Chapter 31 Anne raised her head tearfully. “I…I feel so uncomfortable…I’m on my period…”
Lucia saw her clutching her stomach and said, “That looks pretty serious! Would you want to take sick leave?”
Another colleague, Zelda, sneered, “What an interesting conversation I’m hearing here! I’m also on my period, and yet you don’t see me taking leave, do you?”
“Hey, don’t you think that’s a little too harsh?” Lucia, who had just started speaking, lowered her voice and frowned.
“I’m not exactly wrong, am I? You’re now telling me every woman that has dysmenorrhea should take leave?”
“Can’t you see how much pain she is in?”
“Well, she’s not going to die, is she?” Zelda snorted. Anne knew that Zelda had a good relationship with her former supervisor, and she must be distraught when she got dismissed.
Using the wall to support herself, she stood up slowly from the ground. “I’m fine…” After saying that, she left the bathroom.
She was not in pain because of her period, but it was the
best reason she could give.

When should she return? She had to!
Anne calmed herself down and replied with a text message, [I will return in half a month!)
Chloe was lying on the hospital bed, as dainty as a doll. Her little round face was flushed because of the fever and
sickness, and she curled into a small ball under her quilt. The first word she spoke after she opened her beautiful watery eyes was, “Mama…”
However, she only saw Nancy and her brothers by the bed. “Sister, don’t be afraid, I will accompany you!” Charlie’s soft little hand gently touched his sister’s face.
“Sickness sickness go away! My sister will recover very soon!” Chris grabbed Chloe’s hand in his.
“Hmm…” Chloe could not see her Mama and she wanted to cry, but she held back her tears, forcing her small mouth shut, feeling very aggrieved, “When will Mama be back?”
“Nancy says we will see her in half a month!” Charlie said.
“Do you know how many days that is?” Chris asked.
Chloe replied weakly, “About fifteen days…”
“Yes! We’ll be waiting for Mama together!” Charlie raised his fists to cheer everyone up.
