When Clara Grant saw Sarah Shelby, she immediately rushed to her side and asked worriedly, "Sarah, why haven't you been in class these past few days? I was worried sick about you."
This time, the bodyguards behind Sarah Shelby didn't step forward to pull Clara away. They just stood there, watching the two of them with blank expressions.
Sarah lowered her gaze, avoiding Clara's eyes. She forced a smile and said, "It's nothing. I just got my period, so I stayed home because of the cramps."
She didn't dare tell Clara that after she'd gone home that day, Ewan Stratton had punished her by forcing her to run until she passed out. She had been bedridden for days before she started to feel better.
'She didn't want Clara to worry about her.'
Clara Grant knew that Sarah Shelby suffered from painful periods. In the past, she always got cramps, though the severity varied each time. Sometimes they were mild, and other times they were severe.
