Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1421

Juniper was speechless.

See?

This was exactly why she hadn't wanted her identity exposed.

"Right."

Juniper gathered her emotions and walked toward her seat.

As she passed Leland Landon, she deliberately paused and looked up at him. "You—"

"Dr. Nocturne!"

Leland, who had just sat down, sprang up in terror. He stood perfectly straight, his attitude incredibly respectful.

"I heard you went to the competition venue yesterday?" Juniper asked mildly. Her expression hadn't changed, yet her aura was terrifyingly intimidating.

"I did," Leland answered honestly.

He truly used to look down on Juniper. He thought she was just relying on her smarts to brazenly demand a spot in the modern medicine program, making Professor Dawson revolve around her.

Now that he knew she was the legendary doctor, he was completely humbled.

He truly admired her now.

"I'm sorry, Dr. Nocturne." Leland bowed to her, offering a formal apology. "I'm sorry for targeting you before. I was narrow-minded and ignorant."

"Oh."

Juniper's lips curved into a faint smile. "If you lack perspective, read more books. Don't act like the neighborhood gossip, always whispering behind people's backs."

"Lesson learned." Leland's face flushed red, not daring to argue.

"It's fine. Take a seat." Juniper shifted her tone, a slight smile appearing on her face. "Your professional skills are actually quite good. Keep up the hard work."

Leland looked up sharply, staring at Juniper in disbelief, his voice choking up.

He had thought...

He thought Dr. Nocturne would take this opportunity to exact revenge and say horrible things.

He never expected her to encourage him.

Comparing the two of them, he had really acted like a petty villain.

Leland was overcome with shame.
