Chapter 577

"No... I mean... kind of," I told her, my cheeks flushing. "I'm not really sure what's wrong. I think it's just a stomach bug. It's nothing to be too worried about. I think I just need to drink some water or something."

"You can't go on post with a stomach bug, Judy," she told me. "You know this, as does Marlo and Sampson."

I knew she was right, and I hated that she was. I took a deep breath and let my shoulders slump.

"Okay," I breathed. "But I really don't want to make a big deal out of this. Maybe they can give me something for the stomach bug, and I'll be on my way."

She nodded, holding up her hand.

“I promise,” she assured me. “We'll be in and out if it's nothing."
