The next day at work, a nurse came for Leanne, saying Selina’s eyes were bothering her

again.

Leanne was in the middle of a retinal examination on a patient and responded without lifting her head, “Her eyes have been fine for a while now. Don’t fuss over her.”

“I’ll stop by once I’m done here,” Leanne said.

The nurse walked away, visibly relieved.

She didn’t look the least bit unwell.

Leanne remarked, “Can’t go a day without causing a scene, huh?”
