278: Retribution Arrives! _6
Viola Thompson was around his age, both of them being eighteen.
Yet Viola gave him an impression of an elder figure.
He became involuntarily reserved and cautious with his words in front of Viola.
Jem thought York was justifying himself with excuses, so he turned to Peter and asked, "What about you? Yorkshire admires Viola, what are your feelings towards her? You wouldn't be admiring her too, would you?"
Peter scratched his head, "I just think that Viola is quite impressive."
Jem was convinced that his roommates had both gone mad.
If not, how else could they have done such a crazy thing? He then warned, "If you guys have any brains left, quit the laboratory ASAP. Every experiment we do now will influence our credits. If Viola's laboratory gets canceled, what will happen to your credits?"
How would they graduate without credits?
York looked at Jem, "I appreciate your good intentions, but I still trust Viola."
Peter then also nodded firmly, "I trust her too!"
