Chapter 58: Bloodwork
“Serena, I got the lab results back for the annual physicals,” Adriana said, dropping a pile of folder in front of Serena at the Nurse’s station. “Thanks?” Serena asked, looking up at her boss and raising an eyebrow. Adriana chuckled. “Can you go through them and make sure everything is normal?” she asked. “Sure,” Serena said. “You can use my office is you want some privacy,” Adriana offered. Serena left the nurse’s station, a large stack of files in her arms. Going over the bloodwork numbers was necessary work, but it was monotonous all the same. “I’ll bring the next batch in when the lab finishes them,” Adriana called after her.

Her eyes were starting to blur a little, all the results bleeding together.
Serena mumbled, tossing the page on the desk. She rubbed her eyes and stretched. “I know, it is a lot to go

“Oh, they miss him?” Adriana asked, looking up from the paper in her hands. “They think he is fun, more fun than my other friends,”
Serena sighed, finishing off her chips. “With the kids and everything,” she said vaguely. “Carson doesn’t like them?” she asked. “No, he likes them a lot,” she said. “They think he is a little boring. Besides, I didn’t come here to date. Sure, I’d like to settle down, eventually, but my focus right now is my career and my kids.” Adriana laughed, shuffling some files around. “Well, at least you are making connections within
