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.”

The doctor looked at her with concern. “Are you sure you should be dealing with this in your condition? Can’t you ask someone else for help?”

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."

"I'll be careful," Alice assured the doctor. Seeing her determination, the doctor allowed her to go.

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

"Understood.

When Alicia left the hospital, it was already after eight in the evening.

The temperature had dropped noticeably. The autumn chill surprised her as she stepped outside.

It had been three days since Alicia had last contacted Caden. As she typed out a message, a feeling of unease crept over her. She asked, “Are you done with work?” It was usually the time of day when Caden was busiest.

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

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