A month had passed since Eloise started her new chapter in life. She was named the goddess of the university and received quite a number of confessions in just her first month. However, she also earned the nickname of the 'ice goddess' because she will reject anyone who confesses to her. It was not something to be proud of but Eloise was not bothered by it at all.
"Eloise , are you really going to waste your youth? Don't you dream of love? Are you really going to be single for the rest of your life?" asked Katherine who was concerned about Eloise. "I told you, I don't want to fall in love…not now," she answered with a smile. "Eloise Washington, if it is because of that Nikolai jerk, I will go confront him," said Katherine who became riled up. "Stop right there," said Eloise who grabbed onto Katherine before she did something stupid. "I'm fine. I never dated before, so I don't see a problem to continue doing so. You know very well I was never interested in love," explained Eloise calmly. "Where is the girl who wondered about 'love' just a month ago? Where is the girl who fell in love?" asked Katherine , upset and angry. "Stop acting like a child. I thought about it calmly and I was just too emotional. I wasn't acting logically and rationally. Forget that, okay?" said Eloise who was trying to calm Katherine down. "This is all because of that Nikolai Gunther! I'm going to confront him!" said Katherine who dashed off.
As Katherine was burning in rage, she crossed the street without looking first. It was just her luck that a car was speeding her way. Eloise who saw this threw herself in front of the car and pushed Katherine away so as to protect her without a care for her own safety. With her eyes closed, Eloise thought she had met her end. What surprised her was not that she was safe and uninjured but the fact that someone protected her - Nikolai Gunther. The car managed to hit the brakes in time and only crashed into Nikolai slightly thus he was not badly injured. He protected Eloise while hugging her in his arms. This accident was witnessed by everyone around. Casey helped Katherine stand back up after she was pushed away to the sidewalk.
"You…" said Eloise as she noticed Nikolai . "Who told you to be this reckless?" asked Nikolai who still had a smirk on his face after being hit by a car. The siren of the ambulance filled the air as Nikolai was immediately brought to the hospital and treated for his injuries. Katherine, Eloise and Casey were waiting outside of the emergency room as Nikolai received his treatments. That was when a young man dressed in a suit came running towards their direction. "Pierre…" said Casey as he saw the man. His suit looked expensive but they were wrinkled, he was sweaty and his hair was a mess. "Nikolai. How is Nikolai ? Is he badly hurt?" asked the man, almost in tears. "Nikolai is fine. His injuries are not life-threatening," explained Casey calmly. The man finally let out a sigh of relief. At that moment, the doctor stepped out and asked for the guardian so this man spoke up. "The patient is under anesthetic. There are no life-threatening injuries but he did fracture his shoulder due to the impact from the collision. We will also have to wait for the results to know if he has any damage to his head but so far, he is not in any danger. He will need to rest for a week and we will then determine if his recovery state is good enough for his to discharge," said the doctor before leaving.
In the ward, Nikolai was lying on the bed as he was still unconscious. "My heart sank when I got the call from the hospital," said the man who held onto Nikolai 's hand tightly. "Um, I'm sorry…" apologized Eloise who felt guilty as she was the cause for his injury. "You…my Nikolai saved you, didn't he?" asked the man. Eloise nodded before replying "I'm very sorry…" The man smiled and said "Don't be sorry. Instead, be thankful that Nikolai was there. If it weren't for him, your parents would be very sad." Eloise suddenly confessed "Nobody will cry for me if I got hurt…" Her statement shocked everyone in the room. Katherine held Eloise 's arm and said "That's not true…" The man stood up and placed his hand gently on Eloise 's shoulder as he said "I can see why Nikolai saved you. Be nice to him, alright?" That night, Eloise was the only one who stayed behind and watched over Nikolai . She was worried since he had not woken up. She too felt like it was her responsibility to care for him since she was the reason he was in such a state.
"Eat up, Eloise . You haven't eaten all day," said Casey who returned from the convenience store with food and drinks. "Thanks but you can have it," said Eloise . "Don't faint on me, okay? We only need one patient in this room," said Casey , joking with Eloise so as to get her to eat. She smiled and thanked him for the food. "You should go home and rest. I can watch over him tonight. We have no lectures tomorrow anyway," said Casey . "I will stay…at least until he wakes up," said Eloise . "Well then, I won't stop you but you cannot be late for lecture tomorrow unless you want Nikolai to give you a nice lecture instead," said Casey who tried to lighten the atmosphere. That night, Nikolai regained consciousness and saw Eloise holding his hand although she had fallen asleep.
