Chapter 31
Chapter 31 Anne raised her head tearfully. “I…I feel so uncomfortable…I’m on my period…”
Lucia saw her clutching her stomach and said, “That looks pretty serious! Would you want to take sick leave?”
Another colleague, Zelda, sneered, “What an interesting conversation I’m hearing here! I’m also on my period, and yet you don’t see me taking leave, do you?”
“Hey, don’t you think that’s a little too harsh?” Lucia, who had just started speaking, lowered her voice and frowned.
“I’m not exactly wrong, am I? You’re now telling me every woman that has dysmenorrhea should take leave?”
“Can’t you see how much pain she is in?”
“Well, she’s not going to die, is she?” Zelda snorted. Anne knew that Zelda had a good relationship with her former supervisor, and she must be distraught when she got dismissed.
Using the wall to support herself, she stood up slowly from the ground. “I’m fine…” After saying that, she left the bathroom.
She was not in pain because of her period, but it was the
best reason she could give.
The surgery clinic was under the complete control of Anthony, and she knew that the moment she took leave, it would immediately be known by everyone.
Anthony had taken a call to fire her supervisor less than 12 hours after she was dismissed, proving her point. So, in this case, even if she had a passport and ID card, she might not be able to leave Luton.
However, now that her daughter was ill, she really wanted to leave!
Even if there was a risk of being caught by Anthony! Anne looked nonchalant, but deep down, she was feeling very anxious.
After only waiting for half an hour, she hurried to the bathroom to call Nancy.
It took a while for Nancy to answer the phone.
Every second of waiting was like torture to her. “Nancy, how is Chloe?”
“I just arrived at the hospital…” Nancy was panting.
Anne put her hand to her forehead. “I’ll be fine, please call me after you calm down.” She did not know whether she was comforting Nancy or herself.
Her soul felt as if it was torn from her body.
“Okay…”
Nancy knew that Anne was feeling anxious, so instead of calling, she texted Anne every once in a while.
(She is no longer spasming, and is having an IV drip.] (The IV drip is finished, and the fever is gone.]
–
[I asked the nurse to help look after the children, I went back to see Charlie and Chris, and then brought them over.]
C
(Charlie and Chris ran out of the elevator barefooted because they could not find me when they woke up. I was lucky to get back home in time.]
[Anne, when will you return?]
Anne was a mother to three kids. She felt so heartbroken, she covered her face and hid in the bathroom crying.
She did not want to draw unnecessary attention , so she could only bite her arm tightly with her teeth to prevent her crying from being heard.
She bit herself so hard she almost drew blood.
When should she return? She had to!
Anne calmed herself down and replied with a text message, [I will return in half a month!)
Chloe was lying on the hospital bed, as dainty as a doll. Her little round face was flushed because of the fever and
sickness, and she curled into a small ball under her quilt. The first word she spoke after she opened her beautiful watery eyes was, “Mama…”
However, she only saw Nancy and her brothers by the bed. “Sister, don’t be afraid, I will accompany you!” Charlie’s soft little hand gently touched his sister’s face.
“Sickness sickness go away! My sister will recover very soon!” Chris grabbed Chloe’s hand in his.
“Hmm…” Chloe could not see her Mama and she wanted to cry, but she held back her tears, forcing her small mouth shut, feeling very aggrieved, “When will Mama be back?”
“Nancy says we will see her in half a month!” Charlie said.
“Do you know how many days that is?” Chris asked.
Chloe replied weakly, “About fifteen days…”
“Yes! We’ll be waiting for Mama together!” Charlie raised his fists to cheer everyone up. Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
