Gustin, Claudia, Kaela, and Nefriti were stunned when they heard the voice of Adeline. They were talking in that room thinking that Adeline was still unconscious. But when they knew that she had been listening to them all along, their heart was about to explode due to excessive beating.

Nefriti even feared that they wouldn't be allowed to take the test which was due in a few days.
