Although he had mentioned the side effects wouldn't be too bad, that might have been true for patients without prior surgeries like mine.

"Your body's too weak to handle this. You barely look human at this point." I forced a weak smile. "If I wait until I'm healthy enough, I'll probably relapse a third time. I have to push through."

The overpass project, already full of complications, was delayed further because I wasn't there to oversee it. It seemed like a lot of the design proposals had been delayed as well. When Emma called me, she was furious.
"This is your design, Eva, but Amelia's trying to take over. She doesn't even have the required qualifications for this! It's insane! "Is she out of her mind? Doesn't she know that making a last-minute replacement like this is a huge taboo?" Apparently, despite Amelia's tstudying abroad, her qualifications weren't recognized domestically. It madewonder about her true intentions to study abroad. But there was no tto dwell on that. The project was under a tight deadline.

I couldn't just let it slide." "Oh really?" I said from the doorway, leaning against the frame.

Emma stepped between us, her patience clearly running thin. "Are you blind or just deaf? If you have nothing useful to say, why don't you keep your mouth shut?"
There was a twhen she would have been too scared to stand up to him. But now, Leohard's behavior had ut becso absurd that Emma, like the rest of us, had lost her fear. I gave Leonard a cold stare.
