Grace nodded with a smile and chatted with Kingsley for a little longer. Then she turned to look at Mckenzie, who was still lying in the bed in a coma.
Mckenzie's condition had not improved at all. She was still so weak and had no sign of waking up.
Gazing at her emaciated face, Grace was filled with remorse. What would it have been like if she had promised to go to the restaurant to help?
She was sure that if she had gone there, things wouldn’t have turned so bad.
Also, her relationship with Charlie wouldn't have become like this.
Raising her eyebrows, Grace stopped thinking nonsense. She tidied up her things, told some precautions to the nurse and then went to the restaurant
She still had so many ingredients to prepare in both restaurants. Besides, all the materials should be checked to prevent another accident from taking place.
Before Mckenzie fell ill, Grace always found opportunities to slack off on her work.
As long as Mckenzie paid attention to her, she would quicken her actions.
But once Mckenzie looked away, she would slow down and follow her inclinations.
Now that Mckenzie was severely ill, no one else in the kitchen would notice whether she was slacking off or spending time on her mobile phone. However, she became more diligent and attentive than before.
It was nearly six o'clock in the afternoon when she finished preparing all ingredients. Her appointment with Mark was at eight o'clock, so there were still two hours left.
She carefully checked all materials in the restaurant and told the manager to check them again before leaving. Afterwards, she drove directly to the hospital.
Since all patients got timely and effective treatment, their condition didn't get worse. Besides, they received their compensation in time.
Grace came to each patient's bed to stay for a few minutes. She asked them about their physical condition and then chatted with them for a while.
After she finished all these things, it was nearly seven o’clock. She immediately left the hospital and drove to the Emerald Bar.
