Chapter 82

The ward was enveloped in a serene silence, and Hazel had succumbed to sleep on the comfortable sofa. The only audible presence in the room was the gentle hum of the air conditioning unit, creating a rhythmic ambiance.

Amidst this peaceful stillness, her phone broke the quietude with a sudden ring, its sound slicing through the room. Hazel stirred on the sofa, eyes still closed, as she fumbled blindly to locate her phone. Finally seizing it, she answered the call.

“Hello,” she murmured, her voice still heavy with sleep. It was just past five in the morning, and the world outside was still wrapped in the calmness of dawn

Hazel recognized Chloe’s soft voice as it permeated through the phone, cutting through the stillness of the early morning.

“Did I wake you?” Chloe inquired, her tone carrying a subtle tension and genuine concern.

“No, it’s fine. Did something happen?” Hazel responded, her senses gradually awakening to the urgency in Chloe’s voice.

“I’m really sorry; I shouldn’t be calling but something happened with our project,” Chloe explained her words carrying anxiety.

The gravity of the situation seemed to seep through the phone, leaving Hazel anxious for more details.

Chloe’s voice trembled slightly as she continued, “I just got a call from the project supervisor, the first floor of the building, our designs there fell through.”

Hazel’s eyes widened, the sleep fully dissipating from her as she sat up. “We worked on that floor just yesterday,” she remarked, a hint of disbelief in her voice. The sudden turn of events was unsettling.

“What exactly happened?” Hazel questioned, her mind racing to grasp the cause of the situation.

“I don’t know,” Chloe admitted with a heavy sigh. “The security of the building called just now.”
