Now, they were strong and tall , and their thick leaves cast dappled shadows on the ground , cooling the space around them . Evelyn opened her hand and held out the medal to him . Her palm was sweaty - maybe from gripping it too tightly or just nerves . The medal was slick with it . I'm returning this to its owner , " she said . Then , she winked at Philip . " I know what you were trying to do . Do I get a reward ? " She had figured it out . He could've just left his student ID like everyone else did . Back in 1983 , technology wasn't advanced enough for people to easily fake student IDs . So , the owner could track someone down if they didn't return the lunch boxes . But Philip didn't go that route . He left his precious medal instead . The reason ? He wanted Evelyn to find him again . She could've had someone else return a student ID , but not a medal . If she lost it , she couldn't replace it . Philip smiled warmly , his face lighting up . " Want a free meal as a thank - you ? " No way ! She wasn't going to use the same trick . " Take me to the shooting range after you're done training ," she said . She wanted to try out real guns . It sounded awesome . Philip didn't refuse and nodded . " Alright . Where should I meet you at eight ? " " I'll be- " Before she could finish , yelling broke out on the track . " Boss ! Quade just passed out ! " Everyone turned to see Quade Lambert on the ground , his body shaking slightly . They were all military students and used to messing around . But when things got serious , they froze up . When no one knew what to do , they went to Philip . 1/3 Tenght back be sad to Evelyn and dashed toward the training ground . Evelyn didn't waste a second and ran after him . Noting the surprise on his face , she quickly said . Tm a med student . I might be able to help . Don't think too much . Let's go At such a moment , someone with medical knowledge was a huge help . Philip didn't argue . He just picked up speed . Once they got there , Evelyn pushed through the crowd to give Quade some air , then started checking his pulse and pupils . She hadn't been a doctor in her previous life , but her volunteer work at nursing homes and orphanages had taught her a lot . Secang Quades muscles botching , she started rubbing his legs Is v . epilepsy " Quincy Lambert asked nervously . They were just about to begin their military internship . If Quade had epilepsy , he'd be disqualified , and everything he worked for over the past four years would go to waste . " Cut it out with that nonsense " Philip snapped , his tone sharp He squared to help massage Quade's other leg . Lowering his voice , he asked . " Is what Quincy said true ? " He was worried as well . Picking up on his tension helyn looked up and gave him a calm smile . " Nope, not epilepsy . That usually messes with the brain , causes full - body shaxing , and sometimes even foaming at the mouth . But look - only his legs are jerking , and his muscles are stiff . This is just a bad cramp ." Philip watched closely , Sure enough , under the uniform . Quade's legs were tight and rigid . It was a classic muscle cramp . ' Let's get him over to the infirmary so he can rest Quincy immediately said , " Tll carry him ! " He offered right away , but Philip wasn't exactly reassured . The military students weren't light , and he worried Quincy might not manage , so he stayed close in case he needed to step in . Evelyn naturally went along . At the infirmary , the campus doctor gave Quade a check - up and confirmed what Evelyn had already said . It was just a cramp from overworking his body and not getting enough calcium , which led to him passing out . It was nothing serious . Quincy finally breathed a sigh of relief , patting his chest in lingering fear . They were mid - run when he gave Quade a playful elbow to the chest , and that was when Quade collapsed The whole thing scared him to death . Tears started running down his face . " If something happened to Quade , his mom would be chasing me through the village with a knife " Quincy and Quade were from the same village , part of the Lamberts . Back there , they were named based on their birth order Even after coming to campus , that naming habit stuck around . Quincy noticed and looked a little sheepish as he sniffled . " Boss Lady , I'm just feeling a little emotional . I'm still manly , though . Don't laugh at me . " I'm not , Evelyn said seriously , shaking her head . Then , she paused , realizing something was wrong with his words . Wait - Boss Lady ? I'm not even dating Philip yet ! She felt awkward and thought about clearing things up , but Quincy jumped in first . " Boss Lady , you were incredible when you helped Quade earlier . I still can't believe what I saw . You and Boss will make such a great team . Everyone at base is gonna be jealous . " Evelyn's thoughts drifted Tle when she heard that . Maybe becoming a military doct would be a good idea . Since her rebirth , she'd been caught up in Alice and everything else . She hadn't considered her internship . In her previous life , her professor had planned to send her to a hospital in Southville . But Alice ended up stealing that spot . Honestly, the hospital didn't matter . It would be perfect if she could be closer to Philip . She made up her mind . As soon as Quade regained consciousness , she waved Philip goodbye and prepared to look for her professor to discuss her thoughts . Philip stood up as well with an unchanged expression . " Where are you headed ? I'll go with you . " " No , it's okay . I'm just going to the professor's office . It's not far . " She didn't want to bother him . But Quincy grinned and winked at her . " Come on , Boss Lady ! Let Boss show off a little ! It's only right for him to walk his girl
