"I personally think, as you all know, the boss is one paranoid dude. If he finds out about this, then that other boss will know too, and they might think we're not running a tight ship. Also, that lady always comes with a blindfold and can't recognize this place. I guess it's just a coincidence."
"He's right. Last time you dozed off at the door, the lady boss almost docked your salary for this month. This time, she might dock even more."
The three fell silent, exchanged glances, and made a decision without a word.
......
From that day on, Allison worked part-time at Mercy Grove Hospital whenever she had the time.
Laura laughed, "No one loves working in a mental hospital like you do. Even the nurses here can't stand it."
She would give a bitter smile whenever this was mentioned, "I need the money."
After a week of hard work, Saturday finally came. After removing the blindfold, she saw Grace lying on the hospital bed. Grace could stay lucid for a while every day. At this moment, she looked particularly thin. She suddenly uttered, “Allison…"
Tears welled up in Allison's eyes, "Mom."
"Don't cry; Mommy’s okay."
She lowered her voice, "Mom, I'll get you out of here."
"Allison, you can't fight her; everyone here is on her side. Don't do anything stupid. If Leah bullies you, go find Christopher. Let him help you."
Allison was speechless.
Since she learned the truth about her brother and father's departure, Christopher became a hypocrite in her eyes.
She used to think that Christopher was a gentle person.
"Daisy, what are you up to?"
"Allison, today is my high school classmate's birthday. I used to have a crush on him, but that was when I was young and naive. Now our two families are in business together, and I can't ignore his birthday. So I need you to go there for me. I've prepared clothes and gifts for you. You can stay and have fun if you want, or just give him the gift and come back."
Allison was silent for a moment, "What about you?"
"I... my grandmother is back, and she arranged a blind date for me." Daisy's voice on the other end of the phone was filled with trouble.
Allison couldn't help but laugh. She glanced at the handbag on the seat next to her, then said, "Got it. Good luck on your date!"
Cliff took her to a styling salon, where Daisy arranged a stylist. Half an hour later, Allison came out of the salon in a trendy autumn outfit, with her hair slightly curled and her skin glowing.
Cliff glanced at her in the rear-view mirror while driving, "Ms. Zimmer, you should pay more attention to your appearance on a regular basis. A little dress up like this makes you look very beautiful."
