You Have a New Job (Continued)

The group felt a chill run down their spines upon hearing this.

Theresa immediately stood up.

Theresa, where do you want to go?

"I'll contact Grandpa; only he knows what to do now!"

Theresa knew Kiana's true origins, which is why she had been trying to keep Kiana and Otto apart. But now, she couldn't care less about that. Putting aside Otto's schemes and plots, nothing was more important than Kiana's safety.

"Wait, the patient is awake!"

Just as Fu Hua and Bronya were considering their options for seeking help, a pleasant surprise came from the medical staff.

Without another word, everyone rushed in and crowded around Kiana's bedside.

But then she saw the white-haired girl blinking her eyes in a daze, clutching the blanket with both hands, looking both sleepy and confused.

"Everyone, why are you all here? What happened? Did I oversleep and miss the exam?"

"Kiana, how are you feeling right now? Do you know what happened to you?"

"What happened? Uh, I guess I overdid it during training the day before, and then went to sleep without treating my injury, so my body couldn't take it... Haha! I know I was wrong! Just let me rest for a bit, I won't do it again. I'm sorry, everyone."

Kiana gave a silly, goofy laugh, then sheepishly pulled the blanket up to cover half her face.

Hearing her say that, the others could only look at each other, suddenly feeling a little uncertain themselves.

Could it really be like that?

"Oh dear, what could possibly happen to me? I just overdid it lately, and I'm reflecting on it! Please stop surrounding me, it's preventing me from resting... If you want to scold me, can you wait until I've recovered?"

Kiana said weakly.

With perfectly normal reactions and expressions.

"You should rest well and avoid moving around too much these next few days. We'll go check with the medical department again."

Seeing Kiana's weak appearance and desire to rest, Theresa couldn't bear to press her further and made a decision on behalf of everyone.

The others didn't know what to say. Since Theresa, as his aunt, had said so, they could only express their concern briefly before leaving the ward one after another.

The room quieted down, and Raiden Mei, still worried, was the last to leave, her footsteps indeed fading into the distance.

Kiana confirmed that no one was guarding the door anymore.

So she hugged her pillow, curled up, trembling, suppressing her sobs, her tears gradually soaking the bed.

It's over.

I finished writing the materials for my project yesterday, and I thought I could finally have a weekend off. Last night, my boss called, saying there was a problem with another project's paperwork, and time was tight, so I needed to go help them. I was okay with that, thinking it was just a matter of time constraints, and I was just going to lend a hand to their project team. But when I got there today, there were only two people there! I was supposed to be a key contributor! It's not even my project, and I didn't write the materials. They just copied and pasted things that are unusable because they're duplicates of other people's work—what does that have to do with me? Anyway, I just got off work, and now I'm completely exhausted... I've already lost count of how many weekends I've missed. I'll just take a day off tomorrow and see what happens.
