She had woken up several times last night only to stare at the man sleeping beside her. He looked exhausted. What did she expect? He was hopping like an energizer bunny between caring for her and working.
She believed he might have taken her workload if her presumptions were correct. When she called work to inform Brenda of her situation, she told her that Zach had already updated them. Then, she had nothing to worry about in her job.
"Just rest and concentrate on getting better." Those were her boss's exact words.
But, of course, she could not help but worry. She needed her job to support her and her child. She did not want to depend on the child support Edison was receiving. She wished to have independent financial freedom from that man as soon as possible.
Suddenly, the thought of him coming after her and her child went through her mind, but she quickly buried them. She did not need to worry about that good-for-nothing man now.
