The Heiress’s Second Chance at Vengeance
Chapter 62 A Faint in the Cold
Seeing Eliza fast asleep, Nolan walked slowly to his seat without making a sound.
Henry and Colton exchanged glances.
Not far away, Lewis, who was reading a book, glanced at Nolan out of the corner of his eye.

Everyone in Class Six was momentarily quiet. After all, they had all heard the rumors about Eliza and Nolan from a while
ago.
Henry lowered his voice and asked, “Nolan, what’s going on? You haven’t been to school for the past few days.”
“Family matters,” Nolan replied, clearly not wanting to elaborate on the topic.
Henry didn’t press further.
After all, with the Hayes family being such a large enterprise, if there was really something going on, it wouldn’t be simple.
Nolan asked, “What’s wrong with her?”
“Just too tired,” Henry explained. “Isn’t the New Year’s Eve party coming up soon? Eliza signed up for a performance and has been practicing like crazy every day. Plus, she has to stay up late to do her homework, and with our daily physical activities, it’s too much for anyone to handle.”
Upon hearing about the New Year’s Eve party, Nolan’s brow furrowed slightly.
Henry continued, “She cares so much about this party for some reason. I don’t know why.”
Nolan looked at the sleeping Eliza in front of him and fell silent.
The bell for the first class rang.
Hearing the classroom bell, Eliza slowly opened her eyes.
She hadn’t slept much the night before and had barely managed to finish all her homework.
When the teacher entered the classroom and saw Eliza’s weary expression, he said, “Eliza, everyone else in this class doesn’t study, but you can’t afford to slack off. Don’t let winning the math competition make you complacent, okay?”
“Understood, teacher,” Eliza replied, rubbing her temples and taking a sip of water to force herself to stay awake.
If you’re sleepy, just go ahead and sleep. It’s really not a big deal,” Henry and the others never paid attention in class. The teacher continued teaching as usual.
Eliza shook her head, “No, this class is important.”
I’m not like Henry, Colton, or Lewis, nor am I a genius like Nolan.
My academic achievements are the result of my own hard work.
If I missed a class, I might not understand the subsequent lessons.
I couldn’t afford to let myself go before graduation.
“If you don’t understand something, just let Nolan teach you,” Henry suggested.
At that moment, Nolan, who was sitting behind him, slowly said, “Speak Straonesh.”
“Nuh?”
Henry was taken aback.
Speak Straonesh?
Without looking up, Nolan said indifferently, “Eliza’s weakness is Straonesh. From now on, speak to her in Straonesh.”

poor Straonesh?”
If that were true, then Eliza’s other subjects must be incredibly good.
Eliza quietly raised her hand towards Henry, “Sorry, I’m the one with poor Straonesh.”
Henry was left with no choice but to say, “Alright, from now on, we’ll only speak Straonesh!”
Henry turned to the others and said, “From now on, everyone speaks Straonesh, got it?”

Colton raised his hand to indicate that he had heard.
The other students tried to hold back their laughter but also raised their hands.
The teacher at the front of the classroom had no idea what these students were up to and just sighed inwardly.
Why did there always have to be such an outrageous class every year?
It was time for the break exercise.
When Eliza stood up, she felt a bit dizzy. Nolan, who was behind her, quickly noticed something was wrong, “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing, probably didn’t sleep well last night,” Eliza shook her head.
Henry called out from the door, “Eliza! Nolan! It’s time to line up.”
“Okay.”
Eliza responded and walked out of the classroom.
Nolan didn’t say anything but followed behind her.
It was very cold outside in the winter.
When Eliza had run away from home, she hadn’t taken anything with her, including warm clothes.
Fortunately, she had the school’s winter uniform, but the clothes underneath were still thin.
During the run, Eliza was at the back. Henry felt something was off and deliberately slowed down the pace, jogging behind her, “Eliza, are you feeling unwell?”
Eliza’s voice was a bit hoarse, “I suddenly feel… a bit dizzy, and my legs feel heavy.”
“Dizzy?”
Because of the running, Eliza’s breathing was heavier, and her face was redder than when they had come down earlier.
Before Henry could reach out to touch Eliza’s forehead, she had already blacked out and started to fall forward.
“Ah! Eliza!”
Henry tried to catch Eliza, but Nolan was quicker and caught her in his arms first.
The students from Class Six stopped, causing the students from Class One to slow down as well.
“What’s going on? Why did they stop?” someone from Class One asked.
“No idea, it looks like someone fainted up ahead,” another student replied.
The students from Class One craned their necks to see what was happening. Zayden also noticed Nolan carrying Eliza away.
