Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed novel Chapter 270

"Jen, is it gout?"

"You know about it?"

"Yeah. Mrs. Payne has it too. I've got this herbal remedy. Well, it's not a cure-all, but it's great for pain relief and has way fewer side effects than the prescription stuff."

Jen's eyes, which had been dull, suddenly sparkled with hope. "That's fantastic! Send me the details later, will you? I'll swing by the pharmacy after work. Thank you so much."

"You have no idea, my grandma's been up all night in pain, and the painkillers don't do a thing. I felt so helpless. If your remedy works, I owe you dinner!"

Roseanne chuckled, "Dinner's not necessary. It's no big deal."

Stoddard chimed in, "Have you guys noticed? Ever since Anne joined us, every problem seems to solve itself. She's like a little lucky charm for our lab!"

Sammy, just walking in, caught the tail end of the conversation. "A lucky charm? What's this about?"

Jen replied, "We're talking about Roseanne. She's not only gorgeous but also super capable, like a little lucky charm."

Sammy nodded, about to agree, when suddenly Liz stood up from her desk, looking panicked, "My computer's been tampered with! All the experimental data on the hard drive is missing!"

"What?"

"A virus, again? That shouldn't be happening..." Stoddard immediately went to his computer to check. "The IT guy just upgraded our firewall. This shouldn't be happening."

Jen quickly checked her computer as well.

The air grew tense.

Stoddard announced, "My data's all here, nothing's missing. How about you, Jen?"

"Mine's fine too."

Their eyes then turned to Sammy and Roseanne.

Sammy reported, "All good here."

Roseanne added, "Same, no problems."
