Chapter 23

Due to the blood loss, after stitching up the wound, she still needed an IV. Only after ensuring that the fluid wouldn’t affect the baby did she agree to it.

With the arrival of autumn, many people caught colds. At this point, the infusion hall was packed.

Rosalynn squeezed into a corner, exhausted and pale from blood loss. She began to doze off. Just as she was about to fall asleep, Alexis, who’d been gone for a while, rushed back. Somehow, she’d bought a bottle of chicken soup.

“Secretary Tesdal, it’s still warm. Take a few sips to help you regain some energy!”

Rosalynn couldn’t help but smile. “I’m fine. Just go back to work.”

“Work? You helped me win the Prodigy Inc. contract. The commission alone is enough for me to live comfortably for a while!” Alexis paused for a moment. “I was wrong about you earlier. I’m sorry.”

Rosalynn shook her head without saying a word. She couldn’t bring herself to say it was okay.

Alexis got the hint. Apologizing was necessary, forgiveness was not.

In the end, Alexis was called away by a work-related phone call. An issue had arisen at the site of a project she was responsible for and she had to go fix it.

Before leaving, she made sure to add Rosalynn on WhatsApp.
