Her voice trailed off, but she didn’t need to finish; | could hear the unspoken words loud and clear. You've never

shownthis level of care or compassion before. | felt my chest constrict painfully, a lump forming in my

throat.

Because it was true.

Offering her a thin smile, | patted her hand and stood.

“Take the rest of this week off,” | said gently. “You need tto recover fully. And don’t worry; I'll make sure you

still receive your regular wages during that time, no arguments.”

If it was even possible, Ana looked

ven more stunned by my words. She opened her mouth to speak, but then closed it again, clearly too stunned to

even speak,

“I'm trying not to,” | admitted in a small voice, unable to keep the shfrom creeping into my tone. “But it's
