Chapter 131 Joy's dilemma proved to be a tough nut to crack, and she couldn't make it back. In her stead, Jeremy dutifully swung by every day to chauffeur Leanne to and from work.
By day, she was ensconced within the bustling hospital, and by night, she retreated to the high-security embrace of Crystal Cove Villas. Leanne wasn't left to her own devices, nor did she encounter any more of the bizarre occurrences that had unsettled her that one day.

Leanne replied, "No worries, I'm on the night shift today anyway." "Leanne's on the graveyard shift, huh?" Amy fretted, "What if that creep decides to show up in the middle of the night?" "Don't jinx it, Amy, knock on wood," Donna quickly interjected, before turning to Leanne with advice, “Make sure you buddy up when you head to the restroom, don't go alone." Leanne nodded and opened her drawer to reveal her secret weapon, "I'm prepared." Amy's eyes lit up with excitement, "Sendthe link for that." That day, a patient showed up at the hospital sporting a swollen, blistered left eye - turned out to be a bacterial infection. He was treated with anti-inflammatory medication by the day-shift doctor.
Leanne was in the middle of documenting patient histories when the man's condition took a nosedive. His left eyelid was ulcerated and sealed shut by swelling, and he was in excruciating pain, spiking a high fever. They had to rush him to the ICU.
Leanne grabbed her things in a hurry, rushing out only to double back and pocket her essentials.
After administering medication to control the infection and consulting with other doctors for an urgent urgent treatment plan, hours had slipped by for Leanne. She had missed dinner, and the cafeteria had long since closed its doors for the night. She figured she'd order takeout back at the office.
Meeting a nurse in the corridor, Leanne inquired about a patient who had just undergone surgery that afternoon. After their exchange, she turned to continue to her office. Passing through a security corridor, she was caught completely off-guard when a hand clamped over her mouth and dragged her aside.

In a flash, she reached into her pocket and sprayed her pepper spray blindly behind her.
A scream pierced the air as the grip on her slackened. Gasping for air and coughing violently, Leanne's vision swam, and her limbs felt weak She groped for the door to the passage, driven by instinct But she hadn't anticipated an accomplice.

Leanne tried desperately to hold her breath, kicking at the door with all her might, hoping to make enough noise to be heard. 212
