Neil left shortly after he had finished his business in B City. Because he did not want his pregnant wife to worry about Hazel, Neil had requested that the matter be settled in a low profile. Other than those who were involved, there were not many people who knew about what Kevin Xu had done.

The university was of course, happy with Neil's decision. After all, it would never be a good thing to have someone like Kevin be related to the university. No one would want to be associate with someone who had used date rape drugs. It would only drag the university's good name down.

Alex was allowed to be discharged once the doctor cleared that there was nothing wrong with his body. 

However, there was a certain someone who could not stop worrying about him. In the end, there was nothing else he could do but to take a few days off work and rest at home to assure his girlfriend.

Fortunately, his family members were unaware of what had happened in B City. Or else, Alex was sure that his mother would drag his father to fly all over to B City to visit him. 

With Hazel around, Alex could sit back and enjoyed her treatment. Because Hazel wanted to keep a close eye on Alex, she had decided to move earlier to the nit next door. 

Seeing that he could see her face every time he ate his meal, Alex was naturally happy. The two of them spent most of their time doing nothing other than keeping each other's company until Hazel was assured that there was nothing wrong with his body.

After he was sent to the detention center, Kevin had requested through his lawyer to meet up with Hazel but his request was rejected. 

Since he had harbored an evil intention towards her, Hazel saw no point in meeting him. He had done something wrong and deserved to be punished for it. Even if he wanted to apologize, Hazel was not going to forgive him.

Fortunately, she was able to avoid this drug and Kevin's plan. What if she fell for it instead and Kevin succeed in doing what he wanted to do?

Then, would he plead for her mercy as he would do now?

Kevin did not suffer alone from his stupid act. A few days after he was detained, Kevin's elder brother came to meet him in the detention center and demanded to know about the person he had offended. 

It seemed that after the police had caught him, Xu's family had faced a lot of pressure from all sides. His father's political career that was about to begin had ended. Meanwhile, his brother's company that was starting to grow had almost gone bankrupt. The investors who were interested in his company had suddenly pulled out without giving out any reasons.

Some of them were willing to pay a penalty for breaching their contract rather than staying with them. It seemed that everyone wanted to distance away from their family.

However, Kevin did not dare to say anything.

When his brother finally found out about the people that Kevin had offended, he was shocked. He had never thought that Kevin would dare to offend such people.

As a businessman with a company that had only started to flourish, the brother had always wanted to attract the bigshots' attention. However, this was not the way that he hoped to get their attention.

After fighting to stay around, the Xu family finally gave up and decided to move away from B City and settled in a smaller city.

Later, Kevin was put on trial. When the judge had read his case, Kevin had pleaded not guilty. However, the evidence piled up in front of him and a few victims had stepped forward to testify against him. 

The trial lasted for a few months. In the end, Kevin was found guilty and had received the maximum penalty for his crime. It seemed that he will have to stay in prison for a long, long time.

Once a bright student who had a good future in his academic and basketball had to spend his youth behind bars for years because of one stupid move.

Hazel's internship at a robotic company finally began. Because the company was not that far from Alex's company, the man had offered to drive her over and pick her up from the company.

On the first day of her internship, Alex came and picked her up in front of the company and helped her with the door. Seeing the tired look on her face, Alex let out a chuckle. "How is it? Tiring?"

"Un." Hazel nodded. "There are just too many things to learn. I did not think that it would be this tiring. Working and learning are definitely different. Alex, I think my brain is too tired to think."

Alex laughed. He stretched his hand to pat her hair. "Well, it was only your first day. You'll get used to it."

Hazel flashed a faint smile. "Hmm… After a few days, I will get used to it."

"Did anyone bullied you?"

"Of course not." Hazel chuckled. "The people are nice and helpful."

"Well, since this is your first day, let me treat you to a meal."

The smile on her lips widened. "Good."

Instead of starting the car and drive, Alex turned around and picked up something from the back seat. "For you."

Hazel was stunned when she saw the bouquet in his hand. She took the bouquet from him and sniffed at the flowers. Instantly, her expression brightened up. "What is this for? It's not a special day, is it?"

Hazel had noticed that Alex would give her a bouquet on her special days. The last time he had sent her flowers, it was to congratulate her for winning first place in a robotic competition.

"Well, it is a special day." Alex smiled. "Congratulations for going through your first day at your internship."

Hazel laughed upon hearing his words. "Thank you." She sniffed at the flowers again and felt her mood was slightly better. Leaning forward, Hazel pecked at his cheek. "Your reward."

Alex raised a brow and his lips curled into a playful smile. "Is that it?"

Hazel leaned forward again. This time, her lips landed on his for a peck. "Will this be enough?"

Of course, a mere peck would never be enough. Alex leaned forward and pressed his lips against hers again. After the fire in his heart was gradually calmed, Alex pulled away and stared at the girl with misty eyes.

His lips curled into a smile.. Satisfied with his reward, Alex drove away to the restaurant that he had booked earlier.
