Chapter 118:

? ? ? ? ?

Alicia's injuries were not too serious. After three days in the hospital, she was almost back to her normal self. However, the doctor recommended that she remain under observation for a little longer because of her head injury.

“Could I go home just for tonight?” Alice asked. “I can come back early tomorrow for the IV.”

The doctor looked at her questioningly. “Is there something urgent you need to take care of?”

Alice hesitated to answer.

It wasn't exactly urgent, but if she ignored it, she would feel uncomfortable.

“Yes,” he replied, scratching his head nervously. Unfortunately, he grazed the wound, causing him to wince. “There’s… a broken pipe in my house. There’s no one to take care of it and I have to notify the manager.”

Alicia raised an eyebrow. “Is my condition that serious?”

"Not exactly, but you have to avoid overexertion. Even if you go home, make sure you get as much rest as possible."

"Make sure you come see me first thing tomorrow morning."

More than ten minutes passed before his reply came. “What's wrong?”

Alice replied: “It doesn't matter. Concentrate on your work.”
