My Substitute Wife is a Bigwig (Loud and Lily) novel Chapter 127

Loid smiled. He pulled Lily closer and tousled her hair gently. "Is it working?"

If seducing her worked, then he wouldn't need to be jealous of other men. He really did not like that feeling.

Lily folded her arms, her eyes twinkling mischievously. "Maybe it is."

Then, she grabbed a white shirt and went back into the bathroom to get dressed.

The amusement in Loid's eyes deepened. Without another word, he left the room and went to the other bathroom to shower.

Lily was still up when he returned. She was scrolling on her phone, looking for something. Loid walked closer and glanced at her phone.

"You're looking for Redushil?" he asked in surprise.

Lily looked up. "You know about Redushil?"

"I've heard of it." Loid poured two glasses of water and handed one to Lily. "I think the Weiss family has some."

Lily nodded. "Yeah. They do."

"Why are you looking for Redushil?" Loid took a sip from his glass as he sat beside Lily.

"For the antidote." Lily put away her phone, her spirits down. "I need Redushil to make the antidote for Mindshroud poison. But the Weiss family only has enough for one dose…"

Loid paused. They only had one dose? Did that mean that Lily would only be able to save one person? Was she deliberating between Belinda and Jason?

Loid glanced sideways at her. She was expressionless. There was no sign of dilemma on her face. She had always hidden herself and her emotions well. If only she would show him some weakness…

With that thought, Loid reached out and took her hand. "Save Grandma first," he said gently.

As soon as the bell signaled the start of the exam, Lily wrote furiously on her paper. She finished everything quickly and wrote a long essay for the last part. She turned in her exam paper half an hour after the bell rang.

Lily was pretty well-known in school, so when the invigilator saw her turning in her paper early, he shook his head. He figured that Lily was probably going to end up at the bottom of her class again.

However, when he glanced through her paper, he was shocked. How could this be?

In the afternoon, Lily sat for her Math paper. Again, she turned in her paper early.

This time, however, she did not complete all of the questions. She only did the last four questions, which were worth 60% of the grade, which was just enough for her to scrape a pass.

For the next few exams, Lily turned in her papers early as well. After all the exams were done, the teachers sat down to grade the papers.

In the teachers' office, one of the physics teachers, Enid Matthews, sighed as she went through the papers. "These papers were hard. Most of the students weren't able to answer the questions correctly."
