Chapter 266

Waking up with a headache that felt like a marching band was playing in her skull, Leanne dragged herself out of bed, took a shower, and got dressed for work.

While sitting in her clinic, she occasionally massaged her temples and swallowed a painkiller, which only slightly eased the discomfort.

By noon, after a morning of back-to-back patients, she stepped out of her office just in time to hear the receptionist, buzzing with excitement about some snow. Leanne paid it no mind.

Heading to the cafeteria to grab lunch, she bumped into Selina, who seemed to have just snapped out of a daze.

Both she and Joy had partied too hard the previous night. Joy was so exhausted she couldn’t stop yawning.

“Surviving a night out and then working the next day. What a curse!” she lamented.

“Why don’t you sneak in a nap?” Leanne suggested.

Ms. Turner didn’t quite grasp the survival tactics of the working dead. Joy, unabashed, retorted, “With my stunning looks, the boss keeps an eye on me all the time. No chance for naps.”

Then, turning to Leanne, she asked, “When did you leave last night?”

“I’m drawing a blank.”
