Chapter 19 Occupational Injury
When I regained consciousness, I found myself in the hospital again. I thought I must've been fated with Greenbow Hospital
The doctor, Patrick Price, said helplessly, "You're amazing, Eva Green. I've never encountered such a rebellious patient."
I sat up and hurriedly explained myself. "Dr. Price, heat me out. I wasn't being reckless this time. I just suddenly passed out.
"You're working so hard, yet you're not taking your medication. It's only normal that you pass out! You passed our today because of the sudden situation. If you can, you shouldn't work... Never mind. You should just be careful." Patrick couldn't finish his sentence because he knew that I was poor. I couldn't afford to not work, I simply nodded at the doctor's words. Now that I had a salary, I could survive.
Patrick looked at my case lile and whispered, "It's time for you to get the injection. It's pricey and you need to make a reservation. Can you afford it now?"
"es I can make a reservation. Would you need me to make a prepayment?" I asked hopefully.
Isilently calculated how much money I would receive when the project succeeded.
Upon hearing my words, Patrick sighed in relief. He told me that I didn't have to pay a deposit and that he would make the reservation on my behalf. But with the impending chemotherapy. he was concerned about me.
"Your situation isn't looking too bright. A third relapse could occur. You should remain optimistic. I would recommend you start chemotherapy sooner and make sure nutrients. You're too skinny"

When I saw my skinny hands, 1 felt upset too. I knew I was skinny, but I didn't dare to eat more. I didn't have the appetite either.
But at the thought of how damaging chemotherapy was to the body, I decided to buy health supplements for myself.

Patrick gave me more advice before leaving Before he left, he turned around and asked, "Do you need any other help?"
Isaid. "Please don't let my family know. Dr. Price"
Aside from my husband, 1 had no other family members, but I didn't want Leonard to know about this. Lennard may even accuse me of having schemed against him with the doctor. I thought it was better for Leonard to acum was being difficult With that, Battick nodded and leir

When my only family member, Leonard, arrived, I was done with the injections. Lily clung onto Leonard's arm. They looked like a couple who had come to visit somebody at the hospital. Seeing that I was fine and munching away on an apple, Lily became upset. "Eva, we saw the security footage. They were quite a distance away from you. Why did you pass out? You can't possibly be trying to use that to blackmail them, right?"Material © of .
I mumbled, "You're very clever. If the CEO's wife pretended to have passed out just to blacknall other people. I'm sure this would make it to the news, Aren't you going to contact the publicity department?"
"You!" Lily wanted to get closer, but with Leonard present, attention!

"What's wrong with you? Are you really sick?"
"Yeah, really am sick," I saidamotionlessly, but I secretly felt anxious.
Leonard arrived very quickly this time, and that gave me hope. I was being honest with Leonard, but he obviously didn't believe in what I said
Lily hurriedly chimed in, "I asked the doctor, and he said you're fine. It might have just been a heat stroke
"You were also pretending to throw up in the office the last time. Everyone saw that you didn't it at all. All you know is to pretend to be pitiful!"
Lily was implying that I had done that just to attract Leonard's attention.
I nodded casually and said to Leonard, "Whether or not I was pretending to be pitiful, actually passed our and got admitted into the hospital. All this happened at work too." Leonard's expression shifted. He gazed intently at me and asked, "What do you mean by that?" "That means it was an occupational injury. Please reimburse me for it. Mr. Wells footed the medical bills too."
I didn't want to owe Robert a favor, but I didn't want to pay for it out of my own pocket wither. Since it was an occupational injury, it only made sense that the company reimbursed me.
Leonard's chest heaved. He was at a loss for words. Meanwhile, Lily was snickering away. She pleated over me, deliberately showing off her new watch coo.
After glancing at the watch, I guessed that it was worth at least 100,000 dollars. I chuckled to myself with self-pity, thinking that Leonard must really like her.
Lily seemed to be pleased with my reaction. She pouted and bugged at Lepard's sleeves.
"Leo, maybe Eva is just having a difficult time. You should reimburse her."
I silently neered. It was itens how the mistress was telling my husband about my difficulties. Leonard glared at me and snarled, "Whatever."
Then, he left with Lily, slanging the door behind them. My smile froze, and fealittle emotional
