Under Rodrick’s protection, Bianca sat safely in the car.
Although I did get a bit of rain, it wasn’t much.
“The rain was pretty cold today.” Bianca rubbed her arms.
Rodrick thoughtfully turned on the heater.
Bianca, who had calmed down, was chatting with Rodrick, “Britney seemed weird today. Did she really come to the hospital because her family was sick? That’s just too much of a coincidence, especially since it was the oncology department.”
Bianca said this on purpose to test Rodrick’s attitude toward Britney.
After all, Britney had been with Rodrick for seven years, even though Rodrick never made Britney’s identity public.
Bianca still had some concerns, even though she didn’t take Britney seriously.
There was no way a grown man had no women around him.
So she could accept that Rodrick and Britney had a relationship outside of work.
But this kind of relationship could only last before she showed up!
Rodrick’s reaction was calm, even a bit indifferent, “Really? Didn’t notice.”
Hearing this, Bianca smiled and felt a lot more at ease.

“Achoo!”
It was probably because she got caught in the rain that afternoon, so at night Britney felt dizzy and lightheaded.
There were really obvious cold symptoms!
Looks like when the doctor said her immune system was totally shut down, he wasn’t trying to scare her.
Her body back then was so weak, it really couldn’t handle even a little wind or rain.
Britney was afraid Lila would worry, so she kept hiding in the hallway outside, sneezing one after another.
But she couldn’t be away for too long, so she went to the pharmacy, took the medicine, and then went back to the ward.
Because she was sick, Lila’s face was almost colorless, and she was really skinny.
Britney felt a sadness she couldn’t put into words.
Since she could remember, there was only her mom around.
She had never seen her father, and didn’t know who her father was.
When I was a kid and didn’t know any better, my classmates laughed at me and called me a bastard with an unknown father.
Britney also cried and asked Lila to tell her where her dad was.
Lila just held her in her arms, comforting her again and again, “Our Bree doesn’t need a dad, Bree just needs her mom.” So for Britney,

Lila was her whole world.
No matter what, she had to hold up this sky.
It was like this before, and it’s still like this now.
The next day was Friday, Britney didn’t go to the office and didn’t call in sick.
Her mind wasn’t on the company at all, and since she had already
decided to leave Royarch Capital, she didn’t care about any of Royarch Capital’s rules.
Lila’s biopsy result came out, and luckily the tumor was benign.
This result made Britney breathe a little sigh of relief.
Kellan explained Lila’s situation to her. Lila’s underlying conditions were too serious, and the surgery was much riskier than usual. The expert team might not want to take on this tough case.
Britney’s heart jumped again.
She told Kellan, Even if the chances were slim, she still wanted to try.
Katheryn nervously brought the file into Rodrick’s office.
The man didn’t look up and asked before she could sneak away, “Where’s Britney?”
“Britney didn’t come today.” Katheryn didn’t dare to hide it.
Rodrick frowned, and his well–defined face seemed covered with a layer of frost.
Katheryn was so scared she almost forgot to breathe.
Luckily, in the end, Rodrick didn’t say anything.
