Outside the infirmary, a crowd of girls gathered. The usually quiet place became incredibly lively today.
The reason was simple. The rumored octuplet brothers of the Vance family had appeared together. They looked identical and were extremely handsome. Many were curious about them because the eight rarely showed up simultaneously, and some had never even been seen in public before.
However, since Sharon returned to the Vance family, things changed. Whenever Sharon appeared in public, the eight almost never missed it and would always be by her side.
Sharon sat on the bed, obediently finishing the chicken soup. Her stomach felt warm, and her mood improved significantly.
But it was getting late.
Wendy received several calls from Arnold. Clearly, he was urging his wife to come home.
Wendy coughed, took Sharon’s hand, and said, “It’s getting late. I won’t bother you anymore. If you have any questions in the future, don’t hesitate to ask me. I consider you as my daughter.”
Sharon nodded obediently.
In fact, she wasn’t ignorant about period knowledge. But being cared for was completely different from taking care of herself.
After Wendy finished what she came to do, the eight brothers surrounded Sharon again, not giving anyone else a chance to show her concern.
Wendy pulled Nicholas aside and whispered, “Girls need attention during these days.”
“I know,” Nicholas said calmly, his handsome face showing no extra expression. Others couldn’t analyze his emotions from such a face.
Wendy was used to this. “Anyway, you have more opportunities to take care of Shari at school. Seize the chance, got it?”
Nicholas raised his eyebrows slightly. “Don’t worry.” He knew what to do.
“You fool, you don’t even know how to pursue a girl. Don’t let me down. I’ve set my heart on Shari. If you fail, don’t come back to see me,” Wendy said before preparing to leave.
Nicholas wanted to see her off, but Wendy said, “No need. I know this place well. You stay here.” Wendy walked out and answered the phone.
“It’s so late. Why aren’t you home yet?” Arnold’s plaintive voice came from the other end of the line. The usually aloof head of the Baxter family missed his wife terribly when alone.
“Okay, okay. I’m on my way back,” Wendy said as she took the school bus. She glanced at the familiar House of Ivory. She hadn’t been back to visit for years, but it seemed nothing had changed.
Wallace and the others in the infirmary felt heartbroken after seeing Sharon’s pale face. Their beloved Sharon looked incredibly cute even when sick..
Sharon couldn’t stand their concerned looks anymore. She said, “I’m going back to the dorm soon.”
Richard said, “We’ll walk you back.”
She thought it was unnecessary. It was just her period, not a terminal illness. She didn’t need them to care so much.
But her eight brothers‘ eyes were determined, and Sharon couldn’t refuse, so she had no choice but to nod.
Marvin said, “Sharon, we’ll send someone to bring you soup regularly from now on.”

He was still bothered by Wendy’s words. Although the Vance family didn’t have female elders, they could afford to hire a nutritionist.
Sharon didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. In fact, Wendy meant well.
She looked up and saw Nicholas standing outside. He was so quiet that he seemed invisible when he didn’t speak.
Noticing her gaze, Nicholas looked up and naturally walked closer. “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing. Thank you for today,” Sharon said instinctively, making up an excuse. She hadn’t planned to say anything, but she was grateful he had carried her to the infirmary; otherwise, she would have had to come here herself in soiled clothes.
“It’s nothing,” Nicholas looked a bit awkward. He still remembered making a fool of himself during the day, not knowing it was her period and thinking she was injured.
“Yeah, it’s no big deal.” Marvin suddenly stepped between them, blocking their view.
Wallace immediately said, “Sharon, let’s take you back to the dorm to rest.”
Richard took a step forward. “Should I carry you back?”
Sharon took her clean clothes. “No. I can walk.”
When she came to the infirmary, she had already drawn too much attention. Many had seen Nicholas carry her from the playground to the infirmary.
Her current principle was to keep a low profile. Finally, Sharon changed her clothes and walked towards the dormitory with her brothers.
Anyway, the scene was extremely eye–catching, not to mention Nicholas was there, too. With nine handsome guys by Sharon’s side, she looked like a movie heroine.
Someone secretly took a photo and posted it on the forum.
Student A: [The story of Sharon and nine handsome guys.]
Soon, the post received over a thousand clicks and comments.
Student B: [Oh my god, they’re so handsome. They stood in a row, and it looked like a movie scene.]
Student C: [Mr. Baxter is standing on the side, but it still doesn’t affect their handsomeness.]
Student D: [I wish I could be Sharon.]
Student E: [Oh, if only they were my brothers.]
Student F: [My brother is like trash compared to them.]
Student G: [God owes me a brother.]
Many who saw the photo just thought Sharon was happy and didn’t feel jealous. But some weren’t so kind.
When Lydia saw the photo and the comments, she was so angry that she almost smashed her phone.
