Once Jessica returned to her old house, she texted her secretary to inform her that she would take a day off today and that her secretary could come to look for her at her house if there was anything important.
After a shower, Jessica went back to her bed and slept.
She did not know how long she had slept when she was awakened by the sound of the doorbell.
She sat up with difficulty, only to find that her legs hurt when she bent them. It hurt so much that it felt as though something had tore.
When she finally put on her clothes and walked to the door to open it, she saw her secretary, Luna, and Harold.
Harold was holding some food in one hand and flowers in another. He asked with concern, "Luna said you're sick, so I came over to visit you. How are you feeling?"
As he was speaking, he stretched out his hand to touch Jessica's forehead.
"I'm fine." Jessica shunned him with a frown.
Harold was a little embarrassed with his hand freezing in mid-air. Upon seeing that scene, Luna quickly said, "President Snow, these are some documents I need you to sign urgently."
"Come in."
After Jessica tidied her casual clothes, she sat down on the couch.
"You haven't had breakfast, have you? I've brought you some food." Harold put down the breakfast, which looked bland, on the table.
Jessica threw a look at it. She had an IV infusion with an empty stomach in the wee hours, so her stomach was not feeling too great. She took the porridge and sipped it without pretending.
"Which part of your body doesn’t feel well? Do you need me to call the doctor over?" Harold secretly glanced around. There was no trace of a man living here, and he suspected that Jessica had lied to him last night.
“No need." Jessica took the documents and started flipping through them. Then, she said with a hoarse voice, "I've seen a doctor at the hospital and collected my medicine. Both of you may leave after visiting me.
You should get back to work."
