Chapter 91 Homeless


    Be stood by the entrance, not sure if she should go inside, until Sylvia noticed her. "Ms. Jones, why are you standing out here?"


    Be, feeling anxious, quickly shook her head. "I just remembered something I needed to handle at the hospital. I''ll be on duty tonight, so I won''t being back. Can you tell Dominic for me? I have to leave now." Before Sylvia could say anything, Be had already turned and walked away.


    When she got back to the hospital, a nurse looked surprised. "Dr. Jones, didn''t you already clock out? Are you volunteering for extra work? You''re really dedicated!"


    Be couldn''t admit that she had nowhere else to go, so she forced a smile and said, "A patient mentioned they mighte inte... I''m just waiting to see if they show up."


    As the night went on, more and more people asked why she was still at the hospital. Even though they were just being friendly, it made her feel even more ufortable, like she didn''t belong anywhere.


    Be couldn''t face going home, and hanging around the hospital felt awkward, so she decided to drive to Lia''s ce. Having a friend like Lia kept her from feelingpletely alone.This content is ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Lia''s studio was mmed with a big project, and she was workingte. With just a few people on her team, they were all exhausted from the workload.


    Seeing how tired Lia was, Be didn''t want to bother her with her own problems. She just sat quietly, looking at the beautiful wooden carvings around the studio. Lia took a quick break to drink some water and vented to Be, "I don''t know who ordered this huge project, but it''s draining me! If it wasn''t for my studio''s reputation, I''d just use a machine to do it. My hands are a mess!" Be felt for her. "Didn''t you meet the client when you signed the contract?"


    Lia shook her head. "No, I never met them. They sent an assistant who looked like bad news. If I''d met the client, I probably wouldn''t have taken the job. It''s the most expensive andplicated carving we''ve ever done, and it''s taken up all our time for thest three mont Be tried to reassure her friend, "Don''t worry. I''m here to make sure you don''t overwork yourself. You just focus on your work, and I''ll handle everything else."


    Lia chuckled, though she seemed half-annoyed, "Are you guarding me? Or did you juste here because you had another fight with Dominic?"


    Lia always seemed to know what was going on with Be. She stayed quiet, which made Lia''s concern grow. "Did I guess right? What happened this time?" Be shook her head. "It''s nothing. Just keep working. I''ll stay over at your ce tonight."


    Seeing Be''s mood, Lia decided not to push further and went back to her tasks.


    By 11:00 pm, when the other workers had left and the studio was quiet, Lia wrapped up her work. "Let''s go. If Dominic''s being a pain, you''re wee to stay with me." Be tried tough but couldn''t. "Stop joking. I''m so tired-let''s just go home and get some rest.


    As Lia locked the door, she muttered something under her breath about Dominic, "I''m not joking. You know exactly what kind of person Dominic is. Even if you don''t say it, it''s written all over your face that he''s upset you again. I swear, I just want to..."


    Lia''s voice trailed off as she suddenly spotted a ck Rolls-Royce parked outside. She froze and pressed herself against the door. "Oh my gosh!


    When did he get here?" Be''s heart raced. It was definitely Dominic''s car. Why was he here? She had told Sylvia she wouldn''t being home that night.
