Chapter 25 Someone Who Died in the Past
She pushed the IV machine to her room. Carley came back with some oatmeal porridge. She got up and hurried over.
“You’re walking around with a fever that’s just gone down, weren’t you?”
Carley sat her down on the hospital bed and told her, with a straight face, “You have a heart condition, you need to be careful.”
Jennifer’s heart warmed up. She smiled. “I was going to get the report.”
“I can get it for you,” Carley said as she opened the take-out for her. “Why were you walking around?”
With that, she extended her hand with concern, “Where was the report? Show it to me.”
Jennifer blinked. Not wanting to lie to Carley, she said, “I went to the Doctor for a report, and I left it in the consulting room.”
Carley didn’t think anything of it. She was just concerned about her health. “What did the report say?”
“It’s just a blood test,” Jennifer replied unhurriedly. “It’s nothing.”
Carley stopped stirring the oatmeal and looked at Jennifer seriously. “You’re not like normal people. You have cordial problems. Blood tests were the most important test.”
Jennifer smiled. “I see. The Doctor said it was nothing. My heart was fine. Don’t worry.”
Carley then relaxed and handed the oatmeal porridge to Jennifer. “I got your favorite,” she said. “Have some.”
Jennifer took it and had a mouthful.
Carley looked at the pale Jennifer and hesitated. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
If she heard it correctly, Jennifer called out to Hill.
He had been a taboo for Jennifer, and it was the first time in years that she had heard her call Hill’s name in her sleep.
Carley wanted to ask Jennifer if she hasn’t forgotten Hill in the back of her mind, but she didn’t want to rub it in.
Carley thought about it for a long time but finally decided to shut up. Hill was a dead man in the past, and mentioning him would only add to her troubles.
Jennifer finished half a bowl, put down her spoon, and asked Carley, “Shouldn’t you be at work?”
Carley pointed at her watch. “What am I doing at this Hour?”
“And you…”
“Took two days off to keep you company.”
Carley lay down on the empty bed next to her. “It’s a good chance for me to get some rest,” she said.
Jennifer smiled softly. “Thank you, Carley.”
Carley waved her hand and yawned. “Jennifer, I’m going to take a nap. Call me if you need me.”
Jennifer nodded. “There’s a doctor on rounds. You can sleep.”
Carley then closed her eyes and fell asleep, exhausted.
Carley worked at the nightclub, most of the time on the night shift. She was very busy and tired.
She did not enter the university, without her degree, she couldn’t be like those white-collar workers who could sit comfortably in the office.
After graduating from high school, she couldn’t find a good job, and she wanted to get a foothold in Boston, so she went to nightclubs.
At first, she was a salesgirl, but later she achieved the position of a manager because of her good performance.
She struggled for a few years, and bought a house and a car, she was doing okay, just with some difficulty.
Fortunately, Carley had a reliable boyfriend and they were getting married on the 9th of the next month.
When she was married, she would be able to shed her orphan status and rebuild a family of her own.
Although Carley had a hard time over the years, she always had a bright future ahead of her.
Jennifer, for the rest of her life, would have no regrets as long as she could live to see Carley off to her wedding day
