Catching the sight of her on the front steps of her home, Rainie quickly nudged the sleeping girl, "Gui Gui, wake up...What brought you her at this hour?"

Being shook out of her slumber, she lazily rubbed her eyes clear as Rainie stooped down to behold her with concern and grabbed the girl's pair of cold hands to warm them.

Now fully recovering her awareness, Gui Gui managed an assured smile, "Rainie, glad you're back..."

Her pair of thin eyebrows creased in confusion, "Gui! How long have you been waiting here? I know it's summer, but night time is a definite no no for staying outdoors!"

Simply staring back at her, Gui Gui was silently thoughtful for a brief moment. Her passive reaction only worried Rainie all the more as she made her get up and unlocking the door, attempted to drag her fast into the house.

At the speediest pace, Rainie prepared for them both steaming hot chocolate in less than 2 minutes to offer one of them to Gui Gui, earning a touching smile of thanks to the caring girl.

"You're welcome," she expressed flatly. "And now, tell me what problem have you to share with me? Is it because of the CPR test grade?"

Gui Gui's eyes widen and set down the drink on the coffee table right away to explain, "No, Rainie...I have come to let you know of a very important decision..."

Rainie immediately turned curious, "Huh? You sound so serious...What's the matter? Are you feeling well?"

The unusually calm girl eagerly nodded to dismiss Rainie's doubts. She then resolutely cleared her throat and declared, "Actually, from this moment onwards, I don't need you to strive so hard in being my substitute anymore, attending classes and taking examinations in my place..."

Rainie was dumbfounded, too taken aback to utter any word.

As for Gui Gui, she reached over to a huge bag beside the sofa that she had brought along. Offering it back to Rainie, she gratefully added, "Thank you for all these disguise gear you had let me use for so long...Now, I am returning them to you...Rainie, I owe everything to you..."

It was difficult for Rainie to imagine, since Gui Gui wanted so much to be a nursing graduate. She took her hand in hers, "Gui Gui, am I hearing things? We're almost near to finishing all requirements...And, it's been two years..."

Gui Gui shook her head, "Rainie, this is being extremely unfair to you...I want to devote most of my time to work, yet did not put in any effort for my studies...You even need to take care of my ailing grandmother in the hospital every now and then..."

Rainie felt her words so deeply that tears nearly welled up in her eyes. Pressing Gui Gui's hand, she asked emotionally, "But, don't you think it's very troublesome to give up now?"

She denied, "Don't worry, I have my way of sorting this out...Trust me and wait for my text tomorrow, okay?"

Rainie still could not readily surrender her cares, "Gui, are you sure this is gonna work?"

She pouted and waved a finger at her, "Come on, that's why I requested for you to have confidence in me this time...Things will go on smoothly...However, I must demand for a clarification from you this time, where have you been more than half the day? I called your cell so many times and it's your new manager who answered...Worst still, he told me you'd gone missing! Are you alright, Rainie? Just what had gone wrong?"

She faced her with a defeated look, "Err...Well, I am not sure what's the right word to describe...I was really scared out of my wits...It's frighteningly 'spooky'..."

Gui Gui was overly puzzled.
