Hayley’s POV:

I had no idea how long I’d been asleep, but when I opened my eyes again, the sky outside had already turned to dusk.

I called out to Hera. “Hera, why is this gunshot wound healing so slowly? I feel weaker than I used to.”

Hera sounded frustrated. “This injury happened in the underground. It’s had a much deeper impact than usual.”

I didn’t ask anything more, but when I moved my arm, the pain made me gasp.

“Don’t move!” A familiar voice sounded in my ear, and Hera suddenly seemed much happier.

I froze for a moment, then looked up, meeting Benjamin’s gaze. “Why are you here?”

Benjamin’s face was serious as he said, “Henry said you passed out, so I came right away.”

I rubbed my head as the memories of what happened before I passed out came rushing back.

quickly covered it up, saying, “I probably just had a little low blood sugar, that’s why I fainted.”

Benjamin frowned. “The doctor said the same thing, but I can clearly tell you look much worse today compared to usual.”

“If you’re not feeling well, just rest properly. I’ll notify the school tomorrow–you don’t need to go.”

“No,” I refused immediately. “Exams are coming up, and I don’t want to fall behind.”

My excuse was perfectly reasonable, but Benjamin wasn’t having it.

“No exam is more important than your health. It’s just one day. If you don’t understand something, I’ll have Henry come back to tutor you. As for your assignments, he can relay them to you as well.”

“But…”
