"What are you doing?" Kaia stepped back abruptly, narrowly avoiding Tobias's hand.
Tobias's eyes narrowed deeply. "What are you hiding? It's not as simple as just going out for a walk, is it?"
Kaia took a deep breath, her expression turning stern and cold.
She said, "That's right. I went out to eat with a friend. And yes, it was a male friend. I didn't say anything because I was afraid you'd misunderstand, not because I was guilty. Every time I hang out with a guy, you always respond sarcastically and make it unpleasant for me."
'So that's really all it is?' Tobias thought.
Looking at Kaia's angry face, Tobias felt it did seem genuine.
After a moment, Tobias apologized sincerely, "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have pried into your business, and I shouldn't have doubted you."
"Alright, I accept your apology. You were just concerned about me. But I'm really tired now, so I'm going to sleep." Kaia turned her body away from him, not looking at him again.
That posture was clearly sending him a "you may leave" signal.
"Then sleep early. I won't disturb you anymore." Tobias turned and left.
When the door closed, Kaia let out a long sigh of relief.
Thank goodness for her quick thinking. Otherwise, she might have been found out.
Her head felt heavier and heavier, and drowsiness kept washing over her.
She decided to take a quick shower and go to bed early.
After preparing her pajamas, Kaia went to the bathroom and turned on the shower.
"Ouch! Forgot about that." She had forgotten about the wound on her forehead, and the water instantly splashed onto it.
After quickly tending to it, Kaia hurried through her shower, got into bed, pulled up the covers, and fell asleep almost immediately.
The next day, Stephen called, saying there was an important research breakthrough and Kaia should come take a look.
On the way to the research institute, she felt groggy and overwhelmingly sleepy.
Half an hour later, inside the institute, a group of senior professors surrounded her and began reporting.
As she listened, Kaia suddenly blacked out. Her consciousness faded as her vision went dark. She then collapsed onto the table.
"Dr. Bennett!" someone shouted.
"Oh no! Dr. Bennett has fainted! Quick, call a doctor!"
"Doctor! Doctor!"
"Dr. Bennett's forehead is bleeding!"
The institute was thrown into chaos.
Before long, an ambulance had rushed Kaia to the hospital.
The incident blew up. Soon, the entire city knew Dr. Bennett had been hospitalized, and it instantly became a trending topic on every major website.
Netizens flooded the comments section.
[I hope Dr. Bennett is okay. She's an irreplaceable pillar of our country!]
[Maybe she's just been working too hard. Even geniuses need a break!]
[Does anyone actually know what's wrong with her? Is it serious?]
[I want to know that too.]
Meanwhile, the Bennett family was eating together.
"Here, Andrea, eat more. You've lost weight working on research with Professor Guzman lately." Ruth placed a beef in Andrea's bowl.
"Thanks, Mom," Andrea replied with heartfelt gratitude.
Ruth smiled."You silly child, why be so polite?"
Lincoln looked at Andrea. "Last time you offended people at the institute… I don't know if you'll even be able to get in again."
At those words, everyone frowned.
Andrea bit her lip. "Dad, Mom, Dr. Bennett is in the hospital. I plan to visit her."
"You know where she's hospitalized?" Both Lincoln and Ruth were surprised.
