Women who gave birth, miscarried, or aborted their children all needed to recuperate.
This was very good for their recovery.
However, Sean shook her head and refused. "No, Ms. Raines. I don't need to recuperate. As you know, I exercise regularly, so I am strong. As I said before, if I rest for a few days, I am afraid that I will be lazy and won't be able to adapt to intensive work, not to mention resting for a month."
Sean smiled when she said this.
Sydney frowned. "Which is more important, work or your health? Sean, I know you are devoted to your career, but you can't ignore your health for the sake of your career. It's true you are strong, yet you'll have an abortion, and it will hurt your body. If you come back to work immediately after the operation and your body can't hold on, your career can't continue."
Sean lowered her head without saying anything.
She knew that Sydney was kind to her.
That was why Sydney tried to persuade her to recuperate after the abortion.
In fact, it wasn't that Sean really didn't want to recuperate. She was just afraid that her discomfort during that period would keep reminding her of the aborted child.
She was afraid that when she thought of the baby, she would think of Luke.
Then when she thought of Luke, she would start to miss the child she had aborted.
Once she thought about the child, she would regret it...
So Sean didn't want to recuperate. She wanted to come back to work. Busy work would numb her mind, let her ignore the physical discomfort, and stop her from thinking about the child and Luke.
Yet she couldn't say these words. She couldn't let Sydney know.
Once Sydney knew, she would definitely think that Sean was deliberately using work to hurt herself.
Seeing Sean lowering her head and not speaking, Sydney sighed, "Anyway, listen to me this time. After the operation, rest at home. Don't come to work within a month. Even if you come, I will have someone send you back. Got it?"
She said in a serious and tough manner.
Sean's mouth moved as if she still wanted to argue.
Sydney immediately glared at her. "Stop it. There is no room for negotiation over this matter. It's decided. I will visit you when I have time. If I find that you are not resting, I will definitely be angry with you."
Looking at her serious face, Sean froze and then smiled, "Ms. Raines, you are... Okay, I got it. Thanks for your concern. I'll rest well."
Sean felt lucky to have such a good boss.
She was touched.
Sydney's face softened. "That's more like it. Will there be someone with you for the operation tomorrow?"
"Yes, my best friend will go with me." Sean nodded her head.
Sydney put her mind at ease. "Good. Then I'm relieved. I'll see you at the hospital later."
"Okay." Sean agreed.
Sydney took the file she had just put down. "Well, there's nothing more. You can go out now. Leave work early today and prepare for tomorrow's operation."
"I see. Thank you, Ms. Raines." Sean bowed slightly, turned, and walked towards the door.
After Sean left, Sydney rubbed her brow, picked up a pen from the pencil holder, and began working on the documents.
Halfway through, the telephone on her desk rang.
Sydney took the receiver and put it between her shoulder and ear. She was signing the documents as she asked, "This is Sydney's office. May I help you?"
"Ms. Raines." A polite female voice came over the phone. "This is the front desk. A person from the Flint Group just came over and brought a lot of things, saying that those were gifts for your elders prepared by Mr. Flint. He wanted you to have a look and see if there was anything else he needed to add."
Hearing this, Sydney stopped signing, and she immediately reacted.
Those were probably the gifts that Julien had prepared for Luke's parents.
She thought that Julien would bring them directly to the Chases' home in the evening.
