Chapter 396: Chapter 396: Life Isn’t Easy
"If you’re not feeling well, you should take the day off."
July Quinn single-handedly took down more than twenty members of the Alpha Mercenary Corps, eliminating countless unstable factors.
She’s undoubtedly a hero of the people.
And now she doesn’t feel well and wants to rest a bit more, of course she should rest. Owen Shaw definitely couldn’t let the people’s hero become disheartened.
But unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, July Quinn replied, "No worries, I’ll be there in a bit."
Here she was, lying in bed letting some heartless juice machine continue to grind her, and rather than being squeezed to death, it was better to go treat the sick and save lives, at least there was a way out.
"But..."
"No buts."
Owen Shaw tried to persuade her, but July Quinn directly blocked his words and hung up the phone.
Afterward, July Quinn quickly turned over, got out of bed, and dressed.
Even though every step she took felt like she was being torn apart, her personality absolutely did not allow her weak side to be shown.
Yet despite this, Kyle Keaton still came forward and embraced her tightly.
"Your body isn’t fit for going to work right now."
Though July Quinn didn’t show it, Kyle Keaton could tell her steps were unsteady.
The point was, he had just opened the Pandora’s grindbox, and it was a time of can’t-stop-wanting-to-grind.
But as soon as he spoke, July Quinn pushed him away.
"Going to work is still better than staying here and being killed by you."
Kyle Keaton fought bravely, coming forward to hug her again.
"How could I do something that cruel?"
How could he bear July Quinn dying?
He just wanted to pamper her dearly.
Just as he spoke, he was pushed away by July Quinn again.
"What now?" Kyle Keaton looked deeply hurt, even his pupils were dim.
But his pitiful expression didn’t earn any sympathy; instead, he got a warning.
"Touch me again, and don’t expect me back tonight. When I say something, I mean it."
Kyle Keaton wanted to say something, but looking up, he saw July Quinn’s "I know what you’re thinking" expression.
In the end, all his reasons and complaints could only be digested by himself.
Having experienced the departure gift package before, he knew July Quinn could do anything.
"Alright, but you’d better come back right after work."
It was three in the afternoon, only three hours until quitting time.
In those three hours, he could replenish his energy and enhance the quality of what was to come, emmmm...
Whether July Quinn didn’t see through his thoughts or did see through them but was too lazy to point them out, after nodding in agreement, July Quinn left the small apartment.
Thus, Kyle Keaton began his three-hour strength replenishing and fitness enhancement session.
Meanwhile, July Quinn went downstairs first to visit the dangerous Susan Carter before going to Rosewell Hospital.
As soon as she pushed open the downstairs door, she saw that Susan Carter was surrounded by dishwashing detergent, laundry powder, and soap.
And Susan Carter was pale, drinking foamy water.
Clearly, someone was hoping to wash out the bombs she had casually stuffed into her mouth earlier using a method akin to stomach pumping.
"It’s useless." After leaning on the door frame watching for several seconds, July Quinn finally spoke up coldly.
The scare made Susan Carter burp, blowing out several bubbles in the process.
"When did you arrive and why didn’t you make a sound?"
Now, just seeing July Quinn’s beautiful face, Susan Carter’s mind instinctively recalled the scenes of getting beaten by her, truly unsettling.
"Right before you drank that 500 milliliters of soap water."
Susan Carter: "..."
This she-devil knew the soap water was useless, so why wait until after he drank it to say so?
Life’s not easy, Susie sighed.
