He used to bully me Billy took his time sipping his nourishing beverage, his pale, thin face a sharp contrast to his previous plump self.
Liam’s eyes sparkled with joy as he gazed at his friend, while Jeff maintained a neutral expression, though his happiness was evident.
Suddenly, Billy pointed to a snack, his eyes gleaming with curiosity. “l want that blue one,’ he said, his voice weak but resolute. “I haven’t tried it before.” Liam’s face lit up, and he eagerly darted towards the snack. But Jeff caught up to him quickly, yanking the snack away with a stern expression that stopped Liam in his tracks.
ce: = “Billy can’t eat anything yet,” Jeff firmly stated in his tone “He just recovered and woke up.
The doctor said he can leave the hospital in a few days.” Billy rolled his eyes, a mixture of annoyance
and resignation evident in his expression.
Though he longed to satisfy his craving, he knew better than to argue with Jeff.
The room fell silent once more, the tension palpable. Liam’s joy gradually faded, replaced by a hint of disappointment. Billy stared at his drink, lost in thought.
Jeff continued to watch over them both.
“What is wrong with both of you?” Jeff questioned, seeing their expression.
“You are a meanie” Liam smacked his lips. ‘! remember you weren’t like this in high school even when we met again. You are indifferent.” Billy’s face suddenly lit up. “He wasn’t this indifferent before? I don’t think I’ve seen him smilé before.” “He did smile a lot even when he arrived here but ever since he became a Malfoy he changed and hed…” “What do you mean ever since he became a Malfoy?” Billy looked at Billy with
bewilderment and glanced back at Jeff who had this offhand look.
“Oh oh… slip of the tongue!” Liam widened his eyes, shocked at his own words. ‘I didn’t…
eit ivwas..! “Is it true? Is Jeff really a Malfoy?!” Billy questioned, surprise evident on his pale face.” Why didn’t you tell me, Jeff?” : “You didn’t ask” Jeff answered. “The police are going to come here later to ask you some questions. You can also tell us if you feel like we need to know something about it.” Billy paused for a second, his lips trembling.

“l also found something weird while checking your vitals,” Jeff said. “When did you start using narvotics? Why did you even start to take them?” “Jeff!” Liam called angrily. Jeff was too confrontational and too mean to someone who experienced something that tragic.
Liam also knew about what Jeff saw the night of the operation and he was so shocked. He
begged Jeff to keep it a secret since they might have been the reason Billy fell from the building.
Narvotics might be a drug to reduce pain but it is also an illegal drug that can cause numbing and several bad after-effects.
Jeff also believed that maybe Billy wasn’t pushed but fell off himself when he saw the.
traces of Narvotics. However, after Doctor Tony’s drama, he has this gnawing feeling that it is way more than Billy using Narvotics.
“What do you mean Narvotics? Why would I take that? I’m a medical student, Jeff. I would never do something so illegal” Billy defended himself, his lips still trembling.
If Billy didn’t use Narvotics, how does he have traces of it? “On the Stars Ball Night, did you drink anything?” Jeff asked.
“I drank a cup of champagne given to me by Tina and the cup you handed over to me when Jamie called you outside” Billy answered. “I didn’t drink that much.”
“Who’s Tina?” Jeff questioned.
“My date.” . “So that definitely means one of the drinks contained Narvotics?” Liam asked to befuddle.
“Who the hell would do that to Billy? Is it Tina?” “Maybe. We will have to look for evidence” Jeff I uttered. “But I think someone sent Tina, I someone that Billy is definitely afraid of. If you don’t tell us anything, how do you expect.us to I help?” Billy paused, hesitating to say a word. His eyes I were on his fingers as he fiddled with them. I I “Billy, what is going on with you? Tell us, so I that we can…” I “No” Billy cut in weakly. “You can’t help me. He will probably get away with it.” “Who is the ‘He’ you are talking about?” Liam was getting angry and couldn’t take Billy’s attitude anymore.
Billy almost died, he almost died but here he is, hesitating to mention the person behind the incident.
“Liam exchanged looks with Jeff who remained cool as if he didn’t care about Billy’s words.
“Don’t worry about it” Billy let out. “I don’t want you guys to be in danger because of me. He almost killed me, what do you think he will do to you if he ever finds out that you knew about him?” “I won’t be in danger. Jeff is a Malfoy and I’m also related to the Scavo. Which other Family is stronger than the two in Starry City?” Liam said trying to let Billy open up.
“He’s not from Starry City. He’s from Swillevin” Billy uttered, biting his lower lips nervously.
His Family is the strongest in Swillevin and he used to bully me in school too.” “The bully you talked about?” Jeff suddenly asked and Billy nodded.
Billy seemed to appreciate that Jeff remembered what he told him.
“He’s Atlas Grador’s brother, the one you were talking about when I woke up” Liam explained, his tone laced with nervousness. “Ronald Grador.” Billy wasn’t originally from Starry City. His native town is a small village not far from Starry City where his Grandmother lived.
Billy lived in Swillevin with his adoptive parents and attended the same school as the Grador’s Kids.
However, he left Swillevin after high school graduation and the college entrance examination.
“He used to bully me and…” At that moment, the hospital door was opened and an old woman sitting in a wheelchair came inside with Chris pushing the chair.
The 0ld Woman is Billy’s Grandmother.

“Grandma!” Billy exclaimed, his eyes tearing up.
“Billy” Grandmother cried, her lips forming into a smile. “I’m so glad you are okay! I’m so glad.
I’m sorry I didn’t take…” “No Grandma, I should be sorry. I’m sorry for worrying you, I’m okay now” Billy replied, his eyes filled with tears.
Billy and his Grandmother exchanged heartfelt words and his Grandmother gratefully thanked Jeff who took care of everything. i Billy’s Grandmother felt like Billy had finally had real friends after all he had gone through in Swillevin. Her joy couldn’t be compared to right now.
“I’m sorry but I have to leave to attend to some matters. I will come back in some days” Grandmother said.

She had to return to their town to attend to some matters after being away for some days.
While Billy was still unconscious, she would stay at his bedside for hours.
“Say Hi to Victoria for me” Billy nodded understandingly.
Victoria was his cousin who was also living with their Grandmother, She’s the one who always took care of the Old Woman.
“And take care of yourself, Jeff told me that the Doctor said you would be able to walk in a few days. Please take care.” Grandmother wasn’t actually crippled but after she heard of Billy’s accident, she temporarily lost her ability to walk.
Jeff and Liam also bid the Old Woman farewell.
After Billy’s Grandmother left, Billy switched on the TV in the room.
“The next headline is about the boy who fell from a building at the annual Stars Ball in All Stars University” The reporter’s voice rang out from the TV. “The Police just released a statement saying that the Boy’s fall wasn’t caused by someone or had something to do with a third party. The Boy, according to the police, jumped from the building on his own accord…” I
