Chapter 4,38
When they arrived, the hospital staff was already waiting for them. All Serenity had to do was follow the
nurse.
And 30, the mirse guided Serenity through the whole process of drawing blood, getting X–ray, getting
ultrasound, and so on, Jackson waited for Serenity in the VIP lounge of the Health Screening Center.
As the nurse led Serenity to various departments to perform tests, Serenity saw long queues at the
entrances of several of the departments,
According to the nurse, some companies were also conducting their medical checkups there, so it was
a very busy day.
Serenity followed the nurse to the ultrasound department. There were long queues outside several of
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthe ultrasound rooms. The nurse led Serenity towards a room with no queue.
“Serenity!” Suddenly, a voice called out.
Serenity turned around and saw Liliana Granger. She was queuing in one of the lines.
Serenity was surprised to see Liliana. Was she there for a medical checkup too? Then Serenity looked
at the people around Liliana. Sure enough, she saw the familiar faces of some of her old co–workers
from the law firm.
What a coincidence. It seemed like the law firm was also conducting a medical checkup there today.
Liliana spoke a few words to the person next to her, then jogged over to Serenity. “What a surprise to
see you here! Are you here to deliver food?”
“No, I came for a medical checkup,” said Serenity.
“A medical checkup, huh…” Liliana scrutinized Serenity. Serenity was indeed not in her work clothes
today. She was dressed much more nicely. “That’s great. You probably haven’t done any medical
checkups after getting released from prison, so you should really get one.”
Liliana pretended to say with a regretful face, “The queue is really long today. I thought about letting
you cut in front of me so that you could save some time, but that would be unfair for the people behind
me. Sorry, Serenity,”
Serenity was rather amused. If Liliana really was sorry, she did not have to say those things at all.
“That’s okay. I never thought about cutting in line anyway,” replied Serenity.
The nurse next to Serenity said, “Ms. Lewis, should we go into the ultrasound room first? The doctor is
waiting.”
“Okay,” answered Serenity. She followed the nurse into an ultrasound room.
Liliana looked dumbfounded. What’s going on? Why did the nurse lead Serenity into that ultrasound
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmroom? Earlier, she inquired about why no one was lining up in front of that room, but the hospital staff
told her that that the room was not open for medical checkups
Then how come Serenity could po in?
Liliana returned to her own queue gloomily. The coworker who was queuing up next to her asked, “Lily,
was that our firm’s former employee that you said went to prison? Is she here for a medical checkup
too? How come she didn’t queue up at the back and instead went into that empty ultrasound room?”
“Who knows?” Liliana answered with a pout.
“Lily, is she really working as a food delivery rider now that she’s out of prison?” the coworker asked
curiously to confirm the rumors she heard.
“Yeah. Star’s delivered food to our office a few times before. Next Monday, I’ll order takeout from her
restaurant again to give them some business,” Liliana said with a smile. She would make sure Serenity
made a fool of herself when the time came.
