherishing for a lifetime. After all, they had known each other for many years.
If they were to break up the group, they would undoubtedly feel regretful.
