章 162: Chapter 162

Eloise slowly blinked open her tired eyes. Bright light in the room almost blinded her sensitive eyes. 'Why do hospitals have these annoying ceiling lights?' she thought, turning her face to the side. She really wanted to lift her hand up to cover her eyes, but her entire body felt like it was hit by a truck. 'I really need a raise,'

She was working part time when all of a sudden drunken man dashed to the cashier counter with a gun and demanded money. She had obediently given it to him even so the stupid man shot her and ran away.

'Why did he have to waste a bullet? Ugh, I'm already deep in student debts.... Bastard, I can't afford to be hospitalised. Tsk, the store better pay for my operation charges or I'm suing them,' she thought, clenching her fists tightly.

A war hand caressed her forehead soothingly, covering her aching eyes. "There, there, it's all right now," a cold towel was gently placed on her forehead.
