Ann Cavanaugh tilted her head slightly, her smile unchanged as she explained, "Mia Lawson fell sick, and I just got back, so I came to replace her."
Every time training started, they needed a certain number of medical personnel on site, because it was common for trainees to get injured during exercises. Their role was to provide swift treatment to injured persons when such incidents occurred.
For Ann Cavanaugh, her primary purpose for being here was not to help with treatment.
Someone like Glenn Hutchinson rarely visited the hospital, so she hardly ever got the chance to interact with him.
"Oh, I see."
Joshua Bailey, who knew the situation very well, nodded his head stiffly.
That was his way of acknowledging it.
She was already here; he couldn’t very well send her away, could he?
Moreover, the Captain wasn’t at the Base right now, so whether Ann Cavanaugh was present or not really made no difference to them.
Ann Cavanaugh gave him a smile and said, "I just wanted to say hello first."
Saying hello wasn’t about seeking approval.
Who was sent over was a matter for the hospital to decide.
"Okay," Joshua Bailey responded reluctantly, glanced at Ann Cavanaugh, and then suddenly added, "Take care to keep warm."
Ann Cavanaugh nodded.
She then turned and walked towards the other medical staff, shouldering her first aid kit.

Joshua Bailey turned his attention back to recording the arriving trainees.
This was the first time he had pulled this trick: as expected, most of them wouldn’t arrive until after six o’clock, and many didn’t even notice the training schedule posted at the stairwell, forcing them to train with everyone else.
Although the prescribed training duration was three and a half hours, those with good stamina could finish in two hours. But arriving at the Training Ground at six in the morning meant they wouldn’t complete it until at least eight.
Breakfast would happen without them.
That’s what Joshua Bailey thought.
At seven ten.
A short female soldier ran up to him like crazy.
She was covered in sweat, her cheeks were flushed, and her breath was uneven.
"Reporting to Lieutenant Bailey, I’ve finished my training!"
She quickly stood at attention in front of him, even saluting.
Her voice was loud and clear, her eyes determined and resolute.
Joshua Bailey looked at her skeptically for a few moments.
He recognized her.
Iris Dukes, the big eater.
Even though she was known for her exceptional stamina, to complete all the training in an hour and a half, to be on par with them...
Could it be possible?
He thought about it for a moment, then took out his walkie-talkie and asked, "Did someone finish already?"
Shortly after, Jude Marsh’s calm voice drifted over.
"Yes," he paused, then added, "Iris Dukes."
Upon hearing that, Joshua Bailey raised his eyebrows.
She really wasn’t cheating?
Although these people were professional soldiers and basically met the required standard, to prevent them from cheating because they couldn’t withstand the pressure, someone was stationed at both the training site and the cross-country running endpoint.
Joshua Bailey was in charge of the Training Ground.
Jude Marsh was at the finish line of the cross-country run.
There would be no armed swimming drills during this time.
So, as long as Jude Marsh confirmed it, it was unlikely that Iris Dukes cheated.
Seeing that Joshua Bailey gave no reaction, Iris Dukes pursed her lips and anxiously shouted at him.
Joshua Bailey put down the walkie-talkie and lowered his eyes to look at her, her expression distinctly anxious.
"Breakfast time is almost over."
