Vera flinched, quickly averting her gaze.
“Oh, I just took a shower at the dorm,” Elias explained with a forced smile. “I was worried I’d come back too late and disturb your rest. Mira, let’s go home.”
Mira opened her mouth to reply, but a sudden sharp pain pierced her head. Before she could react, her vision blurred, and she collapsed.
When she regained consciousness, the first thing she heard was Elias' anxious voice.
“Doctor, what’s wrong with my wife?”
His voice was strained, and his hands trembled with concern.
Mira slowly opened her eyes, finding the doctor handing a piece of paper to Elias. The man’s gaze fixed on the document, his expression darkening.
Mira’s heart squeezed. It’s over. He’s going to find out about the tumor.
The thought struck her like a cold wave. She couldn’t let him know.
“The situation is not serious,” the doctor reassured, “Her hemoglobin is low, and there are signs of anemia. She probably fainted from exhaustion. Just ensure she gets plenty of rest.”
Elias' tense posture visibly relaxed. “Thank you, doctor.”
Mira blinked, confused. Could it be just a simple check-up?
