With Simon, who had switched the glass vials, Veteris was safe and saved from being exposed another day. Mr. and Mrs. Davis's attempt had been wasted, and receiving no reaction from anyone even after noon, they finally decided to leave the university.
Conner met up with Melanie and Julie, who looked like they had come out from a war. He asked Melanie, "What were they doing here giving a surprise visit?"
"Their suspicion is growing about Veteris holding vampires, and for now, it seems like that they aren't going to come here anytime soon," replied Melanie. She let out an exasperated sigh.
"Looks like it was good that I showed up late in the lunchroom. Maximus came out of nowhere and dragged me out of the building," said Conner. "How are you doing?"
"I was stressed, but I am good now," replied Melanie. "If it weren't for Simon and Roman, I think we would have been in trouble."
