Chapter 841:

Gabriela, holding a teething stick, toddled briskly ahead, while Eileen followed with a bottle in hand, guiding her toward the break room.

The break room was vacant. Eileen rinsed a cup with hot water, balanced the temperature with some cold water, and turned just in time to see Gabriela nearing the door. Through the curtain, she noticed someone approaching. No, the person probably couldn’t see Gabriela from that angle. It was easy for them to accidentally bump into Gabriela!

Eileen hastily set her cup down and sprinted toward Gabriela. Before she could make out who was at the door, she noticed the steaming liquid about to cascade onto Gabriela’s body.

She swiftly covered Gabriela’s face with one hand and pulled her back by the collar with the other. Despite her quick reaction, the hot water splashed onto the back of her hand, and some droplets hit Gabriela’s arm.

Gabriela burst into tears. Pain throbbed in Eileen’s hand, and cold sweat ran down her face, but her focus was entirely on Gabriela. Ignoring her own burn, she bent down, scooped Gabriela up, and gently patted her back to calm her. Red marks appeared on Gabriela’s arm from the burns. Eileen wanted to apply cold water to them, but Gabriela clung tightly to her neck, crying uncontrollably.
