The reason she volunteered as a hostage was merely to fulfill her duty. Given the situation at that time, she and Rowdy Brightwill were the only ones who could help. However, the criminals would never invite Rowdy Brightwill, a potential threat, so when they showed interest in her, she naturally stepped in to seek an opportunity to rescue the hostages.
For her, all of this was simply a matter of what should and shouldn’t be done.
Janice Wood, feeling dejected, hadn’t had a chance to ask about her situation when she saw Flossie heading for the door. She couldn’t help but call out to her, "Where are you going?"
Flossie paused slightly, glanced at her, and replied indifferently, "Back to the cooking class."
Although she had notified the leader of the team when she came to the hospital, she had also promised to return by lunchtime. However, now some incidents had taken place in the hospital, and she had slept until the afternoon. By the time she rushed back, the soldiers’ lunch break would be over. If she went back later...
Undoubtedly, she gave Neal Thompson the perfect excuse to criticize her.
To save herself from further nuisance, Flossie decisively chose to return immediately.
Janice Wood nodded understandingly, her creased-up eyes smiling as she waved Flossie goodbye.
Under the bright light, her smile was incredibly warm.
Flossie waved goodbye to her, and calmly left the door.
However, what Flossie, who left with a peaceful state of mind, did not expect was to find an astonishing spectacle right at the entrance of the hospital.
𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
A row of doctors and nurses in white uniforms, standing motionless in the sun as if on military parade. They were like upright white sticks. The atmosphere and grandeur made it seem like a major event was taking place in the hospital. Flossie was taken aback seeing this unexpected sight.
Flossie scanned the group instinctively, estimating there were about twenty to thirty of them. Doctors in the first row and nurses in the second, with a few familiar faces amidst them.
"Speak up!"
The chief, who had spoken to Glenn Hutchinson that morning, stood at the front of the row. He put on a stern and furious face, and as soon as he saw Flossie, he roared, startling her.
It was not until the next moment that Flossie heard the loud unified voice —
"Our heroine, we’re sorry!"
The voices of more than thirty people, resonating with fervor as if reaching the heavens, made Flossie’s ears tingle.
Looking at each sincere face, like children who had done wrong, earnestly admitting their mistakes, Flossie suddenly felt like laughing.
This was... seriously funny.
Not much later, the chief approached Flossie, bowing very sincerely and speaking in a strong voice.
"Comrade Flossie, on behalf of the entire hospital staff, I apologize to you!"
Flossie tactfully hid the amusement in her eyes, becoming more serious. If she didn’t understand why this group of people was standing here now, it would be a problem with her cognitive abilities.
It’s a pity that she didn’t take that incident to heart. Seeing such a ridiculous scene, apart from wanting to laugh a little, she didn’t feel much else.
But, she had to maintain a certain attitude.
"No problem," Flossie said in a seemingly casual manner, with a faint smile on her face. She looked extremely magnanimous and understanding, adding a touch of empathy to her composed demeanor.
