Meanwhile, Nathan brought Penny, Colin, Ava, and the others to visit Frida in the hospital.
A few of Frida's ribs were broken from the fight. She suffered from a serious internal injury. Luckily, her condition was stable and she was healing slowly.
When Frida saw her employers, she struggled to sit up.
Nathan immediately stopped her. “Lie down. Don't move.”
Penny came to Frida and sat on the edge of her bed. “That's right. The doctor said you were injured badly. You can't move around,” she cajoled softly.
Frida was overwhelmed. “General, I'm sorry for
I've failed to protect Mrs. Cross. I am deeply ashamed. I don't deserve your kindness.”
Nathan flashed a smile. “That man has a nickname, Odin. He's a famous warrior. Of course, you're no match for him.”
Penny consoled her. “I gave you a bonus this month. Rest well and recover soon.”
She continued, “Nathan told me you had many old wounds. After you recovered, you can resign and return to a normal life.”
Turns out Penny had transferred a bonus often million to Frida's account so the latter wouldn't have to risk her life anymore.
Frida panicked instantly. “Mrs. Cross, are you chasing me away?”
Penny chuckled. “Of course not. You can decide whether you want to stay after you recovered completely.”
Nodding, Frida inquired curiously, “I'm currently in the hospital. Who will take over my job for now?”
“Ava will be my personal bodyguard for now,” replied Penny.
Frida relaxed upon hearing her answer. Nathan had trained Ava himself. She also used to head the National Guards alongside Colin, so she was definitely qualified for this job.
Penny was about to remind Frida to rest well when she suddenly blanched.
Covering her mouth, she dashed into the restroom.
Everyone was astounded by her sudden
departure.
Nathan ran after Penny and was greeted by the sight of the latter puking. He patted her back anxiously. “What's wrong?”
